Last night i watched the BACHLORETTE for the first time in many years (i was with someone who really wanted to watch it).

I will say that it made me remember why i dislike the show so much.

It's all great that the couple is sooo happy. But it made me sick to watch what she did to the guy she did not take at the end.

Apparently this girl had been the one ditched last by a guy named brad. And she was so sad and vowed not to do this to anyone. Yet she did it. And had the nerve to say last night, "until watching it back i had no idea i realized i did the same thing to him that brad did to me!"

I hate watching someone say, "oh that was the romantic thing ever" and "i'm falling in love with you". and making out with the guy she will reject (the night before she gets engaged).

I really preferred the guy she rejected.  I just wish that when they edited the shows that they would edit it to make you feel the love story of the winner. And make you root for the winner. Instead they try to balance it and make most people end up being annoyed!

It's supposed to be hot and muggy today. I turned on the air conditioner last night. Global warming? I'd rather live in the snow than the heat. That's why I can't retire to Arizona or Florida (sorry Kerry, Laura and Lyn and Michael Shayne and Danise).

Ben I agree with you completely!   I'd much rather live in the snow than the heat.   I tried Arizona and it didn't agree with me. But I must admit it was better than having humidity. The other day I could barely breathe. That's just not acceptable

[Cillaliz]

Ok, here's to a better day. We've already been through the case list and have a to do list started. Time to start crossing them off.

Later

[Druxy]

Mr. Druxman is truly sorry that his actor couldn't do the reading.

Unfortunately, he got a PAYING job and he does need to eat.

He is, after all, rather skinny.

 

[Matt H.]

And the good news is that earlier today, I found my CD-R of the London cast recording of 1776!  I still have out my version of the laserdisc soundtrack.  Now, was it only Ben that wanted the London version and Matt H. that wanted the movie soundtrack?  Or is that correct?  Let me know...and soon!

No, DR George. You've already sent me the movie soundtrack (some years ago). I think it was DR Ron Pulliam who wanted the movie soundtrack.

[Matt H.]

Good morning!

Overcast but muggy warm this morning, so the central A/C never was turned off. It hasn't popped on much this morning, but it should have. I have felt a little sweaty all morning.

re: youtube

Does anyone here know why they would remove one specific poster's videos of THE Search For Elle Woods?

This person was the best poster.

Split it into 6 parts.

And now every video that poster ever uploaded is gone.

[Matt H.]

I love the Pastoral Symphony.

[Matt H.]

I just saw the UPS man carrying a box to my door which means Paramount is sending a DVD with some PR junk. I'll go down to see what it is momentarily.

[Matt H.]

Today I'll be catching up on a couple of things. I want to finish MY LIFE ON THE D-LIST that I started yesterday. (I have about 40 minutes to go but a lot of that is commercials). I recorded BONES last night since the episode is from this season, so I'll watch that while I cook and eat lunch.

And then, I'll be working on the Blu-ray of STEP UP 2 THE STREETS, another hip-hop dance movie similar to HOW SHE MOVE that I watched and wrote about some two months ago.

[Matt H.]

Nothing on TV for me tonight. NCIS is, once again, rerunning an episode from last season which I already have on DVD, so no need to watch/record it.

[Matt H.]

Sorry for all the problems with ALL MY SONS, DR JRand. I've been in shows where cast members stubbornly refused to learn their lines or write down their blocking, and it's always maddening for others in the cast who do.

My worst experience with this was several years ago with MY THREE ANGELS. A couple of those guys kept their scripts in the wings all through the run and would go over lines before they would walk out on stage. The dialog exchanges with me were always "approximations" of what was supposed to be in the script and sections were always skipped which I'd have to deal with. One of the most miserable experiences I've ever had on stage.

[Ginny]

Tuesday morning greetings!  Hot 'n' humid here in SW Ohio today.

First-day job vibes for DR JulieC40!

[Jennifer]

Tonight on tv for me:

Finale of HELL'S KITCHEN

CANADIAN IDOL

IN PLAIN SIGHT

[Ginny]

Oh, we simply must have one more J.R. to make it an even 200.

Was there some reason my post #410 yesterday was disqualified?

"John Roebling, designer of the Brooklyn Bridge (and its precursor the Roebling Suspension Bridge over the Ohio River in Cincinnati - the one in the opening credits of WKRP in Cincinnati)"

[Jennifer]

very odd.

re: BIG BROTHER 10. There is one 75 year old man!

All 20 somethings. 4 who are 30 something (mostly 30 or 31). One 53 year old woman who looks younger. And the old man.

Interesting combination!

