Well, you've read the notes, the notes at least achieved some sort of wind, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently gone with the wind.

And the word of the day is: LEGATION!
-
And a very happy haineshisway.com birthday to occasional dear reader Donna.
-
I think I'll try to go to bed in about ten minutes.

NOTICE - in about 10 days or so, HHW will hit a major milestone - one half a million posts! (That's a lot of lumber.)

How Green Blue Was My Jose's Valley...

RE: The $14,99 Blu Ray sale.
The ones that I bought were all Warner Bros. So Warners Must being doing some kind of promo if other major chains like Virgin and J & R are doing it.

The LEGATION from Fredonia was NOT AGILE - whenever a traveler asked if they could get a Visa, they would reply that Fredonia only took American Express.

ASK BK:
Do you plan to see the opera version of The Fly (Based on the version that DR Pogue wrote)

Here's a question for Ask BK Day:
San Francisco is supposed to have one of the most promenent gay communities in the United States, in the world in fact.
So why is it that there has never been a television series set in San Francisco that has had a prominent gay character?
I mean, look back: We've had everything from The Streets of San Francisco to Ironside to The Doris Day Show. From Full House to Dharma & Greg to Nash Bridges. From Charmed to Women's Murder Club to That's So Raven.
We've had Party of Five, Mr. Merlin, The Suite Life of Zach and Cody, Journeyman and Hotel, where you'd have thought that at least a bellhop might be gay.
These days, we've got Monk. He's queer, but not gay.
We've got Eli Stone. SO not gay, even if a lot of the music is.
Even with Too Close for Comfort, nobody was gay, in spite of Jim J. Bullock.
(Tales of the City doesn't count - that, and it's sequels, were miniseries, not ongoing series and therefor not at all the same thing, and they were based on novels, not original.)
So, as far as television series go, it seems that San Francisco being filled with gay denizens (and denizettes) is really just a myth.
Any ideas why this could be?
(My own personal theory is that it's a plot by the community of Oakland, as revenge for Gertude Stein's comment about there being "no there there," but that's just a theory, and I have no idea how they're pulling it off.)

Morning all.
Even though it's the end of summer it's actually a beautiful crisp fall day her in Manhattan. The temperature is in the high 60s and it is supposed to get up only to the mid-70s. It's great walking weather, sleeping weather and Union Square Greenmarket weather.
-
Laura, thanks for the phone number link from last night. I will send it home and bookmark it.

Time to celebrate!!
(no, DR TCB, I did not say "celebate"...)
It's National TV Dinner Day!!!!! :D

-
Good morning, all! I have to put the laundry into the washers and head out for my walk. I think today I will walk up to 96th Street on Amsterdam Ave and walk back on Broadway
After that, I have more Jerome Moross work and a series of inquiries to make concerning a number that I thought we recorded from "The Lady Of The Slipper" in 2001 but which is not in any of my sound files.
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And a friend of mine just texted me from Central Park. He's currently in line for Hair tickets. And he might pick up an extra one for me. We shall see. -He also said it's a short line this morning, so... Hmm... However, I had planned to do the line tomorrow, so...
-
Oohh... Greenmarket... Hmm...
-
Personally, I was distinctly underwhelmed by Fringe. Too many tonal shifts and I saw every "twist" coming a mile (and/or three commercials) away. Cool bumper graphics, though. :)
-
I was much more impressed with the Cinerama Adventure extra on HTWWW--a loving tribute to the process. I'm not sure if I actually saw anything in a "real" Cinerama theater. I remember distinctly my sisters taking me to The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm (I still remember a scene with a dizzy Russ Tamblyn trying to walk over a footbridge with tons of holes in it), but I was so young I can't remember if it was Cinerama or a flat rerelease.
-
Watching Fringe last night reminded me again of how visceral Lost was from the first moment--I was hooked within seconds and never looked back. While that opening segment was great, if patently derivative of about 20 X-Files episodes, I was disengaged pretty quickly once the actual show started.

