As far as I can tell Danise & Michael Shayne only have storms to worry about. Speaking of Michael, where are you?

As anyone found a good site to track Wilma?

I'm right here at my computer

Well, I learned today that the Styne employee who held up my DARLING OF THE DAY contract from Sept 2004 to now is telling folk that I screwed up by not finishing the score for the April 2005 Muft performances. As I told him in April, I don't work without a contract and your delays screwed up the dates for the copyist to prepare the parts. I will not be a scapegoat for administrative incompetence.

Good for you Larry. Don't let them give you any crap!!

Re: Jean Simmons

The Robe: Simmons and Richard Burton are walking in front of a process screen to represent their accessension into heaven.

Spartacus: Simmons and Peter Ustinov are driving down a road with many people being crucified.

However in Elmer Gantry she is burned to death because of her religious views.

And in she wondered if she was a bell in Guys and Dolls

Margaritas at my house if anyone wants to get drunk and rip on it with me

If not for those pesky 3,000 miles between here and there... Ann and I are ALWAYS up for ripping bad shows, particularly with margaritas involved!

Hi Michael. Is it rainging? From what I can tell Wilma shouldn't head your way. Am I correct?

It is not rainging and neither is it raining.

Actually the storm shouldn't reach the west coast of Florida until early Monday morning. I am on the east coast and I hope by then it will become a tropical storm or no more than a category 1. But we will have to see during the next few days.

Rainging-LOL. Maybe it is time I get off the computer. I’m doing research in-between posting or I would.

Just to remind that Kelsey Grammer's version of A CHRISTMAS CAROL aired on SUnday night last year during December to DISMAL ratings.

And ONCE UPON A MATTRESS isn't even a holiday-themed musical.

Wonder how many songs from the original will make it into this version. No TV version yet has done the music justice.

Kelsey Grammer's A CHRISTMAS CAROL was DISMAL.

TOTD: DR Colin was (and still is) fond of "Sparky and The Magic Piano". Also Tubby the Tuba (To which I seem to have a resemblance these days).

I enjoyed "Peter, Paul & Mommy" and played it to my niece and nephew.

I always prefered "Sparky and The Magic Organ."

LOL.

I did not see "Joe vs the Volcano" after hearing the ending was horrible. I'm sorry to say I don't remember, or never saw "Bird of Paradise".

It is one of the biblical movies. At the end the, very much in love, couple dies because they won’t denounce their Christianity. You don’t see them die, the camera just fades off into the clouds or something.

I saw BIRD OF PARADISE on Saturday Night at the Movies when I was around ten or eleven years old. Even at that young age, seeing Louis Jourdan barechested and wearing only a sarong in that movie may well have been the exact moment I realized that I was gay!

Jean's version of A Little Night Music is my favorite. Glynnis Johns is a very close second and Judi Dench is a very close third.

Jean Simmons wasn't in DEMETRIUS AND THE GLADIATORS unless you count the few bits of the ending of THE ROBE tacked onto the sequel.

Yes, yes, I'm here, and I'd better get this paper finished tonight or else Dr. C will take me to The Fifth Floor and hang me up-side-down from the ceiling by my fingernails. I heard they do that on The Fifth Floor.

Once I finished THE SEVENTH VICTIM (OK with a surprising ending), instead of starting another Val Lewton, I put in the overly Technicolored LOVELY TO LOOK AT on videotape.

The tape box says clearly that it's a new Technicolor Restoration, and I guess that's why it looks SO saturated. Usually videotape looks pale on these larger screen TVs, but not LOVELY TO LOOK AT. Very bright and deep colors.

Good Evening!

Back from yet another performance of Joseph... Another good night, and a slightly larger audience too. However, I did notice that TicketPlace, DC's equivalent of TKTS, has already put up a block of 1/2 price tickets for each of the remaining shows this week. Which - as I suspected - means the show is not selling that well. Ah, well... As long as my check clears...

*Although, we're being paid by the same producer that currently owes me two other checks for work I've done for them over the past two months, so... Hopefully, the check for this gig won't be "floating" and/or "in the mail".

Matt H. · « **Reply #238 on:** October 20, 2005, 08:46:13 PM »

ALIAS continued along its merry way tonight with Sydney once again being the mentor to a new spy-wannabe.

Nice to see Stephen Spinnella guest starring on the show tonight (in the Ron Rifkin storyline), but otherwise, it was pretty much more of the same but without the crackle of the first two years.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #239 on:** October 20, 2005, 08:46:32 PM »

Now let's see what I remember...

As for Patrick Cassidy being blond... Hmm... I dunno. Maybe to make him look more "angelic", I guess. -All the brothers are brunettes.

*And Amy Adams does have her signature patches of bright red/pink in her hair. -And I noticed that her bio mentions that the producers of "American Idol" were the ones who approached the producers of the Joseph tour about her being the Narrator. Hmmm....
