So pleased to have you back where you belong TCB. (With the rest of the cookies).

Maybe it's time for A cookie chase instead of a dance. Catch phrase?

JRand-fresh tomatoes and Walla Walla onions from the garden go on the nut burgers along with slices of avocados.

Hi TCB.

DearReaderLaura I did give just about everything from my Dad’s place to a charity, well everything my sister didn’t take. There are still some things of my parents I would have liked to have had that I will never know what happened to.

Yes, it's horrible to audition with a bad actor. Back in my acting days, I once auditioned for Second City in Toronto. Would've given anything to be part of that troupe. And I was funny and good at improv. Well, at the audition, for the first cut, I was sent up with someone who was SO bad that Chaplin would have found it impossible to be funny with him. End of my Second City hopes.
Oh well, this way I can always comfort myself with the thought that if only I'd been sent up with someone good, I too could have gone the route of Gilda Radner and John Belushi and John Candy... On the other hand....

ON LOCATION REPORT FROM UBER-AUDITIONER BK

The auditions are going well. They've seen some good people. He says hello to everyone here.
That's about it. He was in a hurry to get back.

Jose - If I'm not being too nosey (nosy?) - Did you finally meet with "the doctor"...?

DR Panni - You're not being nosey (nosy) at all... I was just being elusive, I guess.

The doctor and I have yet to meet. Due to the continued illness of the doctor he was covering for, he remained on-call and at the hospital for two more shifts. I think he finally gets to leave this afternoon. And, again, since he was at the hospital, he wasn't able to get back to me until after the fact - well after the fact. Needless to say, being kept in a "waiting pattern" again didn't sit too well with me. Ah, well... So, for now, that's it, I guess. Not really upset, just more annoyed than anything else.

And this stuff with the doctor actually ties in with my friend, Don, who I was waiting for two weeks ago. And, from whom I have yet to hear back from. He was supposed to come down to Richmond for a job interview in the morning, and we were gonna spend the rest of the day together playing catch up. -We haven't seen each other since finishing college. I even tried calling him when I was back up in DC earlier this week, but still no return phone call. I'm actually getting worried now. So... I'm just hoping that all is well, and that "something" just happened, and that's he in his own world right now for whatever reason.

But all this waiting... ah, well...

Amazing that Ed Sullivan and Lucille Ball, two of CBS' biggest stars, would be on Flip Wilson's NBC variety program, but I'm sure in addition to salary, they got commitments from him to appear on their shows, too.

Thanks for the info on the TCM poll on DVD possible releases. I'll go to the website later today and see what's being offered as nominees.

Ah ...DRJOSE....I bought the CATCH ME IF YOU CAN soundtrack...it is very catchy and a fun listen.

I may actually have to pick myself up a copy now too.

I avoided seeing this movie when it originally came out since I was still put off by Leonardo DiCaprio-mania/over-exposure. -And I still can't get his "Growing Pains" image out of my mind. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by both Mr. DiCaprio and Mr. Walken in this movie. Both of them seemed to be not so "them" - not using their usual bag of acting tricks. It ended up being a nice way to spend the afternoon.

Matt H. · « **Reply #70 on:** July 03, 2004, 01:39:45 PM »

I watched CATCH ME IF YOU CAN some weeks ago on HBO. As a total NON-fan of Leonardo DiCaprio, I have to say I enjoyed the movie much more than I expected.

OK... I need to head out for some food.. I'm thinking of stopping by the seafood shop down the street. They cook things to order - just pick what you want out of the case, and then they fry, steam, boil, broil or bake it for you. I know it's hot outside, but I'm in the mood for some calamari, hush puppies and cole slaw. Hmmm...

Laters...

Welcome back TCB!

Oh DRCP - I love helping director friends with auditions for exactly the reasons you said. And it's wonderful being in that situation with NO PRESSURE. And yes, the people you read with are very happy to have someone neutral and ON THEIR SIDE up there with them!

I never realized how T A L L Mr Leo DiCaprio is until I saw CATCH ME IF YOU CAN. He must be over 6 feet tall, and I never noticed it before in other movies....his grown up movies, that is.

DRJANE what is a Walla Walla onion onion?

MATTH - yes....remember when Flip did the Here's Lucy....he played Prissy on a GONE WITH THE WIND segment! And the Bobs who wrote for I LOVE LUCY - Weiskopf and Schiller - are two of the scribes on The Flip Wilson show.

