I love the latest Broadway production.  Still, it wasn’t as good as the production I directed and also played Mr. Maraczek.

Did you ever find your video? Would still love to see that.

TOD:

Best supporting actress 1953:
Thelma Ritter in PickUp on South Street instead of Donna Reed in From Here to Eternity [although I liked Donna a lot]

1955:

Best Supporting Actor:  Sal Mineo for Rebel Without a Cause instead of Jack Lemmon in Mr. Roberts

Best Actress: Jennifer Jones in Love Is a Many Splendored Thing instead of Anna Magnani in The Rose Tattoo

I'll stop after these examples.....

In 2001, when Ian Mackellan recorded Babes In Toyland at Abby Road with Ian Richardson, I told him when I met him "You were robbed of that Academy Award for Gods and Monsters."  I also got to tell Richardson how wonderful he was in that 1976 revival of My Fair Lady.

The two Ians were a complete hoot.  After one of their takes of the dialogue between Toymaker and Barnaby, one of them said to John McGlinn, who was pushing them to be melodramatically over the top, "Was that take too much?  After another, we'll be reduced to doing pantomime."

I also think the Academy, especially in the 40s, did not want to award women for playing evil roles, so Bergman's long-suffering wife wins out over Stanwyck.

Started watching Troilus and Cressida on YouTube.

I had to stop the first version, because they had turned it into a musical and the Troilus had a really bland falsetto that was barely audible. No.

The second version seemed to be a camped out space version with a really bad drag queen shaky in his stilettos as the narrator. No.

The third version had the entire cast reading the prologue and not together so that it was incomprehensible. No.

On to the fourth, which is not staged. It's a zoom version, but I like the actors at least.

I have made it an hour into this fourth version of Troilus and Cressida. The boxing ring has not made a second appearance, but when Troy starts to fight the Greeks, we may see it return. I do like a Shakespeare cast that finds the double entendre is just every other line.

Antifa is primarily white.  From what I understand it's everything from the Antifa -anarchists to left wing radicals and alt right and white supremacists.  The dumbest thing to me is that everyone believes George Floyd was murdered and the cop needs to pay. I haven't heard anyone say otherwise. And everything I'm hearing is people agree there needs to be systemic change. I haven't heard anyone opposed to peaceful protests.  The rioters are people who  don't care about the actual issue they are just destroying neighborhoods, small businesses that will likely never recover as most insurance doesn't cover riots or acts of war.  They were burning libraries, post offices and police stations.  I won't put in writing what I think should be done

You do have to make a distinction between the protesters, who are mostly out during the day and are peacefully and legitimately protesting and the rioters, who are destroying things for no good reason

The community leaders in Minneapolis asked for all peaceful protesters to stay home tonight so the police could round up the rioters.

Reading comments after news stories is that too many people believe the early protesters are rioting.

It's now becoming fairly well reported that this is all outside agitators - they've already traced all those arrested in St. Paul to white supremacist groups.  They're now using those people's phones to contact trace.

Is a mask all you wore in the pool?

It is much cooler today after our early morning thunder storm.  The crazy people stayed away making our walks lovely again.

That was one freakishly loud thunderstorm around here!  My sister said that the lightning seemed like it was really close to them.

The National Guard needs to be armed because they already know who is responsible for the looting and fires.  They need to round them up, arrest them, and for my money they should just rot in jail for a good long time.
