Latest howler from the Goodbye, Mr. Chips chapter: Apparently Andre and Dory Previn while constantly revising their score to the film were distracted by their Broadway bound musical The Happy Time's out of town tryout. This is the problem with idiots - at that point The Happy Time's director, Gower Champion, was going to direct the Chips film - so, he has the show right but isn't even smart enough to know that the Previns had nothing to do with it. And the ONLY songwriters involved with Chips were the Previns and Bricusse. Really? Then what are all these Rod McKuen demos I have, and the Tony Hatch title song I have, etc. And I've located many of the sources he simply copies - changes a few words here and there, but lots of time spent at the Margaret Herrick Library cobbling together the real and the anecdotal (here presented as real) and the patently false PR crap (also presented as real). And people buy the book and take it all as gospel.

Half a Sixpence had lovely 70mm photography. No, it had lovely 35mm photography and a handful of blow-up 70mm prints - a small distinction, but you know he just read that it played in 70mm, probably not even understanding what a blow up is.

Watching a justly forgotten musical called Golden Girl with Mitzi Gaynor as Lotta Crabtree. Don't know how much I can take.

All I know about the DR DOOLITTLE fiasco is what I read in THE STUDIO a very entertaining book by John Gregory Dunne.....I think.....

Began the commentary for the film music thing. Just as infuriating as I knew it would be, not having a show order. But I got four of them done, so only twelve to go. Maybe I'll do two more later.

Okay, page four? Really? Let's just fix this, shall we? Like NOW.

I am basically reading for our company tomorrow morning, just a few things to do when I get up.

Page 4? Really?

I have been feeling sick all day.

I bowed out of lunch with the old actors today.

I just didn't feel like driving over to the restaurant.

I tried working on the book, but I just couldn't concentrate.

TCB · « **Reply #103 on:** August 30, 2017, 10:44:31 PM »

I slept on and off in my chair.

TCB · « **Reply #104 on:** August 30, 2017, 10:45:35 PM »

Fortunately, it wasn't as hot today as it has been.

TCB · « **Reply #105 on:** August 30, 2017, 10:46:09 PM »

I think it only got up to 76 today.

TCB · « **Reply #106 on:** August 30, 2017, 10:47:01 PM »

Hopefully, it will stay around that temperature tomorrow, as well.

TCB · « **Reply #107 on:** August 30, 2017, 10:47:35 PM »

This weekend it is supposed to be up to 90 degrees again.

TCB · « **Reply #108 on:** August 30, 2017, 10:48:04 PM »

At least, it will be a nice holiday weekend.

TCB · « **Reply #109 on:** August 30, 2017, 10:54:19 PM »

I have slept away most of the evening.

I got my Safeway delivery today.

I am starting to refill my new fridge.

TCB · « **Reply #112 on:** August 30, 2017, 10:57:29 PM »

The first purchase was ice cream.

TCB · « **Reply #113 on:** August 30, 2017, 10:58:06 PM »

I wish I had felt up to having some of it.

TCB · « **Reply #114 on:** August 30, 2017, 10:59:11 PM »

I did watch a movie today.

TCB · « **Reply #115 on:** August 30, 2017, 11:00:06 PM »

It was a strange little film from Australia called NICE PACKAGE.

TCB · « **Reply #116 on:** August 30, 2017, 11:03:26 PM »

It was about a "professional" thief who steals a package from a home and ends up taking a hostage.

TCB · « **Reply #117 on:** August 30, 2017, 11:04:52 PM »

For some strange reason, he takes his hostage to the home of his gay best friend.

TCB · « **Reply #118 on:** August 30, 2017, 11:06:55 PM »

It was definitely an unusual film.

TCB · « **Reply #119 on:** August 30, 2017, 11:07:29 PM »

It was kind of funny and kind of entertaining.
