Since we've heard Mr. Spacey's attempts at "Beyond the Sea," I'd love to hear Guy Haines swing it out.

For duet, "Too Many Mornings." Maybe a bit heavy for the crooner, but I'd love to see him tackle something a little darker.

I'd love to talk about ALIAS. Problem is that I can't talk about it when I log on late at night because it hasn't even aired on the West Coast yet.

At any rate, I loved the "Stepford Wives" theme of the show and found it exciting and just odd enough to completely hold my attention.

I also adore Larry Sullivan who played the car dealership guy. I will forever regret that the powers at WILL & GRACE didn't see fit to have him hang around as Will's boy friend for more than one episode. Their loss.

I also have to say that with what we know about the breakup of Jennifer Garner and Michael Vartan in real life, their love scenes in the show for me have an eerie kind of tension about them. Works for the characters since we know what they went through last season, but it still makes me just a bit uneasy to know the backstory of their real life relationship.

That episode of ALIAS (from the promos) remineded me of an X-Files episode when Fox and Mulder went to a housing development and pretended to be married because people kept disappearing.

Zing a Little Zong is found at Chapter 7 on the JUST FOR YOU DVD! I just watched it again. PLEASE give it a look and listen! It's a great party scene dressed by Edith Head and featuring a stunningly beautiful young Julie Newmar as one of the dancers!

Matt H. · « **Reply #97 on:** January 27, 2005, 08:23:38 AM »

I have a question some of you musical and opera fans might be able to answer. Is the reason STREET SCENE hasn't been revived on Broadway because it's now a title opera companies might want to tackle and might be considered too heavy and oepratic for Broadway (especially since pop operas don't seem to go over well any more)? Just started thinking about this today and wondered if any of you have any insight.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #98 on:** January 27, 2005, 08:24:51 AM »

Screenplays....some of those mentioned....and to add:

PILLOW TALK - an original by Stanley Shapiro
AIRPORT - George Seaton from Arthur Hailey
THE CARPETBAGGERS - John Michael Hayes from Harold Robbins (not completely successful, but a good try)
THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE - George Axelrod from Richard Condon
PEYTON PLACE - John Michael Hayes from Grace Metalious

LOL! I just watched HERE COMES THE GROOM a few weeks ago, DR JRand but didn't bother with JUST FOR YOU since I had seen it on TCM a few weeks prior.

Re: Alias, I think people here tend to talk about it more when really shocking events occur.

Btw, can someone tell me how the show ended last night. I saw Vaugh and Sydney on the plane. But I forgot that ABC keeps going over with many of their shows (this is really annoying).

Thanks.

I agree with Matth, BK, it would be fun to have Guy sing BEYOND THE SEA.

Also, how about having Guy sing one or two of Astrud Gilberto's hits...THE GIRL FROM IPANEMA, or my fave, THE CRICKETS SING.

I have watched one, but haven't watched the other yet. I should do that.

DR Jose, I am sorry about the bad stuff happening at home...I hope it is nothing too serious!

I'm curious who you guys think will win, who you want to win, and who will be final 3 (who will be eliminated next week).

Like "Harmony" or "Sweet Painted Lady" or "Daniel"?

Re: The Crickets Sing for Anamaria. Bleccchhh on Astrud's version (sorry). The good news is the original IS a duet! Check it out--it's by Marcos Valle, with his wife (that would be Anamaria) singing with him. That would be a great choice for Guy.

Another under-covered Brasilian title is Canto de Ossanha, made popular in the US under the title Let Go (The Sandpipers had a modest hit with it, and Percy also covered it with his female chorus). It could also easily be worked into a duet (I have a 4 part arrangement I did for Tigard Pops, hint, hint, nudge, nudge).

For a word of the day, "pudding" has been given very short shrift. Let's give pudding some long shrift, shall we? The day is young, which is more than I can say - so let's give pudding the respect it deserves. I know dear reader Sandra will have something pithy to day about pudding so we await her pithy pudding pronouncements.

It could be a wonderful marketing tool...the "pudding in your underpants" diet.

Although the smartass AMA will say it's nothing more than diarrhea.

I received this in my email just now:

"One of the theater's greatest actresses...
One of the art world's greatest characters...
One of off-Broadway's hottest tickets.

Academy® Award and Tony® Award winner Mercedes Ruehl (Lost in Yonkers, Married To The Mob) returns to the New York stage at the Promenade Theatre in WOMAN BEFORE A GLASS, a provocative new portrait of the wonderfully eccentric Peggy Guggenheim.

Rebelling against her wealthy New York upbringing, indulging her uncanny eye for great art and artists, and becoming the enfant terrible of the Modern Art scene, Peggy Guggenheim lived a life almost too amazing to be believed. >From the bedroom of her grand Venetian palazzo, to the museums that housed her magnificent collection, Ms. Guggenheim's unconventional pursuit of all things beautiful became the stuff of legend - and the heart of a gripping new piece of theatre.

With humor, heartbreak and grand hauteur, playwright Lanie Robertson, director Casey Childs and the extraordinary Mercedes Ruehl offer the unforgettable story of a woman before her time... WOMAN BEFORE A GLASS.

Anybody know anything about this?

We're still not sure about the signing in NY. I'll keep you posted, but these stores are really peculiar.

Alias: Was there something more to the Garner/Vartan breakup other than they stupidly had a relationship and then broke up? Inquiring minds want to know.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #116 on:** January 27, 2005, 08:49:11 AM »

Perhaps something along the lines of "a pound of pudding"...or a cooking reference to "pounding" the "pudding"....

JMK · « **Reply #117 on:** January 27, 2005, 08:49:24 AM »

Another wonderful Marcos Valle duet is Chup, Chup, I Got Away.

And a glorious Danilo Caymmi duet (with a partial Livingston/Evans English lyric, which I have completed for the Tigard Pops, hint, hint, nudge, nudge) is Open Your Arms. (It's partial because the original was sung half in English and half in Portuguese, so maybe you could duet with Bebel Gilberto).
