Is this a slow news day here at haineshisway.com? Well, as promised, I got some pineapple, which I shall now eat with relish, which is better than eating it with mustard and ketchup.

A pineapple! What good is sitting alone in your room when you can have a pineapple. So what.

"Ananas" is of course French for pienapple. I'm in a François mood. Disney posts may follow.

Here at least Shirley Temples are thought of as for children. But that doesn't mean that you guys should not ask for them. If you like the taste, then who cares what anybody else thinks!

Shirley Temples are bar drinks. And in the USA, children aren't allowed in bars.

Granted, it's cute to see a child with a Shirley Temple in restaurants that offer bar service, but any bartender who won't mix a non-alcoholic drink isn't worth doing business with.

Oh... As for a British comedy... "Cold Comfort Farm".

I still remember when this came out a few years ago, the box office in Richmond posted a sign "warning" theatregoers that the very thick English accents (of various types, regions) may be hard for Americans to understand at times.

I always put on the English subtitles when I watch THE FULL MONTY. I can never understand a damn word anyone says for the first forty-five minutes.

Hello RLP and TCB. I guess the East Coast has been blown away by Dennis the Menace.

And this from a man who has appeared as Fagin and Scrooge.

Sadly, that is almost true, Tomovoz.

They could do a remake of "Arnold."

I remember seeing the film when it first came out and rather enjoyed it. But I saw it again a year or so again and it didn't have the staying power.

Well, we've had minor excitement around here. Midway through a game of rummy (I was winning) I decided to take a bathroom break. Our bathroom door had been getting increasingly testy about opening once latched, and we kept saying we should really stop latching it. Well, we decided a little too late, it turned out. Upon finishing, I tried to open the bathroom door, only to find that the latch had turned its last turn, and I was indeed stuck in the bathroom. DB Jed, of course, came to my rescue. He soon found that he couldn't open the latch either. He proceeded to try to pry the door jam off in order to get at the latch with a knife. 25 minutes and 1 broken knife later, he had met with little success. Eventually we hit upon the idea of sliding the knife under the door and letting me try...30 seconds later I was out. I'm just glad he was around to help me. I probably would have been fighting hysteria had I been locked in there with an empty apartment!

Jed · « **Reply #104 on:** July 10, 2005, 06:23:24 PM »

In my defense, the first (and subsequently broken) knife was too thick to have been passed underneath the door. It wasn't TOO horribly long after I had the skinnier knife in hand (alright, a bit longer than I'd care to admit, but still...) that we hit upon the solution!

Tomovoz · « **Reply #105 on:** July 10, 2005, 06:47:04 PM »

So you won't be descibed as a "Gay young blade" now DR Jed. "Jed The Knife". For an English reference - possibly known to some DRs (Not just the poet reference): Ann's Latchaway's Cottage.

Jane · « **Reply #106 on:** July 10, 2005, 06:48:49 PM »

Ann, would you have locked the latch if you were in the apartment alone?

25 minutes is a long time. I’m pleased you have been released from your confinement but I must admit to chuckling a bit over your story. It is kind of sweet.

You might say that about most English films.

If you are ever stuck in a room again, a quick and easy solution is to pull the pins out of the hinges and simply remove the door.

(I have a great Bob Vila story to share sometime).

Had a nice looooong walk and am ready for movie time. And POSTS.

I'm hoping for another 40 or so to read when I get back to the board after some shopping time.
A quiet day.

Good Evening!

Greetings from Richmond. Nice drive down. And it gave me time to plan the rest of my week in regards to my move. I was toying with not heading up to NYC until next Tuesday since I have to be back in DC next Monday to play some more auditions down here. But then I realized that I should still head up Friday, and I'll go ahead and drive up too. This way I can bring up a bunch of stuff, and not have to worry about dragging bags-o-stuff through Penn Station and onto the subway. Then I'll drive back Sunday night, play Monday, and train back up on Tuesday.

Sounds like a plan to me.

In other news...

Well, there's really no other news right now...

But at least it's a post.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #113 on:** July 10, 2005, 08:17:26 PM »

Well, it's been another longish day, and I plan to have a longish day tomorrow - with lots of digging through my storage unit in store for me. I need my rest.

Goodnight.

Oh, my lord. Why should a bartender care whether the drink he makes has liquor in it or not? Sounds kind of snooty to me.

I haven't had a Shirley Temple in years, but they are delicious.

My mother likes to order a Shirley Temple.....with vodka

HAIRSPRAY was terrific fun from beginning to end. I had a smile on my face from the first moment Tracy started singing, and it never left. Funny, tuneful, just a feel-good time at the theater. Couldn't ask for more from a musical comedy.

Matt H. · « **Reply #116 on:** July 10, 2005, 08:35:57 PM »

Sitting next to me at HAIRSPRAY was a gay couple who had seen me in LA CAGE and who couldn't have been more complimentary. So, it ended up being a memorable night all around. (The couple were two hunks, either of which I could have instantly fallen for with an ounce of encouragement.)

Matt H. · « **Reply #117 on:** July 10, 2005, 08:39:18 PM »

I find it VERY hard to believe that Harvey Fierstein could win Best Actor in a Musical for the size part that Edna is in HAIRSPRAY. I think that's probably the biggest surprise of the show for me. It's really a supporting role, but I guess he was billed as a star of the show even if his role wasn't so big, and he seems so beloved in the theater community that they wouldn't deny him the award, but that just further points up a major weakness in Tony nomination procedures.

Matt H. · « **Reply #118 on:** July 10, 2005, 08:42:08 PM »

Before I left for the theater, I did manage to watch SYLVIA SCARLETT all the way through. Has Brian Aherne EVER been more photogenic in a film? No wonder Sylvia flipped for him.

It was nice to see it again, but I erased it from the DVR. I don't think I need a DVD of it as I won't be interested in seeing it again any time soon.

Matt H. · « **Reply #119 on:** July 10, 2005, 08:43:57 PM »

I then put in the DVD of SUSPICION and watched the documentary attacted to it. Was it Robert Osbourne or one of the other interviewed people who mentioned that Joan Fontaine fit the image of the Hitchcock woman since she was quiet, inward, blonde. Blonde? Since when?
