Looks to be yet another day off. No mail has arrived via UPS (Criterion is the only account I have that ships via USPS, and I've gotten their releases for the month already).

When picking VERONICA MARS out from the stack of DVDs piled up on my counter, I noticed a couple of other DVDs I had forgotten I had bought, so at least one of those will definitely be watched at some time today: THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY.

We made it through our first invited dress last night mostly intact.  A couple of scene change issues, and Max somehow got lost at intermission and we had to wait for quite a while to start Act II.  The pit monitor mix was fantastic in Act I and then went to hell in Act II--how does stuff like that happen?

In the continuing Saga of the Brain-Dead Trumpeter, it turns out the sound board operator, who had left right after him two nights ago, had found the score in the middle of the road, picked it up and took it home, BUT DIDN'T PHONE ANYONE.  So I spent a good 45 minutes that night looking around, and the theater's managing producer and executive president spent another TWO HOURS walking up and down the highway the next day looking for it.  Can you believe the all around idiocy?

I had to have the "stern Fatherly" talk with the trumpeter--I am not pleased that he had had the score, pre-records and detailed emails going over cuts, etc., for 2 weeks and had obviously not even looked/listened at/to any of them.  He got very defensive and said no one could have sight read better than he did.  Of course I responded that he shouldn't have been sight reading at that point.  I spent an hour last night making a "safety" copy of the trumpet book, which is what I'll give to him.  He better get his sorry little butt over here this morning and get it and spend all day practicing, because it's already been decided if he isn't up to speed for tonight's invited audience dress, he's out.

BK, I assume if I pre-order TOPKAPI, I can also do SHOW GIRL and get combined shipping.

I have been gone so much lately--any spare copies of COPS AND ROBBERS lying about you might be willing to sell?

TOD:  One of my favorite movies about the sea is "FANNY"-- even though it's not about the sea at all.  And yet, the photography and Harold Rome's score make the sea one of the most dominant characters in the film.

TOD-- others from strictly a visual sense would include "Cannery Row" and "Summer Place" filmed in roughly the same areas.  I sort of have a list of films that I watch in the summer here in the desert and long for the waves.

BK

Was the Blu Ray of The Deep also have the extended version of the film? (An addiitional 50+ minutes) or were these scenes bonus footage?

Also there was a video version that was R rated instead of the original PG and was 2 minutes longer

The big publicity for that movie, as I recall, was Jacqueline Bisset in a wet T=shirt or something--right?  Perhapos they showed 2 minutes more of her in the longer version.

Another play for DR Michael Shayne's list:

MARVIN'S ROOM

Marvin(I beleve) is in the Play

My memory of the play is that he is talked about and never seen. I haven't seen the film version but, knowing Hollywood, I would suspect there's a scene by his deathbed.

DR Laura the kittens are so cute, and the names of my little brood all seem to fit them.   

It is a good thing for you they have a definite departure date, I’ll have to look into that.  Maybe then Keith will agree to foster a litter & we can give it a try. 

Have  you had a Tortie before?  They are notorious for not liking to be held or cuddled,  In fact the only one I know that did enjoy petting it was found at 4 weeks old & received extra handling.  How is little Antonia with it?   We took Bosco home at 5 weeks old and she never did take to it, unless we were at the vet.  Initially I had to carry her around in a little basket.

I am down at Toyland. When I got to my copyist's I met one of the major entrepreneurs of the mittel-European gay porn industry, who is in town with his latest "star," a blond Czech boy named Luke. My copyist had designed his website.

In the productions I saw (Off-Broadway & Montreal) There is an actor playing Marvin. Although he is in another room and you don't really see him. I think you see his shadow. You also hear him

Thank you DR ArnoldMBrockman, Michael S., Jose, DAW, FJL, JRand, & DantMan.

I should correct the location of Keith’s injury.  It is on the lower outside of his right foot not his ankle.  It is still swollen & turning black and blue.  He said it didn’t crack, it popped 3 times.   No wonder he was hopping up & down so much when it happened.

So the idiot says he is going to the gym, but not to worry he won’t use the cross trainer only a bicycle.  .  He just iced it and has been keeping his foot elevated on his desk most of the morning.  Last night I pulled out some ace bandages, which he did not like at all.  I then gave him an old foot boot of mine I used for a hair line fracture of my ankle, which also finally healed an old injury of a severely sprained ankle.  He likes this, even wore it all night.  It has three velcrov straps to adjust the tension.

Off to convince Keith not to go to the gym.

DR JRand58 - hows about you get a cheap styrofoam barbershop hat, cut a slice out of the brim, round the topside with paper mache, and then spraypaint the whole thing gold?

Yes, I always hold back about thirty copies of everything for emergencies, so you can get all three - just include the one shipping charge.  If you want to do it through the site itself, just order Show Girl x 3 and then in the message box make certain to put the other two titles.

I'm up, later than expected, because despite the noise I just laid in bed and slept sporadically.  I'm now a little behind and must try to do the jog by ten-thirty.

Thanks, Bruce--will do in a moment.

Well, BDT (that's Brain Dead Trumpeter in internet lingo) is on his way over here to pick up his score and maybe FINALLY LOOK AT IT.  Oy.

Great blurbs, Bruce.  Truth be told, if I like an author or am familiar with the title of a book, I never read the blurbs.  When I am unfamiliar with a title or author, I usually read just enough of a blurb or the notes on a dust jacket to see if I am at all interested.  Same with previews of movies, I guess.  I like being surprised.  (EXCEPT IN REAL LIFE!!!)

Topic of the Day:  in the mid-1990s, I read this novel about a ship of gay pirates (set in the 1700s or so) and their "adventures" ;) but I don't remember the name of it.
Could it have been:

FORTUNES OF WAR

Product Description:

In 1588 a young mercenary and the son of an English earl meet by a quirk of fate. Dermot Channon is a soldier, while Robin Armagh has been sheltered on his father's estate. Love blossoms fast while war looms on the horizon. Under the thundercloud of armed conflict, Channon leaves England and the Spanish Armada sails soon after. Robin despairs of seeing him again, for their countries are locked in an endless struggle. Years fly by, and in 1595, when Robin's brother is taken for ransom in Panama, the dangerous duty of delivering the price of his life and liberty falls to Robin. He sails with the historical '1595 Fleet,' commanded by Francis Drake, hoping to bring home his brother. But Fortune has other plans for Robin and Channon. Ahead of them is a an epic adventure in hazardous waters where old enmities, Spanish and English, shape their future together -- and try to drive them apart.
