We may just show a streaming video...

Or to perk up attendance....show a streaking video.

I suspect you're safe for a while. Unlike your elderly neighbors, vampires are smart enough not to walk barefoot on asphalt surfaces during summer in Phoenix.

Is MBarnum writing for FOX NEWS?

der Brucer

Actually I suspect the answer is "No". When listing the greatest films of the Prison genre, he would not have included Chicago!

I'd only suspect Barnum if there were two men on the cover.

LOL, that would be different, DR der Brucer!

Right after I made that post, I made a phone call and secured a speaker for August 3!!! Why didn't I call Jenni sooner?

Now maybe I'll be able to sleep past 6am...

TOD

Nosferatu
and the film with John Malkovich about the making of the Nosferatu where the actor playing the Vampire really might be one.

Night Stalker

House of Dark Shadows. (Night of had no vampires)

Fright Night

The Horror of Dracula with Christopher Lee

and I am sure there are others

A couple of late Ask BK questions because I just remembered them.

If I remember correctly weren't you going to release a series of STAGE concerts hat hadn't been released?

Is Whoop-Up still being considered?

With the talk of John McGlinn if memory serves me there is an unreleased restoration cast album (or two) that he recorded but were never released. If the rights can be sorted out would you consider releasing them?

What about Babes In Toyland once Elmoore is finished with the restoration?

BK has already inquired about them. I am not encouraging anyone I care about to pursue this.

I do not like vampires or vampire movies.

It's funny, but I would have said the same thing a few years ago. But I find that the vampire books/tv shows/movies they do now are much different. It's not some big scary vampire. But rather they have vampires having regular lives/love lives ... I find I actually really like this kind of book/tv show/movie.

I've never seen most of the vampire movies listed. But I have watched Twilight and New Moon. I watch True Blood and The Vampire Diaries.

No to Whoop Up. Yes, to the STAGE benefits if details can be worked out.

The thing with the periods is prevalent on every single message board I occasionally visit. Everyone who is saying they've never seen them must be living away from the computer or message boards or places where writing occurs by amateurs.

Had a very nice lunch with my pal Marshall Harvey - he edits all Joe Dante's films, and edited my Barry in Concert segment for Likely Stories.

Punctuation's classical use is to support syntax; it has a secondary use to support "sounding aloud" breath control: comma, small pause. period full stop.

Take your example:

"...the critic quote on the front reads: Best. Vampire. Movie. Ever."

Read aloud "The best vampire movie, ever." has little audible punch. We can add punch, increasingly with'

"The best vampire movie, ever!"

"The best vampire movie. Ever!

"The best vampire movie!" Ever!

leading us to:

"Best. Vampire. Movie. Ever." (Each word spoken as a heavily stressed one-word sentence)

Those of us who have our own personal anal-retentive pixie who reads aloud in our inner-mind while we silently read from the page appreciate the technique.

Some of my favorite prose works (Baldwin's "Giovanni's Room", Conrad's "Heart of Darkness") sound like poetry when the pixie is speaking.

Lesson Two is is the use of language to invoke imagery which then conveys meaning (examples, T.S. Eliot, Walt Whitman, L. Ferlinghetti ).

You totally lost me with Walt Whitman!

DR Laura, regarding the fireworks yesterday....we don't need a holiday to have fireworks in Sioux City, they have them a lot in the summer. Last night was the Big Parade starting our annual Rivercade festival. I think there's something tonight, too, but not sure. Tomorrow is the RAGBRAI kick off, so there will be fireworks again.

I am irritated with the federal court. I have planned for weeks to take tomorrow off. So, tonight at almost 5:00 PM I get a notice via email of a hearing at 9:00 AM. Absolutely no time to get coverage, so I'll be going to court in the morning. I'm sure the prosecutor, the judge and the marshals all knew about the court date. defense counsel is always the last to know. They will tell my client before they tell me. It's a real pet peeve and I'm tired of it.

Audition vibes for Jonathan, who, indeed, was wonderful as the Scarecrow! From the photo, it's apparent that he climbed the 100 steps to the McKinley crypt. My photos were taken from the bottom of the steps.
