Well, you've read the notes, the notes were a journey and were centered and had edge enhancement, and now it is time for you to post until the enhanced cows come home.

bk: I loved today's notes. These ~~people~~ idiots have, as you say, had a detrimental effect on the sale of many Blu-ray discs. Sadly, I don't think they will ever change their ways because they love to play the expert.

WOW! I think that must have been the longest BK blog! I, however, loved reading about it. I don't understand anything about DNR or edge enhancement and I enjoy the blu-ray releases that people carp about.

A preview of the upcoming "Great Gatsby." Not exactly inspiring, but then again, I was not a fan of "Moulin Rouge":

Good morning, all! This is the first day in some time I am declaring a ME Day: I'm going to clean the apartment, organzine, file and tend to important things pertaining to me. I also need to stop at the post office.

The alarm went off at 6, and I slept in until 7. I had a peculiar dream about rehearsing a show like, but wasn't, the Appalachian Christmas piece; I was staying in a fantastic hotel, the wise men were in three Volkswagons and that's all I remember of it.

I do want to see THE WOMAN IN BLACK; the 1989 BBC version is truly terrifying, and the original novel by Susan Hill is a successful attempt to write a Victorian ghost story. I have the impression that the new film doesn't follow the novel as closely as the BBC version does, but I haven't read the novel in close to twenty years, so what do I know? I watched the BBC version again about two years ago and it still packs a wallop. I owned it on VHS as soon as it was released for sale after the A&E broadcast. I now own a bootleg DVD because it's no longer available and it's a pity. It should be an annual Halloween broadcast. I see on IMDB that it's one minute longer than the Radcliffe movie, but I still want to see the new version, so I can saa how it compares.

More coffee and to work!

DR Ginny, I'm sorry that the performance was screwed up because of the scenery. At least you got to see the whole performance. When Skip, DR FJL and I saw MARY POPPINS the first time, the scenic problems stopped the show cold and we had to come back for another performance.

I'm looking forward to the news on ONCE. I think you and Richard should go onstage and have a beer at 1:30.

Well, the info coming in on THE MUSiC MAN at Arena bodes not much good; the director for some reason has set the show in the 1930s, which blows to hell Willson's valentine to his childhood before WW 1, and dances like the Castle Walk and Turkey Trot seem awfully out of place, along wth the Wells Fargo Wagon and Captain Billy's Whizbang, in that period of talkies, Fred and Ginger, the depression, and other matters of social and economic change.

I like MOULIN ROUGE very much, but the GATSBY trailer did not make me want to see that movie.

This reminds me of something that Mervyn LeRoy said to me once. He was talking about Hollywood, but it certainly applies to this situation.

"The problem with the movies is that they take a Broadway hit and improve it into a flop."

It's Wednesday; it's hot, and the privets are in bloom about a month later than normal-- that means we can extend the allergy season into July! $:-\$

Yes, I was afraid Jim Parsons and Scott Ellis were going to announce something like that when they appeared in front of the beautiful scrim with the lamppost on it. As it turned out, it was a delightful chat.

DR Elmore, if I drink beer at 1:30 I'd have to leave my seat about 2:15 and I don't want to miss anything...

And I'm afraid that the more I see of Carey Mulligan, the thinner her acting seems to get. I heard she was great onstage, and I certainly enjoyed "An Education," but she doesn't do it for me as Daisy in these previews. Neither did Mira Sorvino or Mia Farrow.

As I've stated before, my first interaction with internet idiots (TM) was on Wikipedia, when an "editor" literally stole my Farmer article, but got several facts wrong in the process. When I tried to correct her, I found out that those who "live" for these sites know all sorts of ways to "game the system", and I soon found myself suspended, even though I had been plagiarized. Since then I've learned to (mostly) ignore the idiots and instead try to respond to those who actually know what they're talking about.

I am going to a progressive health emporium today to have what is billed as an abdominal massage. I hope they can deal with someone who's incredibly ticklish.
