I guess I had better turn in for the night (or for the morning).

Interestingly I think I've only seen one Gary Cooper over the years and can't tell you why. I've seen clips and extended scenes from other films but only one complete film. That would be High Noon and I don't have memory of the film itseld except for the final scene when he leaves.

Last night i watched the first half of a film version of Patrick Suskind's novel Perfume. I may watch the second half tonight, or i may just send it back to Netflix; I'm that ambivalent about it.

This morning I have a doctor's appointment at 10. i do not know his name, but he's a muscle specialist, and I hope he can discover what problems I am facing with my left leg.

I need some coffee.

Writing a book on your Cabaret rules I think is a great idea. I think many people can benefit even well-known people have no idea how to put a show together.

And my biggest beef is the patter. They need someone to help them write and edit it. Then the director to reel in the "ahhs" and "uhms" one hears every few words. (This is being a Toastmaster where we are drilled not to use these crutch words) Even the President of the USA uses them.

Then the song order is also important.

As for the Frank Loesser show from last night.

Perhaps the important moments in her life had Loesser song attached to it.

Like I am now, or was at 3:30 when I woke up.

The cabaret sounds like a horribly misguided affair, and the very thought of woohooing and cheerleading is disgusting.

Re crutch words: I'm just waiting to hear about a cabaret in which, after every song, the patter begins with "So...", a major national epidemic.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #20 on:** May 23, 2016, 04:27:47 AM »

Oddly enough, I don't know that many Gary Cooper films myself, but this Twilight Time release sounds right up my alley.

Well, I have yet to sleep five minutes - talk about a nightmare. Every damn night now, no matter what I eat and when, I have horrible heartburn or acid reflux or whatever this crap is. I finally could take it no more and twenty minutes ago I got dressed and went to the market, which, as long as I have lived here has been open 24 hours. Not now. Now they close at one and open at five. I drove several other places to no avail and finally found a gas station open and got a tiny packet of Tums that look nothing like what I usually buy, but I hope they work because I have HAD it.

BK, get your buttcheeks to a doctor. If this is happening nightly, it may be something serious. You never mention doctor or health insurance, but you should have it checked out. What if you had an aortic aneurism?

elmore3003 · « **Reply #23 on:** May 23, 2016, 05:14:06 AM »

Isn't that what Jonathan Larsen was complaining of when every ER in town sent him gome, claiming he was fine?

THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR was most excellent.....my friend Vickie and I stayed for the Talk Back.

Counting the two of us, there was a total of two people. It was nice just to talk to the cast. I knew four of them, five counting the director. The ENTIRE cast did not stay, but it was nice to talk to them and hear what they had to say.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #27 on:** May 23, 2016, 05:48:27 AM »

Tonight the LITTLE WOMEN are being wired for sound....and I think the rest of the pit will be there....so it should be entertaining and exciting and scary.....

A bit of shopping is in order.
