Another wretched musical was the teevee remake of The Music Man, with the inprobably-miscast Matthew Broderick.  Kristen Chenoweth was the only reason I made it halfway through the thing; eventually, even she couldn't be entertaining enough to keep me watching.

What were they thinking?

Who is Race Gentry?
[/size][/font]

Race Gentry was a contract player at Universal-International who never made much of a dent in Hollywood. He was one of a number of hunk actors represented by agent Henry Wilson. The only movie off hand that I can think of him being in is THERE'S ALWAYS TOMORROW with Barbara Stanwyck.

Really enjoyed the interview BK! It will add to my enjoyment of reading Kritzer Time!

Sorry that you didnt' really get to meet Leslie Parrish...but does that mean the Three Stooges story was for real?

Next time I come to L.A. I want the Kritzer tour for sure!

I think one either gets what elmore calls THE PIRATE's baroque style or they don't.  Having always been a fan of swasbucklers and panache playing, I just sort of naturally accept its over-the-top, larger- than- life (or I prefer life-on-a-grand-scale) stylistics and go with the flow.  I love Kelly's arch Barrymorish performance and the Pirate ballet is as athletic and robust as anything Errol Flynn ever did.  Even Judy...who sometimes gets on my nerves...is in top form here.  And the delicious Walter Slezak...always a joy!

Two guilty pleasures: ABOUT FACE, a musical version of Brother Rat with Gordon MacRae, Eddie Bracken, and Dick Weston...and a young Joel Grey before he got his nose bobbed.  And THREE SAILORS & A GIRL, Jane Powell, Gordo again, Gene Nelson, and Jack E. Leonard with a cameo by Burt Lancaster.

I also enjoy SHE'S WORKING HER WAY THROUGH COLLEGE, if for nothing else than Gene Nelson's dance in the gym to Am I In Love.

RLP: You must see the latest of the FSM board.  Mr. Capuccino STILL won't admit he's wrong, even with the irrefutable proof shoved in his face.  I've given him one more chance to behave like a human being and then he will rue the day he was ever a pathological liar.

I must interrupt this thread with a special message:

Before I read the notes or read any postings I have a bone to pick with someone on this here board.  And pick it I shall.

Mr. Bruce Kimmel.  Do you know what you did to me today?  You made me cry.  CRY,   :'( I tell you during my lunch half hour.  Made my eyes red and nose runny so when I went back to my desk everyone asked if I was hurting again.  

I must demand something for my tears.  I want another Benjamin Kritzer book forthwith or withforth.  Please.   :)

The ending was something of a shock-a-roo and I kept thinking there has to be more!

Seriously, I really, honestly  enjoyed it, tears and all.  I want to think about it for a day and then I will write the promised review to all the sites.  I want to be a little more eloquent than, “I laughed, I cried, I kissed $20.00 bucks goodbye." (Or however much it was, I don’t remember).  LOL!

I have notes and posts to read.  

Go ahead with whatever you were talking about before this.

I now return you to your regular thread.

Good vibes to DR Maya on her Opening Night.  ~~~~~~~~~~~

Apparently tonight's episode of The Apprentice will feature interviews.  And TWO people will be fired in the first half hour.  My guesses are: Bill and Nick will be gone (Nick for sure).

Can't wait for Survivor.  I want Boston Rob to be reunited with Amber (okay I'm a sucker for romance).

Panni, regarding your rant earlier today-LOL

JRand53 I feel the same about Charlton Heston.  I have liked many of his movies and the characters he portrayed.  It was just him personally I didn’t care for.

Maya, I hope your play went well tonight and am looking forward to the details.

MBarnum, if you ask, Bruce might add my house to his tour.

All of these are pretty bad movie musicals (and all have been mentioned before):

Annie
At Long Last Love
Brigadoon
Camelot
A Chorus Line
Mame
Man of La Mancha

But the one really bad movie musical that I like (I don't know why, I just do) is Xanadu.  I love the songs (I have the CD).  I remember the first time I saw it was when we had HBO (years ago), thinking that it was a fun (and yes, I realized, not very good) lazy afternoon movie.

And BREAK A LEG, D.R. MAYA!

BK:  I've challenged Mr. Capucine on various fronts over the past few months.  You've been there for some of it.

Let's not give the impression we're out to gang up on him and beat him mercilessly.

I'm going to listen to the interview now.  I will be thinking about what I want to say, Bruce.  

Break an arm, an leg or whatever it takes but have a wonderful time doing it, Maya!  

Thank you for Easter outfit compliments.  You DO know that bunny is low carb?

WE NEED MORE POSTS, TO KEEP US ENTERTAINED!!!

Well, let me entertain you!

My Last Supper Joke

It's the Last Supper, and Jesus announces to his apostles, "My brothers, I want to let you know that this is the last time I shall break bread with you.  At this very moment, Roman guards are on their way to arrest me, and it is because one of you has betrayed me."

Well, the apostles are all stunned.  They all think so highly of one another that each of them starts to wonder if they have done something inadvertantly to bring about this betrayal.  

So Luke comes up to Jesus and asks, "Was it I, Lord?"

And Jesus turns to Luke and says, "No,  Luke, it is not you.  In fact, I know that your love for me has grown stronger each day that you have been with me.  It is not you, my brother."

Then Mark comes up to Jesus and asks, "Was it I, Lord?"

And Jesus turns to Mark and says, "No, Mark, it is not you.  I sense that your love for me is also great, and the words that you will write about me will live on for thousands of years.  It is not you, either, my brother."

Then Judas comes up to Jesus and asks, "Was it I, Lord?"

And Jesus turns to Judas and says...


"Oh, was it I, Lord?!?  Was it I, Looooord?!?"
