Is that her character name?

Does she sing through her nose in the movie?

while they showed the photos it was the theme from Somewhere in Time, which was appropriate since the writer of Somewhere in Time passed away

BTW, a story that I cut in AKA DOC POMUS was the fact that Doc gave Bette her start. He discovered her in the baths, got her first recording deal, refined her act, her wardrobe, her arrangements, cleaned up her act and got her her first appearance on Johnny Carson. They she completely turned her back on him and kicked him to the curb. I am no longer a fan.

why did you cut it?

Vixmom, Edisaurus is no longer a fan of Bette's.

why is she eating her microphone?

Oh I had to rewind, but I saw the Sarah Jones at the bottom of the screen

Eye-deena Menzel.

Ginny, we would have kept it in if she had given us an interview. But as it was, it was just a bummer of a story. 3/4ths of the way through the film it started becoming one story after another with no flow, a "string of pearls" as a director friend of mine said. She was right, so I completely dismantled it and tried to build bigger themes and if I couldn't tie a story in with anything else, it was dropped.

Nice that they showed the "live" musicians. I wonder if they're playing from across the street somewhere.

Travolta lost his contacts on the way? He did a complete Swedish Chef number on Idina's name.

Edi it was a box at the bottom of the screen after they showed the standing O. It said "Sarah Jones" and "complete in memoriam gallery at Oscar.com" It also had a little photo of her

Is that 6 for Gravity now?

Mispronouncing her name is really unforgivable. He knows ahead of time who he's introducing and can practice the name if he needs to!

I think the orchestra is in the Capitol Records building, right? I have a fondness for it because of Johnny Mercer.

Breathlessly waiting for bk's "take" on "Let It Go," hearing it for the first time.

Yes - because of her treatment of Doc Pomus I am assuming but was the story cut from the documentary? (I am sorry to say I have not yet seen it-)

Anti-climactic Oscars. Even the songs are boring. At least we got to see John Williams (that is, those of us who are soundtrack geeks).

bk · « **Reply #1074 on:** March 02, 2014, 08:20:35 PM »

Okay, I've heard nothing but that Let It Go is the best thing since Menken and Ashman, so imagine my surprise when I heard a tuneless, meandering song with awful "empowering" lyrics and no ending. I have never been a fan of Idina Menzel and if she held the mic any closer to her mouth it would have been down her throat. And what did John Travolta call her? Do these people never look at the names in advance of going out on that stage? It's not like they surprised him - they must have given him his copy.

AH! Thansk for the explanation

BTW you keep mistaking me for Ginny--- I cut my hair in a similar style and let the natural color come in ... sincerest form of flattery ya know....
