DR ChasSmith, your are fitting in here quite well! 

[MBarnum]

TOD:

So many that I love:

ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE

INVASION OF THE SAUCER MEN

WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST

TARGET EARTH

I MARRIED A MONSTER FROM OUTER SPACE

EARTH VS THE SPIDER

INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (not sure if this one would be considered low budget. The leads were of a higher class than the others listed, to be sure).

....all are movies that I watch regularly and never tire of.

[Ginny]

DR Ginny, I definitely want to see you and Richard. My week is technically open, but a lot of my schedule depends on Joshie and the DEAREST ENEMY orchestra parts, which must be printed and taped ASAP while I still have an office space to work.

OK, I'll call you when we get settled into the hotel Sunday evening.

Continued office vibes!

[Ginny]

I'm off to pick up Emilie and meet with our book group to discuss THE HUNGER GAMES - bye for now!

[bk]

Of course Leap of Faith will be recorded - the producers, who've already lost, what, ten million dollars, are now going to spend another quarter of a million on a recording.  Knowing composers as I do, the one person who won't be putting any money up will be the person who did the tweeting.

This story held me in awe from almost the first word. The possibilities of how this could help people who are paralyzed is just incredible.

Talk about amazing...it's almost "The Girl Who Was Plugged In" for real!

[George]

The meetng was three hours long but very profitable. Thank you for the vibes. Toyland is still rubble, but I feel more like a survivor of the original novel "War of the Worlds"or the Blitz than Gloria Swanson.

In the next month a movng crew will come in and tote to Cambridge 40-50 cartons of edits, scores, and not much else. Whatever is left behind needs to be discarded, given away or sold, I'm hoping, if we get our office, that we can purchase the shelving, copiers,and furniture.

Keep them office vibes coming!

~~~CONTINUED OFFICE VIBES FOR DR ELMORE!!~~~

I just spoke to Joshie, and on Tuesday theyre recording GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES. That might be a good day. Got your tickets to ONCE?

Forever Plaid found that out but quick.

My next door neighbor in Los Angeles produced that, and they can't seem to give it away.

I laughed

[Matthew]

The more I think about this "Lucky Stiff" film, the more I'm saddened.  Then I was reminded about the up and coming "Into the Woods" film and I'm even more saddened.  Both are such a lousy idea for the exact reasons bk (and others) have mentioned.  Now, a "Seussical - The Musical" ANIMATED Film would kick some major behind, as Dr Seuss is still taught in schools.  Who CARES about "Lucky Stiff" (besides us that know it well and have produced a recording or md'd a production) just like no one CARES about "Forever Plaid".  Heck, that movie isn't even a good resource when producing the show!

To contradict everything I've said here, I am waiting patiently for the "Sunset Blvd" musical film.  Which seems to be always in discussion.  With the following the piece has, (like Phantom or Love Never Dies) it will at least be seen.  It may stink, but people will go see it.  A whole lot more people than that that will see "Lucky Stiff". 

and.... scene.

Just read that Donna Summer has died.

Whew.....lots of time spent dancing to her music!

Me, too. That double live album of hers got a lot of play on my turntable.

That was probably my favorite album when it first came out (and long before I did ).  I bought the CD a few years ago and even after not hearing it for years, I still knew all the songs and transitions and most of the lyrics.

You had an allbum come out?

[TCB]

Forever Plaid found that out but quick.

My next door neighbor in Los Angeles produced that, and they can't seem to give it away.

Exactly.  They all think they're gonna strike it rich, but the market is not what it was and low-budget films of that budget range almost always lose everything.  Twenty years ago, completely different story.

Well, they did a lot wrong with that movie. It was filmed in a theater. The actors, three of whom were in the original cast, had way toooooo much makeup on and their skin looked orange (in a very distracting way), and there was something lethargic about the whole film. I remember enjoying "Forever Plaid" and laughing out loud quite a few times in a theater, but nothing was all that lively, original or even fun on the big screen. It just sat there, like so much fish, to quote a master.

That was kind of my elusive point - it was a stupid idea to film as if it were a film.  They thought because it was low-budget (i.e. around a million bucks) that they couldn't lose and would probably make a big chunk of change.  But we're not in that world anymore, and no one cared and it was horribly done.  What will be different about Lucky Stiff?  This is some amateur's idea of what would make an inexpensive film musical - no one knows this show - NO ONE, and therefore it will fail completely.  It's nice that someone has a million bucks to throw at something that will be shot digitally and assembled, but in the end if they find someone gullible it may get to play a week somewhere in one city, and then it's straight to cable and Blu-ray.

Gosh, I hate the show LUCKY STIFF.

Office vibes for DR elmore!

[elmore3003]

There has been a dearth of Mexican restaurants on the Upper West Side, but I've discovered a new place on 72nd that has fabulous burritos and beans and rice. It was quite deelish.

[elmore3003]

Keep those office vibes coming! It's looking good.

[Jrand73]

Good news DR ELMORE.

[Jrand73]

Careful DR TCB - I think we're in the minority around here.  Ahrens & Flaherty are the new Rodgers & Hammerstein.

[George]

I'm off!  Tonight will be Good Night Moon's final dress rehearsal and there will be a preview audience.  I hope I don't screw up.

Be back later!

[Jane]

Very exciting e-mail just received.  It looks like we'll be doing the soundtrack to the first season of the original Swedish series Wallander.  You have no idea how happy this makes me.  It took some doing - I began thinking about this a month ago - but it looks like it's a go according to composer Adam Norden, who happily retained the rights to his music.

Congratulations!

[Jrand73]

Break a leg DR GEORGE......

My auditions are this weekend and by this time next week I will also be in rehearsal.

Good luck with the auditions!

Time for to go to bed.

[Jrand73]

Thank you DR JANE.

[Jane]

I had a long day doing errands & am drained from the last week.

[Ginny]

DR Vixmom, no, yesterday's office visit was quite inconclusive for Mom, but thanks for asking.  There really is NO good solution to her problem.  We went grocery shopping for her afterwards and that always makes her feel better.

Did you stop at the liquor store?

Not this time, DR TCB.  One of her neighbors had already helped her out in that respect!

[Ginny]

Perfect!  Tuesday is better for us than Monday.  Our only definite plans that day are HARVEY at Studio 54 at 8pm.

I'm looking at the Wednesday matinee for ONCE.  We'll go to the box office with the discount offer I printed from Playbill.com and hope for the best.
