BK, sorry to hear about the musical, but I'm glad that you feel some relief from the squabbles and headaches and offstage drama that had been occurring.

TOD: The '80s produced some great films, including a few that I return to time and again. "Blade Runner" remains one of the best sci-fi movies I've ever seen (though I didn't like the director's cut that felt obliged to overexplain things to its audience).  I loved "A Christmas Story," "Sixteen Candles," "Spinal Tap" and a slew of Woody Allen films, including "Hannah and Her Sisters," "Radio Days" and "Crimes and Misdemeanors."

Among my favorite foreign films of that era were Bergman's "Fanny and Alexander" and the two-parter, "Jean de Florette" and "Manon of the Springs."

I was not a Tom Cruise fan then. Couldn't get through "Top Gun" on cable, still can't stand movies like that or "Cocktail."

There's a whole lotta 80's movies I could list as favorites!  Woody Allen's output alone would make quite a list of films I like:

STARDUST MEMORIES
A MIDSUMMER'S NIGHT SEX COMEDY
ZELIG
BROADWAY DANNY ROSE
THE PURPLE ROSE OF CAIRO
HANNAH AND HER SISTERS
RADIO DAYS
NEW YORK STORIES
CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS

And also his odd but still intriguing dramas
SEPTEMBER
ANOTHER WOMAN

The common denominator in this list?  Mia Farrow.  She was either a dynamic muse of his work or she just happened to hook up with him at an incredibly creative time in his life.  We'll probably never learn the truth about that from either of them...

What can I tell you?

A lot of films that many people adore (e.g. OUT OF AFRICA), I find to be boring. 

On the other hand, a lot of people think that I have absolutely no taste because I happened to enjoy a movie like NINE.

I guess that's what makes the world interesting.

BTW: I also like RADIO DAYS and two other 1980s movies that I really love are THE PURPLE ROSE OF CAIRO and WITHOUT A CLUE.

I suppose I'm up - will probably go back to bed but was having the oddest dream - what I can remember is that I'd met someone and we'd become slightly randy, and then I was outside the home of where a party was being given and the randy person went off to the bathroom or something.  Meanwhile, I found myself sitting in a white Porsche next to Ed Asner - he was the driver.  We were there very early - eleven o'clock in the morning, and I was surprised we had to sit there until the party started at one.  I told Ed there was a great parking place just ahead.  He just sat there and then someone else took the spot and he said "Oh, well" and turned around and we got another spot - but then the person in the original spot left and we took that.  Then we sat there, and then I was talking to Raquel Welch and we were both telling Teddy stories and that was funny.  Then I was talking to Bea Arthur and Doris Roberts and I kept asking what year it was and saying how good we'd all look later.  That's about all I remember.

I think I ate a little too much garlic last night, too - not having heartburn, but I feel "topped off" - just ate too much food.

Good morning, all! I slept late. Again. I think my body must have needed some time off, and I've been feeling puny most of the weekend. Although I did accomplish a great deal of work, I've been having horrible stomach pains and I need to call my doctor for an appointment.

Today I will answer a few OZ questions, deal with more of THE ROSE OF ALGERIA, and not move too far from the apartment. I received an email from our McGlinnventory paralegal that our DAT player is still in drydock and the rep from Academy Records has not responded to inquiries on when he plans to pick up the ton of LP's he purchased a week ago, so there may be no McGlinn work this week. as soon as the records go, we'll have room to begin the second round of sorting published and manuscript music for the Library of Congress and vendors.

TOD: I always loved one of Richard Lester's last films, FINDERS KEEPERS, with Michael O'Keefe, Beverly D'Angelo, and David Wayne (wish that were on DVD) and MAID TO ORDER, with Ally Sheedy and Beverly D'Angelo, who can do no wrong in my book.

MR BK - the Dream-O-Matic 6000 says that your dream indicates that at this time you value career over personal life although you feel career could be moving a bit faster.  You are comfortable where you are, but moving ahead would also be great.
Your values of beauty are varied but a knockout female will always grab your attention.  You don't always get what you want in a timely manner, but you are patient and will accept it when it finally comes along.

And a big agreement on FLASHDANCE!

I rarely dream about celebrities, but one odd dream I recall featured Daryl Hannah and JFK, Jr.  Strangely enough, Daryl Hannah was the more interesting of the two...

I did enjoy the AIRPLANE films and some made-for-TV movies from the 80s, but otherwise I have no favorite theatrical movies from that decade, and I did see quite a few.
