BK, I try not to read others' reviews before I write my own. I read MattH's this morning--I think Matt probably likes the film more than I do, but we more or less agree on the transfer, if that was the gist of your question last night.

Matt H. · « **Reply #61 on:** April 08, 2009, 07:41:57 AM »

I agree with you completely, DR Ben, about HAIR. I saw a national tour of the show in the mid-80s AFTER I had seen the movie, and for once the movie got the best things from the stage show and increased their effectveness with stunning, haunting visuals.

The stage show seems scattershot and unsatisfying; the movie deeply affecting.

For the first time in years, we are going to someone else's house for the Seder tonight. Of course, Betsy and I were joking about being home in time for LOST. I asked her, "What's more important--the freedom of the Jews, or Jack and Kate? I think it might be Jack and Kate!!"

Good morning!

Another beautiful but chilly day here. It did barely scrape up to 50 yesterday and is supposed to be mid-50s today.

My LP copy of ON THE FLIP SIDE arrived today.

....the ridiculous audience response.

Oh heck, if you can put up with it on HHW, you can put up with it on Idol...

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And my "ride" will be arriving in about 20 minutes to pick me up and bring me to the theatre. -And, hopefully, stop at a Starbucks on the way.

Since most of us are of a certain age...I will ask:

What is your favorite TELEVISION musical (not episode, but one off) that you remember?

I remember an Armstrong Carpet version of KISS ME KATE with Robert Goulet and Carol Lawrence....it was very funny....and colorful! Although I didn't realize it then, they cut most of Bianca/Lois' part.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #69 on:** April 08, 2009, 07:47:55 AM »

LOL DR DAW....the audience response here is much more sophisticated.

As for Adam Lambert's performance last night - which I have yet to see - actually, I haven't seen any "Idol" clips for the past two weeks. Ah, well. In any case...

I just read that since the show went so far over last night, they posted the full clip on Idol's own website.

Matt H. · « **Reply #72 on:** April 08, 2009, 07:48:12 AM »

I tried to watch Adam's performance at YouTube this morning, and once again got that weird Adobe Flash Player message saying I needed to upgrade my player to version 10. (I think I had version 8.) Anyway, I did that and shut down the computer. I'll reboot this afternoon and see if I can watch it.

The problem with the show running over is that there are four judges now, and they're all talking LONGER than ever after each performance.

BTW, I went to the IDOL website thinking I could watch it there, and all they have there is a compendium of the JUDGES' comments! What a joke!

DR JOSE don't trust that man who told you your car was safe to drive.

With the problem you noted - your steering wheel would suddenly become completely useless while you car drove where it wanted....DO NOT DRIVE THAT CAR UNTIL IT IS FIXED.

It would not surprise me to learn it is a Pontiac of some kind.

for DR JoseSPiano!!!

Well, thankfully(?), since I have to get a lot of pre-tech work done, not having a car is a good thing in a way. However, if I can't make it down to FIG on Friday evening for my post-first-tech meal and glass of wine, well...

*And, apparently, FIG does(?) a full absinthe service. Hmmm....

Jrand73 · « **Reply #78 on:** April 08, 2009, 07:50:17 AM »

Good choice.....but I remember that was in B/W and we loved our COLOR!!!!

SPOO! Just checked the link myself... I didn't realize Ryan Seacrest - or one of his assistants - posted it on Ryan Seacrest's blog/site. -And it's an embedded YouTube clip.

It's a Mazda.

And, yes, I felt much better - and safer(!) - when the director suggested that we go ahead and drop the car off last night instead of me driving home.
