Well, you've read the notes, therefore you are in the know and with it and happening, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they've just realized it's August and instead of their usual "Moo" they all said, "Aha."

And the word of the day is: PICAYUNE!

My first thoughts:
Moricone's score for "The Mission"
Sir Ian McK for "Gods and Monsters".

Any song other than the Eminem "song". (I would liked to have seen Paul Simon's song from "The Wild Thornberries" win. The song from "The Color Purple" should also have won in it's year.

I was very remiss, oh, yes, I was very remiss in my thoughts on Last Train From Gun Hill - I did not mention the absolutely wonderful and luminous performance of Miss Carolyn Jones.

All right - I'm going to share the first blurb for Rewind. I have thought long and hard and also hard and long about how to deal with the book on this here site. I think that what will be best is to not discuss the plot of the book at all - that way, it's a surprise for everyone who reads it. I know you'll all understand this completely, starting with this very blurb. I'm really proud of this blurb - feel free to say you like it, etc. without going into further detail at this time. Here is the blurb:

"Bruce Kimmel's Rewind is a fascinating work of fiction, an alternately
dark, witty and chilling account of the trouble an honorable man can get
into in the music business, enhanced by intriguing 'insider' details that
spring from the author's apparently hard-earned experience as a record
producer. Good nasty, devious fun." Dick Lochte, author of Sleeping Dog, Blue Bayou, The Neon Smile.

DR MATTH mentioned yesterday;

Quote

If I had any objection with the book at all, it was Hitchcock's non-confrontational demeanor with Truffaut. When Hitch gauges that Truffaut didn't like a particular film (can't remember the ones now; possibly THE PARADINE CASE or TORN CURTAIN) rather than defend his work or the films or explain what went wrong, he just passes over them quickly.
I don't think he was intimidated by Truffaut as much as that he simply didn't like to argue or makes scenes.

I, too, felt that Hitchcock did that kind of demeanor with Truffaut in it and I think, Hitchcock, with the presence of great director, received sincerely and modestly YOUNG Truffaut’s remarks to his films.

Good morning, all! This is my GOLDEN APPLE deadline week, so I'll be preoccupied with it and most likely boring you all with its minutiae. I've got to tackle Act Two of the Flute book this morning and schelp the harp part into Tams-Witmark to check some questions with the full score and string parts.

TOD:
1. Lynne Thigpen losing the Tony to Lauren Bacall.
2. Larry Hochman losing this year's Tony to LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA
3. Ian McKellan losing the Academy Award for GODS & MONSTERS

Here I am, all alone. I posted not a whit this past weekend. I had domestic chores and a play to see. I also went to bed early on Saturday since Sunday I needed to go shopping. Anthony was up in the Catskills for a special one day performance of a show. He went in spite of his ankle. It's still bothering him. He's thinking he might go back to the doctor. Perhaps an x-ray is in order to see if there is any other damage.

As much as I enjoyed (and enjoy) Cherry Jones and her wonderful work on stage, I do think Kathleen Turner was robbed this year. She deserved a Tony (IMHO) for Virginia Woolf. I may come up with more later.

I think that Julie Andrews should have received an oscar nomination for Duet For One. Jane Fonda received one for The Morining After which was not that deserving. Andrews gave her best performance ever.

Ghandi sweeping the Oscars that year. What were they thinking!

As much as I liked Ain't Misbehavin, I thought On the Twentieth Century more and it should have won Best Musical. (It did win for Best Score and Best Book)

Angela Lansbury should have won at least one Emmy by now and maybe she will finally win it this year.

Michael · « **Reply #11 on:** August 01, 2005, 04:54:51 AM »

BK:
Regarding the length problem of the cd. If you can't place the song opposites on the cd perhaps you can release the cd The Music of Bruce Kimmel. Drop the Stages and put the new one.

You could also add some other new songs you have written since then as well.

Ben · « **Reply #12 on:** August 01, 2005, 05:20:26 AM »

No new radio show this week.

Kerry · « **Reply #13 on:** August 01, 2005, 05:37:14 AM »

Yes, Angela lansbury should have won at least ONE emmy.

Judy Garland should have won for STAR IS BORN.

I won't go into the people who SHOULDN'T have won.

I hope Ant's ankle gets better. Have you tried kissing it?

Beatiful roses, Hisaka!!!

Ann · « **Reply #14 on:** August 01, 2005, 06:38:29 AM »

I spy our resident MTV star! Perhaps now we will find out whether the father/son duo will take the stage together.

I'm working a much earlier shift today than I'm used to, hence I went to bed early last night, and here I am very early in the morning. It's gray, cool, and rainy outside right now. A far cry from the gorgeous weather we've been having...ah well, it's supposed to return by the end of the week.

TPunk · « **Reply #15 on:** August 01, 2005, 07:02:21 AM »

I loved Amy Spanger as Lois/Bianca in the recent revival of Kiss Me Kate- she was definitely robbed of a Tony nomination.

AHA--one of my favorite one-hit wonder bands from the 80s.

I'm still up set that Chariots of Fire won over Reds as Best Picture. Also, The Last Emperor over Moonstruck.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #21 on:** August 01, 2005, 07:47:43 AM »

I love that idea, Michael Shayne. Then BK must also include the songs from THE RATINGS GAME.

vixmom · « **Reply #22 on:** August 01, 2005, 07:50:42 AM »

I have not caught up i hope everyone is well, although I do see from todays posts that Anthony has injured his ankle in some way

so

~~~HEALTHY ANKLE VIBES~~~~ to Anthony

Rodzinski · « **Reply #23 on:** August 01, 2005, 07:52:08 AM »

I thought the Cheyenne kid from "All Shook Up" deserved at least a nomination. If you think of what a Tony means, a star-making sort of performance that is universally enjoyed by those who see it, carries a show, shows good comic timing and skill, has people leaving the theatre talking about him, that was deserving of a nomination.

Oscar-wise, Warren Oates, TWO-LANE BLACKTOP.

vixmom · « **Reply #24 on:** August 01, 2005, 07:54:49 AM »

Grande Praire, Alberta, Canada was cold ( 50 - 60 degrees)

and rainy

and boring

Matt H. · « **Reply #25 on:** August 01, 2005, 07:55:18 AM »

There are so many Oscar and Tony mistakes that I will be naming my biggest peeves all throughout today.

First, for movies, Judy Garland should have won Best Actress for A STAR IS BORN over Grace Kelly in THE COUNTRY GIRL. Kelly's role was really a supporting one, and her performance is adequate, nothing more.

Matt H. · « **Reply #26 on:** August 01, 2005, 07:56:00 AM »

For Tonys, of course I think FOLLIES should have won Best Musical over TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA.

Matt H. · « **Reply #27 on:** August 01, 2005, 07:56:37 AM »

Speaking of Lauren Bacall, don't forget that her interview with Robert Osborne comes on tonight at 8 p.m. EDT on TCM.

Matt H. · « **Reply #28 on:** August 01, 2005, 08:01:09 AM »

I guess I can understand how Julie Andrews lost her three Tony nominations to Judy Holliday, Elizabeth Seal, and Donna Murphy (which she undoubtedly would have won had she not denied her nomination), but I can't understand why the League and Wing haven't voted her a special Tony. Those great theater legends like Barry Manilow, Diana Ross, and Bette Midler have all been voted special Tonys. Julie should have one, too.

Matt H. · « **Reply #29 on:** August 01, 2005, 08:01:47 AM »

TITANIC should never have won Best Picture over L.A. CONFIDENTIAL.
