I have read the SPIDER MAN book, and I think it lets us know how wrong a show can go...and how it happens. The elephant in the room for me is that it was not a good idea to begin with.... The author doesn't specifically point fingers.....but certainly "determined" Julie Taymor seems to be the main villain in the piece.

This sounds like an interesting book. Although for me $11 for the e-book seems like too much.

It's not worth $11 DR JENNIFER unless you are VERY interested in the subject. I would think the library or a used copy would suffice if there is no rush to read it.

TOD:

The Producers - the original movie not the musical or the musical movie.

Parody seems to me to be more successful in short form. I am not saying I don't laugh at the movies.....I just like parts of them more than I do the ENTIRE movie.....individually.

Robert, we're usually there for about ninety minutes, so until three-thirty.

Back from the lunch meeting and we've now assigned and figured out all the doubling and tripling happening in Li'l Abner. Went to Fred 62 diner, which has become a VERY odd place with a much-different menu. Won't be returning.

Richard and I just came from a delightful lunch with DR Jane and her ever-lovin' Keith! We met at the Golden Lamb in Lebanon, OH.

I'll do my best to get there, BK! Thanks.

I tried to watch the GUYS & DOLLS BluRay last night....but didn't get very far. The quality isn't very good. I think Frank Sinatra got better looking as he got older, here he is not at his best, and the weird costumes don't help.

Vivian Blaine may have been a stitch onstage, but in the movie she is just irritating. Marlon Brando is always interesting to watch, but I keep asking why? Same with Jean Simmons....there had to be better choices....

Oh-yes! Too much to be done and not enough in the budget. Why not determine the work to be done, then settle the budget instead of working ass backwards?

Thanks, DR JRand! In the process of trying to get this photo posted, I discovered that the "old" way of posting photos here works again. I never did learn the method that involved PhotoBucket...

It also sounded to me like a pretty short time frame.

For a very funny show, it's such a serious movie.

Most of the music comes from their personal libraries but they didn't budget for work like copying new parts a half step lower or the necessary work to reduce a reed section of eight players to five/

In the morning, I have an eye appointment. When I called to make the appointment, they said that today was exactly one year and one day since my last appointment. I couldn't get one any earlier.

Well, I've had my appointment and will get new glasses. One eye changed by .25, which means I don't really need to get new glasses, but my last pair broke and I don't have a spare pair. And I don't love the frames that I have now. Since only my lenses are covered, I did have to pay for the frames, but even though they're not covered, I got a 20% discount! They'll take 7-10 business days. Can't wait!

Thursday morning greetings! Today I will be finalizing my prep for the AAUW state convention, which starts tomorrow evening in Springfield, OH. It's hosted by the branches of southwest Ohio, of which Middletown is one of the most robust. My friend Anita is going with me and we have a car full of stuff to transport, including this beautiful basket that our members are donating to the silent auction:

Wow! That's a beautiful basket! Hope you get lots of bids! Or at least one very high bid.

TOD:

My absolute favorite, beyond any shadow of a doubt, is "Young Frankenstein". Everything about it is wonderful...the b/w photography, the sets/art direction, the performances AND the phenomenal John Morris score. Special favorite moment is the "Puttin' on the Ritz" number.

I'm also fond of "Blazing Saddles" and all the bits with Mongo, especially.

and then there is "High Anxiety" -- the Cloris Leachman/Harvey Korman bits are a scream and a half. I also love it that it's a lovely takeoff on Hitchcock and, again, John Morris' score is perfection in its homage to Bernard Herrmann.

I agree with all three of these and in this order. I'll also add "The Producers" and "Silent Movie."
