I want to see Trumbo, but some of the critiques I read were not kind, but I think I will go now that BK has liked it. I trust him more

ASK BK

What do you think is the best Bio film you ever saw? Criteria: They got most of it right, characters are real (are not composites or did not exist to tell the story), events actually happened to them in chronological order, the subject is not white washed (i.e. being straight when they were gay) etc etc

So glad you had a nice birthday, Bruce.  With your dance card so filled up for the week (including various dinner for your birthday), I would think a nice easy night off would be most enjoyable.

Good morning, all.

A decent sleep was had, with one crazy abstract dream that I couldn't begin to put together, even for myself.

Coffee!

Good morning, all!  I slept better last night than the night before, thank God. No major leg pains, no spectres, all seemed quiet.

I had a couple of strange dreams, one involving goddaughter Charlotte and me in the theatre district. She wasn't more than ten years old, we had been in a furniture store, and she vanished, When I found her she was in a garage with other children and several cats and kittens.

Another dream was backstage in a theatre, It was either on Broadway or at Goodspeed, actors were complaining about the audience, and the head cashier at Barne & Noble whom I loathed when I was working there was on the theatre staff.

DR ChasSmith, the only music I have ever seen for the Anderson Christmas Festival is a piano-conductor score. IK don't believe that I own a copy, but I might, possibly John McGlinn's score.

There is an excellent book of interviews with those involved in the blacklisting called TENDER COMRADES.....if you haven't read that one, MR BK.

I liked a lot of the interviews, some were the same "poor me how I suffered" crap....but how the majority of people kept going is interesting to read.  The description several of them gave of the writer's factory that Phillip Yordan ran out of his basement was very entertaining.

Edward Dymytryk's wife Jean comes off very badly, but I suppose she thinks what she thinks....no matter how misguided and off the mark she still is.

DR Elmore, I'm sorry to read that Rob Berman will not be conducting 1776.  I'd especially looked forward to his guiding hand on that one.

And that Mr. Tunick is the chosen one for Cabin in the Sky, though I remember you saying that was fairly inevitable.

My questions for ASK BK DAY:

Is anyone building a house on the Annette property yet?

I did not know that Rob was not doing 1776!  I haven't spoken to him ssince "Bright Star" moved to the Kennedy Center before Thanksgiving.

I'm up, I'm up, barely.  Six hours of sleep, I think.  Wacky dreams.

ASK BK

What do you think is the best Bio film you ever saw? Criteria: They got most of it right, characters are real (are not composites or did not exist to tell the story), events actually happened to them in chronological order, the subject is not white washed (i.e. being straight when they were gay) etc etc

They all take liberties and I'm not sure why.  They'll tell you they have to make drama - I say why do it if there's not enough drama as there is?This year I enjoyed Straight Outta Compton and Trumbo, but Trumbo had the caveat I've mentioned, while, for me, Compton didn't because I don't know that world at all.
