Tammy just asked who that CUTE couple on my computer screen was - I said Jane and Keith.

Barring anything going wrong, I just cast the faboo Susanne Blakeslee, one of the brilliant stars of the LA Forbidden Broadway.

Wrong.  From 8 to 9 is the (lame) From Stargate to Atlantis, which really is about nothing.  The Stargate opener is from 9 to 11.

Where did you read this?  As far as I can tell the entire show is two hours.  Just in case, I told TIVO to record for an extra hour.

TIVO knows what it is doing.  That “lame” show is on right now.  STARGATE will be on from six to eight.  

Bruce are you going to post a photo of you and Tammy working?

I depart presently for the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion at the Los Angeles Music Center.  I shall be in attendance this evening at the Los Angeles Opera for a performance of A Little Night Music.  I shall file a full report, of course, either tonight when I return or, if that is too late, tomorrow morning.

Miss a chance to correct you? Never 8)

Playwright Horizons seems to offer a tape for sale:(I say "seems to " because you have to send them an Email to order anything.)

An why is it billed as a "one-man show" when it has a cast of two?

Confusion abounds, Der Brucer!

If something is only available by e-mailing a theatre (rather than a retailer), does that mean it's commercially available?  

And the answer to how Herringbone could be considered a one-man show is right there in the quote section of your post: the pianist has lines.  Much as I love Skip Kennon, no one would ever consider him an actor.

If anyone here is in posession of a tape containing numbers from Spilt Milk, well, I hope it's listened to real soon!

The Significant Other and myself went off to see a matinee of King Arthur this afternoon.

Lotsa man-candy and male-bonding until Guinevere shows up, and for the requisite sex scene with King Arthur, she's painted blue and looks like she's actually dead. One of the most the most inept sex scenes I've ever watched.

And England is pretty much a shithole. The only break in the overcast skies are as the final battle is being waged, and the sun starts shining through...it's symbolism, get it?

Michael and I had a lot of fun with this movie, but not as much fun as we had imitating the narrator for the trailers, saying "Directed by Ant Juan Few Quah!" in deep portentous voices.

As to this weeks Medea Czech:

On deeveedee, it's all superheroes all the time:
Batman: The Animated Series, Volume One
Challenge of the Super Friends--Season One
Wonder Woman--Season One

and just finishing off the box set of Weissmuller Tarzan films with Tarzan's New York Adventure.

In the CD player
Invasion of the Saucer-Men/It Conquered the World by Ronald Stein
Vic Mizzy Suites and Themes

What I've been reading:

I've just finished Sherlock Holmes and the Terror Out of Time by Ralph E. Vaughn.  An inept Holmes/Professor Challenger/Cthulu pastiche...I've read it, so you don't have to.  It's crap.  

I've just started Nothing Burns in Hell by an old favorite of mine, Phillip Jose Farmer.

Good Evening!

Oohh... Susan Blakeslee!  -The things you find out by reading HHW!!! ;)

I'm still adjusting to the whole West Coast time zone difference thingy.  I keep wanting to call home - or other people and places on the east coast - and then I remember it's not the same time there as it is here.  Ah, well...

I've been spending the afternoon putting together various pieces of music, as well as contacting other people and sources about various peices of music.  All in all, it's been a very a successful "hunt".

And I also got in a nice nap. -As I'm sure BK and Tammy did too. ;)

Well, I still have to do some follow up on some of the research I was doing earlier...

Laters...

I had to set my cable box/DVR to record MONK tomorrow morning, too, since the USA transmission was for some reason interrupted tonight. Very strange night with the cable service.

I was all set to start THE DAY OF THE LOCUST when I heard someone dropping a package on my front stoop. It was my RKO Film Noir boxed set, and so I put LOCUST aside and quickly plucked OUT OF THE PAST from the box and put it in the DVD machine. I've been waiting to see this movie for decades.

And I wasn't disappointed. Lots of twists, turns, and double-crosses, I never knew where the story was going next, and I enjoyed not only the name actors but also wonderful new faces I don't remember seeing in movies before (Paul Valentine in particular). And was Dickie Moore just about the most handsome and soulful young man I've ever seen? I think so. I had no idea he was even in this. Last movie I remember seeing him in was LITTLE ANNIE ROONEY.

As for Jane Greer, well, she may not have had quite the sneaky moxie of Mary Astor in THE MALTESE FALCON, but she certainly ran her a close second.

Stargate SG-1 had a fairly good opener.  They managed to have three plotlines running simultaneously at one point, with good intercutting.  And the changes were dealt with fairly well, explaining the villians and the heroes.

How they open Stargate Atlantis should prove interesting.

GOLDEN RAINBOW.....I love the overture and a couple of the songs....FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE is a cute duet/dance with Eydie & Steve and the boys.  And Eydie does that irritating slide up to a screech that is such a favorite with her....  The description of the show in William Goldman's book THE SEASON is a great read!  He talks about its problems on the road and it's New York run.


GOLDEN RAINBOW had only one problem.... Eydie!

I thought Eydie had some good Ideas.
You Need Hands
You Gotta Have Rain
and of course she knew to blame it on the Bossa Nova.

Much prefer Steve though.

Note: The GOLDEN RAINBOW CD mentioned above (as well as WHAT MAKES SAMMY RUN also sold only on the Steve and Edie website) are CD-ROMS and not playable on all CD Players... plus it will take you forever to get off the Steve & Edie Spam list.

One way to get around this is to create a new e-mail address just to order from this one website (I have Comcast and allow you to have up to seven e-mail addresses at one time).  After you order and have received the item(s), and if you're getting all the spam, just delete the e-mail address!  Your regular e-mail address will not be attached to the order and you'll never get spam from them!  I have four e-mail addresses: one for personal use...HHW and people I know; one for on-line purchasing...ebay, amazon.com, etc.; one for my bills so that I can pay on-line; and one for assorted potential spam stuff (and things I don't want anyone else to know about.  ;) )  If I get to the point of getting too much spam, I only have to delete ONE of the e-mail addresses.  The rest won't be contaminated!
