DR JOHN G I love Joan Fontaine in BORN TO BE BAD - her come uppence is one of the most glorious in cinema.

And I think it's Joan Leslie's best role.

Joan Fontaine's performance here is only bested by her role in SERENADE.

I am negative this morning.

In a COVID-19 sense, or ... ?

[Ron Pulliam]

Crickets...

[Ron Pulliam]

...Ooh!  Ooh!  And 0 guests!

My new debit card arrived. It's been validated and a payment plan set up with the heralth insurance that was $4000+ from me. When/if the property money arrives, I will pay it off.

[Ron Pulliam]

I know this is rather macabre, but...

[Jrand74]

Yes DR RONPULLIAM - negative COVID speaking.....but I am a bit churlish.

[Jane]

George, congrats on winning again.

Ron, thanks for you review of "The Lost City".  It sounds about what I expected.

[Jane]

Tuesday morning greetings!  It’s going to be hot here today, too.  My friend Sharon and I are going to the library where my career began to discuss HAMNET.

I loved that book. Enjoy the discussion.

Who is the author?  Should I consider it for a book group discussion?

[Jane]

I am negative this morning.

Do you plan to test every day?

[George]

Congrats to DR GEORGE on his filthy lucre.

Thanks, Jrand!

I’m listening to The Real Jane Austen: A Life in Small Things. It’s a kind of deconstructed biography in that it is occasionally about Austen’s possessions and what they say about her.

More interesting is an examination of her juvenilia, largely burlesques of what she read. The writer, Paula Byrne, says there are even not so subtle gay jokes about the navy.

I thought that book sounded familiar, so I checked my Amazon orders. I read it in 2013-14. I remember I liked it, but it was not so good as Claire Tomalin's wonderful biography.

Good to know. I’m liking it so far.

I hope to finish up tonight. The disc has an alternate ending.

Got home at midnight last night, from what was supposed to have been a full tech/dress rehearsal. It turned out to be neither, because after two full afternoon/evenings of just tech, they still aren't through the whole show. So last night was just running a few big numbers with mics on and the band finally in its place. If they finish with the tech today, we MIGHT get to run through an entire act, but who knows. Hey, doesn't matter to me.    I'm doing my thing and relishing the fact that frankly, I don't have to give a damn. Plus, I know it will be good by Friday's opening.

Here’s to Friday’s opening and to the journey there.

I have no idea how good Bradley Cooper will be playing Leonard Bernstein, but he sure looks like Lenny!

[Jrand74]

DR JOHN G I must hear about the alternate ending when you see it!

[Jrand74]

DR JANE since I have no symptoms, I'll probably wait until Thursday to test again.

[bk]

I'm up, I'm up - seven hours of sleep.

[George]

I'm off to lunch with some friends.

[ChasSmith]

I have no idea how good Bradley Cooper will be playing Leonard Bernstein, but he sure looks like Lenny!

I've been marveling over that since I first saw it a couple of days ago, and I finally had to google Cooper himself just to remind myself of what he actually looks like.

It's uncanny.

I'm sold, just based on that. I hope it turns out to be a good flick.

[ChasSmith]

I'm going in an hour early tonight to tweak my setup as best I can.

I don't mean a keyboard or computer programming setup. The actual physical setup. I need to somehow be able to move my keyboard three or four inches (yes, I said inches) to the left, and hopefully gain another inch or two between the keyboard and the bench I plop my ass down on.

I'm not kidding. I've played in one other place that's *almost* this cramped. But this one takes the prize. It's got a reputation for it, but I had to finally see it with mine own eyes to believe it.

[John G.]

I’m listening to Company and was wondering about the new Bobbi version. What did they do with the lyric “She is tall enough to be your mother.”

[John G.]

Oh, my. Listened to the London cast, to answer my own question. It’s kinda garbled, but it sounds like “He looks young enough to be your son.” 

Kinda icky, IMO.

[John G.]

Really don’t like these London orchestrations.

[John G.]

I have no idea how good Bradley Cooper will be playing Leonard Bernstein, but he sure looks like Lenny!

Is this being released in the theaters even for a short time?

[John G.]

Maestro is filming now. Due next year.
