When Xerox was the sponsor for Joseph Papp's MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, with Sam Waterston and Kathleen Widdoes, in 1973, there were three commercials:beginning, end, and act break, something these asshole sponsors of today should pay tribute to. There were 45 minutes of commercials in the SOM broadcast.

At least they didn't come in the middle of songs or scenes. :-)

Actually, there are 2 "Holy Grail" movies that I'd like to see (legally) released onto even DVD.

PORGY AND BESS with Sidney Poitier and Dorothy Dandridge
BLACK TUESDAY with Edward G. Robinson


Unfortunately the Gershwin estate won't allow it. The TV version from a decade or so back was awful.

I have seen clips of the movie on YouTube

The "tv version" was a broadcast from NY City Opera.

At Long Last Love, which has been released

Robert Altman's HEALTH and Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean, neither of which has been. And some reports say HEALTH has been lost.

I've been to the market, I now have milk and other necessities and I'm ready to tackle LITTLE ME this morning.

The Cast Recording List has certainly brought out a great number of moronic twits, asses, and jerks in the past two days! Who knew THE SOUND OF MUSIC could rally so many fools?


The same fools followed the theater showing of "Merrily We Roll Along."

I DVR'ed "The Sound of Music" but am waiting a few days to let it settle before going back to it.  It's going to be great to study certain bits, and to see things that happened that people have been talking about but which I didn't catch during the broadcast.  And to fast-forward through the commercials.  (Which I muted and didn't even look at, anyhoo, so at least I didn't suffer along with the rest of the populace.)  I liked a great deal of it and was mostly appalled by the imbalance (and noise) in the audio.  How that could have happened is beyond me.  I haven't yet heard whether it's something that can be corrected for the DVD.

Speaking of which ..... DVD, and no Blu-Ray?  For a high-definition broadcast of one of the highest-profile events in recent times?  Say what?  Say again?  Where am I?  1998?

I am rewriting my proposal for my final project for my master's one more time. It seems that every round of suggestions from the people running the graduate program are to dumb down everything in the proposal and to make it as simplistic as possible. Well, if they want dumb, they came to the right person, I guess.

Glad I could get back on to share this with all of you. The site appeared to have been down for quite a while.

Now I am off to deal with horrific traffic. I will probably decide after I get back that it wasn't worth it. Which makes me sad.

You know, Snaggletooth, you should have to eat that Tinner just for posting that photo. Blech. :)