One word: Copyright

Another word: Illegal

[JMK]

And the word of the day is: TROGLODYTE!

I had a custom-made baseball jersey that said:  Ubermensch--may be too intense for troglodytes.  I always loved that shirt.  

[Jennifer]

One word: Copyright

Another word: Illegal

It's illegal to post a reality show in parts?

Then why are there thousands of similar entries.

And all the other search for elle woods episodes are there.

just the best poster guy is no longer there.

it's not like he posted the full show.

plus actually there is no other way for people outside the US to watch.

i was just curious why all this person's videos disappeared.

[JMK]

TOD:  too many to choose, but two that spring instantly to mind are Prokofiev 5 and Vaughan Williams 4.

[Ron Pulliam]

And here it is: My beloved Sheriff John - John Rovick.  Readers of the Kritzer books will know exactly who I'm speaking of.

I happened to remember another "J.R." last night, but I offer it here and now:

Jane Robelot, former CBS anchor person.  She left CBS's morning show after she was diagnosed with Graves' disease.

Her brother Tommy was a classmate of mine in high school.  Tommy lives in Greenville SC with his family.  Jane went to Atlanta GA with her family, and then returned to Greenville a year after having surgery to repair her heart.  She is working again and doing TV reports at a local station.

No matter how it's argued, DR Jennifer, it was still illegal and copyrighted and someone took issue with it.

Many times, things appear on youtube, and elsewhere, and the owners of the copyright "don't" make an issue of it.  Sometimes, it's far too much trouble, or it's too costly.

Fact is, though, that there are tens of thousands of copyright violations on the internet at any given time...if that few.

So...if it disappeared, it means someone took serious issue with it.  In this case, it's probably because it involves music from a current show on Broadway, and the clips are from a current show on TV trying to find a future cast for the show.

Just because everybody else does this stuff doesn't make it right.

[JMK]

I actually managed to get all three of my Revue women over here last night for a run-through of at least some of the group numbers.  All I can say is, I am not going to be particularly sympathetic toward the guys when they start complaining (and you KNOW they're going to complain) about not knowing their music once we hit the stage.  We have a grand total of three rehearsals (one of which has to get the blocking and lighting cues down, oy) before we open.  They have had every opportunity to come over on numerous occasions, so c'est la vie.

[Matt H.]

Guess I'll head down now to check the mail and see about finding something for lunch.

WBBL.

Yes, DR Ginny...it was too erudite!

Last night's HOW DO YOU SOLVE A PROBLEM LIKE MARIA elimination was sort of interesting.

In the first few weeks the judges never really made their desires known. But this week they basically told the public how to vote. Now this can sometimes go wrong (a la American idol's simon). But this week the public did exactly what the judges told them to do.

They put the judges least favorites into the b3. So it was not that difficult for ALW's flunky to decide.

They are now down to 6 girls. And apparently next week they will lose another 2.

One very interesting development is during the sunday night show the vocal coach (and judge, elaine something) said some very harsh comments re: one of the girls.

This girl i'd say is in their top 4. She is a fantastic performer. HAs an incredible voice. But to me is not the traditional maria. Or anything near it. She is heavier than the others and has a very mature look to her face.

Anyhow on sunday's show the vocal coach/judge said that rehearsals counted just as much as performances. and that this girl (donna) was acting like a diva in rehearsals. And that she did not take notes well.

I wish they had shown us what they were talking about. Because coming out of context and out of the blue like that, i thought it was incredibly damaging.

The more interesting part is that on last night's show the host confronted both the girl and the judge. Crazy!

I did not know they were not allowed to post this on youtube.
I guess part of why it seemed odd is that there are the same clips from the same show still there by other posters.

Plus it is great publicity for the show.

I guess i'm not understanding why it's okay for some of the videos that are there. There are thousands of videos of tv shows on youtube. So do they only remove them if someone complains?

I actually thought the shows would love the publicity. And as long as they were not posted in their entirety i really thought it was allowed.

[singdaw]

...it was too erudite!

Does it show?

[Ron Pulliam]

Some clips on youtube are in public domain.  If you were to go to Amazon.com and look them up, you'd find multiple DVD versions of them being sold.

Sometimes the owner of the copyright on older material is not clearcut.  Even the true owner may not know he or she owns it.

A lot of stuff is available, I agree.  Much of it would probably be an "issue" if it were of high quality.  I think that's probably the line that gets drawn in many cases....stuff that is downloaded isn't from original sources, but off TV broadcasts and the quality is often quite bad.

[Ron Pulliam]

Does it show?

Stay clear of the subway grating and it will probably be okay.
