This future star played a supporting role (winning several Emmys IIRC) on a long running tv series which starred one of JR's most adored celebrities.

Why, it must be Megan Mullally!

I just heard a telephonic voice mail message from Mike Stoller who said he was "bowled over" by the show and the material

Congrats on a successful show!

DR Vixmom I'm impressed with the speed you maneuvered through security. With my implant I would have missed the plane unless they held it for me.

Great to hear about the success of the Gardenia show!

Yes, we did run out after the show (we always do because I have to be in the office at 6:30 the next morning). I usually say goodnight to Bruce before leaving, but he was occupied and I also wanted to say hello to Steve Yudson (one of the dancing dildos) whom I hadn't seen in perhaps 15 years.

As for the show itself, a splendid time was had by all. I paid my respects to the people I knew (Adryan Russ is always so kind and welcoming) or had met before. Janet and I had a marvelous time. Interestingly enough, there were only a few songs last night that I don't think I already had a recording of, as I had some of the some of the earlier work from a little CD called "The Music of Bruce Kimmel." I just looked it up on Amazon and I'm amazed -- there' only 1 copy for sale and it's going for $71.99! Mine is signed by Bruce (he scribbled, "My God! You have one of these!" and no, it's not for sale.

Bruce was very self-effacing because the room was lousy with songwriters. Well I gotta tell ya, Bruce has written some great stuff and my only disappointment last night was that I didn't hear all of the songs I'd hoped for (I have a soft spot in my heart for a song called "3 Acts.")

Anyway, the show was some of the best fun you can have with your clothes on, and my wife and I are looking forward to the Christmas show in December.

I also received an advance copy of the Brando MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY yesterday. Don't believe everything you read is all I can say. More later.

?? I am afraid I'm going to need more info, DR JMK!

I have the HD-DVD and it is, in a four-syllable word, SPEC-TAC-U-LAR!

Please tell me they didn't ruin it for Blu-ray!

No, quite the opposite, though you wouldn't know it from the Forums (Fora?).

I visited the active Blu-ray.com forum...and was not surprised in the least at everyone -- without seeing it at all -- condemning it as badly done. What a farce. And screen caps....sorry, but you cannot judge how a film looks by screen caps alone. They are always a bit fuzzy/soft, IMO.

There's a lot of anal 'tude at that forum.

bk · « **Reply #67 on:** November 03, 2011, 11:33:35 AM »

Especially the screencaps at DVD Beaver - his are the worst and never resemble in the least what a transfer will look like - and yet, despite everyone saying that, they all use those caps as "evidence" that the transfer is a bust - it may well be but I'm not judging until I see it.

Congrats to BK and the Cast of Gardenia 15: Kimmelsongs!!

So BK, when are you going to record (or better yet, videorecord) one of these Gardenia concerts??

Have you seen this?

Great review, JMK...I checked out the DVD from the library, but because of "The Hound of the Baskervilles," I didn't get a chance to watch it before it was due. I couldn't renew it because there were requests.

The BD has almost an hour of recently discovered footage that was excised from the final version of the film and there's a most amusing cameo by someone who would later become a rather well known television star, and who, I believe, may even be a close personal acquaintance of BK's.

That sounds interesting.

You'll have accurate screencaps to go by soon.

Or anyone else in that show.

Thanks for the warning DR JMK

Jrand73 · « **Reply #74 on:** November 03, 2011, 12:56:32 PM »

Happy to read all of the kudos for MR BK and Co.

Praise from Mr Stoller is praise indeed.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #75 on:** November 03, 2011, 12:57:15 PM »

I like Marlon Brando and Mutiny on the Bounty - but I doubt that I will pay full price for a Blu Ray since I have only watched the DVD a couple of times in the past few years.

I am glad to see (hear) that someone else knows Bruce's 3 Acts which I listed in an earlier post. I recommend a listen to all.

Does this release have the prologue that I have read about where it takes place years after the events and richard Hayden's character recounts the tale in flashback?

MBarnum · « **Reply #83 on:** November 03, 2011, 02:48:04 PM »

BK, I am so happy that the show went well last night. That would have been such fun to see and hear! Sometimes I forget that you write songs, also, but boy do you!

Oh of course, silly me....Akshay Kumar....he is one the the top actors in Hindi films, and he collects old movie posters. I'd love to lunch with him and have a chat. Maybe he would invite me over to see his collection.

I am up to a really quite astonishing nine (!!) FedEx/UPS deliveries so far today. I don't think I have EVER received so much review product in one day, it's mind boggling.

Oh, Lord, the BLUE VELVET fanatics are pestering me about not giving the film 5 out of 5 stars. When did 4/5 become a bad score?
