And there's always another page.

Namely, Two.

(Which rhymes, most appropriately, with Namely You.)

We just had the worst hailstorm here in Austin that I have ever seen.

The stones were coming down in sheets; thought my windows were going to break.

We lost electricity for about an hour.

Wow. Has the whole storm passed or did you just get your power back?

Scary weather here, too.

TOD:

Two documentaries that I saw last year on Netflix were quite excellent.

Once was about the Freedom Riders during the 1960s and other was about Fred Phelps and his horrifying family.

TOD:

Two that come immediately to mind are the documentary on the recording of the original Company cast album and the Lincoln Center Follies concert, not for their artistry in the art of documentary but mainly for their content.
I just remember how excited I was to see them originally, with all the stars and backstage, behind-the-scenes chatter.

Ditto and Ditto!

I also enjoyed DR EDISAURUS' documentary about Sacco and Vanzetti.

As did I...I also saw (in a real movie theater) A.K.A. Doc Pomus. That was very informative and entertaining.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #43 on:** April 14, 2014, 12:31:01 PM »

Ah yes the COMPANY documentary....and also by the same people....MOON OVER BROADWAY about the Broadway travails of the Ken Ludwig show MOON OVER BUFFALO.

Busy day. Completed medical paperwork. Completed laundry (required HHW mention). Completed and submitted a job application. Walked the dog. Prepared for tonight's seder. Check, check, check, check, and check!

What I like about Rob is he's a real critic - not everything he sees will get a rave and so it will actually mean something when he does give one.

bk · « **Reply #47 on:** April 14, 2014, 12:45:54 PM »

All songs chosen (this was a HARD show), assigned, and now music is being gathered - all we need now is a guest star and frankly with this show I don't even care if we have one.

Happy Monday, All!
Are Mondays ever that? Maybe, if you eat cake.

It's so nice to have a Rob Stevens' review here already. Great addition to the site, BK.

Not much here today, just business mostly. Learned my big solo vampire number yesterday. Easy to learn, because it goes exactly where you think it will. Some nice things in it though.

I'm not sure which night the new Kritzerland show is, but it is likely to be May 4th, and if so, I'll be in vampire-land and will have to miss it. Booooo!

Looks like today is a "have your cake and eat it too" kinda day.

Good afternoon.

Nice review from Mr. Stevens.

My frustration level is rising regarding the actions of people in the workplace. Luckily, I've left a paper trail if anyone wants to challenge me on things. Young and "entitled" people are working my last nerve.

Will shortly be on my way to our first Li'l Abner rehearsal.

On the Tumwater front, Victor Young at Paramount has arrived!

TOD:

My all-time favorite documentary (in reality a documentary series produced by BBC which tends to step away from what the documentarian/presenter is discussing by inserting "a personal view by" or some such language):

CONNECTIONS by James Burke

Dan M · « **Reply #56 on:** April 14, 2014, 01:56:12 PM »

TOD:

My all-time favorite 1A documentary is a kind of cinematic jape by one of my all-time favorite directors, Orson Welles:

F FOR FAKE

This, along with CONNECTIONS, are two documentaries, perhaps non-traditional, that I always find entertaining and see something new in each viewing.

ryacko · « **Reply #57 on:** April 14, 2014, 01:59:02 PM »

I forgot the TOD:

Here's a couple memorable docs, both on music:
Sting's "Bring on the Night"
20 Feet from Stardom

Dan M · « **Reply #58 on:** April 14, 2014, 01:59:36 PM »

I also loved Henri-Georges Clouzot's THE MYSTERY OF PICASSO which shows the artist create an original work for the purpose of filming his process then destroying the art work, thereby the only place that the art work "exists" and doesn't exist, simultaneously, is in the documentary itself.

Dan M · « **Reply #59 on:** April 14, 2014, 02:01:11 PM »

I have seen all of Werner Herzog's documentaries. There is usually something in them to warrant repeat viewings. A more recent one that he made was about the cave paintings in France that was quite good.
