HALLELUJAH BABY-Talkin' to Yourself

Jennifer · « **Reply #61 on:** February 10, 2004, 08:02:08 AM »

Good morning everyone!

I was also totally horrified by DR Panni's story last night. But I think I was most horrified not by the laughing, but rather that anyone would actually accuse someone of a hit and run. I agree, you should have threatened to call the police. I am totally disgusted with those kids.

Btw, DR Panni, you truly have a way with words. Your description of giving the homeless man money was very moving.

Oh I don't know, DRLULU, I think fung shei is a concept even Norman Einstein would appreciate.

DR Danise: I'm curious, have you included exercise with your new diet? I was SO good with the exercising for about a week. And now I've stopped again this past week. I want to do pilates at least 3 times a week! Bad, bad girl!

We could meet in St. Louis!

Could we invite Margaret O'Brien?

For Noel: My fellow panelist Peter Schneiderman was president of Disney animation for seventeen years, from Little Mermaid until 1999. He's now an independent producer. Arthur Alan Seidelman, my other fellow panelist, is a director - he's done seven of the Reprise! shows out here in LA, as well as lots of TV. He had some show in NY this season, something with dance lessons in the title.

Oh, and MattH, someone posted the Star Wars news last night at http://dvds.allaccessworld.com - The DVD Place. I think we had the news before even some of those other hoity-toity sites we all know and don't love.

Good morning. Overused word which makes me angry: "Nazi." As in the "Nazi tactics of the parking authority or the CIA..." Usually used by right-minded well-meaning people to describe some sort of injustice. But, I'm sorry, they don't know what the HELL they're talking about. Nazis stomped on babies and threw people into ovens. That's my short rant for the morning.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #69 on:** February 10, 2004, 08:45:43 AM »

I agree DRPANNI - that is why I never liked HOGAN'S HEROES....the Nazis were NOT bumbling idiots or objects of fun...the whole premise of that show (and some of the performers in it) set me off...still does.

If anything comes of it, get a good aggressive attorney, pics of both cars, etc. Hopefully it won't go any further, but either way, it's a pain in the neck.

I'm pretty sure nothing will come of it. And what the punks (who were well-dressed punks) don't know is that I have a secret weapon. The script I'm working on at the moment - a true story about a homeless person, ironically - also has a female police officer as a main character. The real officer and I have become quite friendly and she's always saying to me, "If there's anything I can do for you, any help you need, just call..." In other words, I got connections, man.

I second Ben's motion for "Talking to Yourself," one of the most gorgeous ballads of the 60s, which had its share of gorgeous ballads.

The reponse to my Frances Farmer research has been overwhelming--you know you're on to something when a post to a Usenet group is met with respectful responses!! If anyone is affiliated with any classic film groups or classic actor/actresses group, please invite them to read it.

http://hometown.aol.com/jmkauffman/sheddinglight.html

There is a good chance now that this research will be reported by some northwest press outlets and be included in at least one of two upcoming books on Frances. Keep fingers and toes crossed.

BTW, I also hate the terms "arc" and "journey." They were bandied about by an Artistic Director who had optioned a certain show of mine which is about two characters whose whole "arc" is that they don't HAVE an arc--they are "stuck" between hope and the sad realities of their lives.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #73 on:** February 10, 2004, 08:56:29 AM »

What two upcoming books about Frances?

Panni · « **Reply #74 on:** February 10, 2004, 08:57:19 AM »

Enough writing for fun. Must get to work. While I was walking this morning I solved a script problem that's been puzzling me for two days and now I'll write the scene. BTW- Do other DRs find that they get good ideas, solutions to problems, etc. while doing some activity (showering, walking, sleeping) that has nothing to do with the problem at hand?

The word brilliant now, for me, seems to be on the same level as a standing ovation. Broadway shows routinely get standing ovations, deserving or not. People seem to think that if you don't stand you're being rude. Miss Stritch, in my humble opinion, was deserving of a standing ovation. The recent revival of Gypsy, as much as I enjoyed it, was not. But that's just my humble opinion.

It goes well beyond Broadway shows. It seems any performance of any sort is now instantly greeted with a standing ovation. I've become quite accustomed to being "the jerk who won't stand up."

Always DRPANNI...always. It's a rule and a function of the mind to continue to work on something even while it's thinking about something else. And the thought process is so unique, sometimes NOT thinking about something gives us the answer!

Kerry · « **Reply #77 on:** February 10, 2004, 09:02:17 AM »

Panni,

I get all my best ideas and meditation adn thoughts for the day while I'm in the shower. It's my safe place. Maybe it's the warm water and the whole going back to the womb thing-- I don't know. But I find the process exhilirating, relaxing and very productive. AND i get clean!

DR KERRY do you ever think so much you get wrinkled?

Have you found a Japanese back-walker yet? Studio City has everything. I think there's an all-night back-walking place next to the Gap.

Not to mention, a gap-walker out back.

I also get a lot of inspiration in the shower. Also whilst walking briskly and/or jogging. Whenever I was having problems on the Kritzer books I'd just jog or shower and they'd set themselves right in no time.

Speaking of Kritzer Time, should we have an approved galley in the next week, I will start taking preorders immediately, right here at haineshisway.com. It will be available here first, and won't show up at amazon for a few weeks thereafter.

Correction:

To my trivia question from yesterday--which no one has addressed, by the way.

I said that one of Captain Picard's singing lady friends had been recorded by BK. That, of course, is less than the truth. Actually, two of them have starred in musicals whose cast albums were recorded by BK--and one of the ladies had part of her role dubbed by BK himself, because, talented as she may be, she was unable to perform that particular bit, and BK was.

So, anyone have a guess on at least one of them? Or all three?

JMK · « **Reply #82 on:** February 10, 2004, 09:19:16 AM »

JR--the American Atheist writer is hoping to develop his upcoming article on FF into a full-length book. It will focus mostly on FF as a labor rights icon, as well as her supposed "atheism" (though I've repeatedly pointed out that "God Dies" was not an atheist screed, and she certainly was devoutly religious later in life).

The other book is still in development, but stay tuned!! Hainsies/Kimlets will be among the first to know!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #83 on:** February 10, 2004, 09:19:27 AM »

Jrand53 gets into the pre-order line forming now.

DAMMIT - DR JMK - and I let my subscription to
American Atheist expire.

Jed · « **Reply #84 on:** February 10, 2004, 09:25:01 AM »

WFO - I'd guess Donna Murphy for one of 'em.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #85 on:** February 10, 2004, 09:26:27 AM »

OMG DR WFO - I mentioned your question yesteday and said it was too hard! But I think I finally have the third one:

My guesses would be:

Amanda McBroom, Donna Murphy, and Bebe Neuwirth!

DR JED did you read the link about the Langley Schools Project?

bk · « **Reply #86 on:** February 10, 2004, 09:27:20 AM »

Donna would definitely be correct, since I dubbed here whistling in I Whistle a Happy Tune.

I should not have turned off the computer so early last night. The posts were very moving. I will comment later after I have read today’s notes. I need to dry my hair & leave for my monthly book discussion group, but first…

That's the only reason I was able to figure out even the one of 'em. I don't know from Star Trek.