MattH, I voted for Lust For Life, Random Harvest, The Letter, Ivanhoe, and King's Solomon's Mines. Does anyone really care whether or not Operation Crossbow gets on DVD or not?

DRJANE what is a Walla Walla onion onion?

WHAT'S A WALLA WALLA ONION?? It's a sweet onion grown in Walla Walla, Washington (hence the name). There are other sweet onions, but it can't call itself a Walla Walla sweet unless it's grown in that area (unless I'm wrong...someone, please correct me, if necessary). Anyway, they're supposed to be so mild that you can eat them like an apple. I haven't tried that, but they are very mild and delish! Click HERE for more information!

TCB! At long last, my cyber-father is back! Heck, if I'd known it was just your monitor that was kablooey and not your computer, I would've offered to bring my spare over when I head for Tacoma later today. Have one in my basement, just sitting there like so much dust-collecting fish.

Since I'm going stir-crazy over here in Eastern Washington, and there's not a darn thing festive to partake of for the 4th, I am headed west to the Oma of Tac for the weekend. DR Ann has assured me that the fireworks at the waterfront are quite enjoyable, and, if nothing else, it'll get me out of this town of mine for a day or two. Perhaps we'll bump into TCB lurking about!

And Welcome Back, TCB!!

Barbecue foods that I like to cook? Basically, just hot dogs, hamburgers, s'mores...standard, simple things like that. Nothing fancy...nothing with too many ingredients (other than my dad's potato salad, but he makes that, not me).

Official Topic of the Day: Favorite John Huston Movies (that I've seen):
Does Casino Royale count? He's listed in imdb.com as one of the directors (or something like that).
The African Queen
Key Largo
The Maltese Falcon
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre

As for Gene Kelly Dances, I don't remember specific dances, but I really like these movies that he was in (that I've seen):
An American in Paris
Brigadoon
For Me and My Ga
On the Town
Singin' In the Rain (just about anything in this!)

Looking at the list of titles offered, I have to assume that there is another major Judy Garland box being readied for release within the next year. (I know there's a Garbo box coming in the fall.) No, Garland, no Kelly, no Astaire among those twenty possible selections. Also, only THE LETTER among the Bette Davis classics they have at their disposal, and none of their Joan Crawford MGM or Warner titles . I was hoping for THE PRIVATE LIVES OF ELIZABETH AND ESSEX for Davis and FLAMINGO ROAD for Crawford. I'll bet on DVD that Technicolor used in ELIZABETH AND ESSEX would be dazzling.

I saw Operation Crossbow for the first time earlier this year. Strange movie....all about the German rockets. I would like to see it again, but as for it being on DVD instead of something else....I agree.

I got my WHERE EAGLES DARE last year, so I am happy for awhile.

Just had my car washed in honor of the 4th. I park it in the driveway under very leafy trees. So it gets covered in bird poop and sap. Not a pretty sight on a white car. But now it's virginally white (and I've parked it across the street where there are no trees).

Good Afternoon!

I'm back from my walk and my dinner. And, yes, I did end up getting the calamari from the local fish-monger. It was quite good, and a great bargain too.

So... I'm pretty sure I'm gonna head back up Fairfax tonight, probably around 9:00. I do need to make a run to Ukrop's to pick up some groceries that I know are on sale this week - I can never resist a sale

. This way, I'll have some fresh pantry supplies for next week.

I've never eaten a Walla Walla onion like an apple before, but I have had raw slices atop salads and sandwiches, and they are indeed on the mild and sweet side. Being in Virginia, I usually have easier access to (real) Vidalia onions, but with the produce biz being what it is nowadays, there are other sweet onions that I've come across on my grocer's shelves: Oso Sweet, Hawaiian Sweets, etc.

*There's a restaurant in DC called Vidalia run by chef, Geoff Buben. They underwent a major remodeling of the dining room last year, but the food that comes out of the kitchen is still as good as it was when the place first opened. And during Vidalia onion season, some of the creations that get brought to your table are simply amazing. If you do happen to make it there one day, if the Baked Vidalia onion is available be sure to order it. So simple, and sooo good. In fact, NPR did a story on it a few years ago! -I wonder if the recipe is still available somewhere on their website. Hmm...

Leonardo is six foot one. He'd still be called "short stuff" in my family, of course.
