Where you sitting for Spamalot?

When in August will you be up here?  maybe we can organize a mini HHW brunch or somthin' Jose should be here  by then and he could bring us (not treat us) to the best food in town  :D


I have one of those single aisle at the wall seats in the orchestra (row J). Singles are always the hardest to sell since most people go to the theater in couples or groups. My two friends who are coming with me also will have single seats at the wall. All the other seats are center orchestra together.

I'll be there August 4-7, so a brunch one day would be great. It would nice to meet some of you lovely folks.

Der Brucer and I have a very pregnant young lady in our basement.

I'll have the rest of this rescue story later, when it actually is a full story.  Let's just say I was checking some "how to give birth" sites earlier today.

Hey, can anyone get a translation of that Russian page???  It's a five-star review - I'd love to know what it says.  And boy, those screen caps look really great.

Waiting on our trivia answer so I can move on to the next question.

What is Griff's?
Past tense now.  Griff's was a leather bar, noted for it's Full Moon parties and Sunday Beer Busts.  They also sponsored the top gay softball team for several years.  Sadly, the owners have both passed on.  They also owned the Bunkhouse, which was a country-themed bar on Santa Monica Blvd., but is also no longer in existance.

No, we did not see Sophia shoot the glasses man. That again was done to make it a surprise to us. Sophia is not one to be trusted by anyone, least of all Nadia, who seems totally snowed by her.

CONGRATIONS ANN!!!!  :D :D :D

Sandra congratulations on a job well done in your rhetoric class.  I remember a paper from Keith’s college days that received an A+along with glowing comments from the teacher. He asked me what I thought and honestly I didn’t have a clue what he was talking about, but it was beautifully written.  He laughed and said he didn’t know what he was talking about either. ;D

Jose, you are out of your apartment- :)

I found the entire Corey Clark affair (pun intended) very suspicious. I have no doubt that Paula, in wanting to play starmaker, probably championed him. Shows her total lack of taste that she'd choose someone so lacking in talent and charisma. I never thought he should have made it to the finals and was glad I didn't have to listen to him any longer when he was bounced from the show.

But why did he wait *2* years to reveal all this? Is he just now getting a book and CD deal and needs the publicity to launch it since there's obviously no talent there? Also, in the clips I saw, his parents seemed rehearsed and merely following orders on what to say.

Again, I didn't watch the show, just judging by what I've read and the clips from it I've seen.

First part of review:

In The main Roles: Stephen Nathan (Stephen Nathan)... Garry shekter (Harry Schechter) Sindi Williams (Cindy Williams)... Rozi (Rosie) Bruce kimmel (Bruce Kimmel)... John smiti (John Smithee) Aleksandr Morgan (Alexandra Morgan)... The miss Of mari Lya Ryu (Miss Mary La rue) Stephen Nathan Cindy Williams Bruce Kimmel Alexandra Morgan Directors: Mark Haggard Bruce Kimmel Mark Haggard (Mark Haggard), Bruce kimmel (Bruce Kimmel) In the beginning of the seventieth is annual the twentieth century "political climate" in America it were weakened so, that in the large cities (such as New York or Los Angeles, for example) slowly began to appear and even to give printed advertisement the first porno- cinemas. At first there showed sufficiently inoffensive on the the present of merkam.Proposing the concept:) films with a large quantity of exposed "actresses" and the simulation of sexual reports, but nearer to the eightieth people was already "radiated" so, that into the rental went valuable hardcore-porno. Softcore'nye the films of the beginning of the seventieth were often characterized by the madly wild names (type "I it ended to the bus";)) and by the cheapness of the production, when as the commonplace it was considered not to stop the working camera, even if "actor" turns himself to the director for the council - dispatch all these moments without any installation into the finished film, since retake or serious assembly period cost money, but why to expend the money, when people then brings down to look to naked telesa of starletok (but "subject" and the quality of "game" this public clearly they do not interest). After being seen enough similar "masterpieces", young and talented akter/kompozitor/stsenarist Bruce kimmel it planned to make a parody to this cinema, after removing "porno- musical". It described about this idea to some its friends, who immediately arrived into the ecstasy and they began together with it to work at "Cool" director the the:)realizatsiyey of project. In the course of preparatory period, however, the concept of film gradually evolved, and instead of the real "softporno- musical" the authors decided to make "film about the film", "obstebav" not only genre porno, but also low-budgetary cinema together with the pathos-arousing brodveyskimi musicals:) The young owner of small paternal motion picture studio, Garry shekter, is located on the face of crash. His last pictures did not enjoy success, money he does not have, but investors press and is established condition - "either you bring to us gold-bearing idea or we for the debts select in you studio and is constructed at her place large commercial center".

