I didn't post the first post on the new page, Tom...I had no claim to the page dance.

Sucking on a Coldeez and sipping some hot EmergenC. Sippin' and Suckin' - isn't that a Bacharach and David song?

Huggin' and Chalkin' is a Johnny Mercer song...

Don't know much about Mercer - too bad there's no decent documentary.

BK, it's possible that this person has actually read the message. When one sends a PM, an e-mail with the message is also sent to the recipient if said recipient has his or her e-mail address in his or her profile. So one does not have to actually log into HHW to read the PMs.

I don't, other people do. It must be how it is set up. I guess Keith fixed it so I could. Good thing too or I would miss at least half of my PMs.

If I read a post saying I wasn't returning, though the thought never entered my mind, I might not return after reading said statement.

It didn't snow last night. All we got was lots of wind. I can still see the trees blowing & bet it is cold out there. Cold & windy or not, I need to go for a walk.

I feel like doing nothing but snuggling up on the couch with Cat Freddy and watching movies....right now I have SOUTH PACIFIC in the dvd player. I have not seen this film all the way through since I was a kid. It was never a favorite of mine. I always preferred musicals that took place in the city, rather then in the jungles...but this film does have it good points, and I image that Josh Logan had a lot of fun casting it

Still, Ray Walston makes my skin crawl every time he is in a scene.

This DVD is not anamorphic. There must be a newer release that is.

Mike: A splendid 2-disc edition was issued in October 2007...it has the cut version of the film, which is what I presume you are watching (it was cut shortly after its roadshow premier to facilitate more showings each day) and the "roadshow" version. Some of the footage restored to the roadshow version was not color-corrected and can be a bit disconcerting at first, but it's a far superior experience than the version we had been getting all those years before. And Walston's performance is more fully palatable in this longer version....in the cut version he's all ham...over-the-top in all respects. In the roadshow version he seems like a wholly different character.

I am up; it is freezing, and I had to take Sugar out to do her thing. Lovely having her here, but I'll admit, the days when I cold just open the door and let her out loose in her own big fenced yard were easier on cold mornings. She is cutely curled on the couch now. And yes, walking 20 miles in the snow so she can pee is worth it. Thank God we live in the desert!

Freezing! Oh, Mary, get off my dress

You're from Arizona. Freezing to you is 65 degrees

It was no more than 52 degrees, but i think it was actually officially 47 degrees at the time.

You know I was kidding, right? I'll give you 47. You can't just run out with the dog in sweatpants and a t-shirt. Even if she just stands on the porch and pees.

Good Afternoon!

Still on Page Three? Is this a slow news day here on HHW? I guess that whirring noise I've been hearing in the background must be the Bitch-Slapping Machine warming up.

I went over to Staples and printed out a copy of Nudie Musical just to proof and make sure everything's right - already found a couple of errors, so glad I did.

Recording Session #1 of 3 today went very well. It was just me, the Actor/Singer and the recording engineer. I was just asked to supervise the vocal sessions since the instrumental tracks were already recorded. The engineer was very "smart" and started recording the "scratch vocal" during the first run-through. After that we just had to punch in a few spots and we recorded some alternate takes too for some sections. We ended up finishing ten minutes early which gave the actor plenty of time to rest up before his matinée. *Which was doubly good since his show opens this week, and they're in the middle of press performances.

DR Michael S - Post-mortem criticisms should be reserved for those who actually worked with and knew the deceased. To point out someone's "failures" which, in this case, are just your opinions, is just simply crass - especially since there has yet to be an official pronouncement of his death. A shared handshake does not make one a friend or even an acquaintance.

Regardless of what sort of personal "dirt" you may have heard from another source or two, someone's passing should still require a degree of respect and reserve for not only the deceased but also the deceased's family, friends and "inner circle".

No one is perfect.

MBarnum · « **Reply #84 on:** February 15, 2009, 11:57:27 AM »

So far the only thing about SOUTH PACIFIC I like are the brief glimpses of Ken Clark and some guy who somebody on IMDB has confused with Ed Fury, and watching Mr. Brazzi, who I would marry in a minute.

After an hour I went and tried to nap, but never fell asleep. Now I just can't bring myself to wander to the couch to watch more.

I think I will shower and take Bosco for a walk instead.

Here's the deal: I'm not the villain in this piece. Period. The End. I am merely pointing out that this person is obviously not going to return - it's too bad, was my point. And let me be clear - it's not that fact that this person doesn't care for some of my work (even though this person is offering an opinion not actually having first hand knowledge of it for the last four years, at least), no, the bothersome stuff was the sort of personal quality of it - again, I'm not going to go into details but you Jane, especially, should know that this sort of thing has to be pretty bad for me to be bothered by it. Again, I didn't castigate in my PM to the person, and I just find it weird that this person won't even read it. I like the person and have been nothing but kind and supportive from the day the person arrived to the time the person chose to send the PM. It's that simple. And the world goes round.

The thought of seeing even more of Ray Walston on the roadshow version is making me sort of queasy.

Hmmm...but is there more Ken Clark in that version (his singing voice supplied by Tony the Tiger, BTW).

I also am liking Floyd Simmons as Cmdr. Harbison. If he hadn't passed away last year I would by trying to interview him.

I shall have to toddle off to rehearsal shortly - one problem is that the rehearsal room is about twelve degrees and there's no heat other than this tiny little portable thing that sits on the floor. I think I'm going to get some chicken soup after Cason stops by at four-thirty.

I'm currently sitting outside in Worldwide Plaza - home of New World (formerly Dodger) stages. It's a little chilly, but the sun is keeping me warm. I have another three or four hours coming up spent in a window-less studio, so I'm getting my Vitamin E while I can.

Yes, I'm incredibly stupid, take two: How could Frank Sinatra sing something uncredited in a film that hadn't been released yet?

Sinatra sang -- with no screen credit -- the title song to "Three Coins in the Fountain" over the film's main titles.

I see, said the blind man--I thought you were talking about LIAMST, which is why I was confused. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
