REDISCOVERING MY BUDDAH
« on: January 26, 2005, 11:58:38 PM »
Well, you've read the notes on your various and sundried boxes, you've rediscovered your various and sundried Buddahs, and now it is time to post until the various and sundried cows come home.

Sometimes I'm quite partial to tapioca.

Where else on all the Internet can you read such a sentence late at night?

Anything by Preston Sturges.  Anything written by Billy Wilder and his various and sundry partners.

My first thoughts for brilliant screenplay writers were TV writers: Dennis Potter and Stephen Poliakoff.

For Preston, I'll single out Sullivan's Travels, my favorite of all his films.

I would have to rank Billy Wilder (and company) in the top ten of all time.

I notice Guy Haines has not been seen at the Australian Open. Guess it is not tennis news.

I don't have all the particulars yet, but at some point this year Mr. Haines will be going back into the studio to do a new album.  Songs are being chosen right now, so if you have anything you'd like to suggest, now is the time.  We've decided on about five for sure.

Guy and I have been talking about this for quite some time, and we felt that now is a perfect time to do something.  I think the title of the album is going to be This Guy's in Love with You, and yes, Virginia, it will include that lovely Bacharach and David song.

I tried to go back and get the TOD - but got yesterday's notes. Is it favorite screenplays or screenwriters? Or both?

Today's notes are up.  Use Safari.  It's what are your favorite screenplays.

Are you at liberty to say which of your songs? Or does Mr. Haines want that information kept under wraps?

I read the notes before posting. I know the rules. Read them on IE. But now I'm on AOL - which I find faster to move around in than IE. So I went back on AOL and could not get the notes. But, of course I read them. I've already posted three times on the TOD - but suddenly thought I had it wrong as you were talking about favorite screenwriters.

All songs are under wraps.  Except the rap songs.  Those are under raps.

I hope Guy Haines goes back to the Randy Newman songbook too.  Guy's  version of "Marie" is beautiful. Maybe:"I think it's Gonna Rain today".  Of newer songs "I'd Rather Be Sailing"  is wonderful.

Good news indeed BK.
