Well, you've read the notes, the notes have always depended on the kindness of strangers, and now it is time for you to post until the kind cows come home.

What's interesting (to me, at least) is that Micaela Diamond, Ben Platt's costar in the new Broadway production of Parade (that I also received yesterday), is in the ensemble of JCSS, as is Ben's brother, Jonah Platt.  What a small world.

Micaela also was the understudy for Mary Magdalene in JCSS.

This is early for me on a Sunday, but I didn't want to take the chance of falling back into an annoying dream.

There was this excerpt of a musical piece that I was looking at, which wasn't identified. It was supposedly an excerpt from Bach or Beethoven - except when hearing it performed, it was obviously something in musical theatre. I couldn't pin down exactly what it was or if they (whoever "they" are) were performing it right. But this doesn't even describe it well. It can't really be described at all. It was just supremely annoying.

I slept criminally well last night.  In fact, i have been out of bed only 10 minutes (so you see how I am starting my day).  I haven't even made coffee yet.

I dreamed so many dreams, only wisps of which remain in my mind:

In one, I am pushing a cart up a red-carpeted street, knowing that when I reach the top I can ride the cart instead. 

In another, I am in the passenger seat of a car, the driver of which remarks that he dreams of a world in which children will have a Free to be A Kid Day.

I attribute that last one to something I saw on the news.  The first one seems to be related, indirectly, to my viewing of "What's Up, Doc" a couple of nights ago.
Title: Re: THE KINDNESS OF STRANGERS
Post by: Ron Pulliam on May 28, 2023, 06:39:40 AM
Speaking of "What's Up, Doc", it has its really fun, funny moments. 

Madeline Kahn should have been nominated for, and won, an Oscar.

The supporting players are wonderful, including Randy Quaid who made the most of his miniscule part.  Mabel Albertson is terrific!!  Kenneth Mars and Austin Pendleton are perfect in their roles, as well.

And then there is Liam Dunn as the judge who practically steals the film.

Ryan O'Neal is simply a mixed bag.  He seems to fit right in, but his deadpan isn't funny.  He could have used some coaching from Cary Grant whose professor in "Bringing Up Baby" was the obvious parallel/inspiration for Howard Bannister.

Still, with Barbra anyone looks good!

I am not certain, but I believe I have a Zoom chat this afternoon.  It's a good day for it because it's rather gray and glum outside.  53 degrees currently.

I have to decide if I want an early lunch or a brunch.  Either way, I have to prepare something.

DR Ron- What a crushing way to learn the news about Jim Whaley.  I can’t remember how I heard, probably my mom told me. He was such a fixture for me in my teen years in Atlanta. I always remembered that Steve Martin moment because Steve articulated something that had been in my own head.
When I made the mistake of going off to Ole Miss for a year of college, Jim was even on the PBS local from Memphis, and that was a bit of balm for my homesickness. So nice to learn what a great friend he was.
Title: Re: THE KINDNESS OF STRANGERS
Post by: Ron Pulliam on May 28, 2023, 06:50:57 AM
Are there any "Murder, She Wrote" fans here?

The Great American Family Channel (GFAM) has lots of episodes airing daily, but on Saturday's there is an all-day marathon.

I watch them for the episodes set in the south.  They are hysterically funny for one reason: The most gosh-awful southern accents that have ever been recorded for posterity.

Some of the female stars in the episodes use accents so dipped in honey-fried magnolia buds that you can just imagine them in the throes of hissy fits.

Angela Lansbury, bless her heart, gave many actors opportunities to work when work wasn't to be had elsewhere.  But nary a penny was ever spent on dialogue coaching (at least, I hope they didn't pay to get those over-zealous sounds).

Oh, well.

It's always gratifying to learn that others watched his show.  My PBS affiliate in Indianapolis showed it weekly, as well.  Jim was very proud that his show was syndicated.

Our phone calls are what I miss the most.

Was watching What’s Up Doc clips the other night after listening to an Austin Pendleton interview on a podcast. Def was my favorite movie as a kid. The whole chase scene made me cry with laughter. I think O’Neal does a good job. Maybe his best. Barbra is luminous. Everyone is hilarious with the wordplay I appreciate in my dotage way more than the chase scene.

Yesterday had to take daughter to a horror-themed birthday party for a kid over in Canada. Weird idea, but it ended up cute, the birthday girl just loves Halloween. They had the place decorated all spooky. And a big inflatable water slide/bouncy thing in the backyard. I find if there are more than 10 kids, the birthday kid is overwhelmed and isn’t very nice, but there were only about 7 kids, and she was very sweet to my shy daughter.

