And don't forget that Bruce wrote his own musical version of The Comedy of Errors.

Click on the link and it will thake you to The Comedy of Errors page of the Bruce Kimmel tribute site.

Well, since I wasn't invited to come back to Cowboy U, perhaps they got what they deserved. Hmmm.

The faeries dance brings me to my favorite Shakespearean comedy.

A Midsummers Night Dream.

There is also Hamlet. A fascinating play to watch and to study. It has to be the most quotable play ever written!

Currently playing at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival:

THE COMEDY OF ERRORS
HENRY VI, PART ONE
HENRY VI, PARTS TWO AND THREE
KING LEAR
MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING

So far the only one we have seen is Comedy of Errors. We really must purchase some tickets or we won’t see anything. I want to at least see Much Ado, if it is in traditional costume. This season’s play I most want to see is THE ROYAL FAMILY, for obvious reasons, not included on the list above.

I also think Kenneth Branagh's MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING is the best film version of Shakespeare. His HAMLET and HENRY V are very special as well.

Ditto.

Quote

That remake of A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM is sitting on my to-watch DVD shelf, and I just never seem to get to it.

I think it's pretty good. There's some who quibble and quarrel with the inclusion of a wife for Bottom, but I find it gives the character more poignancy.

Surprises in the Emmy nominations:

JOAN OF ARCADIA getting a Best Drama Series nomination over NIP/TUCK, WITHOUT A TRACE, THE SHIELD, COLD CASE, DEADWOOD, or LAW & ORDER.

Must've been that box with the tree in it that cinched the nomination.

Quote

EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND getting a Best Comedy Series nomination but Raymond (Ray Romano) not getting nominated.

On the other hand, if anyone has seen Romano act... $:-\$

I didn't think that Debra Messing would get nominated this year as she was out for most of it and had very little to do that was worthy due to her pregnancy.

Let me be the first to congratulate our very own Mr. Grant Geissman on his Emmy nomination for Best TV theme from Two and a Half Men (written with two other folks).

Congratulations to Grant Geissman. Good show.

However I think the most interesting category is Best Supporting Actress in a Movie or Mini Series

Mary-Louise Parker, "Angels In America," HBO
Angela Lansbury, "The Blackwater Lightship," CBS
Julie Andrews, "Eloise At Christmastime," ABC
Anne Heche, "Gracie's Choic," Lifetime
Anjelica Huston, "Iron Jawed Angels," HBO

Angela has never won an Emmy despite being nominated over 12 times. Julie has never won an acting Emmy. Anne I think has won two for Another World. Mary-Lousie was nominated for The West Wing and won a Golden Globe for AIA. Angelica has been nominated 4 times for an Emmy and has never won.

Sandra,

Michael Shayne the fairy dance is beautiful and also reminds me of one of my favorites.

I can’t name a favorite as it tends to change from year to year.
There was a time when I could quote a few passages, but sadly, no longer. I did not keep up with my Shakespeare reading, which I am painfully aware of when we go to the plays. The language just doesn’t flow as easily for me now.

Keith just came home which means he also has the mail.

I'm pleased to say mail from California arrives much faster when sent priority.

Panni, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

Can you tell I'm excited?

Matt H. · « **Reply #74 on:** July 15, 2004, 01:32:33 PM »

Yes, bk, it was Glenn Erickson's review that I read. As this isn't the first one of these Columbia/Tri has done, I AM going to jump to conclusions and predict they will screw this up and release it P&S ( 25th Anniversary ANNIE anyone?) Like so many of the e-mail writers who wrote to him about it, I have NO intention of buying this now.

Ii agree, S. Woody, but Romano DID win the Best Comedy Actor Emmy two years ago. I thought it was ludicrous then and I still do.

Actually, this is Angela Lansbury's 17th Emmy nomination. 16 times she has gone home empty-handed.

True, Julie hasn't won an acting Emmy, but she did win as the star of her variety show, so she does have an Emmy at home.

Well, we shall see, re Castle Keep. The difference between this and Annie is that Annie was announced as full screen pan and scan from the beginning. Websites have erred pretty regularly, however, with other Columbia releases, announcing them erroneously as pan and scan only to have the DVD come out in its proper ratio. In fact, it happened as recently as a few weeks ago, when everyone cancelled their preorders based on the erroneous info only to have the DVD show up in its proper ratio and enhanced. It's not over until the fat lady sings.

Congratulations to Mr Grant Geissman!

Well...Debra Messing....well....as Lorraine says to Banjo: "It's too bad your movies aren't as funny as you THINK you are...."

Okay...well off to the Thursday performance of FATHER OF THE BRIDE....hopefully everything will go well again. It's a nice cast...and audiences seem to like it....so....it could (AND HAS) been much worse!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #79 on:** July 15, 2004, 03:05:13 PM »

CASTLE KEEP?

Would also love to see ICE STATION ZEBRA and OPERATION CROSSBOW on DVD....voted for them both at TCM....IIRC....

And I would imagine they each got votes in the double digits.....

Can someone link to a list of Emmy nominees?

I'm currently re-reading a play made out of nothing but Shakespeare's sonnets. They would very much like me to write music for it...

My BK query early yesterday, about the What If song selection process, went unanswered.

Do I have a favorite Shakespeare monologue? Well, I titled one of my shows Lunatics and Lovers.

Off to teach Second City. They next song improv "drop-in" class you can all take (with no commitments or pre-requisites) is Monday, July 26. Check their website

Oh, joy!

I just received "The Meaning of Life," "The Life of Brian" and "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" on DVD from Amazon.com

My life is full.

For now.

Just caught up with the posts and noticed the mention of "The Blackwater Lightship". Hope we get it here - wonderful source material. By coincidence, my copy of the book was returned to me this week after a 4 year absence!

Great acting in Angels and no doubt worth of nominations but for me it had a touch of "the Emperor's New Clothes". The public response here (from comments in the TV papers) was good but not one of my friends thought it that good - and as you can imagine, the subject matter is of their world. The play(s) was thought to be excellent when performed here a few years back. I did not see the stage production.

I am almost done clearing out my closet. Oy vey. There was more junk in there than in the rest of my room. And I found a bunch of my brother's old Legos. They're mine now. Woo hoo!!

Just checking in to say hello. I have a dog sitting by my desk, staring at me in that "feed me" mode. Outside a cat is meowing below my window. It's like the Bronx Zoo here.

As long as it is not a plant saying "feed Me" you should be OK.

Evening all!

Most of the dialogs I like are already gone so may I name my favorite sonnet? I don’t remember the number but it goes:

Let me not to the Marriage of True Minds admit impediments,
Love is not Love which alters when it alteration finds
Or Bends with the Remover to Remove,
Oh, No! It is an ever-fixed mark that looks on Tempests and is never shaken.
It is the Star to every wandering bard who’s worth unknown
Although his height be taken.

Loves not times fool,
Though rosy lips and cheeks within his bending sickle compass come.
Love alters not with these brief hours and weeks but bears out,
Even to the Edge of Doom.

If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ,
Nor no man ever loved.

I did that from memory so it might not be 100% correct.

I’m very tired tonight. Must be the heat.

I’m sorry if I cut you off last night, Jane. One of the reasons I’m glad I have a cable modem instead of a satellite modem. I know our satellite goes off just about every time we have any kind of storm in the area.
