PAGE FOUR DANCE!!

And on that note (F#), I must be going. Tonight is Theater Artists Olympia's monthly board meeting, and then depending when that gets out, I might go to a late movie with my friend Margo.

Be back later.

I read the notes in the early am but I did not have my headphones handy so u didn't listen to it yet

vixmom · « **Reply #93 on:** August 09, 2016, 06:50:09 PM »

vixmom · « **Reply #94 on:** August 09, 2016, 06:50:25 PM »

And I look forward to it

This has been a rather somber worrisome day one of my coworkers called to say her fiancé had a stroke this morning we all like him very much so it has affected the whole office.
Vibes please for Jon

Then I received an email informing me that a lady in the church who I have known for just shy of 50 years has died. Two of her daughters grew up in that church with me and we are still friends. She was one of the counseled and chaperones and Sunday school teachers all the time I was growing up

Maybe I've been too literal, since I thought the "millstone" was every thousand, since a mill is a thousand.

Got a copy of the new Blu-ray for The Ratings Game starring Danny de Vito and directed by him, too. For years, the score composer has allowed people who did not scour the end credits to believe he wrote all the music in the show, including all the faux TV themes, affiliates song, and the faux TV network logo music. People give him credit, he says nothing about him not having written any of that stuff. In fact, he uses some of it in his score. Well, there's a really nice booklet with the Blu-ray and I'm happy to say the producer, David Jablin sets that record straight rather strongly with a lovely and big shout out to the person who did write all that music (and lyrics) - me.

Great news.

Weird, long day today. I read a few early posts on my phone, but for some reason, the pictures were off, so BK's picture was on Ginny's post and I was thoroughly confused about why he was posting about Fr. Richard.

So sorry to hear about that, Vixmom. Vibes of comfort.

DITTO. You don't hear positive news like that every day. That's excellent.

So, just curious why so few people have mentioned the video. It really means squat to me whether it's liked or not, but to not mention it seems churlish and makes me think no one is reading the notes.

I loved it. That Hugh Martin arrangement is transcendent. And each of the young women is wonderful.

Crazy day and not in especially good ways - but we're very close to having some interesting ALS news in terms of a last-minute cast addition and I can only tell you if it happens I will be one very happy Jew.

Happy Jew vibes!

Starting to watch the Cybill Shepherd version of The Lady Vanishes. Elliott Gould, Angela Lansbury and Herbert Lom co-star.

I saw this back in high school before seeing the Hitchcock, and I loved it. I wonder if I will after all these years.

I will say this, the first half-hour is fun. Richard Hartley has composed a gorgeous score. George Axelrod has punched up the script, adding a Third Reich element that includes Shepherd doing an impersonation of Hitler.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #108 on:** August 09, 2016, 07:39:28 PM »

I don't think I even knew about that version.

The thing on the Home Theatre Forum is sad, tragic, and funny all at the same time. The man involved is notorious. And he did lose the court case involving one film and yet he will not release the elements he has to the people who actually legally own that title now. This guy has been causing this kind of trouble for decades - I don't know a single person who doesn't loathe him. And, from what I understand, the way in which he acquired the elements on the title he doesn't own was, to put it nicely, underhanded.

Sounds ridiculous and sad.

Congratulations on finally being acknowledged, BK

Thank you for the thank you, Jack.. I Am jus happy you were. Able to use them

Well, it was a completely competent, worthless remake of The Lady Vanishes that had plenty of charm, good music and atmosphere. Not much else. In other words, so what?

John G. · « **Reply #114 on:** August 09, 2016, 08:42:04 PM »

Have you seen the 20013 remake?