Proud dad moment: daughter Rodz won musical chairs. That’s no small feat!

Happy Sunday to everyone!  There's a new Broadway Radio Show up on the site for your enjoyment.  At This Theatre: The Vivian Beaumont as we look at the history of this beautiful Lincoln Center venue and hear from the many musicals that have played there.  I was traveling out of the country the past 2 Sundays so didn't get a chance to post here, but I was able to remotely launch 2 radio shows from the Cayman Islands (which is where I was vacationing!).  So, please do check them out...they are on the radio show page under Archives: Show Tune Chanteuse (great modern female jazz vocalists covering show tunes) and Broadway Goes Pop, Part 2 (musical theatre performers from Broadway and the West End sing some fun pop songs)....ENJOY all 3 episodes!!!

Yes DR VIXMOM - the 60th anniversary of the JFK infamy....I don't know why I said 70th....

DR JANE we moved from a smaller school (the entire 7th grade class was in one classroom) to a larger one in October of 1962....there were probably 180 students or more in the class and we were divided into sections.  I was in 7-2 and my brother was put in 7-7.

We had classes in three buildings and there was a LOT of walking to get there in three minutes.

They only had one Math book in the bookstore, so we had to share.  My brother had Math in the main building during first period.  I had Math during second period in the Academy Building.  So I had to run over to the main building and get the book and get back to the AB because I had been in music class for the first period there.

WHEW!  I would meet my brother at the bottom of the steps as he went to history class.  More than once he forgot and I had to go to the history class to get the book and run even faster....to get to Math.

Insane news about Keith’s skin doc sitting on that info. Wtf is going on in the medical world these days. Covid and short-staffing being used as excuses for all manner of bad behaviors. Vibes to Keith, sounds like the path forward is the best one.

Thanks.  In all our years of going to dermatologist and getting biopsies, this has never happened.

Yes DR VIXMOM - the 60th anniversary of the JFK infamy....I don't know why I said 70th....

DR JANE we moved from a smaller school (the entire 7th grade class was in one classroom) to a larger one in October of 1962....there were probably 180 students or more in the class and we were divided into sections.  I was in 7-2 and my brother was put in 7-7.

We had classes in three buildings and there was a LOT of walking to get there in three minutes.

You and your brother were in the same grade?

I remember the hustle to get to gym classes on time.  There is a tunnel that goes under a main street at my Jr. High, now a middle school.  No dawdling permitted if you had to go from or to the farthest classrooms.

They only had one Math book in the bookstore, so we had to share.  My brother had Math in the main building during first period.  I had Math during second period in the Academy Building.  So I had to run over to the main building and get the book and get back to the AB because I had been in music class for the first period there.

WHEW!  I would meet my brother at the bottom of the steps as he went to history class.  More than once he forgot and I had to go to the history class to get the book and run even faster....to get to Math.

 :o

I seem to recall books being handed out to us in class, not purchased at the book store.

We had junior high. 7th and 8th grade separate from anyone else. I thought it was a good idea to keep that Petri dish of 12-14 year olds in various odd stages of development apart from the rest of the academic world. I think the concept has been done away with though.

DR JANE my brother started out a year ahead of me - but he had to do the second grade over - so starting in the second grade we were in the same class.

When we lived in the country, we had some rhubarb plants....and our mom would send us out to get some stalks and make a delicious pie.

And then one hot summer day, I watched our dogs walk over and sprinkle the rhubarb with their own special flavoring.

After that we didn't have any more rhubarb pies.

Final evening at the in-laws house. We move them to assisted living tomorrow. Then we’ll do a little prep and cleanup here. Have a company come and sort out all the junk. House will go on sale in a few days. Bittersweet. Wife’s only childhood home. It was nice having the option to come here and visit or stay if our power went out or whatever. But they just couldn’t stay here anymore.

It is a shame what has happened, yet fortunate you moved close by in time to handle this.

Best of wishes and coping vibes to them in their new space.

Great story, JRand. Rhubarb is a favorite food, but it’s high in oxalic acid, so it causes kidney stones. Love-hate.

It was kind of a flop, I think. Compared to the cha-cha and rhumba.

When I was shooting my first CBS pilot, Young Love, they had a bunch of records as set dressing in the apartment of Michael Burns and Meredith Baxter. One day, Michael and I were looking through them and we found the Pachanga album and we laughed so hard and it became a long running gag with us for years.
