Interesting, DR Ron Pulliam.


My interpretation of what BK meant by "found footage" is that the movie is structured artificially to be based on camera footage that has been "found," but is actually created for the movie in the screenplay.

[singdaw]

TWO.

[Jane]

DR John I enjoyed your story about Pat Carroll.

[Jane]

I also enjoyed Bruce's memory of working with her.

[George]

DR Gerge, I remain confused about your apartment. DFo you have no AC in that space at all?

None.  My place is a 3-story townhouse-type.  There really isn't a place to put an AC unit.  I took out the doors, so there isn't a room that can be closed off and kept cold.

Laundry is finished. As I came up from the basement this last time, I found the hall outside my apartment filled with emergency workers who werre brought in to help my neighbor, who wasn't answering his door. He was away for months - he's got to be 85 if he's day - and he's more homebound than I.

[elmore3003]

The humidity must be over 100%. It is grueling out there.

There are all these cooling units I see advertised on TV and Amazon. Might one of them be helpful?

DR elmore3003, this made me think of you.

[singdaw]

It is a gorgeous day here today. I'm still on vacation today; went for a really long walk and then finished up the vacuuming.

[ChasSmith]

DR elmore3003, this made me think of you.

omg, that's wonderful.

[John G.]

I also enjoyed Bruce's memory of working with her.

I did, too.

[John G.]

ChasSmith, tomorrow I think I am getting a copy of the JCS Playbill.

[elmore3003]

DR elmore3003, this made me think of you.

I thought adopting Thatch would keep Annabelle off my scores. Now, when I try to write, I habve three - count 'em 3 - cats on the score.

[elmore3003]

Around 1982, while I was working with the cabaret act "Just Good Friends," we perfrmed in Central PArk at the rally at the end of the Gay Pride parade. Pat Carroll was one of the speakers. She ands I spent a lovely couple of hours chatting on a nice June afternoon in Central Park.. I liked her very much.

[bk]

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

[bk]

Guess I'll do stuff after the Zoom.

[ChasSmith]

ChasSmith, tomorrow I think I am getting a copy of the JCS Playbill.

Thank you, sir!

Yes, I gathered that, but I find there are few films I am aware of that are like that.

EXCEPT....

That wonderful reconstuction of "Something's Got to Give", the Marilyn Monroe-Dean Martin film that was being directed by George Cukor for Fox at the time "Cleopatra" was sucking up all the studio's resources.

It was, of course, scrapped, and was later recast with Doris Day and James Garner and Polly Bergen as "Move Over, Darling".

But some enterprising soul at Fox took all the found footage  (i.e. discarded but not destroyed) and pieced together a short version of "Somethings Got to Give" and included it on a DVD about Marilyn.  (Don't remember which DVD it was on).

[Ron Pulliam]

Golly!  While I was typing my last, we had a gully-washer of a rain and now it is bright and sunny again.

I've seen things like that, too.  They might help.

And they do make them without having to vent them out windows.  I had two such units in my Oakland condo.

Larry, the West Coast, especially Oregon and Washington state, has a lot of homes, including condos and apartments, that were never given central A/C because the weather was generally never hot enough to warrant them. 

But...the times are changing rapidly.

I didn't need A/C in my Oakland condo for the first couple of years, but one summer got terribly hot, so I indulged in window unit.  I lived there for 25 years and I went through a window unit, a portable that had to be vented and then two portables that did not have to be vented.

I'm heading over to the theeder early today to make sure all the props are on the prop table.....and maybe clean up the pit in anticipation of the music players strolling in.....maybe today....maybe tomorrow....

The music director has been asked numerous times for names of said musicians and arrival day, but she says "soon" and wanders away.

[Ron Pulliam]

Ooh! Ooh!

"The Marilyn Monroe Special Anniversary Collection consists of five Marilyn Monroe films plus the documentary The Final Days. "

"In The Final Days, producer-director Patty Ivins chronicles Monroe's final, aborted feature film, Something's Got to Give, which was ultimately shut down after the star was dismissed from the production. Beyond Monroe's fragile emotional and physical health, this well-crafted profile examines the financial crisis facing her studio as well as the mounting frustration of meticulous director George Cukor and his cast, including costar Dean Martin, as Monroe's absences drove the shoot over budget. The documentary concludes with a 40-minute reconstruction of footage completed for the feature, which would subsequently be reshot as a vehicle for Doris Day and James Garner, Move Over, Darling."

[Jrand73]

I know of ONE person who will not be in attendance this evening....but everyone else should be there.

[Jane]

It is a gorgeous day here today. I'm still on vacation today; went for a really long walk and then finished up the vacuuming.

To have a perfect day when you don't have to work, lovely.

[Jane]

I was relieved not to be sick when I woke up this morning.  I was able to keep my important appointment this morning for my six month shot, that was postposed a week for our trip.

How large is your band, Jack?

[elmore3003]

I just finished putting away the laundry. My neighbor Ann stopped by to visit and leave me their mailbox key since they wil be away for ten days. I asked her to pick up a couple of onions for me and she dropped them off. I will make chili tomorrow.
