Well, you've read the notes, the notes had some treasure, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently searching for the treasure of the Sierra MOOdre.

BTW Beatty hasn't acted in a film in over a decade. Since Town and Country which was one of the biggest bombs ever.

Good morning, all! I've been catching up on yesterday's posts and doing a lot of Google searches. I've been reading the new autobiography, I WAS A DANCER, by Jacques d'Amboise and it sent me off to Google. The book is quite wonderful, some of it is very moving, and Mr d'Amboise is a very generous and kind storyteller. There are some beautiful portraits of interesting folk. The book is a lot like the Hugh Martin bography that was recently published; I wish Hugh hadn't found Jesus and swept the dirt under the carpet. Since the prurient side of me is interested in the dish - and I've read and heard some from their late publicist Phillip Bloom some concerning the City Ballet in the 40s and 50s - I think it's a very whitewashed story in this new bio. Still, I'm enjoying it very much.

Today I am back to Encores! I have some CHARLEY? work to accomplish here before I go.

Sorry to hear that Mr D'Amboise decided not to lay the cards on the table, so to speak.

Off to do some Monday shopping.....even though I am not feeling so well. It might be the start of something....or the end of something. Time will tell.

No, I read the notes slowly and carefully.

Notwithstanding the silly stage name, I suspect Lady Gaga will do well in films once she gets into that mode. (I say that since Gaga seems to be following a Madonna-type track.)

FJL · « **Reply #15 on:** March 07, 2011, 05:48:52 AM »

Both Cher and Madonna opted to debut on Broadway in supporting roles in straight plays, not in musicals.

Not interesting, but it's a post.

And they both proved that they were lousy stage actresses without multiple takes, editing and cutting.

I remember that DICK TRACY was a chore to sit through. The costumes, scenery, cinematography and makeup were initially interesting but eventually the garishness of it all was wearying. Absolutely no direction as far as setting any kind of balance of tone among the stars--Beatty just let everyone do whatever the hell they wanted. I recall that I didn't mind Madonna but she wasn't any better than anyone else in that film.

How could I have forgotten "McCabe & Mrs Miller"!

I have to hit the post office and send two packages before I get to City Center.

Cher and Madonna are puzzling to me as actresses. I thought Cher was wonderful in MOONSTRUCK and SILKWOOD and that Madonna was terrific in SUDDENLY SEEKING SUSAN and A LEAGUE OF THIER OWN, but they both generally range from mediocre to outright horrible in other movies. I don't think they were just lucky and pulled their good performances out of their butts. Do they respond only to certain directors? Something different in their diets at those points in their careers? Like I said, 'tis a puzzlement...

Druxy · « **Reply #22 on:** March 07, 2011, 06:31:21 AM »

I've never been a big Warren Beatty fan.

I'm not suggesting that many of his films are not good, but the only movie of his that I really like is SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS.

Al Pacino:

THE GODFATHER TRILOGY, SERPICO, ...AND JUSTICE FOR ALL and, although I don't really like the picture itself, I think Al's choreography scene in DICK TRACY is hysterical.
