We now have a Shake shack in my neighborhood, and they have the best burgers. So, I had a Shackburger, fries, and a strawberry shake for tonight's dinner.  As Thatch would say, It's yummy!

Bruce did Brothers Grimm ever play at the Cinerama Dome?  Keith remembers seeing it there, not at the Warner. 

I feel as if I saw this but really don't remember.

You may tell him the answer is no, he never saw it at the Dome and the reason is very simple: The Dome wasn't built when Brothers Grimm played In fact, it wasn't built when How the West Was Won first opened either. It began construction in summer of 1963 and opened with Mad  World in November of that year.

Yes, but it might have played there later.  If it did you would probably know.

[Jane]

Odds are he just doesn't remember it was the Warner.

YES! THE BEST! WANT!

Where is your local one?

They opened one down the block from where I used to work a couple of years ago.  I went twice right after they opened .The first time I was very disappointed, in fact I took a couple of bites and threw it away.  The manager saw me do it and came over, offered her apologies and gave me a card for a free meal. I found that pretty blah as well.   I haven’t been back since

Good night, everyone.

The delivery has been made - friend Sandy Bainum sent me a big box from Jack Stack Barbecue in Kansas City.  Included is chopped barbecue beef, burnt ends, beans, carrot cake, and a bottle of sauce. All flash frozen and all currently in the freezer. Defrosting instructions are forty-eight to seventy-two hours in the refrigerator so if I put it all in there now I can eat this stuff on Saturday or Sunday. We shall see about that. It all looks very good. The bottle of sauce has no instructions other than refrigerate after opening - but it's frozen so? I put it in the fridge to defrost - or should I leave it out?

Enjoy!

I am another Luddite who never saw anything in the Cinerama process at an actual theatre.

I find it to be weird on television......people seem to be walking upstage and downstage and it looks ...  well weird.....  I am probably not explaining it correctly, but that's what it looks like to me

I'm also not a fan of the smilebox format.  I actually do have the smilebox versions of Holiday in Spain (Scent of Mystery) and Windjammer.  I get that it gives a sense of the Cinerama experience, but it distorts the image, like zooming a widescreen image to make a full-frame image.  I'd rather just watch the movie than be frustrated that it's distorted and has areas that are harder to see than other areas.  Now, if they released the smilebox version along with the full widescreen version, then I'd certainly be all for that.  But that's just me.

[George]

I don't think the Cinerama process can be recreated OUTSIDE of the B I G curved screen experience......although it can be approximated.

I would go so far as to say it can only be suggested. Watching a Smilebox movie requires a certain mental participation on the part of the viewer, some combination of actual memory and a little imagination. That’s not a criticism. I love it.

And that's horse racing.

Gratuitous Post #100!!

Jane, it never played there. They couldn't show it there in three panel Cinerama, they didn't have that ability until the very late 1990s. Plus, Mad World ran for well over a year there, then that was followed by one long run after another. In fact, I have a list of every movie that ever played there all the way through the late 1980s.  As ChasSmith will tell you, there are people who SWEAR they saw How the West Was Won there during its original engagement. They won't be told otherwise, and when you provide irrefutable proof with the fact it wasn't even built yet and then it played Mad World, and then provide photos of the Warner with the West marquee, and they STILL refuse to acknowledge they were wrong. Same thing with 2001 during its original run. They SWEAR it - we provide photos, they still won't believe it. Memories are funny things. But you'll notice, the handful of times I've been wrong about where I saw something, I admit it immediately..

Thanks.  I knew you would know if it was even a possibility.

Thirty-five years ago tomorrow, my reconstruction of the 1935 Cole Porter-Moss Hart musical "Jubilee" received its first performances at Town Hall, directed by Jimmy Brennan and musical direction by Greg Dlugos.  The cast included Roderick Cook, Paula Lawrence, Robert Fitch, Alyson Reed, Carole Shelley, Davis Gaines, Reed Jomnes, Patrick Quinn, and a very young, very beautiful Rebecca Luker in her second New York performance.

Thirteen years later BBC Radio-3 broadcast a performance directed by Ian Marshall Fisher with musical direction by Kevin Amos.  The cast included  Denis Quilley, Vivienne Martin, Gavin Lee, Sarah Payne, Sally Ann Triplett, David Malek, Elizabeth Counsell, and David Firth.  I will post a few numbers from each of those performances.

Well I am getting used to the bridge....it took an hour after I got home to really get it in the proper place in my mouth...but now it seems to being doing well.

I probably won't have my upper work done until the fall - hoping my investments do as well this year as they did last year.....

So..i have a mouth full of plastic....and that's okay.

Picked up one little package, attended the online virtual book fair - the prices are outrageous this year - it's like book dealers are tone deaf and most booths I saw hadn't sold a single book - then again, many had, at those outrageous prices. Interestingly, every dealer who had Frederic Brown books sold them all and at higher prices than usual - that's good since I have six of the early ones.

Cool!  He's one of my favorite authors.  I don't have any valuable copies of his, though...fine by me.  I just want to read the books.

Very nice, all!

Yep, these are wonderful.

[ChasSmith]

I was listening to others via Facebook, too.

DR Elmore, did you know you have Me and Marie linked three times in that post?

[John G.]

Once is not enough, ChasSmith. Jackie Susann said so. And I believe her.

[John G.]

Getting to be late.

Good night, all.

George I suspect you mean the scifi/mystery writer Fredric Brown vs Frederick Brown.

Bruce did you mean Fredric or Frederick?

DR Jrand70, this is the jacket I bought yesterday.  It should arrive in another week or so.

The jacket looks really good on you, Larry.  Very slimming.
