D-t-M: As soon as I see those colored robes blowing in the wind I start getting choked up, but then...when she starts yelling, "NETTIE!!," that's when I lose it.

And the scene where Mister is throwing Nettie out...? Oh, my God...it kills me.

Nothin' but death can keep me from it!

I totally agree with the people talking about the lack of Tony nominations this year for ALL SHOOK UP.  I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but my gut tells me the nominators just took a stand against the show in principle, as there were so many elements that felt more worthy than the contributions of people that were nominated for other shows.  It's almost like they were being punished for having accepted employment with or in a jukebox musical.  Totally overlooking the show seemed like a statement of some sort.  

And while we're at it, while there really was no chance, I felt that Kate Reinders in GOOD VIBRATIONS was a more worthy nominee than at least two of the Leading Actresses in a Musical who were nominated.

It's a small point, but I don't know what production of TOM SAWYER Jose saw, but the set I saw was the only good thing about the show. It had a crazy waterfall, an impressionistic, multi-level cave system, a beautifully-rendered giant tree for the picnic sequence, decent school and courtroom. I definitely remember that set.

Alas, the lead singer of Big Country hung himself a couple years ago, so unless they pull a crass idea like this INXS show, they are no more.

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.

I really like is blurb, it makes me want to read the book.


How do you "get" blurbs?  Do you send preview version of the book to people with the request they give you a blurb or does your publisher do that for you?  And how do you decide who to send it to and ask for a blurb from? And whoever made up the work blurb? That's a made up word if I ever heard one!!

Re: A FACE IN THE CROWD. I may be in the minority here, but I think Andy Griffith overacts beyond reason in that film.

Re: THE RULING CLASS, yes Ron. A dynamic performance!

Also, Alan Arkin in CATCH-22 should have been honored.

Well... Since you asked...

July 16 - Moved to NYC. At least brought the first load of stuff up.
July 17 - Drove back to DC since...
July 18 - ...I had to play more auditions in DC.
July 19 - Drove down to Richmond at 6:30am to fetch a paycheck that had gone astray.  Drove back up to DC around 9:00.  Drove back up to NYC, courtesy of my pal, Curt.  Brought up more stuff.
July 20-22 - Auditions, Auditions, Auditions in NYC
July 25 - I bough an air conditioner for my room in NYC - Harlem to be exact, 145th and St. Nicholas.
July 25 (evening) - Got a call from Williamstown...
July 26 - Hemmed and hawed over the over the offer from Williasmstown.
July 27 - I said, "Yes," to Williamstown.
July 28-30 - Relaxed for a bit in the City.  Actually "lived" in my new apartment for a few days.
July 31 - Trained up to Williamstown.  Started rehearsals that afternoon.

...And that brings us to today.

Whew!

I'm up here for three weeks working on a new musical.  It's a workshop situation, and it's part of a new program that Roger Rees instituted this year called leapFROG.  Check out wtfestival.org for particulars.  -And after this week, on official press release about the project I'm working on should be coming out.  -Yeah!  My name in the papers again!  ;)

So... That's what I've been up to.

;)

Boy,  I leave the country for two weeks (well Canda... that's sorta like leaving the country funny looking money and all)
and you run all over the place.... of course that's your usual  modus operandi   anyway isn't it?

This past year, I was disappointed that The Incredibles was nominated only as Best Animated Film and not as Best Picture.  I felt it was strong enough to receive a nomination in the bigger category.

In the case of these two blurbs, I know the authors and I simply asked them to do it, with the only caveat being that they DON'T do it if they don't like the book.  Happily, they both really liked it, hence the blurbs.

Tomovoz is now the second order I've found that didn't get printed out.  I'm going to now have to cross reference every order with the paypal page.  Very very disturbing.

Bette Davis in ALL ABOUT EVE and Gloria Swanson in SUNSET BOULEVARD.  But I can't complain about Judy Holliday's win the same year.  What a choice to have to make!

I think Brian Keith did a wonderful Theodore Roosevelt in THE WIND AND LION - and in fact I think Sean Connery was also VERY good in the same film.  I also liked the score and script!