"Fringe" provided a couple of LOL moments, as well as some "There's no way...!?!?!?" moments for me and my roommates last night while we were watching it. However, we'll keep watching for now.
I did read some of the reviews after watching the show last night, and most of the reviewers seemed to be in agreement on one thing: FOX spent a lot of money of the pilot episode. ;)
*One thing that did distract us was the leading actress' uncanny resemblance to Cate Blanchett - and she's Australian too! -Oh, and just how many times her character introduced herself. -We thought it could make a good drinking game.
-
Good morning, everyone.
i can only stay a couple minutes, but I wanted to pass on a movie recommendation. I watched BLACK BOOK last night and thought it was wonderful. I hadn't heard about it during its theatrical release and I don't recall it being mentioned here (not that means much). It takes place at the end of WWII and is just sooo well done, IMO.
Gotta scoot.
TTFN.
-
Good morning!
Overcast and not very cool again this morning. We got no rain yesterday after the clouds rolled by (a Jerome Kern reference), so let's see if we get any today.
-
I'll watch a couple more episodes of FRINGE to see if the hourlong version is any tighter. As I said last night, it felt padded last night. Now that we have a lot of talky exposition out of the way, let's see where they go with it.

Wednesday morning greetings! Just stopping by for a minute between meetings. My day is solid meetings, 8:30am-4pm, and I'm hosting and speaking at the one in the middle.
-
I was planning to watch and write-up THE LOVE GURU this afternoon but the UPS man just left the 2-disc IRON MAN set on my doorstep, so I'm doing that instead. I think my boss would be much happier about my giving priority to one of the year's biggest hits rather than to one of the year's biggest flops.
-
On TV tonight:
BONES!!
PROJECT RUNWAY!
-
Because there is almost four fours of bonus material with IRON MAN, I'm not sure I'll get to either one of tonight's TV show musts. Luckily, stuff on the DVR doesn't disappear overnight, so I do have time to watch it.
-
And the word of the day is: LEGATION!
And The Song Of The Day Is: THE HOSTESS WITH THE MOSTES' ON THE BALL
-
OK, sorry - but does anyone seriously believe that The Large Hadron Collider can create a black hole that will swallow the earth?

RE: The $14,99 Blu Ray sale.
The ones that I bought were all Warner Bros. So Warners Must being doing some kind of promo if other major chains like Virgin and J & R are doing it.
It's too bad the BD player manufacturers aren't ALSO having a sale. It's one thing to sell, sell, sell BD discs. But what are they doing to ATTRACT people to actually buy a BD player?
-
Still haven't caught up completely form my D.C. trip, but I am doing close to my best to catch up.
-
Speaking of BD players, I'm expecting to go to Princeton, NJ tonight to see B.D. Wong in Skip's show Herringbone at the McCarter, so I'll probably be E&T (Entertained & Traveled) tonight as well.

I mean, look back: We've had everything from The Streets of San Francisco to Ironside to The Doris Day Show. From Full House to Dharma & Greg to Nash Bridges. From Charmed to Women's Murder Club to That's So Raven.
From what I read went on behind the scenes at "Dharma & Greg", I think Thomas Gibson's diva tirades (especially directed at "guests" on the show) pretty much sated any of the producers' interests in having an actual gay character on that show.
-
I'm back from my walk and a trip to the market. The laundry is in the dryers, and I have to tidy and vacuum the apartment before I can settle down to work.
I just finished an interesting, if rather dry, book given the subject, THE GRAND HORIZONTALES, a study of four famous Parisian courtesans of the mid-19th Century during the Second Empire, the most famous being Marie Duplessis who inspired the novel, play and film versions of CAMILLE, and Cora Pearl, the British tart who made her Parisian stage debut as Cupid in a revival of Offenbach's Orphee aux enfers. I prefer Zola's novel NANA, loosely based on the creer of Offenbach's star Hortense Schneider, which is anything but dry in its study of Second Empire prostitution, the demimonde, a lot of stupid but very wealthy sex addicts who bankrupt themselves and the whores who treat them like crap.
-
ASK BK:
Do you plan to see the opera version of The Fly (Based on the version that DR Pogue wrote)
I would like to if I could get good seats and not pay the ridiculously expensive prices they charge.
-

I met him a couple of times at the Drama Book Shop and backstage at a TWELFTH NIGHT in Central Park. I didn't find him a nice person at all.
-

