Vanity production or not, the film version of Lucky Stiff stinks. The director of the film and I did not get along at Goodspeed in 1998 on a production of Redhead, and I decided that he simply was inept with musicals. I ran into him a couple of years later when I saw a comedy he had directed quite nicely. He was much friendlier to me than I was to him, and I decided that we were simply a case of oil and water. Then I saw Come From Away, which he directed, and it was brilliantly staged. I also liked his direction of the movie Jeffrey.

So I kept watching Lucky Stiff, with all these annoying animation sequences during the songs, and I kept thinking, it's Redhead Redux!

I have been sitting here listening in abject astonishment to my DH telling me about "Ghost Tours," a hometown tradition in his small southern Minnesota city of birth.

A group of people are guided around a cemetery, and at various stops a costumed person "pops" out from behind a gravestone, and delivers a monologue as that person about their life.

I'm not sure whether to grab the popcorn or a straighjacket.

Around noon I’m going to a friend’s Memorial Day gathering wearing double layers from head to foot. Normally I love this gathering but I have no enthusiasm for it today. It’s just important to me because of what it will mean for my friend to have a few people show up and not cancel due to the weather. I’ll have a perfectly good time once there, and I have the show tonight to look forward to.

AND - for the first time in my life - the Indianapolis 500 is not blacked-out in my area.  I can watch it live.

It was first broadcast in 1949 on local station WFBM, Channel 6, the future home of Miss Frances Farmer.  But after that we were unable to get ANY of the feeds.....

Today, however, the ban has been lifted.  They say 135,000 masked people will be at the Speedway....half full....

Elmore, I saw Lucky Stiff many many years ago at a tiny local theater that did very good productions. I didn't expect much, but my gosh! It was so funny! We bought tickets to see it a second time

I saw it again in a different theater a couple years later. It was pretty bad. I rarely even smiled during it.

That happened once with Forever Plaid. Even a mediocre production of Plaid is fun, since so many things go "wrong" during the show. Usually I chuckle through the show at all the little things. But I saw one production where they missed every single thing.

I wish The Mauritanian had been better than it was. The script was far too superficial and the characterizations were not up to snuff. But the performances were much better. It was nice to see Jodie Foster in a good role. And while I hated Benedict Cumberbatch's accent, his performance was solid.

It could be interesting.  Sometimes Keith looks up interesting names we see when walking a cemetery.  Sadly he doesn't have much genealogy research to do anymore.

I would like to take it to my program committee, but I don't want to do the version set in England (we're talking community theatre actresses here - some of whom ....well) and I don't want the musical where everyone gets to sing a song about her life and struggles....

Last night I watched Dirty Harry. GREAT fun.

This movie captures the San Francisco I first saw in the summer of 1971, which is a nice bonus.

Didn't listen to the commentary, but I watched all of the other extras - much to my surprise, since there's quite a bit there. Learned a few things, and enjoyed getting to know a bit more from Mr. Eastwood.

I'll be away from it tonight for certain obvious reasons, so I plan to return to Magnum Force either tomorrow or Tuesday night. I think I'll do these every other night, starting early enough to take in whatever else is on each disc.

I suppose I should tell my Walter Willison story. One day, many moons ago -- around 1964 or 1965 -- Bluth Brothers Theatre was auditioning for their upcoming production of The Wizard of Oz. Ethelinn (Lolo in the Kritzerland books, IIRC) and I were at the theatre one afternoon. I think she'd just auditioned for the part of Dorothy. A young man walked in, a tall, skinny, gawky adolescent who none of us knew. He began to sing Over The Rainbow and we were all simply blown away. Out of this skinniness came this magnificent sound. I don't think I'll ever forget that audition. Walter and Bruce did the show together, and Ethelinn underscored for Dorothy.

Ghost tours! I used to love them! When I lived in Old Town Alexandria, VA I'd go often. So much history in Alexandria! I don't recall anyone popping out from behind a gravestone. Ours mostly passed by various historic homes which were said to have a ghost (or two) associated with them. How I miss them!

The YouTube glitchy stuff was really irritating. It's been doing that a lot recently, whatever I'm watching.

That was a great show, from start to finish. I'm a little sad. I will have to experience them in the future through the notes. I sadly can't afford to fly to LA monthly to catch any more.

Listening to music. Had a Cobb salad earlier in the day, the some pistachios and an Atkins candy for snack.

Well, just to post something, the switching of the phone and painting and mirror at my sister's house went quite easily.

I was in and out quite literally in less than five minutes.

The reason she wanted/needed me to (help?) move them is that both the mirror and the phone are quite heavy.

Fortunately, my sister was able to guide the hanging wires onto their respective hooks so that I didn't have to try to feel around blindly for them.

DR TCB if your upstairs neighbors can hear you coughing then I have no idea why they would want to pull the carpet out.


I have no idea if any of my neighbors can hear me coughing.  But it bothers me, so I hope it can’t be heard.

U.S. men fail to qualify for Tokyo Olympics in 3-on-3 basketball; U.S. women clinch spot (https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/more-sports/us-men-fail-to-qualify-for-tokyo-olympics-in-3-on-3-basketball-us-women-clinch-spot/ar-AAKxk6L?ocid=uxbndlbing).
