So...

I'm currently watching "West Side Story" on Channel 13, WNET, and I'm wondering...

Were the gangs back in the late 50s, early 60s always that well-dressed, well-tailored, well-coiffed and well-choreographed?

;)

You're not going to ask about their ability to sing while dancing and in perfect harmony, too?

I ate lunch while watching the rest of SCROOGE. The score is so splendid that I find myself enjoying it more every time I watch this movie. And, unlike the WHITE CHRISTMAS transfer, this one looks really good upconverted.

I had a little less than two hours left of the afternoon so I watched TOMORROW NEVER DIES. I hadn't watched this upconverted on my "new" TV (which is now 15 months old), and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing it again.

I remember seeing this in the theater and was SO disappointed by the soft picture and very washed out color. Not so the DVD which is sharp with excellent color saturation. One of the reasons I no longer enjoy going to the theater much is that we don't have excellent cinemas here. It's really a roll of the dice not only with projection and sound but also with the prints they send our way. Oftentimes, the prints of even new films look as if they've already been running for months.

After I finish the remainder of my Sunday chores when I go back down (cleaning my bathroom and putting away the folded laundry), I'll fire up THE DARK KNIGHT. I'm really looking forward to finally seeing it.

I also have the DVR set to record that TCM documentary on Disney's live action films, the DEXTER season finale, and P.S. I LOVE YOU on HBO-HD so I can see the whole thing. All of this while I'm watching THE DARK KNIGHT.

Good morning.  What a night!  I slept very little, and spent a lot of time trying to find a workable sleeping position for a miserably stuffy little baby.  At 5:30 we gave up, got up, and came down to the recliner.  Both of us have slept a bit more, but not much.  I am now gulping coffee and researching humidifiers to buy for our bedroom.  DH Jed hates the idea of one, since he hates humidity, but we're out of other options to help Toby get over this stuffy nose.  The cold outside is making it worse, I'm sure.  We have a light dusting of snow outside, and the temp is barely reaching 30.  But, after reading Cilla's post, I don't feel like I have any right to complain!  :D

Complain away... This is what winter is on the plains. You just stay inside and tell everyone how cold it is outside.

Hello,everyone.
I don't know where the time goes. I've been busy all day. The laundry is done, as is the computer work I needed to do. But I've not even started on the basement yet. Sigh.
Boy Jeanne, wish I had YOUR energy today....I've just been sitting

I've been scanning quickly today & missed we have a new member.  I went to the member list & looked up the posts for today.  HOW COULD I HAVE MISSED THESE! ;D ::)

No wonder you suggested this person & all the posts be deleted!!

Good morning, all! I am packed and rarin' to go. In about 2 hours, I'll call my car service and head out to LaGuardia. Keep them vibes coming!

The PETER PAN publicity really irks me for several reasons, some personal and some scholastic, but when I was working on 1600 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE for the Bernstein estate in the late 1980s, I wanted to edit a new edition of the PETER PAN music but I was told no one would ever be interested in it. Given what Alexander Frey recorded, I think I would have done a better editorial and scholastic job. Much as I like a lot of his recording (not, however, the Captain Hook!), I find its notes vague and an insult to musicology. As to the wonderful "Dream With Me," he records an inflated version of the song created for the Chelsea review BY BERNSTEIN from the 1970s, later scored for full orchestra by Sid Ramin, and passes it off as the song from the original production. The version BK recorded is exactly what exists on the original manuscript, not an expanded concert piece, which is all wrong for the songs written for PETER PAN.

Now I've vented, once again, on my wrongs by the Bernstein office. Come back, Charlie Harmon! They need you.

DR DearReaderLaura, welcome back! I've missed you and your photos. I'm glad your sister is doing better.

Which verison did Ben Bagley use when he recorded it for his Bernstein Revisited (Coupled by Another Love) Sung by Jo Loesser

Also Kim Criswell & Tomoko Shibata also recorded it

Cilla,

You floor exploits remind me of my first major home re-modeling effort.

We had purchased an old house in Norfold Va and the door to butler's pantry was missing its frame. I bought the proper lumber, a miter saw box, etc. measured three times and cut once. I made what I would consider a near-perfect door frame.

Then I discovered the ugly truth - no way was that door way square!

So I had a perfect frame surrounding a crooked dooway and it looked like something from a fun house!

der Brucer

Wait until you try and tile an un-square floor!

Switching from IMAX to the standard size.
I had to point out to the other people who were watching when it happened.
