Obscure songs from Tony Hatch (Mark Anthony!) and Burt Bacharach are there I think DR Elmore.

DR BEN - Trog may star Ms Joan Crawford, but it is produced by Mr Herman Cohen so there are some physique models in the movie, too.

Most notably featured is Mr John Hammill who in a change of pace is the SECOND person in the movie to take off his pants.

I'm sure Dear Mr. Barnum knows of John Hammill

DP Colin and I are at last catching up with "Bleak House" which we recorded before we were in North America. It is wonderful!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #63 on:** April 18, 2008, 05:17:44 AM »

Yes, I am sure DR MBARNUM knows Mr Hammill, as I do, by reputation.

On a side note:

I was awakened at 5:30 am this morning by a strange sound and weird vibrations and it seems there was a 5.4 earthquake about 120 miles east of St Louis....we certainly felt it here!

DR TCB - yes, my name is Virginia. Many people call me Ginny, some call me Gin. Professionally, I use Virginia, because on the phone Ginny gets confused with Jenny. Also, Richard likes the more formal version of my name, and of his.

People have more trouble spelling Virginia than I'd expect. At Starbucks, they often ask your name and write it on your cup. The other morning, it looked like I was named for a pharmaceutical.

I've just read the page by DR DrinkStraw. A change of medication may be needed - for him and me!

AH. The earth moved for DR JRand. Much as it did not for Glenda Jackson in "A Touch Of Class".

Tomovoz · « **Reply #67 on:** April 18, 2008, 05:27:05 AM »

Still no sign of "Travels With My Aunt" on DVD. (Somehow I went from "A Touch Of Class" to that).

There are also a couple of listings for single copies of "Kismet" with Amazon's other sellers. I certainly can't afford to buy the "set" when I'd would not watch the other films - and of course the postage will be so much to the land down under. I may investigate in a month or so and see if more individual copies of "Kismet" are available.

And it is now bedtime in the land of OZ. (and a chapter or two of Mr Hoeg's book). Have a good day everyone - conferences especially!

I'm up, I'm up... And would anyone else like a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice?

In other news... This week was one of those weeks that kept changing speeds, so to speak - at least for me. It seemed the days took turns with their pacing - Sunday was slow, Monday went by like that, Tuesday down-shifted again... And now we're back to another Friday... Whew?

DR elmore - Is the reading taking place down at Chelsea Studios? -I know they were there yesterday. If so, we might end up seeing each other in the hallway today.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #75 on:** April 18, 2008, 05:44:50 AM »

As for DR singdaw's page one frenzy... I'm not sure if it's a matter of a change of medication. I believe he may either need to be taken off of it, or put be on some. Although, there is the totally plausible possibility that "taking Zach for a walk" is a euphemism for something that could be considered unseemly.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #76 on:** April 18, 2008, 05:46:41 AM »

OOHH!! Earthquake!

DR Jrand - In the movie that's to be made of this morning's earthquake in Indiana, which actot would you like to play you? -besides you, of course.

Thanks, DR Jose!

I'd love a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice. What I'd really love is a hot shower. Just discovered that there's no hot water in my room - BRRR! and GRRR!. Hope it's not a problem throughout the hotel! I'll find out soon.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #78 on:** April 18, 2008, 05:47:23 AM »

And, yes, "Eli Stone", was quite wonderful last night.

Yes, indeedy! I hope the New York appearance of His Holiness the Pope, which should keep the media tied up all weekend, doesn't affect my travel through midtown and beyond!

~~~~~HOTEL HOT WATER VIBES~~~~~

*That's actually a common problem/occurence during the SETC Conventions each year. Since "we" take over the whole hotel, and since most of the programs all start at the same time in the morning, basically the whole is taking a shower at the same time. -Or something like that. It definitely causes temporary hot water issues for the later-risers.

Just take the 1 train to 28th Street and walk down to 26th. I'd avoid the busses today.

Well, I'm gonna get ready to head in for today's round of Damn Yankees auditions. -And since I can't remember if I confirmed this or not yesterday: Yes, they are for the upcoming City Center Summer Stars presentation.

Hopefully, our turn out will, well, turn out today. When it's sparsely attended, it certainly makes the day drag.

Laters...

Ben · « **Reply #83 on:** April 18, 2008, 05:57:39 AM »

They keep saying that the Subways won't be affected by the visit but I somehow doubt that analysis.

They also say most of the closures will happen on the East Side (location of the United Nations and the Italian Ambassador's residence, AKA the Pope's Hotel)

Ben · « **Reply #84 on:** April 18, 2008, 05:58:46 AM »

Yes, Jose, yesterday (say that 3 times fast) you confirmed that it's for the Jack McFarland, oops, sorry Sean Hayes, production of Damn Yankees.

Re: last night's ELI STONE finale

I am not totally sure how i feel about this episode. I love this show. And have loved loved loved the last 2 episodes. I will say i found this episode sort of confusing. Like DR MattH in the beginning of the show i thought that what was happening might be visions and he would realize he should not have the surgery (i mean this has been the premise of the show).

The going back and forth from what seemed like reality (the case...) to the hospital, was a bit confusing. Then things like the promotion scene seemed like visions (when before it seemed like the surgery was the visions). Then none of the case stuff really happened???

I thought that having the healing guy help his brother make the decision and talk to eli was cool. And i liked the very ending. IT was just really complex. I loved the group musical number!

I'm up and on the phone with Pitney Bowes. Apparently the supplies are shipped separately and can take up to ten days - I told her that was unacceptable, as I'd told the woman who took the order everything had to be here by yesterday and I paid for expedited shipping. She's trying to get a tracking number to see what the real story is.

TOD:

CD - Cliff Richard, 4 CD set, many songs I had not heard him sing before

DVD - Elizabeth the Golden Age, Once (which I think DR JOSE and DR JMK discussed here last summer)

Let me know what you think of ELIZABETH THE GOLDEN AGE. I found it the absolute weakest version of the Mary, Queen of Scots story I've seen on film. Clive Owen's Walter Raleigh is dashing enough but not enough is done with him. A fair amount of the history seems off.

I just found the whole movie kind of disappointing.
