"Evita"  - OK  I'm not serious.

But I would include "The Motor Cycle Diaries"

Good Morning!  Good Afternoon!

I'm up.  I'm up!  -Actually, I've been up for bit already since I had a phone call from a fellow pianist/keyboard player/conductor-type looking for a bit of professional advice/musings.  Interesting way to start the day.  In any case...

I have a feeling we're going to fast food it today: either Taco Bell or Jack-in-the-Box are my guesses. I usually let him pick since my cast iron stomach can eat anything.

I don't think I've seen REDS since I saw it in the theater on its original release. I liked it then. I wonder how I'd feel about it now.

Well, since no one has mentioned it - one of my all-time faves: The Jolson Story. I, too, love Spirit of St. Louis (finally coming to DVD this year).

As for bio pics...

The one that seems to stick in my mind, and mainly for all it's excess...

"The Music Lovers" - Tchaikovsky via Ken Russell.

Oh, then I guess "Lisztomania" could be included here too.  ;)

And in the non-Ken Russell realm...

"Impromptu" - Chopin - with Hugh Grant and Judy Davis (and Bernadette Peters).

The mail brought bills, bills, one stock dividend, and TV GUIDE. Alas, no new DVDs to play with.

...and then there was that bio-pic about Natalie Cole's little-known, underachieving sister:  COLE'S MINOR DAUGHTER.

And I've not gotten a shipping notice from Amazon about HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE. Has anyone who pre-ordered it from Amazon heard from them about shipping?

elmore, the class isn't rigid but is mostly about interpretation, acting a song - we're about to work on scenes that lead into songs or songs that have interior dialogue in them - but I'd like to do some sort of lecture tomorrow about something.

DR Dan (the Man) - Dave McKean's artwork is the inspiration for the scenic design of Lestat, and he's also "composed" the video sequences used in the show.  Truly "fantastic" work.

I've watched many an Oscarcast in my day...and have many of them recorded.

But last night's....Y-A-W-N.

2 1/2 hours I'd gladly trade for just about anything else.

I watched it last summer, DR Matt.  It still holds up for me.

And I'm sure other newspapers had similar headlines in their TV columns today...

"Jon Stewart - Keep Your "Daily" Job"

;)

I didn't mind John Stewart's efforts last night.  I think the fault lies - not with me, as usual - but with the way the Oscars are formatted now.  Even though most of my memories of the Oscars from the 70's and early 80's are kind of vague, the ceremonies did not seem so planned, so structured back then.  Yes, they had musical numbers, tributes and montages, but there was always a sense of impromptu in the air.  And it was this sense of liberty that allowed the hosts - especially Johnny Carson - to truly be hosts, to think on their feet, to comment when necessary, to make jokes when necessary... To be funny.

With all the worry about censors and political correctness, I have a sense that the host of the Oscars - whoever he/she may be - is following a script the whole evening, or at least a highly-suggested outline.  Even the off-the-cuff remarks have been rehearsed and run by the network execs.

...Just a thought.

Thanks for that info, DR Jose.  I just checked out his bio at the LESTAT website and discovered a number of things about him that I was unaware of.  What I couldn't find was whether he designed the poster for the show.  Do you know if he did or not?

RE: The current tour of Joseph... with Patrick Cassidy...

My favorite line from The Washington Post review when the show played here last Fall (and when I was in the pit for it)...

"Man, that Joseph is ripped!"

;D

*And, alas, Amy Adams does look a bit dowdy in her costume and wig.

**And now there is talk - quite serious talk actually - of bring this tour back into NYC sometime in 2007.  Hmm...