It need not have been a re-release. There were only a handful of Cinerama theaters in 1962, so you may have seen the wider first-run CinemaScope version.
-
I was hoping to sleep a little later but alas I did not.
-
THE FLY is in LA?
-
I met him a couple of times at the Drama Book Shop and backstage at a TWELFTH NIGHT in Central Park. I didn't find him a nice person at all.
Of course, he was much younger then. I thought the character he played in TALES OF THE CITY was pretty close to his real persona.
-
Didn't Ironside take place in San Francisco?
-
THE FLY is in LA?
That's the buzz.
-
Congrats to DR MATTHEW on his home...and here's hoping closing is complete before your Vacation?
Congrats to DRS JED & ANN on becoming parents....
-
bk - Do you want to see "The Fly"? ;)
-
I thought Jose's friend was the guy who played the twins.
Oh.
Perhaps! I guess I wasn't paying enough attention. :-\
-
Probably do what?
Probably believe that the earth will be swallowed by a black hole created by the particle collider.
-
I thought "Fringe" an exceptional first (pilot) episode to a new series.
Those 90 minutes flew by for me. Primarily, however, the show's M.O. was, to me, an introduction to the characters and a set-up for the female lead's introduction to a more secretive investigation branch of the federal government. Scully and Mulder never found themselves in such an adversarial relationship as those two last night.
As it is, the "no way" moments some are commenting upon are intentional. Most people simply won't believe that anything like what this show will portray could be possible, but that is also entirely the point -- that science has moved so far ahead of what most of us can comprehend that it has become impossible to regulate. Thus, the necessity to investigate and try to prevent unspeakable horrors being unleased upon an unsuspecting public. I was very pleased with the character set-ups, and I think this show might have legs.
Like Jose, I will continue to watch for now.
-
Nice cool day today.
I watched SILK last night, a movie with Keira Knightley and Michael Pitt...romantic drama with some nice performances and an interesting story.
Then I watched a movie I had never even heard of:
SOUTHLAND TALES with Duane THE ROCK Johnson, Sean William Scott, Sarah Michelle Gellar and a bunch of familar TV people.
Released in 2006, it's a graphic novel type of movie about nuclear war and the 2008 election.....hard to explain, but if you like the action movie with lots of killing and cussing, you might like this.
It's all about a rip in the time/space fabric and what happens if one person exists twice in the same time frame...and well, as Duane tells Bai Ling: "If that happens, the 4th dimension will collapse in on itself, you dumb bitch."
-
Of course, he was much younger then. I thought the character he played in TALES OF THE CITY was pretty close to his real persona.
I've read "that", too! :)
-
True dat about the curved screen, DR MATTH...but sometimes watching them flat is creepy.
-
Oh.
Perhaps! I guess I wasn't paying enough attention. :-\
But I wouldn't mind having Mark Valley as a friend. -And I'm not talking on Facebook. ;)

POSSIBLE "FRINGE" SPOILER
DR Ron Pulliam - Most of the "no way" moments for me and my roommates centered around the lack of security guards and other surveillance in the hospital, in the lab... Well, especially at the hospital. However, maybe that's all part of the bigger picture. The uber-, ultra-science aspect didn't bother us at all.
And we all did like how the whole set-up and relationships were set up.
-

It's never been creepy for me. I get so caught up in the stars, the spectacle, and that fabulous music score that it just captivates me. One of my all-time favorite movies.

It need not have been a re-release. There were only a handful of Cinerama theaters in 1962, so you may have seen the wider first-run CinemaScope version.

I am reviewing the Berkeley set. It's not A-list Berkeley, if that's any consolation. It does have the missing Tiptoe through the Tulips segment that got left off of Jazz Singer.

We're waiting to find out about inspections now. More later, I'm sure.

IKE is still on track to blast the Texas coast on Saturday morning.
Texas would like to evacuate the threatened communities; however, a complication has arisen - the hosts of illegal immigrants populating the Rio Grande valley distrust the authorities and are unwilling to work with the system. Let's hope this is not a human disaster in the making.

The rain has not arrived (if it's going to at all).
-
Actually, my meetings today weren't really uninterupted, but back-to-back. Between the first and second, I did get to drive my car from Panera to the library. Between the second and third was when I popped in here for a minute.
-
I began my afternoon viewing with another episode of THE OFFICE while I cooked and ate lunch. This was the one with Ryan introducing the staff to the new internet ordering service for the company. Lots of funny things in the double episode.
-
Little Caesar's "Pizza, Pizza" is one of my favorite double talks. A guy at our local Apple store taught my mother to double click a computer mouse by telling her to think "Pizza, Pizza."
-
I also watched the deleted scenes for the episode, like always filled with almost enough jokes for another entire episode.

