And one for Arthur...I saw "King Arthur" today with my niece.

George · « **Reply #91 on:** July 18, 2004, 05:21:16 PM »

I'll post later about "King Arthur." I'm going with my family to the last day of "Lake Fair" here in Olympia. We're all going again so that we can get another Demo-Burger and I want an Elephant Ear. I don't think I'll have the big giant basket of fries this time. They were very good (they were most obviously real potatoes and fresh, as well) but just way too much! Anyway, gotta go!

Colin said he assumed that doughnuts and pie were a part of DR Jose's contract. Surely a major clause that was non negotiable.

BONUS FEATURE! -- ON LOCATION WITH DR JOSE!

DR Jose, while toiling away at the piano, reports that bk is forcing him - yes FORCING him - to eat Krispy Kreme donuts.
According to bk, DR Jose has eaten 3. DR Jose categorically denies this and says it was only 2. There is talk of going for PIE after rehearsal.

These two together are going to be a very bad influence on each other. They should take a break and see SUPER SIZE ME.

I shall be interested in hearing DR George's views re Arthur. From what I have seen (and heard from the dialogue) I have no intention of seeing this version of the legend.

I still prefer "The Mists Of Avalon" to all other films about the subject matter. "The Sword In The Stone" is still a favourite and the last few minutes of "Camelot" make the journey worthwhile.

Matt H I’m so pleased to read a positive review of THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE. I’m looking forward to the movie now. It is in Father's Little Dividend that I think Spencer Tracy was at is best.

DearReaderLaura it sounds as if you are having a nice Sunday.

Thank you Danise. It is such a good feeling when you have all your email addresses. Good luck getting the print size larger.

Robin it is good to have you back.

Tomovoz please tell Colin, thanks for the laugh.

Okay Panni, you can tell Bruce your cheerleading efforts worked. I must be off for awhile now and feed Bogie.

Just got back from walking Abie. I'm told by my landlord that the turtle liked to sleep on my doorstep before his two-year disappearance. As the white cat also sleeps there, I'd better watch my step in the morning if I'm not to follow DR RLP's example. Besides, what insurance would believe me when I told them I fell over a turtle and a cat!

A friend of mine just challenged me with this query

Name A Broadway Show Tune that has the same melody(notes) as GETTING TO KNOW YOU but has a different tempo and syncopation???.I think it sounds like a tango and I believe it's a duet. ANY Guesses??

bk · « **Reply #98 on:** July 18, 2004, 05:37:57 PM »

Home briefly and now off to pie and discussions with Tammy on the way over and back. Today was fun - none of us really like blocking or choreography days, but it was great to see one of these what ifs on its feet, and the juxtaposition of correct choreography in the wrong music is really funny to me. We began with the hardest number, so everything hereafter will ease up. It will take the company a bit to get used to all the steps and staging, but when they do it will be killer. More later. I'll be back by seven-thirty and then we can have a frenzy and a half.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #99 on:** July 18, 2004, 05:38:56 PM »

Some BK questions for today. Do you have either of the compilations on RAVEN records (from Australia of course) of obscure Bacharach tracks and of Jimmy Webb songs? I didn't know about them until yesterday.

Here are the first three paragraphs of the VARIETY review of THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE. The reviewer is Todd McCarthy, a writer who I believe is astute, level-headed, and practical in his evaluations with eyes on both the artistic achievements (or lack thereof) of films and also of their potential box-office grosses.

Well, the film lost me as an audience member once I heard that Jonathan Demme was directing. I'll never forget THE TRUTH ABOUT CHARLIE; dammit, I wish I COULD! ! ! !

Joy wants to throw out our issue of the New York Post declaring Gephardt Kerry's running mate, and I'm having flashbacks to the time my mother forced me to throw out the Nolan Ryan rookie season baseball card. What should I do?

Who the hell is Gephardt Kerry?

No, more seriously, everyone will have a copy of this paper. It's monitary value will be zilch. If you want it for some sentimental reason, then keep it. Otherwise, why bother?

well all right DR TD - of course DRPANNI is correct in that he had no business in the show in the first place...

IF he had no business in the show in the first place, HE SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN CAST!
This is two strikes so far for Stro, anybody remember who replaced Nathan Lane in THE PRODUCERS? ? ?

I'm off to find another DVD to watch before SIX FEET UNDER comes on. Have no idea what I'll end up picking.

I watched THE ENGLISH PATIENT.

All I can think of at the moment is Hernado's Hideway Arnold and it is not that. Of course it should be a duet - it takes two to tango after all. I suspect it is a comedy song. Too early in the morning for me - even too early for me "elevenses"

who replaced Lane?

Good news from my local post office. I can now send CDs at letter rates. Mail is on its ways to a few DRs.

I'll wait for a few more reviews on The Manchurian Candidate. Todd McCarthy is a Demme acolyte, despite the Truth about Charlie comment. I hope he's right, I hope it's a total surprise, in a good way. But part of me thinks he simply can't be. We shall see.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #110 on:** July 18, 2004, 05:48:25 PM »

How was I supposed to know that three question marks would end up being a face? Guess it was not an inappropriate place anyway.

RE: dem bones, dem bones, them shattered bones:

Yep, been there. Only it was my shoulder that got scrunched. So vibes. [move=left,scroll,6,transparent,100%]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/move]

To make things worse, I'm right-handed, and it was my right shoulder. The cast wrapped around my torso, down my arm (holding it up with my arm parallel with the ground), then a nice bend at the elbow, with everything braced with a stick so that the arm wouldn't weigh itself down and re-dislocate my shoulder from it's healing position. Writing with my right hand was a disaster, of course, since the cast looped around my hand, making it impossible to use, opposable thumb or no. Figuring out how to write with my left hand, even to print, was fun.

As was feeding myself. Fortunately, I was recouperating at my parent's, and Mom was a good food-cutter-upper.

And forget about bathing. Stinky feet was not the problem, stinky pits was.

The worst was when the cast was removed. My shoulder muscles had atrophied, and the pain was gigantic. Just be forwarned on that one.

Rehab, on the other hand, wasn't too bad. Try to arrange for a cutie or hunk as your specialist.

Panni do the cat and the turtle get along then? They might have scared each other.

RLP when I went to therapy for my hand my doctor told me to take a pain pill before the therapy. It really made a difference. I have had physical therapy for other problems and Tylenol was more than enough.

Greetings from wherever I am! I don't have time to read the notes because my dad is paying six dollars an hour for me to sign on.

I am at the family reunion somewhere in Kansas. I am surrounded by relatives. I'll have a full report when I get home and my dad doesn't have to shell out six bucks for me to sign on. I shall have stories, I can tell you that. And pictures.
