I just have to share this:

If you are a FOLLIES fan. Here is rare footage of Gene Nelson singing and dancing The Right Girl. It also gives you a look at Michael Bennett's choreography. I just wish the film quality was better. it looks many generations duped down

And Alexis Smith doing the Story of Lucy and Jessie. The music isn't completely synch correctly as there is a jump in the footage. But you still get the idea.

Good Evening!

Rehearsal went well. It was mainly a blocking and choreography rehearsal. And tomorrow's all-day rehearsal will also concentrate on choreography. -I get my "vocal clean up" rehearsals next week.

In any case...

I am feeling much better than I did earlier. I'm no longer running a fever, but I do have a headache, so I think I'm going to start winding down now and get ready for a (hopefully) good night's sleep. Tomorrow is going to be a long day. So...

Goodnight.

Shayne - Illya is 19.98 plus 3.75 shipping. I'll probably open Seesaw for preorder early next week as I think we'll officially announce a week from Monday or Tuesday.

Last night I watched a movie on dvd. I was very surprised to find that Guy Haines was mentioned in the movie. I watched Daniel Craig in QUANTUM OF SOLACE, which I sorta enjoyed. The new Bond franchise is still finding its footing, but, I think things will improve dramatically with the next film.

I watched this last night and mentioned both Guy Haines and the film's rather dour tone not sitting well with me. The action stuff was all impressive but too much of it and not enough development in other areas like characterization and even lightness on occasion. Too much vengeance with no letup can get rather oppressive.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #281 on:** March 27, 2009, 09:11:41 PM »

Thanks Laura. I just had a long hot bath and feel a little better. I'm hoping that this will all be over by tomorrow.

Have you heard any more from Dakota?

Matt H. · « **Reply #282 on:** March 27, 2009, 09:15:36 PM »

My plans for the evening were to watch the Blu-ray of GOLDFINGER and then settle in with the women's short program at the world championships followed by DOLLHOUSE.

About 20 minutes into GOLDFINGER, there's a knock at the front door, and the UPS man is bringing me my first review discs in three weeks: the Blu-rays of BEDTIME STORIES, DOUBT, and NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN (a new special edition).

Matt H. · « **Reply #283 on:** March 27, 2009, 09:18:52 PM »

So, since I had started GOLDFINGER, I finished watching it. The Blu-ray looks splendid with gorgeous color and sharpness. The repurposed DTS-HD MA sound is about as good as it can be being taken from the original mono tracks.

Forever and always my favorite James Bond movie.

Matt H. · « **Reply #284 on:** March 27, 2009, 09:20:35 PM »

Then, I put in BEDTIME STORIES. It's a cute family film. Yes, it has a bit of the usual Adam Sandler crudeness (snot, fart, and ass jokes), but they're kept to a minimum, and some of the fantasies were really fun, especially when aspects of them start to come true in his real life. Always a nice little twist on how those outrageous fanasies can have a real-life component.

What surprised me, though, was the skimpy set of extras with the movie. Of course, because the bonus features were so slim, I was able to do the entire film in only part of the evening tonight, but I was really expecting a more feature-rich package.

Sam · « **Reply #287 on:** March 27, 2009, 09:21:58 PM »

Just stopping by for a couple of minutes to say hello.

Have not read the notes or posts yet, am completely exhausted from work today.

Remember to tell her about Baden Powell, Afro-Sambas, and spaghetti. Thank you.

I'm trying to read the notes but can't seem to focus on the screen.
Getting off work on Friday's should be fun, the weekend to look forward to, staying up all night and into the morning.

I have officially gone Blu-Ray. Found an irresistible deal on a Panasonic player, which with taxes came to just over $200. So, I also have two, count-em, two Blu-Ray discs: HOW THE WEST WAS WON and THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD.

Laura · « **Reply #293 on:** March 27, 2009, 09:50:43 PM »

Congratulations on your stimulating the economy, td. It's the patriotic thing to do.

They are two of the greatest looking, too. Wise choices to be sure.

And just wait until you see some animation in Blu-ray. It is SO stunning!

Well, it's VERY late for me, so I'm heading downstairs now to go to bed.

Good night!

WALL-E will be coming soon, and the rest of the Disneys shall follow.

Went to my designer's and we did the Seesaw cover, which is basically the LP cover spruced up just a wee bit. Since I have the conductor scores, we copied a few of them for use in the booklet, which I think will be fun. He'll leave room for some photos (I have a lobby card set on its way) and he'll put the film's original poster art on the back somewhere - it's more colorful than the simple LP cover, but I wanted to be accurate to the LP release on the cover.

Then finished the motion picture I was watching - I think some of you really liked it but I thought it was absolutely dreadful - Vicky Christina Barcelona.
