I had a nice evening of viewing.

I began with THE BETRAYED. A not bad little thriller, and Melissa George was well cast and did nicely in her role. I won't be reviewing this screener. It is not the finished product that will be offered for sale (Fox banners popping up at inopportune times), but it had a fair share of thrills and surprises.

Page Seven Dance!!!

Jose - I only link, I don't interpret.  I hope the resolution is the correct one for both of you.

[Matt H.]

Next I watched another episode of NCIS from the season five set. In this one a brain on Ducky's autopsy table starts dripping mercury, so it leads to a murder investigation.

This is the type of one-of-a-kind photograph I'd love to see more of.

Thanks, DR MattH.  I'm planning on heading back there this weekend - the costumes are only on display through Sunday. I want to get back in there when the sun is out and the light is better, so that I can take some clearer pictures.

[Matt H.]

Next, from the Blu-ray stack of unwatched films I selected BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN. It looks gorgeous in high definition. I was hoping the DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track would be a little more enveloping than it was, but otherwise, I have no complaints, and it's a definite step up from the regular DVD of the movie.

Jose - I only link, I don't interpret.  I hope the resolution is the correct one for both of you.

Fred - I'm breathing much easier now, and thinking much clearer now.

It's the kind of display that's routinely available to NYCers, but those of us elsewhere can only catch things like this when we come visiting.

G'night!

[Matt H.]

I ended my evening watching one of the bonus featurettes on the disc that wasn't on the original DVD release of the movie. (About the film's impact after its release.)

[JoseSPiano]

Is it too late for a Time-Warner Center/Columbus Circle Page Dance???

[Matt H.]

TOmorrow I'll be starting the next TV box set for review: THE CLEANER. There are only a dozen or so episodes, so again, I should be able to knock it out in a couple of days. And it's exciting watching something I've never seen even a second of before.

[Matt H.]

I got the rest of Criterion's June releases in a big box of discs today. SOme wonderful items coming next month. I've seen them all before except for a documentary on Ingmar Bergman.

The two exhibits are only display for a week.  And they're part of a tourism campaign for Tuscany.

Yes, but very likely another equally wonderful exhibit will follow once this one is gone.

Did someone say tiramisu?

Does Skip make tiramisu?

I continued my walk up Broadway until I got the Time-Warner Center... Where I saw this:

Interesting that they do not credit Danilo Donati with the custome design that he won the Academy Award for. It makes it sound as if Franco Zefferilli won the Oscar

[Michael]

For those Kimlets and Hainsers who will be in Los Angeles to see the world premiere of The First Nudie Musical will there be any get-togethers prior to the readings?

[Matt H.]

It's a little earlier than usual, but I think I'll head off to the bedroom and get to bed a little earlier tonight.

Good night!

Just kidding I want to see how many people actually read this posting

[JoseSPiano]

DR Michael S - We read.  We all read.

I was not able to fit Danilo Donati's Costume Credit in the picture.

O!M!G!

Here he is girls!

Here's a three-year old boy singing "Rose's Turn" from Gypsy - the Patti Lupone Gypsy!

I hope we can have some sort of get-together for those coming in to see Nudie.  Besides Shayne, exactly who IS coming in?

[Cillaliz]

Each time I got dragged kicking and screaming to CATS on B'way, I anticipated the show pretty much the same way that DR Ben feels about it.  But each time I cam away completely entranced, having surrendered to the atmosphere of the show as a whole.

However, about two or three years ago I saw a touring company in Philly.  It turned out to be the non-equity, cut-rate version of the show.  Awful wasn't the word!  Aside from the cheap-o looking set and the shaggy costumes, the cast was primarily composed of posers who never danced a lick but just pranced across the stage and behaved in kitty-cat manners.  Meh!  and Feh!

What's kind of interesting about the current non-Union tour - which has been on the road for a number of years already - is that the main supervisors, musically and choreographically, are from the original Broadway company.

And what's scary about the non-Union tour is that some of those "Cats" on stage weren't born until Cats was well into it's then-record-breaking run.

And, yes, the current set - for better or worse - is inflatable.

I'm sure that's the tour coming here next season.  I was really surprised they are bringing it back again, but they supposedly had Movin Out booked but it cancelled the tour.  We can opt out of a  show in our season...I opted out of CATS

[Cillaliz]

Yes.  And California won't be able to count on any further money from the gay wedding industry.

Iowa City is planning on that.  I hear there are many plans in the works to promote it

[Cillaliz]

Whew! Sounds like several of us have had very long days/  This week has been insanely busy and today was no exception.  I had court in the AM and court in the PM and had to get some things ready to be express mailed to immigration court so they arrive by Monday. 

I had several irritating interruptions today and got really tired of being asked stupid questions.  A woman called three times to see if I would take her son's possession of marijuana case.  I told her no twice because I have too many cases and am not taking new clients...why on earth would she call the third time?  I just don't get people like that.
