I forgot to mention that I was invited to be on the SAG Awards nominating committee - for the acting categories in TV. So, that will be fun and I'll get many, many screeners.

From last night:

My mother and grandmother, my four sisters, and I rode to Wyoming from Indiana by station wagon for a vacation one summer.

When my dad was in the army, he was transferred from Germany to Fort Carson, Colorado.  We landed in New Jersey and had to stay there for a few days, so my parents bought a new 1973 Chevy Malibu station wagon, and we drove that from NJ to CO.  I couldn't tell you what states we drove through, though. 
Title: Re: AND THE AWARD GOES TO
Post by: George on July 16, 2025, 12:41:20 AM
Then in 1976, the year before my dad retired, we drove that Chevy Malibu station wagon from Colorado to Washington where it eventually died.

We are heading to a major collision. Stella has been snooping about, and she has discovered Annabelle's mountain aerie in the bookcases. In the past week, Stella has been leaping up into the Alps (the bookcase behind my bed) around 3:00 and sleeping like Goldilocks in Annabelle's private domain. She then returns to us around 5:30-6:00, and Annabelle heads there between 9:00-10:00 and sleeps there until 5:30 in the morning. Last night, on three occasions, I was alerted to the sounds of falling books, and I expect a major cat fight over the mountain retreat at any moment.

Last night I finished the final season (Season 6) of The Nanny. So much of it remains hilarious, but the first half of Season 6 was dreadful before the second half rallied to a nice conclusion. I'm thinking I might want to do the same run through all the seasons of Seinfeld now.

Tonight we start the second week of performances for The Cemetery Club.

I expect attendance to be light....unfortunately.

The box office is open from 5 p.m. - 7 p.m. and we received not one call during those hours yesterday. Of course after 7:30 p.m. when everything was locked up and the box office person was gone.....the phone rang. Some dumbass who can't read was trying to call. My office keys were in the car, so I didn't bother to answer.

When that happens it's never a question about tickets.

And today is the last day off before our final three performances in this rather ungodly heat and humidity. We only hope for no storms between now and Sunday, but the way the forecasts are going, that's a big hope. This air mass is too hot, too humid, and too unsettled to expect nothing at all.

My question for ASK BK DAY?

Are you familiar with the streaming/cable site SCREENPIX? 

It is not very expensive, but you can watch a lot of interesting movies with no commercials - mostly 50's and 60's. And anything on the schedule you can click the PLAY button on your remote and watch it immediately. And you can restart a movie that has already been on for awhile.

Yes I sort of remember you writing about it.

Indeed -  for the first three or four shots in the classroom the boom mike was dangling into the slot....my guess is as your say a ratio probably.

I remember  Len Kinsolving from The Dark At The Top Of The Stairs and a Twilight Zone called Leather Jackets - he was an teen alien from space on a mission who fell in love with earth girl Shelley Fabares.

It's really nice out today. Cloudy, which makes it much cooler. I'm still hoping for rain, but I really doubt it.

Cloudy must be a treat at this time of year.

The morning at work was nerve-wracking. There were definitely some bobbles, but overall it is going fairly well. There are a lot of manager report issues that I'll need to try to figure out. Lots of big changes!

I hope your day is continuing to be overall fairly well.  It seems like the best you could hope for.

From last night:

My mother and grandmother, my four sisters, and I rode to Wyoming from Indiana by station wagon for a vacation one summer.

When my dad was in the army, he was transferred from Germany to Fort Carson, Colorado.  We landed in New Jersey and had to stay there for a few days, so my parents bought a new 1973 Chevy Malibu station wagon, and we drove that from NJ to CO.  I couldn't tell you what states we drove through, though. 

That also sounds like a good trip.

Both parents smoking in the car...no seat belts...good times! ;)

LOL.  Only my mother smoked in the car.  My father didn't smoke it pipes are cigars when driving, not that I remember anyway.

Then in 1976, the year before my dad retired, we drove that Chevy Malibu station wagon from Colorado to Washington where it eventually died.

Another great trip.

This time, we had Spot, the stray cat that we adopted, along for the ride.

Wow, did Spot make it safely home with you?

Laura, I remember it VERY well. ABC Movie of the Week, it aired the night after my 22nd birthday in 1969 just before we moved back to LA from NY. Great cast - Don Murray, Ray Milland, Ed Asner, my Facebook friend Pamelyn Ferdin and lots of other good actors. Now I must watch it this evening.

Walter Grauman was a very good director - Lady in a Cage was his and lots of TV movies. Nick Redman and I met him at the DGA and he was bowled over that we knew him and his work and that I'd issued the soundtrack for Lady in a Cage.

Yup.  He was with us for a few years before he died.  He was a good cat.

Pamelyn Ferdin was in quite a few things. Seems like she was quite a child actress in demand.

As I remember. I was just a kid.

Bruce, I agree with you regarding High Society.  Because of Frank & Bing I'm not a big fan of the movie.  I much prefer The Philadelphia Story.