"Nanu Nanu"

I spent a good portion of the afternoon with IRON MAN. It's a very enjoyable superhero movie, but honestly, I enjoyed the first X-MEN more (if we're talking about heroes from the Marvel comic world). I did enjoy it more than the first SPIDER-MAN.
Didn't find the transfer rave-worthy. Too brown, some smearing and softness in long shots, and some aliasing here and there, too. Even more of a surprise, the Dolby DIgital sound was much less active than the usual comic book movie. It was very good, but it didn't blow me out of my seat. Or maybe I've just been so impressed with the new high definition encodes that the old compressed Dolby Digital versions sound a little less awe-inspiring now.
-
I received my package with "Boy on a Dolphin"....and OH! BOY! Inside was an extra compliments of the CD's producer!!!!
-
I began on the bonus features. There are 11 deleted/extended scenes on disc one. I can see why all of these trims were made.
-
Then, I went to disc two and began with those bonus items. The first is a 108-minute documentary on the making of the film from initial designs on. I am only about 25 minutes into this first documentary. There are several others on the second disc which will take me much of the evening to go through.
-
No one's mentioned the French actress Miou Miou; I could never take her seriously with that stupid name.
-
I did scan through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. Luke was there in a very minor way watching the wedding of his brother take place. Nothing in the previews for tomorrow.

Social Networking Sites Not Just for Friends — They're Also for the Feds (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,419705,00.html)
Guess who may be checking you out on Facebook, Wikipedia and MySpace?
The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI are poring over non-verifiable profiles on the Web to help decide who should be allowed into the country and who may pose a threat to national security.
Information is even being collected through Google searches, DHS and FBI sources confirmed to FOXNews.com.
…
Even U.S. citizens are having their Web profiles reviewed. People who buy one-way airline tickets, for example, are automatically flagged for security reasons, and authorities say a passenger’s name may be crosschecked against Facebook, YouTube or MySpace.
…
"It's shocking what's out there about you on the Internet — what you wrote on that Facebook page, MySpace page back in high school that you don't use anymore. Anything you've ever written and anything anyone's ever written about you, it's all still there," said Kuck

I just spoke to my sister-in-law Jo; her beautiful dog Maddy will be in surgery on Friday morning to have a large lump removed from her hip. She told me that Lady Macbeth broke her foot or ankle this past Saturday night (Jo's as apathetic as I am). Just when I was thinking about sending her painless methods of suicide. Why does everything bad happen to me?

Wow!?!?
So did you just have a great, late afternoon lunch at Shake Shack too?!?!
;D
*And I even went for the Double Stack today. Come to think of it, today's burger was my first one here in months (since I've mainly been a B-line person lately). Still one of the best burgers in NYC. :)

Back from a really fun lunch meeting. Had my double chicken breast with sauteed onions and garlic, only I had a single rather than a double.

Oy--not one, not two, but three large boxes of review discs arrived. Everything from Will & Grace 8 to Torchwood 2 to a slew of Goosebumps (the title of my next novel, BTW) to Cybill (not to be confused with Sybil) to Robotech to.....
I've got some watchin' to do.

I got an interesting DVD today - a region 2 copy of Darling Lili - as film fans know, the region 1 release was a recut that Blake Edwards did, which is considerably shorter than the film as originally released. The cut scenes were included as an extra, but there was no way to watch the film with them included. The region 2 DVD is the film as it was originally released at 137 minutes.
-
Wow, everyone is getting movies!
At lunch I popped over to Best Buy and picked up WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS and RODAN
(both movie include the Japanese and English dubbed versions...plus a nifty documentary that interviews many of the old Toho Studios actors!)

And with any luck the mailman will bring me the DVD of OPERA HOUSE.

Well of course OPERA HOUSE is cultural...it is a 1961 Bollywood murder mystery starring Ajit and Shakila.

Went to Gelson's to get a snack - a little of their egg salad and a little crab salad. Just enough to keep my stomach in non-hungry mode. And since lunch was REALLY light today and I did do the long jog, I'm sure it's all fine. I also had cantaloupe balls for dessert, and how many places can you read THAT on the Internet? Which puts me in mind of the classic tale, The Randy Vicar and the Cantaloupe Balls.

I have to say I have so far been rather pleasantly surprised by the 8th season of W&G. Lots of really funny moments, for me, anyway. The live episodes are a hoot in that old Carol Burnett sort of way, when the actors simply can't stay in character.

I too am kempt. In other words, there isn't a lot of hair on my head. I don't have a whole lot of choices for styles.
The Nudie Musical in Polish? Polish Dildoes? The title of my next book, perhaps.
My Computer Guy fixed my computer yesterday (yet again), but he is so sweet and gives me a break on his bill. Yesterday, he had to go to Best Buy and get a new drive so I could place my music on the computer. While he was out he got a Jamba Juice and even got one for me (and I noticed he didn't charge me for it, either).
So, all is right with the world: there is food in my freezer, no hair on my head (well, that might not be my choice, but since I don't have a choice in that, I shall not spend time worrying!) and music playing on my computer.
Beautiful clouds and sunset a bit ago!

