I thought Ron had decided to leave just as I answered his question.. He is it seems checking his own profile.. Vanity. All is vanity. LOL.

Not that you need to know but I am now about to drive to the Post Office.

One person watching MEDIUM "live" while the other watches it later from a recorded source sounds like a GREAT idea.

CSI: MIAMI started with a VERY disturbing image - CSI Ryan Wolf being rushed to the hospital with a nail driven right above his right eyelid. Then, the next half hour was a flashback to see how this had happened. Oh, boy, they had every opportunity for Ryan to have his eye exposed to nail guns and other situations where we thought this HAS to be the moment where the injury occurred. But, no! Those were false alarms until we finally got the payoff and saw it happen. Then, the rest of the show went about solving the inital murder and the injury to Ryan.

It's "live" EACH time....as each viewing is from a recorded source!

Not that I am aware of Ron.
I think our word "Scone" is used differently too! I remember a discussion with TCB a year ago. We still make Scones - as in the English variety -- afternoon tea - scones, jam and cream

This is never ending.. Jam is of course jelly to you I think. To us Jelly is whay you call jello.

I do remember sending a recipe for scones to both TCB and DR Panni.

We have jams, jellies and preserves. Jello is gelatin is Jello.

We have scones, as well.

But there ain't nothin' better than a properly made Toll House Cookie with chocolate chips and pecans.

KISS KISS BANG BANG was wild and wacky fun for part of the way, but the plot was so convoluted and everything (dialogue, scenes) moved at such a rat-ta-tat clip that I found it hard to keep up or to keep the very perplexing mystery sorted in my head.

Downey and Kilmer did well with their roles, but did they honestly think we'd believe Downey and the leading lady (forgotten the actress's name) were the same age? (In flashbacks they were in the same grade in school and played together.) He looked WAY older than she did.

Kilmer seemed to be having the time of his life playing that gay character.

No, the watching of the premiere telecast is "live." All others are not.

I forgot to mention that the opening credits for KISS KISS BANG BANG were as imaginative and fun as any credits I've seen in DECADES! They certainly set up the tone and pace of this frantic movie.

Back from a lovely meeting with the lovely Linda Purl. I'll be doing for her what I did for Mr. Kevin Spirtas - putting together a new one-person show for her. I really adore her, and it she's willing to go in new directions and to have fun. Her former act consisted of mostly standards, and when it was presented for bookers they didn't react well (they liked her, but the show didn't work for them) - she'd heard about Kevin's show, and since we had so much fun doing her album, she called me. So, I'll be having fun with Linda for the next couple of months.

Well, if quibbling is going to be the way of all things for this day, the word is spelled "Jell-O" and it's a specific trademarked brand name. According to www.m-w.com, "Jell-O" is:

Main Entry: Jell-O
Function: trademark
-- used for a gelatin dessert usually with the flavor and color of fruit

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #132 on:** November 15, 2005, 02:45:52 PM »

Honore to Gaston: "Have a piece of cheese."

Please note that while George is correct about the trademarked name, Kraft Foods uses "jello" without the hyphen (and it could easily have hyphenated it) in the URL for "Jello.com":

Off to clean the living room now, and then to watch some TV shows "live."

MR BISQUE - since you have an assistant who is writing down all of your blocking....

Last summer when I did PIPPIN, I made a word document for each number. Then if someone in the cast needed it, he/she would email me with the title of the song in the SUBJECT line, and I would reply with the choreography by "cut and paste" - made it simple!

We had THUNDER storms and rain and tornadoes (almost) all afternoon so I had to turn off the computer.

Still raining, but hopefully no MORE wind and hail!!

I just ordered a book called Technical Theatre for Non-Technical People. Has anyone else ever read/used this book?

WOW! Dr Allen Josephs just sent me an email with the subject: "FINALLY!! A safe canned tuna with an oustanding taste!"

I don't think I will open that email.

DR MS - don't forget the Museum of the City of New York at something like 105th and 5th!

I haven't been there in a long time. I remember they had a Broadway exhibit many original costumes. I wanted to take a closer look at Mary Martin's costume she wore for My Heart Belongs to Daddy. I got to close to it and the alarm went off. Scared the crap out of me.

I remember when the voice over at the end of comedy series would say
__________ was filmed in front of a live studio audience. I don't think they would do the show at Forest Lawns. No standing ovations.

Michael · « **Reply #144 on:** November 15, 2005, 03:47:58 PM »

So I will probably go see Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. I will skip Chitty. Who really needs to see a car fly. I will also go see Avenue Q and probably Souvenir.

Michael · « **Reply #145 on:** November 15, 2005, 03:49:01 PM »

Another Question.

Those that have been to the Museum of Broadcasting do you know if you can do research and look up all the tv or radio appearances of an actor or actress?

It is an eccentric use of a word not at all "easily reflective" of the intent.

"Live TV" is an event that is aired as it happens. The state of the viewer is always "live" and it is a redundancy to say you're watching a pre-recorded event "live." It's also an abomination of the English language.

Watching something "live" in this context is applicable to every "watching" experience. It's as silly as saying you're watching it "dead" or "comatose".

So, DRRon, what single word would you suggest DRMatt use instead of "live"? Not a phrase, which would not be in the spirit of what he was telling us, but a single word that would convey the same sentiment?

Maybe tonight I should watch The Country Music Awards on CBS - they're LIVE, and Joe Nichols will be appearing, he'll be live, too; I'll be living while I'm watching live.