Part Two of Review:

In similar extreme situations the brain of man works especially intensively, and grandiose idea shaded Garry - it is necessary to remove porno- musical! Investors did not at first voice large enthusiasm, but young person in the paints and the details painted by it, as noticeably everything in it will come out and what immense success this project awaits - indeed this there will be the first film of this type! After consulting, starikany agreed to give to young fellow last chance, but immediately was placed drakonovskiye.Orgasm...;) the condition: the first - half of money they invest, and they give half to fellow into the debt; the second - director must be nephew of one of the investors; and the third - entire film must be taken in two weeks, and not it is in the daytime more! Selection Garry not had, and it agreed. And from this point on, obviously, begins the most interesting. To the hearing it appeared more than different coat public, by "director" proved to be that complexed of dvadtsatitrekhletniy of devstvennik, and music and songs for the "picture" were written by aged negro directly on surveying area... What came out from entire this disgrace - you look the film:) It is necessary to give credit to the talent of Bruce kimmel - in fact, it only extended on itself entire picture, and it boldly it is possible to compare with another young gift of that time - By melom by Brooks, in seven years thus far placed immense comedy on the similar theme by the name Lesbian, Butch, Dyke...;)"Prodyusery" (The Producers (1968)). Bruce, as Brooks, not only wrote outstanding scenario and he became the to- director of picture, but also magnificently played the role "of director -devstvennika" John smiti (surname Smithee it must much say to amateurs and experts of cinematography...;)), and it also wrote entire music and songs to the picture (here already truly - man of many-sided talents),!

Part Three of Review:

Because of the efforts Of kimmela, the film came out very ridiculous, extraordinarily entertaining and it excellently parodied many "behind the scene" moments of the entertainment industries, inaccessible to the view of usual spectator. Especially strongly it was reached, certainly, to the process of the production of low-budgetary pictures, about which by hearsay he did not know Kimmel, since itself removed the low-budgetary picture (producer it initially allocated only of 125 thousand dollars):) "as to become director?" - it is necessary altogether to only be nephew or son of one of the producers. "where to find artists?" - give declaration into the newspapers, and at the doors of studio will very soon stand the different coat crowd, in which mozhno.Shriting the music on the stage:) to meet and beginning pornozvezd, and modest shy girls from the province with the large dream "to subjugate Hollywood". "where to find composer?" - it is necessary simply to ring its old friend and to ask him to write music for the film, that it will make directly on surveying area in the interruptions between the doubles. "as to calm the raged on area" star "? - nothing complex, it is simple to otvet' by reciprocity to its solicitations:) "what to make, if" director "- dvadtsatitrekhletniy of devstvennik, which nothing knows about the cinematography generally and the process of the production of films in particular?" - to try so that it would conduct as less than the time on area, as possible more frequently send it into the store after the dumplings, and when dumplings will covered entire studio - show out it to the "copying of scenario" into the public house... "I finally, that to make, when in the hearts you discharged capricious" star "in the last day of surveys, and it is necessary to remove still several important scenes" - this simplest, leave because of the camera and make entire itself, indeed you already in this business very long ago and know the routine...;) As you see, to remove low-budgetary cinema complex, but since you already became acquainted with the answers to the majority of production questions, then can boldly take up the creation of your own masterpieces, indeed, at the end Dancing dildos of;)kontsov, the same so is gay! And actually, film came out very merry and fervid, with an enormous quantity of obnazhenki and the super-musical numbers, type "Lesbian, Butch, Dyke", "Orgasm", "Perversion" and, it is certain, shedevral'nym "Dancing Dildos"! :) At least only for one "Dancing Dildos" this film already is worth looking, and indeed besides this number there there is still much what interesting...;) In spite of its obvious creative success, the rolling fate of picture was added sufficiently complex. Even during the production of film was signed agreement with studio Paramount to wide reliz of tape in the states. During the production and the installation the studio was very contented by result, but... here burst out thunder among the clear sky - one of the basic stars of picture, Sindi Williams, it began to be removed in the popular "family" television series Paramount Networks "Laverne & Shirley", and studio solved, that its participation in "The First Nudie Musical" negative will affect the ratings of series and on the image of paramount itself. Trying as peace history, na".Stunt dick" working;) the matter itself, but it does not cease to astonish. However, simply so "to get rid" of the picture studio not could - since it had to fulfill contractual obligations on the rental and distributions of film.

