well time to gird my loins and stride forth to slay dragons and whatnot

I girded my loins once. There wasn't much striding after that. I walked rather oddly for a whole week.

Good Wednesday morning!

I can tell I've been lax on wishing others well of late:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~Best Wishes and Major Karmic VIBES for all what needs 'em~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have two episodes left of DOWNTON ABBEY season 3 to go! Then it is on to season 4.

I am ever grateful for my co-worker finally talking me into watching this show.

Future Kritzerland release idea:

"The Boy Friend" -- complete score as heard in the film.

And congratulations to your co-worker for having so much more influence on you than the dozens of us who have raved about it every year since it debuted!

Good morning, all.

Vibes to so many of us, including Vixmom, Kay Cole and Elmore. If I have missed anyone, mea culpa.

BK, I love the Li'l Abner updates and it's obvious you are having the time of your life. Is there any other show that you have not gotten a chance to direct that you would like to?

LOL! Well, I usually count on HHW to supply the bad influence, instead.

There are a few, including The Music Man, Drat! The Cat!, Annie Get Your Gun.

I'm up after about seven hours of sleep. Too much to do.

Home from physical therapy. I stopped at the drug store by the bus stop and bought some necessary items like bandaids and shoelaces.

The super says the supplies have not yet arrived to fix the ceiling and I am getting tired of this mess. I am sick of digging through boxes and bags to find items I need in the bathroom, and I want to clean up the apartment, something I will not do until the clutter is taken care of.

bk · « **Reply #75 on:** April 23, 2014, 09:39:35 AM »

Vixmom, we will be doing an archival tape of the show - not sure if that will be viewable or not.

bk · « **Reply #76 on:** April 23, 2014, 09:40:53 AM »

Kay got back to me today - she can be back with us on May 5th, which isn't so terrible, so we've decided that I'll get everything on its feet and she can come back then and finesse anything. We'll be in run-throughs that week so she still has two-and-a-half weeks to play around before we go into tech and that should be fine.

It just makes every single day or evening from now until then really intense for me in terms of staging every single minute of every single rehearsal, but I've certainly done that before and it's just the way it will be. I'll come right home after tonight's rehearsal and do the Facebook event page for Kritzerland, then spend the rest of the evening sketching out the Sadie Hawkins' Day ballet - the other stuff is easy to do, but that one I have to know what's happening all during it - it's really not going to be anything like the Michael Kidd thing - and because it isn't I'll probably cut a minute or two out of it, as we did with Rag Offen the Bush.

I just said goodbye to my former super and his wife. I think they're happy to be flying back to Serbia but I will miss them enormously.

Hello all! I have been recovering from a very busy weekend. I'm very sorry that I was unable to check in with everyone here. Today is the first day back to my normal. My normal is what I like to tolerate. No more house guests or appointments.

Dan M · « **Reply #83 on:** April 23, 2014, 11:09:28 AM »

I appreciate all of the kind DRs who asked about me, and I especially thank DR vixmom for the lovely PM. I am okay and my health seems to be good. It was just very tiring to have people here and having to attend events.

Dan M · « **Reply #84 on:** April 23, 2014, 11:11:33 AM »

As DR singdaw pointed out a day or so ago [I took time to ketchup], it really is quite tiring to "put on" a holiday and to be around others "putting on" a holiday. In some ways that dovetails with trying to hard to make a funny movie, as some discussed in the "don't get the cult status" of a movie, TV show, etc.

Dan M · « **Reply #85 on:** April 23, 2014, 11:12:22 AM »

As a reward to myself last night I watched a documentary that I had wanted to see all last year when I was in hospital, ROOM 237.

Dan M · « **Reply #86 on:** April 23, 2014, 11:17:07 AM »

Whether or not you are a Kubrickian (or Kubrickite), the documentary is very well done. If you are a fan of Kubrick, it is a lot of fun. The basic take-away is something that I've known for years, and I'm sure you've known this too, is that Jim Nabors is not a straight man. Yes, Andy Griffith was the straight man, so, no real shocker or spoiler there. [as typing stops, tongue is taken out of cheek]

Dan M · « **Reply #87 on:** April 23, 2014, 11:27:02 AM »

To revive a topic from 3 days ago, I guess I have always been a Kubrick geek. I can understand why many do not "get" his movies or why he has a cult status. ROOM 237 is a fascinating deconstruction by fans with varied backgrounds and how they have filtered out meanings that may or may not be in Kubrick's version of THE SHINING. Some theories are seemingly better than others, but are no less credible than reading art through a Freudian filter or Marxist filter or whatever is the filter du jour. Is the creator of the art making a self statement, a tangible document of what the brain synapses are at a given moment, or a distillation of the zeitgeist of the time?

I appreciate that really great or idiosyncratic art can be interpreted in many ways. Just look at how many so-called critics have interpreted Grant Wood's "American Gothic" or Whistler's "Mother".

Dan M · « **Reply #88 on:** April 23, 2014, 11:33:08 AM »

Of the movies that I can recall, the ones that have attained cult status that I do not like are mainly those by Tarantino and Scorsese. I have never liked any Soderbergh, yes even "Erin Brockovich" because it was just so obvious with Julia Roberts with her "look at me, I'm giving you an Oscar-worthy performance". The only actor with any self-respect in that movie was the great Albert Finney. Had he not been in the film, I would not have agreed to lose 2 hours and 11 minutes of my life span to watch it.
