Well, you've read the notes, you've dreamed the notes, you've become the notes, so now it is time to post until the cows come home. To it, you dear, dear people out there in the dark.

Tomovoz, I wouldn't classify myself as an insomniac.

I'm a night owl with extremely bad habits! I stayed up until 5:00ish yesterday morning, and I woke up at 1:00. I'm actually quite tired now, and I have to travel tomorrow, so if I don't get a lot of sleep tonight, I can sleep on the train.

In regard to the posting issue on Good Friday:
I for one have grown up with my mom and family suggesting that my brother and I keep the tv and computer/internet off as much as possible on Good Friday, especially between the hours of noon and 3:00 PM, when Jesus was on the road to Calvary and then crucified at 3:00. I have occasionally noticed in the past few years that sunny skies turn gray at around the time Jesus died on Good Friday. I've always found that interesting. Work and packing also kept me off of the computer. Btw, I will probably not be posting for a week or so as I'm off to Philly and NYC. Take care, all!

In answer to BK's question re the winner and nominees for Best Actress in 1978, the winner was Diane Keaton for Annie Hall, over fellow nominees Marsha Mason (The Goodbye Girl), Jane Fonda (Julia), and Anne Bancroft and Shirley MacLaine (The Turning Point).

EEE! I'm so tired, but I can't sleep. I think I'll respond to some of yesterday's posts that I missed!

TCB said "Oh, I see how it is, Maya. You don't mind parading around in front of a room full of total strangers in your camisole, but my son (who is probably the strangest of them all) is not good enough to see even a picture of you dressed that way!"

Jed said"Alright, TCB, you just got yourself nominated for Father of the Year, good sir!!!"

You boys are both adorable, and TCB makes a damn good argument for posting scantily-clad pics. We'll see, lol.

Elmore--I believe that it was the Street Scene original cast recording with Anne Jeffries, but I can't be sure, as it was sent to me by a friend over IM. But the sound quality sounds late 40's or early 50's, so I can only assume so. "Lonely House" is one of the loveliest songs ever, however sad. I play Kitty Verdun in "Where's Charley?" I wonder who they will cast in the Goodspeed production!

Charles Pogue--LOVED the pics! You and the lovely wife Julianne are both hotties.

Maya · « **Reply #5 on:** April 10, 2004, 01:02:44 AM »

As for 70's films, I'm going to say "Annie Hall," "Love and Death," "The Goodbye Girl," and "All That Jazz."

Sending along good vibes to Mr BK for his reading in Glendale...I bet you have at least one surprise visitor and maybe even make a new friend!!

Films from the 1970's...hmmmmmmm:

NASHVILLE - I too enjoy this movie, the songs and characters are a fascinating lot.

THE OMEN - scary....I also enjoy its sequels!

I will have to study a few more lists. I don't remember the 1970's clearly.

Yesterday we saw a beautiful Romeo, some great CP stage photos, and we found NEMO! Where else but HHW?

Good morning all!

Just wanted to hop on (get it?) and wish Mr. Kimmel a wonderful and successful reading today! Can't be there in person but that ringing in your ears will be the good vibes all of us are sending you!

I'm off to the Ren Fest today. I'll have pictures tonight.

Have a good day all!

Some of my all-time favorite movies came out in the seventies:

Chinatown
The Exorcist
The French Connection
Beyond the Valley of the Dolls
Jaws
The Tenant
The Shootist
Suspiria
Enter the Dragon
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Star Wars
The Andromedra Strain
The China Syndrome
All the President's Men
Time After Time
The Omen

Of any of these, though, Chinatown is easily my favorite. And remember, in the seventies, this movie was a big hit...today, it'd be relegated to the art house, I think. Too highbrow for contemporary audiences.

And perhaps is was Viet-Nam or Watergate-related disenchantment, but it's always seemed to me that downbeat endings were more common in that era.

Matt H. · « **Reply #14 on:** April 10, 2004, 07:27:38 AM »

All of the women nominated in 1977 were in hit films which meant a great deal more to getting a nomination back in the day. I remember lots of people being impressed with Duvall and Spacek, but the film sank without a trace.

My favorite films of the 1970s have all been covered pretty much:

CHINATOWN
MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS
DOG DAY AFTERNOON
CABARET
ANNIE HALL
ALL THE PREDISENT'S MEN
MANHATTAN
THE STING
THE GODFATHER PART II

Good morning. Off for a walk, but thought I'd read the posts first. Last night I made the mistake of going to bed early - around 10:30. Woke up all rested and ready to go. Except it was 3 AM!

When you look at all the great films of the 70's, you realize what a sad state (Texas?) movies are in these days.

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #16 on:** April 10, 2004, 07:35:37 AM »

I can never remember any films until I start seeing the lists. Michael Shayne picked a favourite of mine: THE RULING CLASS.

William E. Lurie · « **Reply #17 on:** April 10, 2004, 07:39:56 AM »

The best movie of the 70s was THE FIRST NUDIE MUSICAL and I would have said that even before HHW ever existed.

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #18 on:** April 10, 2004, 07:55:25 AM »

I love having all my show pictures on CD. Today's selections are from THE CEREMONY OF INNOCENCE by Ronald Ribman, directed by the lovely wife, Julieanne (before she was my lovely wife, naturally):

CP, your wife bears an uncanny resemblance to Jennifer Garner in that picture.

Taking a joke too far - William Hung at Madison Square Garden!

According to an article I read, Mr. Hung has a stage mother to top Mama Rose or the mothers of Dolores Gray or Clifton Webb,

And speaking of stage mothers, I saw something on the subway the other day that I can't quite forget. There was a frumpy mother with her son who looked to be about 8 or 9. The son had hair that was styled and shaped within an inch of its life; his eyebrows were plucked and perfectly shaped; his tiny nails were manicured with clear polish; his clothes looked like a tiny version of the ivy league preppy look complete with open shirt and gold medalion; and he was holding a brochure from a modeling school. I wanted to beg the woman not to send him to school that way... mess up the hair a little, remove the nail polish, dress him more age appropriate. I could just imagine what that poor kid would go through if his peers saw him that way. I felt very sorry for him.

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #24 on:** April 10, 2004, 08:23:31 AM »

MattH, I have no idea who Jennifer Garner is...But if she's an actress under thirty I don't know any of them...It's very sad now...or maybe not...but when I look at the spread of celebrities in a National Enquirer or some such tabloid, I just turn quizically to the lovely wife and say, "Who the Hell are these people?" I know few of the current crop of TV or so-called movie stars.

Hey! Not only did I appear in MOVE OVER, MRS. MARKHAM, but I also appeared in CEREMONY OF INNOCENCE! (I was the bishop)!

td, I played Edmund the bad son who meets a bad end in CEREMONY. In MARHAM, I was Alistair the interior decorator that everyone thought was gay but was actually boffing Sylvie the Swedish Maid ("Ja! Ja!"). Who'd you play? Below another shot of the bad boy:
