Title: GETTING MY BEARINGS
Post by: bk on November 24, 2018, 12:03:49 AM
Well, you've read the notes, the notes got their bearings and had a ball so they had their ball bearings, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently getting their bearings from the actual bears.

They had footage from several original Broadway productions that I'd never seen before.  One was Ethel Shutta singing "Broadway Baby" from Follies.  That was great and in color.

Wow.  Not off the top of my head.  There is a Quality Inn, or something similar about half way between downtown and the Seattle Center.  I’ll see if i can track down the name of the place.

I love the musical version of RAGTIME.  Saw it, years ago, at the Shubert in Los Angeles.

I wish they'd make it into a movie.
Title: Re: GETTING MY BEARINGS
Post by: Druxy on November 24, 2018, 04:41:49 AM
T.O.D.

My favorite version of A STAR IS BORN is the original with Janet Gaynor and Fredric March.  Great action; good simple storytelling.

The Garland/Mason remake has great songs, but it's a bit overblown.

I won't even discuss the Streisand version.  I am not a fan of Ms. Streisand.

Maybe I'll catch the Bradley Cooper/Lady Gaga version when it airs on HBO or Showtime.

Dreams have been slightly recall-able but quite amorphous these past two days. All I know is that they were derived from some aspect of last weekend’s musical gig, while having nothing whatsoever to do with music. This is not particularly unusual. Just sayin’.

Last night I slept sandwiched between Annabelle  and Thatch.  We were quite snug and warm.  My bad leg keeps me restless, and I worry about rolling over one of them.  I would hate to injure either of them.

I enjoy the soundtracks to the Garland and Streisand versions better than the movies. I think the Gaynor version is my favorite. I haven't seen the new one.

Last night we watched No Pay, Nudity.  I think I liked it more than BK did, but I wanted to like it more than I did for Lee Wilkof's sake, since he's been a friend for years.  I liked the cast quite a lot, and I was amazed by Nathan Lane's performance.  I spent a good part of the movie wondering what actor was playing Herschel.  I didn't recoognize him at all.  I wish I'd seen him last year as the dastardly Roy Cohn in Angels in America.

TOD:

Judy Garland version.....it is terrific EXCEPT that I don't like James Mason....his voice is great, but his face....WOW....and his mannerisms in ALL of his movies set my teeth on edge....

I like Fredric March in the 1937 version....but Janet Gaynor is a bit of a simp....

Don't like ANYTHING about the Streisand version.....

I LIKED the newest version because I am a Bradley Cooper fan....the music is what it is....it's the music of today so of course it will age faster than the music in the Garland version which is pretty much classic.....but skewing the story toward Cooper didn't bother me....and Gaga was good....

It will probably get some Oscar nods, but not sure if it will get any awards....

Only the murdering scum at the NYC ACC would schedule 9 adoptable dogs to be killed on a holiday weekend when people are out of town.  Nanouk is only a year old! Thanks to the Facebook assholes, I can do little about it but rage.  Goddam them to hell.


HORRIBLE.

Coco has been moved to Monday's euthanasia list, but the status of the other dogs is still in jeopardy.  Poor Obie was a happy dog when he was adopted a month ago and the adopter returned him four days ago for nit being nice to her guests.  Now he is terrified and after three days they put him on the kill list.  Her owner said she loved cuddling with him and he loved his toys and his blanket.  Now he has nothing/  You expect him to be happy?

This must be stopped.  The shelters must be made no-kill for adoptable animals.  I know there are animals that are beyond adoption status for health or behavior, but there's not a single one on this list that should be murdered.

Vixmom, do let us know how you like the air fryer. I don't know anyone who has one and I haven't tasted anything from one, but I read lots of rave reviews. Sounds like a much healthier approach to frying.

Matinee over and I came right home.  The cast did a great job, the pace was great, we had close to forty people, which was much more than I thought we'd have, but like last Saturday evening's audience they sat there like big lumps of dead fish the entire show.  At least last Saturday they came alive towards the end of the show.  And yet, they came up after and said they LOVED it, it cheered them up and made them feel good.  I mean, when I feel good I smile and have fun.  I will never ever understand it.  Rob Stevens was there to review it (we had three reviewers today) so given the audience I think it's a tough call whether he'll like it or not.  His plus one did like it very much (his plus one was also a HUGE Welcome to My World fan - came six times during the run).  But the show itself was probably the tightest and most energetic it's been and my cast member who mangles lyrics got them all correct today.

I stopped at a nearby Ameci's and got three slices of pepperoni pizza.  They're pretty small slices and they kind of taste like cardboard with not much flavor in the tomato sauce, but they're not horrible.  Just makes me appreciate Dino's even more.

I ended up with a free evening, so I ushered for The Nutcracker. They needed folks and even though I'm set to usher it again next weekend, I went in. The symphony sounded great. There were new costumes and new choreography, which was actually quite enjoyable. About 800 showed, which is half a house. But they were really with it.

Back from our evening show.  About the same number of people but these people were laughing from the beginning and really had a great time.  So, that was nice.  There was a reviewer there, but this same reviewer saw LA Now and Then and never ended up writing the review, and I suspect that will be the case here.  There was an issue with the reverb (slight) tonight - it got fixed about twenty minutes in.  The sound was better at both shows, though.  And there was one silly light cue flub that didn't get fixed fast enough.  I mean when you see actors are singing and in the dark it means you forgot to push "go" so push it already, don't wait another thirty seconds.  Everyone was good tonight, and Hartley sang through her cold very well and hopefully she'll feel even better tomorrow.  Tomorrow we have lots more people coming, already up to seventy and I suspect it will go higher, and now I'm hoping we've had our two light performances and that we'll now fill up.
