Good Afternoon!

Puttering, puttering, puttering...

I got my trains booked, my banking done... and now I think I'm going to head out to get my hairs cut. They look all right now, but I know that in a few days, I won't be happy with them. So... -And I've decided not to cut them myself this time. I'd really just like to sit back for a few in a barber chair and relax.

OK...

Have I forgotten anything else?

OH! For those HHWers in NYC... It looks like Monday I'll have a ton a free time, and there will be a lot of people heading into the city. Anyone have plans for The Fourth?

Discuss...

Laters...

Congrats on the employment to DRJOSE. They are lucky to get you!

First dress rehearsal tonight. Pray for Rosemary's baby!

MR BK mentioned The Browning Version in the notes today, and speaking of matriculation....

There is a Dean Stockwell film made when he was a "child" actor called THE HAPPY YEARS that I love. I have only seen it a few times, but it was also about schoolboys - although I think set in the US. Scotty Beckett and Darryl Hickman were a couple of the other boys. And Leo G. Carroll was one of the headmasters.

I particularly remember one scene: All of the boys decided to humiliate a young girl (children can be so cruel) - and so on one calling day - EVERY boy in the school showed up at her door. By the end of the afternoon, the parlor was full....as each boy sat down he declared: "I have just seen Miss Maude Adams in 'Peter Pan.' I like Maude Adams." And then every boy in the room would say, in turn: "I like Maude Adams." .....

The girl ran from the room crying....

But other than that - it's a funny and sweet movie. I wish I could see it again. Directed by William Wellman....not sure...but probably TCF, maybe RKO.

DR MBarnum, I just went back and saw your initial response. At the bottom of the FIRST page yet, but I'm sure the server dumped me to the second page and I forgot to go back and pick up any messages that came after mine on the first page. I should have known this is what happened.

Thanks again.

DRMATTH - that happens to me, and so I miss the posts that are written while I am writing mine.

Grrrrrrrrrr..

Have any other DRs here heard about the new opera in the works based on "The Fly"?

Howard Shore, composer of the film score, in assocation with David Cronenberg (director) and Henry David Hwang ("M. Butterfly" writer) are working on this opera.

I-n-t-e-r-e-s-t-i-n-g!

MATRICULATION, baby, MATRICULATION!

We've discussed the opera of The Fly before - Pogue knows about it.

When season three of Doris Day comes out, not only are they including the DD version of the pilot I did for her company (Young Love), they're also including the non-DD version. It all lives on.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #65 on:** July 01, 2005, 10:56:47 AM »

Yes, MR BK, I anxiously awaiting the seasons AFTER the Doris on the Farm episodes.

Welcome back, Dear Reader Jason!!

Is this a slow news day here at haineshisway.com?

This is JULY, people. Let's welcome it with open arms, shall we?

And now - Dino at the piano.

I love July. It is my second favorite month of the year. August is my FAVORITE month.

I am on my way to the theatre - back much later.

I am looking for LP's with mysterious or scary covers for the display case...

Any suggestions from DR's would be appreciated.

bk · « **Reply #69 on:** July 01, 2005, 12:10:28 PM »

Scary LP cover - Anything with a photo of Carol Channing.

Back from getting my hairs cut...

I'm gonna go ahead and pack my luggage now, so that I can relax a bit tonight. And since I'll have to be at Union Station to catch the 6:20 train to Penn Station in the morning...

OH!!

Again, for those New York based HHWers... I think what I'd like to do is head back from Poughkeepsie on Thursday morning, and then spend the night in the City, and then head back down to DC Friday afternoon, after lunch. Sounds like a plan to me. What say you?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #71 on:** July 01, 2005, 12:13:06 PM »

OK... Time to putter about the house somewhere. And no maid in sight. Nor houseboy. Ah, well..

I suppose I shall toddle off to hopefully pick up the many packages which should have arrived days ago.

I feel like eating someting fun, but not too caloric. I shall wonder as I wander, and, conversely, I shall wander as I wonder.

Actually, I did take the quiz, and I ended up as Lt. Dangle just as vixmom did. Being as he's the one gay cop on the force, I wasn't surprised I ended up as Dangle.

Same here, DR JRand. That's why I haven't gotten the first season. In season 2 she starts commuting to San Francisco to work, and by season 3, she's living there permanently. I'll start collecting with Season 2.

Quite enjoyed TOY STORY this afternoon, but the high definition version last night was naturally just that little bit sharper and with more vibrant color. Still, the DVDs are more than excellent, and I won't be breaking any land or speed records to get a high definition DVD player until they come way down in price which will take a couple of years, whenever they're introduced. Looks like they're not going to make it by the fourth quarter of this year as Toshiba wanted.

I'm still hoping the two sides can agree on a single format.

Matt H. · « **Reply #76 on:** July 01, 2005, 01:23:47 PM »

No packages today, so I'm hoping something comes tomorrow as there will be no mail on Monday.

Matt H. · « **Reply #77 on:** July 01, 2005, 01:25:12 PM »

Read this morning that Universal is releasing an Alfred Hitchcock masterpiece collection in October with all of their Hitchcock masterpieces in "new" editions. Hopefully, VERTIGO and PSYCHO will be anamorphic this time around. Otherwise, why bother?

I had Healthy Choice Chocolate Chocolate Chip ice cream this afternoon. Well, it IS Friday, my ice cream day. It was SO delicious.

I hope DR Ron will let us know what he thinks of WAR OF THE WORLDS.

Just in case anyone is interested, here's what I'll be "doing" for the next couple of days.

I'll be assisting with the rehearsals for Dangerous Beauty. Great cast lined up. Should be fun.

Got a lot of packages, which I now must open, but not one of them was one I've been waiting for.

Today is Canada Day and I will be going to see fireworks!

Last Friday was St. Jean-Baptiste Day (Quebec Day). So I got to see some then too!

But this week's show has a singing and dancing stage show first.

Thank you. I hope to pass on the message today. He is resting at home for a few days.

Thank you DtM. I hope OzDerek feels strong enough to post at HHW this weekend.

TOTD: Last night's DVD viewing ended up being "Flawless". We enjoyed it very much. (Thanks to OzDerek again for our viewing).

Tomovoz · « **Reply #86 on:** July 01, 2005, 03:25:25 PM »

Noticed radio ads this morning promoting the 1978 Jeff Wayne recording of "War of The Worlds". It still sounds great with Mr Burton's narration.
Good marketing.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #87 on:** July 01, 2005, 03:27:59 PM »

The Moody Blues song "I Know You're Out There Somewhere" seems somehow appropriate today. And it of course does flow on from the "War of The Worlds" post.

I am hot and I am cranky. Our 16 tons (a Forever Plaid reference) of boulders did not arrive and it is 108F outside.

I just spoke to OzDerek who send his thanks. He does not need to return to the hospital until next Friday (for scans). He is very tired and certainly physically "knocked about" by the IV treatment undertaken over the past three days.