Good morning, everyone.
i can only stay a couple minutes, but I wanted to pass on a movie recommendation. I watched BLACK BOOK last night and thought it was wonderful. I hadn't heard about it during its theatrical release and I don't recall it being mentioned here (not that means much). It takes place at the end of WWII and is just sooo well done, IMO.
Gotta scoot.
TTFN.
We (I'm on the board that brings films in to the Orpheum) showed it in the summer of 2007. I thought it was wonderful. Don't know if I talked about it here.

CNN is watching the tarmac where Sara Palin will be landing. The tarmac hasn't done anything in all the time they have had the camera on it. They've been watching it for at least 20 minutes. People have walked on the tarmac, but it hasn't done anything. They still keep saying "We are watching the tarmac" Is that what things have come to....watching cement and asphalt?

No, it ended two years ago.
-
There were about 3 1/2 hours of bonus material I watched tonight connected to IRON MAN. Most was pretty interesting, but I think I've learned everything I'd EVER need to know about the comic character AND the making of this film.
-
When I finished the bonus disc, I did put the film disc back in the player and watched a couple of the really cool sequences again.
-
Then I watched tonight's BONES episode. Not one of their greatest cases, and I spotted the killer very early and guessed right.
BTW, the killer in tonight's episode was also in IRON MAN that I watched this afternoon. He had a fairly small part of a radio dispatcher in the film, but it was the same actor.
-

You just have to stick it in your brain and hum it.

I also see now why Sweets is at the Jeffersonian so much: he's a psychological profiler helping them with cases. Still don't know why he'd have to be there rather than being in his own office, but I guess they don't want to keep jumping back and forth from place to place if he's assisting on a case.

Bruce, did you produce the "Babes In Arms" revival CD done with Judy Kaye, Jason and JQ and the Bandits?
-
Then, I watched the first half of tonight's PROJECT RUNWAY. Fairly interesting challenge, and the teams were a big surprise. I'll be interested to see how their plans work out. I stopped at the segment where Tim comes in to look at what they've done so far and critique it. I'll pick up there tomorrow.

And here was one of the true highlights of my time in Charlotte...
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e49/JoseSPiano/MertsCornbread.jpg)
The Cornbread from Mert's Heart & Soul (http://www.mertsuptown.com/).
I've been eating at Mert's ever since the Fall SETC auditions were moved to Charlotte a couple of years ago. -It's just a block from the theatre, and the service is usually very fast. The cornbread has never really impressed me. Usually, it's "just OK", and there were a few times when I could tell it had been sitting in the warming oven a bit too long. However, this time it was just sooooo good. A thin, crisp crust, with just the right amount of crunch, and the "bread" was light, airy and practically exhaling corn essence. It was the first time I finished the mini-loaf that they serve with each meal.
*And it would be even better if they served it with real butter instead of margarine. But even the whipped margarine didn't damper my enjoyment. ;)

Well, I guess since the networks broke into the regular daytime programming to show both Michelle Obama and Sarah Palin walking through their respective convention venues - when they were saying nothing(!) - they just have to follow through now. :-\

And for DR MBarnum...
I had tried to take more pictures at the Festival of India, however, most of the "cultural exhibits" happened to be sitting in the theatre watching the dancing demonstrations while I was there, so they weren't circulation through the crowd. However, this very nice group of people did pose for me.

And here are the shoes that the gentleman was wearing:

I loved the costumes and hair "decor" that the young women were wearing. Some of the young women had real dried flowers woven and sewn into their hair. Truly intricate and beautiful.

Shayne asked if I prefer the original cut of Darling Lili to the shortened director's cut (omitting about twenty-five minutes).
I think I prefer the original cut, but the film is sort of hopeless in either version. It's gorgeous to look at, the actors are all good, but the story is so odd, and the film just veers wildly, mood-wise, and I can never get with it - I like parts of it a lot, though, and Blake's direction, style-wise, is superb.

If you want to see the difference between what an IB Technicolor print of How The West Was Won looks like vis a vis the new Ultimate Edition standard DVD, go here:
http://cineramahistory.com/htwwwdvd.htm
The top image is from an IB print. Then scroll down to the image from the DVD - doesn't exactly replicate the look, does it?
And in the Cinerama Adventure documentary, the clips from Search For Paradise are the closest I've ever seen to replicating the look of IB Tech on video. Unfortunately, whoever is doing these transfers for Warners does not understand this at all. Oh, well.
