I think that production of Importance with Bedford's Lady Bracknell is available on digital video for download.

I searched on that and came up with an upcoming production with David Suchet as Lady Bracknell

DR Cilla, I don't think you need to apologize for any comments you posted last night. I also found your summary of the court behavior of your client's family most entertaining.

I thought I was being quite safe, but one never knows

Five pages so far. I'll shower now and get ready for rehearsal. Jenna has cancelled - she's sick and has no voice. I may try to cover her two songs, just in case. As I mentioned, it seemed like every kid was sick the other day. That's why school should be outlawed.

I hope it counts DR ELMORE.....I'm watching the TMZ news scroll for confirmation.

How boring are things in Indiana?

I am watching two back to back episodes of MAMA'S FAMILY......

Well, I'd watch the GOP debate tonight if i thought they might actually kill each other, but i think I will continue with Pie in the Sky.

Seems to me a few serious omissions - no Spielberg in the directing category, which is shameful. Going Clear not nominated for Best Documentary, but the ordinary doc on Nina Simone is. Unbelievable. Actress category is okay, but I'm just over Christian Bale being nominated for anything he does. He was certainly not exceptional.

I liked Brian Bedford in that movie very much....a very strange Ross Hunter production...I even liked the girl in the movie....Julie Sommars.....

I was always resistant to the idea of Lady Bracknell played by a man; to me, Dame Edith Evans owns the role still. That said, Brian Bedford was quite amazing in the last delightful Broadway revival of The Importance of Being Earnest.

I saw that on IMDB and was surprised. I didn't realize it was a recording of the Broadway show.

And the other big controversy is the complete lack of racial diversity in any of the acting categories. Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs Addresses Diversity Issue:

There should be a series called "How Boring Are Things in Indiana?".

Bedford also had cancer, however, compared to 69 eighty isn't so bad. Still.....

Not having seen those movies I don't have an opinion. Bruce have you seen them? Would you have nominated Smith over Bale?

I wouldn't hesitate to miss THAT show DR CHAS SMITH!

Jrand74 · « **Reply #112 on:** January 14, 2016, 04:24:43 PM »

I haven't seen many of the films or performances.....but reading MR BK's comments about many of them almost makes me feel that I have.

After I read what he writes....and then see the movie....I almost ALWAYS agree with what he said about it....

I think the lack of diversity is just a fact of the business - you can't get a nomination if the members of your branch don't vote for you....and no matter what the agenda may be - and I think it's more financially motivated than racially or politically motivated - if the votes aren't there....you're a presenter.

DR DRUXY a publicity man named Bob Guttman was the guest programmer on TCM this week.

He was pretty much of a pill.....they should have asked you.

Hello, everyone.

I, too, was sad to hear about Alan Rickman. He had quite a distinctive character. He'll be missed.

I know nothing about David Bowie except his name. I was surprised at how many ardent fans he has.

Jeanne · « **Reply #116 on:** January 14, 2016, 04:36:24 PM »

There's a clip from THE REVENANT on the NY Times site. The scenery is gorgeous. Nothing in the clip is violent, but it may give some DRs a better idea of whether they want to see the film.

Dr George had some interesting news last night regarding his co-worker. One just never knows, I guess. You'll have to keep us posted, George.

Jeanne · « **Reply #118 on:** January 14, 2016, 04:41:25 PM »

Regarding the usher, yes, it's best to report her, IMO. It really isn't fair to the theater patrons, who paid to see the show, or to the performers. It shouldn't fall to the patrons to ask her to behave herself. Is there a head usher or supervisor around in these instances?

If I learn anything more...sometimes there is no other news, except in this case it was a police matter. In previous terminations (former director and HR manager), the wrong-doings were all internal.
