Well, you've read the notes, the notes were like a bad LSD trip, and now it is time for you to post until the the cows come home - they're currently having an acid flashback of Mr. Otto Preminger.

Morning all.

That is all.

And a good morning to all.

ASK BK

Any plans for the Blu Ray of TFNM to have a side by side comparison of before and after the restoration?

Good morning, all! I had a horrible time getting to sleep and I wish I could stay in bed another hor, but I am up, my bags are packed with today's agenda, and I will shortly be off to the McGlinnventory at Park and 23rd.

We are down to the last four numbers for EILEEN: 2 Entr'Actes, a short dance, and a piece of incidental music taken from another number in the score, so it's a cut and paste. Next week we begin the binding and taping, and need to think about my next job. God knows what it is.

DR JohnG, you asked about Mr Troob; he just did some additional orchestrations for Larry Hochman on DEATH TAKES A HOLIDAY. Much as I admire his work, I have never found him friendly - I found him quite the opposite when I worked with him on Kris Phillips' album BEIJING TO BROADWAY - and I care little about what he's up to. His orchestrations are quite wonderful and I admire his talents. I have friends who think he's charming, I looked forward to meeting him, and he made it clear that he had no interest in being friendly.

That's my news. More coffee.

Gonna be another hot day.

I have to go to the dentist at 6pm this evening.

Too bad, Elmore. Danny was very nice the few times I met him.

We actually had rain here yesterday. For the first time in what seemed like months. And the plants are all perking up. The eggplant is covered in purple blossoms and one of the peppers is all in white. Hope both of them actually produce some fruit.

And a belated good morning to all.

I had heard that from friends, and I went into the recording sessions looking forward to meeting him. He made it very clear he neither wished to talk to me nor to be friendly. I later sent him a note, since he didn't return my phone call, apologizing for an error on one of John Yap's recordings where I was credited for an orchestration Danny had done - Mr Yap keeps terrible records and miscredits a lot of things - and he never respnded. I've made three friendly overtures and received three cold shoulders. Why waste my time?

DR Elmore, do you take any meds before bedtime? Maybe they are causing these sleep problems and wild dreams.

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And I'm trying to plan out my dining choices for the day.

In other news...

According to the weather report I just saw, today is the first day of a string of "dangerously hot" days. At least I'll be in an over-air-conditioned theatre for most of them.

Wednesday.

Yes I enjoyed THE EGYPTIAN....and yes I turned off the commentary about 15 minutes into the film.

Today I am pulling the kiddies away from their various electronics to make them deliver Meals on Wheels. I'm a vicious, torturing father.

...And I'm wondering if they'll be taking some more press photos in a few weeks after our cast finally "settles".

Druxy · « **Reply #26 on:** July 20, 2011, 07:34:21 AM »

I saw THE EGYPTIAN many years ago and, frankly, I had trouble getting through it.

I've never really been a fan of Biblical or sword-and-sandal movies.
