Had a fun dinner with the Staitmans.  Then we decided to show the girls Poltergeist.  It's now thirty-two years old - can you believe it?  Of course, save for the classic clown moment, they didn't find it scary at all.  They were engrossed and liked it, but no scary for them.  That is because there is so much scary stuff that goes much further on TV today - that's what kids find scary.  In thirty-two years THEIR kids will watch that stuff because their parents will tell them how scary it is and guess what - it won't be scary to their kids.  Just like Psycho was a totally traumatizing viewing experience to everyone who saw it in 1960 - now?  Kids laugh at it.  In 1981 Poltergeist was a perfect blend of comedy, horror, and thrills - I was there opening night and the screams were so loud (especially in the face sequence and then the clown moment) you couldn't even hear half the movie.

IF I LOVED YOU

Good evening, BK and  DR's all,

One more pop-in, before my last regular rehearsal for the sinking ship play. As good as it is on some levels, it's another case of too much "staging" for a reading. For instance, being asked to literally stage "strangle" someone with two hands... while reading my lines from the script. Really?
Too much. Gaaah.

BK, thank you for reminding me about the Speed test. I took one again and found my speed is okay right now, but I'm still looking for better access than Time Warner. They've been a nightmare.

Thank you too for the great Kritzerland songs. Can't wait to dive into those.

I LOVED the Fiddler Chorus Line Number, being a former Fiddler-ite for years. haha

And Linked-in? I dunno. I still say yes, to connections I know, but have no idea why. If I signed up for and spent time on all of those sites that people beg you to join, I'd never get out the door.

I hope everyone is having a smashingly good day.

Speaking of connections, my ex-wife is trying to friend me on Facebook.  What is that about?

I got the first disc of the first season of "Fringe" from Netflix and I'm watching the pilot episode.  There are a couple of characters who have since left the show but I got this because I knew that the beginning of the series was very different than what it ended up being and I wanted to see what it was like.  One character, Broyles, is very different in this pilot episode.  He's the tall black agent in charge of the Fringe division.  In the pilot, he has a southern accent!  I don't know how long that lasted, but probably not for very long.