Last part of review:

As a result - Paramount went "to the craftiness" - without any press- demonstrations (so that not there would be reviews in the press, it understands) and the advertisements film they released on the screens of the provincial small towns of America, without having released picture into the large cities and the large populated areas. However, even during this "distribution" film they noted, and tape began to bring to the rollers of money. But here was agitated Bruce kimel, who appeared in the press with the open turning to management Paramount and required normal rotation with his creation, especially as public was clearly in the enthusiasm from the picture. Ended this all by the fact that Paramount sold rights to the film conversely to the authors, thus after getting rid of the "undesirable" picture in its catalog and after making possible To kimelu to make with the tape everything that it will wish. But it wished to find another distrib'yutora, which soon and organized the worthy The closing number:)reklamnuyu and rolling company of film in the states. And this, it goes without saying, it gave its fruits, since picture not only in the course of THREE MONTHS successfully went in the cinemas of New York, but also several weeks entered into national charty of boxing- office on the fifth position (!), after proving to be in the company of such mastodons of rental as "Star Wars" and "The Spy Who Loved Me". The audience success of picture was present and caused it, certainly, by the fact that the film is actually very amusing and is ridiculous, is working and as ingenious comedy, and as successful parody to porno, musicals and film production as a whole. Sufficiently expected became the fact that in the course of time the film acquired steadfast cult status and mass of new worshippers, who saw picture already on video. Everything, who loves exceptionally successful parodies, ridiculous comedies, on top of that and away not to look to many exposed female teles - good to grant on "The First Nudie Musical"! Parents, remove from the screen of children...;) Sergey merenkov Rating - 5 rating - 5 rating - 5 rating - 5 rating - 5 Memorable quotations: [ being turned to the shy provincial girl on hearing ] of Garry shekter: Well, I do hope, you do understand that for you it is necessary to be removed by that exposed, this will be for you normally? Girl: Well yes, of course, this will be normally. Only if for me it is not necessary to undress...

Now, if it was you and Vinnie hugging like that... Well...

DR MattH, I agree that Corey Clark is doing this to publicize his book and cd.  And I also agree that I never liked him.  And I think he comes across as shady.  However, he definitely had many facts (that i listed in my other post) to prove his claim.

I don't think his parents could have made this up.  If they did that would be pretty horrible.

Sure the evidence is mostly circumstantial.  And yes voice clips can be doctored to make it seem like Paula sent those messages.  But from what we were shown, his claim seems to have some merit.

Although I think the fact that he would do this to someone he claimed to love (paula) shows complete lack of class and character.

Montreal was because supposedly my pal had a connection for cheap fancy hotel rooms and clubs. Of course, those things never turn out as promised, but it was not too bad, all in all. The gal's tears were long dried by my return. In fact it almost looked like she hadn't cried at all :(
