I must hop off-line now and write up today's work project. Then it'll be back downstairs for an evening of pleasure viewing.

There's one theme in this score that is catchy and it alone is reason enough to do the score.

I just booked a hotel for my stay - the Times Square Comfort Inn on 39 and 8. Has anyone stayed there. It seems like the rooms are on the small side, but it's a King bed and free wireless - but if it's too small, then I'll reconsider. Let me know - it's easy to cancel and rebook at the Wyndham Gardens, or if anyone here has other suggestions, let me know. I'm not paying for it, so I'm trying to keep under 200 a night.

I believe Boring Morass was an actor much like Peter Lorre - he may have been the first choice to play Sebastian in THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH. Or maybe his is Hot House exclusive XXX video star, I can't remember.

LOL! Jack, you are such a scamp!

I have nothing to say, except that I now have shiny new spark plugs.

Maybe Carol Channing can work your shiny spark plugs into her act!

BK - Richard and I have stayed many times at the Comfort Inn-Midtown on 46th between 6th and 7th and have been quite comfortable. If you ask for a room that faces 46th, they're bigger that the others.

Good Evening!

Just taking a breather in Starbucks. I had a coupon for a free Vivano, and I also needed to plug in and charge up my iPhone for a bit.

It really has been a wonderful day, and the weather has been glorious. So glorious that I really don't feel like heading home yet. It's just too nice outside. So, a-wandering I shall go.

As for Michael Emerson - I believe he has a place here in NYC in Hell's Kitchen. I see him regularly walking on 8th and 9th Avenues.

I don't have PAN'S LABYRINTH on Blu-ray, but I did watch it on HBO-HD when it was first broadcast, and I found the violence shocking and off-putting. Part of that was likely my own fault for not knowing more about the film before watching it. Knowing it was a fantasy, I had no idea that violent politics was going to play such a heavy part in the story.

I agree with you. They never played up the violent aspects of the story, but rather the fantasy aspect of the story. In my humble opinion the violence was also off putting to Academy voters and that is why it lost to The Lives of Others when most pundits chose Pan.

I saw both and thought The Lives of Others was the better film

Here's the YouTube link to "AT THE CHUPPAH (CHUPPAH/CABANA)" - it's the parody of the Manilow/ Feldman/ Sussman COPACABANA musical and song, but with a Jewish same-sex wedding twist.

(The parody words, including - inspired by Laura saying she didn't know all the Jewish words - a few Jewish-English translations if needed, are in the "more info" section at the right of the YouTube screen.)

Thanks, JMK, for your thoughts and comments, as I consider you an expert on stuff Hebraic, parodies and otherwise.

That was great. My DH shot some puzzled looks over here when I played it.

DR MBarnum! Come back from under your rock! My cousin is in Salem right now for a brief vacation!

I don't see the Kevin Spacey inspiration either in Michael Emerson's Ben. . .he did a lot, and I mean alot of NYC theater work before ICEMAN. . .I've been reading through ancient Theater Weeks and In Theater and Emerson was quite the busy little bee. Maybe Emerson inspired Spacey.

DVD:
I went back last night and revisited the "Nikki and Paolo" episode of LOST from Season Three. Maybe it's because they changed a lot of the mythology of the show to incorporate the characters (Paolo finds the hatch, Nikki and Paolo find the plane) that I still don't find it quite as enjoyable as other posters here. I started listening to the commentary on a second viewing, and it's quite self-congratulatory -"weren't we so clever to fit them in here?" that I turned it off and went to bed. . .

I went to a matinee of Julie & Julia today. I loved it, too! It's kind of refreshing to go to a movie where married couples really love each other and are happy together. What a change and a delight.

Good Afternoon!

I LOVED "Julie & Julia". And, yes, I cried. A couple of times. The Food was amazing, but the Love Stories were even better. And since a good chunk of it was set in NYC, I loved seeing some very familiar sights. Bur what really made me tear up was seeing some dear friends and colleagues on screen - Congratulations to them (too)!!

My wife and I also saw Julie and Julia today and really loved it. Streep is amazing and Amy Adams totally adorable. Stanley Tucci is terrific.

Jose- What is the name of the Restaurant where The Girls are having Lunch?

Jose, if I may ask, which cast members are friends of yours?

Very cute, Fred. I was a bit confused by the ocean vista in Butte, Montana; but I guess in musicals, anything can happen.

I'm watching Chefs vs, City and recognize several locations from our first Jose's Walking and Eating tour!

So... Do you think that Harvey Fierstein really meant it when he said the Menier Chocolate Factory production of La Cage aux Folles was coming to Broadway next year? Again? So soon?

Well, it looks like it's official.

I certainly watched a bunch of different things tonight.

I began with today's soap line-up. THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS had Adam being confronted about his "being gay," and losing his girl in the process. Kind of poetic justice, I thought.

Matt H. · « **Reply #148 on:** August 07, 2009, 08:04:55 PM »

Luke and Noah had lots of screen time today on AS THE WORLD TURNS. We also got to see Noah's gorgeous film professor again, another plus.

Matt H. · « **Reply #149 on:** August 07, 2009, 08:06:09 PM »

And Kyle and FIsh were certainly part of the drama of ONE LIFE TO LIVE today, too. (Fish still hoping against hope, so sad).

Overall a good day for me on all three soaps.
