I didn't mention those wonderful three group numbers in SEVEN BRIDES: "The Barn Raisin'," "Lonesome Polecat," "Sobbin' Women."

There are just too many to hit them all.

For those of you who missed my post last night... Saw THE BARBARIAN INVASIONS, Denys Arcand's Best Foreign Film Oscar winner from Quebec. I highly recommend it. A movie about intelligent articulate ADULTS. Now when was the last time you saw something like that? Makes you actually use your mind as you watch. But it is also a very emotional film (those French-Canadians, eh?) about life and death and love and aging. And it's not tied up with a neat little ribbon at the end. Like life.

I LOVE the MGM musicals. Watching them on TV was one of the things that kept me sane as a child. In my imagination I was there, dancing with Gene and Fred and the seven brothers. They just took my breath away and transported me to a world that was filled with music and fabulous people who SANG and DANCED when they were happy or sad. That's where I wanted to live, in that world. So don't make me choose a favorite number!

Excellent lists.

Big noise has begun.

WFO: It would seem to me that if these cretins are withholding pain medicine and doctors and lawyers have apprised them that this is not a good or decent thing to do, I would absolutely instigate a HUGE civil action suit against them. They have no RIGHT to do that and they should be punished and made to pay. That's the sort of thing that you can get a really good lawyer to do pro-bono, because they could actually score a good deal of money, and they love to expose this kind of thing publicly. In fact, I'm sure 60 Minutes would love this story.

Here is a great opportunity for a new BK Musical:

In today's news:

UCLA Acknowledges Sale of Body Parts
Monday, March 08, 2004

LOS ANGELES — Officials at the University of California, Los Angeles (search), acknowledged Monday that parts of bodies donated for medical research there had instead been sold, and apologized for a failure in oversight.

Donors' families, meanwhile, filed a lawsuit against the school, claiming the director of the university's Willed Body Program (search) had been selling body parts illegally for years with the knowledge of other UCLA officials. UCLA has denied knowing about the sales.
The director, Henry Reid (search), was arrested along with another man accused of helping to sell the body parts.

UCLA officials admitted Monday that some body parts were sold to companies, but said they were only used for medical research. They promised to revamp the cadaver program.
…
Reid, 54, was arrested Saturday for investigation of grand theft for allegedly selling corpses and body parts for profit. He was released from jail after posting bail and has declined to comment.

Ernest V. Nelson, 46, was arrested for investigation of receiving stolen property. A UCLA statement said Nelson, who also was released on bail, was not a university employee.

Nelson claimed he acted as a middle man for six years, retrieving body parts from the medical school's freezer and selling them to research companies. He said Reid and other UCLA employees knew what he was doing.

"I call one of the most prestigious universities in the world, their director gives me the protocol, I follow that protocol and they charge me with receiving stolen body parts?" Nelson told the Los Angeles Times for Monday's editions.

He added that he collected the body parts by simply walking into the UCLA Medical Center twice a week with a saw and taking them. Over the years, he said, he cut up approximately 800 cadavers and sold parts to as many as 100 clients.

"If I wasn't supposed to be there, why couldn't they tell me that?" Nelson asked.

Louis Marlin, a lawyer for UCLA, denied that the university knew that the donated bodies were being cut up and sold to others. He said Nelson paid for the parts he took with cashier's checks made out to Reid.
…
Marlin said Nelson himself brought the situation to light when he filed a claim against the university for $241,000 for body parts he said he paid for and was then ordered to return.

We could have a HHW contest for the best title.
I offer:

Panni and Pogue, and der Brucer and Jenny
We've got S. Woody and Swishy and Penny
William E. Lurie, WEL sometimes he boasts
Still everybody makes excellent posts

elmoore, and Laura and Laura the sequel,
We've got the posters and no one's their equal
We've got Craig Brockman, let's give him a toast
Maybe we won't until he starts to post

We've got Jane posts
We've got Ann posts
We've got posts galore
And just when I think we will hit a new low
Then somebody posts some more

MattH and Noel and Dan-in-Toronto
Tom who's in Oz land, let's get him here pronto
Double U Eff Oh, and Ar El P, too
Newbies and lurkers and no, we're not through

Ben and Danise , JMK and dear Jrand
Kerry and George, and let's not forget Jay, and
MusicGuy even though he's been a ghost
Errant and truant, not making a post

Where is Jason? Where's Andrea?
Tell me where they roam
And if I've forgotten your name, please forgive
Let's post till the cows come home!

Paul Winfield will be sorely missed.

The Internet Movie Database had his birthday listed as 1941, which would have made him 62.

He played a recurring role on "Touched By An Angel" as "Sam."

He was also the narrator for the wonderful A&E "City Confidential."
