My question for ASK BK Day?

Do you like the movie version of THE RED SHOES?  What do you think of the stage version?

I do love the film of The Red Shoes (although not as much as Black Narcissus) - I saw the Broadway musical flop which was terrible.  I'm looking forward to this Matthew Bourne thing.

I want to see this.



It does look good.

Thanks DR VIXMOM.  I am watching LOST HORIZON....the Frank Capra version....one of my favorite movies.

I especially love the music during the celebration as Bob and George are running away....with Margo.....


Very enjoyable movie. I think I liked it better than the book.

We had our volunteer appreciation dinner at the theater where I work. They lowered the chairs and flattened out the floor of the main theater for our dinner.

I won a bottle of wine as well as a Michael McDonald pack, including an autographed photo, artwork from his latest album, a copy of his lyrics to a song and a tour bag.

Started watching the Don Siegel version of The Killers. The beginning is very different from the original version, which was fairly faithful to the Hemingway short story.

Tried listening to the Daniel Jones symphonies - rather like William Alwyn but not William Alwyn and not much to my liking.  Now listening to two Douglas Lilburn symphonies - I remember liking these very much when I bought them in the 1980s and found them on the shelf - nice to hear them again and they're lovely.

And I'm having my second Freshly meal o' the day, the steak peppercorn.  Cooked this one exactly as per the packaging - three minutes and thirty seconds and sitting for two minutes.  It needed a bit of salt but it's very good.

Me, too, DR JOHN G.

I think the book was original written as a magazine serial....I think.

I am puzzled by the idea of a ballet about a COMPOSER who wants a BALLERINA to give up dancing....I just would think a dancing composer who doesn't like dancing would be hard to present....

Did the top shelf closet - found the two-CD set of the complete Gayane ballet by Khachaturian.  Uploaded and listening to it - I have about six different recordings of the suites, but this is the only complete version - it's a 1960 Melodiya recording, in beautiful sound on the Mobile Fidelity label.  It's wonderful to hear all the music, rather than the five selections of the suite.

It was very nicely filmed, although some of the camera shots were so close, you could tell who had blemishes and who should have worn concealer.

I do love the score, although I did miss the song "There's Music in You."

I think I may have to try Freshly meals.  They keep sending me e-mails.
