Well, you've read the notes, the notes were light as champagne and as energetic as the polka, and now it is time for you to post until the champagne cows come home.

When I was in high school, I saw "The Harrad Experiment" on HBO.

The first really controversial (non-rated, Catholic Church condemned) movie I saw was the Banned-in-Boston: "The Moon Is Blue".

Since I had already seen the play, courtesy of my local priest taking me with him on date with his fiance, I already knew that the fuss was much ado about nothing.

In my youth, the Adult Entertainment we teens attempted to crash was live Burlesque (at the seedy Troc in the tenderloin by Chinatown). Philadelphia even attempted to generate a classy renaissance of the Burlie Q by staging classy acts like Sally Rand and Lily St Cyr at an uptown movie palace (The Carmen). Unfortunately, the "upgrade" had some class but lost all the humor of the comic acts and the "atmosphere" of the theatre vendors hawking their wares during the show. Alas, the Carmen venue never fully captured the unique aroma of the Troc.

The best recreation of those waning days of Burlesque was "Sugar Babies".

Greetings all and sundry (or is that sundried).

I have my presentation at 10:00am so I'm sitting here in a shirt and tie with my 1958 Mickey Mouse Tie Clip (in excellent shape for a 51 year old piece of jewelry).

I will be reviewing the contents of the presentation as the early morning moves along.

I don't know if he'll log in before he leaves for Rome but best wishes for a grand vacation to our own Eye Tal ian, Mr. TCB, which is almost The Country's Best Yogurt, but not quite.

Are they still around, TCBY that is?

Why, yes, they are!

I'm all alone at 6:48 so I will leave also.

Bye for now.

I think that the first film that really "shocked" me was I AM A FUGITIVE FROM A CHAIN GANG with Paul Muni.

I saw it on TV when I was a kid.

SPOILER AHEAD:

That final line, "I steal," totally blew me away.

It stayed with me for weeks.

A double bill (they had them once) of A Clockwork Orange and Deliverance. They were rated 18 years and over back then and I was 16, but looked 18.

Baby It's You

Another Jukebox musical. I really hate this trend no matter how good a show it may be. If I want to hear actors playing other singers I think I'd listen to the original recordings.

It also seems that this show was put together in responds to the success of the Jersey Boys.

I hope I am wrong and this show is just as good or better than Jersey Boys

Good morning, all! I have to go in to the McGlinnventory today but I plan on staying no more than an hour. Hopefully I will arrive back here before the second Office Depot shipment arrives. If I come back from the law office feeling as though critters are crawling all over me, my first thing when I get back will be a bath. Then at 2:30 I have physical therapy followed by a trip to the market.

Good morning. Kittens Wally and George have an appointment at the vet today for, uh... well, I'm not telling them why.

My gosh, they look young in that video clip!!!!

Of course, it was more than 50 years ago.

Laura, now your quote makes more sense. I read it yesterday and thought it was just a history lesson.

I do not like egg salad of ANY kind served on any bread with any condiments.

Yes GLEE was in fine form last night. The songs were fun and plot driven. And no guest star shoe horned in with an implausible storyline just for a chance to do a couple of over produced useless numbers.

And Sue's revelation was most touching. And it would be nice if they would realize from an episode like last night's that they don't need all of the "quirky" and "endearing" characters they have saddled themselves with.

I see the parents behind last month's "balloon boy" hoax are being sentenced today. I hope this is the end of their desperate attempts to get more than their 15 seconds of fame.

Remind me again which scene from A Chorus Line this is??

Jrand73 · « **Reply #26 on:** November 12, 2009, 05:37:13 AM »

I believe it is from a unused chorus of "I Can Do That!".
