Good news, DR DANISE!!

By all means DRPANNI you MUST go and tell us all about the movie...all about the movie AND the audience!

Jerry Goldsmith did some of my favorite television scores including THE MAN FROM UNCLE, TWILIGHT ZONE, and DR KILDARE.

In addition to scores already mentioned I also liked THE OMEN, MATINEE, THE BLUE MAX, and tv again QB VII.

Attack of the Puppet People is a fun movie....DRELMORE, the ending is a bit truncated and unsatisfying in a way because producer Gordon planned a sequel that AIP nixed after the smaller than expected box office of the original.

I LOVE Hamentaschen.
I also love a good kugel.

Prune or poppy seed?
Noodle or potato?

DR Stuart, the one I live with - well, his grandmother was Jewish, but he grew up in a non-Jewish home - loves matzah brei.

How non-Jewish? Gord's mother's mother was Jewish, so according to Jewish law so is his mother. But she knows little about Judaism, and celebrates Christian holidays. Once, though, in my honor she borrowed a Jewish cookbook and baked Hamentaschen (a large three-pointed filled cookie made on Purim). It was by far the best I had ever tasted, and I asked her the name of the cookbook. It was published by Hadassah, and she had followed the recipe precisely - apart from using lard in the pastry.


I thought you said God's mother's mother was Jewish, and I was thinking, "Yeah... and so???"

Glad to see you back home, Danise, safe and sound.

I had always wondered about that! A sequel would have explained whatever became of those other puppet people!

Sturgeon eggs are fine with me.  It's the eggs from poultry I can't stand.  This whole TOD is grossing me out.  I DO love the "next egg" tirade in Lost in America, though.

I'm assuming this is the same Little Women where the producers fired the writers.  Not unusual in the movie business, but in the theatre biz... well, I don't think I'll be attending that one, Sutton or no.

The race to make it home before sundown on the eve of the Jewish New Year is why it is called Rush-A-Homah.

About a year or two ago, the NY Times featured an entire section on the sweet vs. savory matzah brei debate. For the four goyim in the audience (Far as I'm concerned, if you're a musical theatre fan, you're Jewish.): like crepes, matzah brei can be prepared in sweet or savory forms. The sweet type has been well described here, but the savory generally involves fried onions and lots of pepper. Each variety has its staunch supporters, and at one of my family Seders, the wife and a guest nearly came to blows over this (okay, slight exaggeration, but it gives me the chance to kvell over the fact that the guest was Ms. Barbra Rosenblat, who appears on the Lucky Stiff cast recording, thereby giving me one degree of separation from bk). This debate is quite similar to the "sour cream vs. apple sauce on the latkes" fight which routinely breaks out between the missus and myself during Chanuka.

Oh, and favorite egg dishes: hardboiled and pass the salt for the simple dishes, and a nice omelet, just set, with fresh tarragon, for the fancy.

Caught up with the posts. Script is done. I did quite a bit of adding on this morning. Suddenly saw one of the characters as being played by James Garner (possible - he's worked with the producers and is a friend of theirs) - which suggested a couple of good new scenes for him.
 I just ate for the first time today and I shouldn't do that....Because I get WEIRD with no food in the morning. (Low blood sugar, i think.) And now, even though I've eaten some oatmeal, I'm still feeling decidedly weird. I've also just discovered that I've lost hundreds of irreplacable saved emails by following the instructions of a @*#@ AOL Tech Support Person.
Oh - Adelphia Tech came and the repairman told me he could do nothing. GAve me a number to call. Other than finishing the script, that's the kind of day it's been.
I must change clothes now, and go out to make copies of the script and deliver it. Have I mentioned I feel weird? I didn't even walk today. And I NEVER miss my walk.

I STILL don't understand the sour cream, and thusly prefer the apple sauce.

And DR Elan, I did neglect to mention in my original matzah brei post that there are those who prefer it with salt & pepper.  Never heard of the onions before, but as long as they are carmelized in schmaltz, what could be bad?

And while we are on the subject (sorta) I have never really understood those who break the fast on Yom Kippur (since my brother brought up the High Holy Days) with a meat meal.  

If ever there is a time for bagels, lox and cream cheese, surely that is it!

DRPANNI congratulations on finishing the script!  Lost emails....I hear that.  Same thing happened to me.  The only thing I learned from it is to save IMPORTANT ones in a folder in another file.  Not a guarantee, but a safeguard.

Hmmmmmmmmm....I am not feeling so well today...but my computer is working up to par.  Must be the heat.  Just feel blah!

DR ELMORE I do think that Albert Glasser's music and John Hoyt's performance help make AOPP memorable for me.  And MB - didn't I read about the sequel in Kenny's book?  Or was it someplace else?  Maybe it was in Tom Weaver's Monster Movie Makers volume.  June is so cute...as an actress she is a good secretary, but she is very pretty.  And I always liked John Agar!  And the song - featured on the latest BK CD - is so much fun.  I like the alternate title:  I Was A TeenAge Doll!

Hello, everyone!

I'm sure back and it's way Too Darn Hot in Paree!

And that computer here at the hotel is still VERY slow!

I'm sad for I just heard of the passing, at 71, of one of our great crooners, Sacha Distel.

He was the voice for Louis Jourdan for the French soundtrack to Gigi; actually Maurice Chevalier was his God Father and Sacha could do a mean Chevalier...

He was also quite famous in the UK, where he appeared in productions of A Chorus Line and Chicago!

Unknown to most here, he was also a great jazz guitarist and he will be remembered for "A good Live" which he composed!

Sad indeed!

More later!

One of my most memorable community theatre experiences was playing for a production of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF at the local Jewish Community Center.  I have to say that those JCC ladies really fed me well during the whole rehearsal period - which was almost three months long!  -They only rehearsed two nights a week.  Some of the best tuna melts on bagels I've ever had.

However, since Purim fell during the middle of the rehearsal period... Hamentaschen! YUM!!!!  I had never had them before, and I just kept helping myself, and they just kept bringing them in for me.  Prune, cherry, and poppy seed.

And then I noticed that one of the local grocery store chains would carry them in the "off season", but they were labeled as "bishop's hats".  HA! ;)
