Well, you've read the notes, the notes were not succinct or to the point, and now it is time for you to post until the regularly scheduled cows come home.

Back from the airport. Traffic was NOT tripe....in fact traffic was LIGHT. So my sister is on her way to Seattle via Atlanta via Delta.

Yes fight scenes MUST be done correctly. I carefully choreographed the one in I'LL BE BACK BEFORE MIDNIGHT - it involved physical combat, a gun, a fight with a shovel and a scythe, strangling, falls onto the floor, and over furniture.....and more....all done in the "dark." It was very exciting to see and to watch the audience reaction. But it was scary every night - because all of the implements were real.

Kong is climbing the Empire State Building. That is all....

I MIGHT have forgiven the 2005 KING KONG some of its overlength IF they had said my favorite line from the 1933 version.....oh and if it had had a better music score....and if.....oh nevermind....I can't forgive them ALL of their trespasses.

Good morning, all! I'm listening to Leroy Anderson conducting his music. This great CD set I have includes a lot of music from GOLDILOCKS, and I have become addicted to the "Lady in Waiting" ballet music, which is quite a wonderful variation on the song's melody. Since this was an Agnes DeMille show, I'm wondering if the original dance arrangement was notated by Trude Rittmann for Anderson to compose, as she did for Weill on ONE TOUCH OF VENUS?

DR George, good luck with the real estate search. I think it's great you're contemplating buying something. I have to second your opinion on THE OFFICE. Perhaps it's too many morons supervising office jobs I've worked for in the past, but the show generally leaves me uncomfortable and dismayed at the inertia of the employees in getting their oaf manager sacked.

Today I hopefully finish Miss Karen Ziemba's chart and get back to Toyland full time.

TOD:
CD: Leroy Anderson, Lisa Richard, Guy Haines, some of the Classics for Pleaaure operetta discs
DVD: Mozart operas
VCR: for DR Jose, THE PLUMBER COMES

Congrats, DakotaCelt, on 1000 posts.

Good morning, Larry.

In my Cd players -

Celine Dion Greatest Hits*
New Guy in Town
Hairspray
Cyndi Lauper - She's So Unusual

*For some reason, I got this sudden urge to listen to "That's the Way It Is" hence the return of Celine Dion's CD to the player

In the middle of the night, I was struck by the lyric of the Pufnstuf song sung by Jack Wild called "Mechanical Boy" - I'm recalling it to the best of my memory because I can't find the actual lyric on the web:

I do as I'm ordered
I never ask why
I never can laugh
And I never can cry
I never have lived
So I never shall die
That's because I'm a mechanical boy

Good morning!

We have a brisk, beautiful morning here, much colder than the previous two mornings but just perfect for early March. I feel a walk might be in the offing later today.

Dick Wolf's new lawyer show CONVICTION premieres tonight in the old TRIAL BY JURY timeslot (NBC/ 10 p.m.). It hasn't gotten very good reviews by any critics that I have read, but I will give it a try nevertheless.

MONK will have to be recorded tonight.

Thanks for the Jason report Jose... wouldn't it be fun if he was "discovered" while he was there?

I've been listening to Billy Elliot (OCR-L) before heading to sleep. Which doesn't make sense, considering how percussive much of the music is. But that's the way it is.

And I've been too busy with work and cooking to watch much on DVD.

Matt H. · « **Reply #29 on:** March 03, 2006, 07:11:28 AM »

Speaking of LADY AND THE TRAMP, I can remember that my mom took the kids at my birthday party to see LADY AND THE TRAMP when I was a kid. One of the best birthdays I can ever remember. I sang "The Siamese Cat Song" for weeks afterward.

A big disappointment at the time was that there was no soundtrack album for LADY AND THE TRAMP. You could buy Little Golden Records of anonymous singers singing some of the songs, and even into the 60s and 70s, there was a studio LP but no soundtrack. Disney did that with several of its animated features like ALICE IN WONDERLAND - no soundtrack but a studio recording.

Thankfully, you could get soundtracks for SNOW WHITE, PETER PAN, CINDERELLA, and PINOCCHIO.
