I am putting together the scene change music for the current show. I decided I would end the show and bows with the wedding march.

So I thought I would use familiar classical themes and build to the ending march.

I got an email from the assistant director - his daughter is the director - and said that they want to use the wedding march at the end [great minds] and for the scene change includes a lot of furniture moving and adds on - it has been decreed that the music from "Benny Hill" will be used.....

The End.

1.4 billion Powerball on Saturday.

DR Jrand75, what is the show?

[elmore3003]

Ann is feeling better, and she and Jen are driving back from Boston.

I watched the twinsauce dance video.

I've danced just like that a couple of times when I got my inheritance caught in my zipper.

Maybe I'll pull my long-dormant time travel screenplay out of its virtual drawer, and add a scene where Jrand-in-1983 and FJL-in-1983 dance exactly like that.  If the actors can't do it, we'll hire the twinsauce guys as body doubles.

Or maybe not.

I've accomplished all I need to do this morning: garbage to basement, kitty cleanup accomplished, Amazon Fresh delivery put away, and GraviLyte mixed and sitting in fridge until this evening; I have two rounds of it - 9:00pm and 3:00am.

I have to make the bed and do some light tidying up.

[bk]

Still up.

Happy Jrand liked Orphan! And I think he'll find the prequel fun, too.

[bk]

I'd still cut the opening scene, but in reality it doesn't kill the movie or anything. No real missteps after that, though. And as I've said before, any movie that uses The Glory of Love is aces in my book. One of my all-time favorite songs. Great tune, great lyrics, and the recording in the movie is from one of the surprisingly great albums Jimmy Durante made towards the end of his life - gorgeous arrangement. Must check and see who did it.

[bk]

Roy Bargy, his longtime musical director - wonder if he orchestrated the arrangement?

[Jrand75]

LOL DR FREDDIE I hope we get paid to be consultants.

[Jrand75]

DR ELMORE I don't need them coming here by doing a search and see my not so gentle comments.

But the film version starred Spencer Tracy and Joan Bennett and was later remade starring Steve Martin.

[Jrand75]

Thanks again for the recommendation MR BK.

[Freddie]

LOL DR FREDDIE I hope we get paid to be consultants.

If something were really to happen with the script or story, you'd probably have to be.

I do forget at times that these posts are totally google-able.

From DR Singdaw:

I don't think we're ever going to get to page 17, so I'm just gonna drop this here. A variant of the one I posted last week.

It's cool. Next time we get to page 17 simply use it again.

From DR George:

Many interviews today. I like being the interviewer much more than being the person interviewed.

Which was a major reason why I actually put in for my retirement so early.

You get getting interviewed or had to do interviews?

[Jane]

Interesting photos from George last night.  I'm sure your hard work was appreciated.

TOD:  I've liked every "Rocky" movie I've seen, and every "Planet of the Apes" movie I'd seen from the series many years ago.

"A Boy Named Charlie Brown" and "Snoopy Come Home" was kind of a franchise, and recent discussion of "A Boy Named Charlie Brown" reminded me of how much I enjoyed those on the big screen in the movie theater.

On TV, does the series of "Gidget" TV movies count as a franchise?  If so, I always watched them back in the day.

We watched all of those.

I'm a sucker for James Bond movies, even the lesser ones. I like all three Back to the Future movies, with of course much emphasis on the original. I love Raiders of the Lost Ark, and I like the next two films okay - but the last time I saw Temple of Doom, the "cute" element and the hysterics of Kate Capshaw et al. irritated the living hell out of me. Star Wars, just the first three films, thankyouverymuch, I'll never go beyond those. Planet of the Apes - the superb original, of course, but I'm also fond of the other four in the original series. No interest at all in the newer ones. This past week I've revisited the first three Beach Party movies, and on this viewing thus far, I was more fond of the first two than the third. Dirty Harry - yes, even the less thrilling ones.

Of course, this is ALL vintage material. Are there any contemporary franchises I like? That's a damn fine question. Something tells me the answer is no, but I could also be forgetting something. I'm equally sure I've forgotten to mention many from the past.

[ChasSmith]

The only Omen movie I ever went to was the original, at the Egyptian. I'm a bit of a dissenter on this one. I admired it greatly, but it didn't scare me like I thought it should (I do love a good horror movie, and a good scare). I just didn't warm to it. I *think* I watched the others in that original series on a set of DVDs, and didn't care for any of the sequels.

Another horror series would be the Phantasm films. I saw the original - I think at the L.A. Filmex for that year - and liked it. I went to the second one a few years later, and I guess you'd say I liked that, too. Now I forget how many there were. At least a third, which now I don't remember but I saw it probably on disc once.

[ChasSmith]

How about some Disney? Toy Story - great admiration and liking for the first three, even though I really have only seen them once. I did buy all three for eventual followup watching. I never thought they should have made any beyond the third, and have no interest in whatever followed.

I went to the original Pirates of the Caribbean movie and somewhat liked it but didn't come close to loving it. Now I catch a little bit of any of them, and they hold zero interest for me.

I have a love-hate relationship with the Mission: Impossible series. I haven't even seen them all. Sometimes I'll watch one and like it way better or worse than previous viewings.

Lord of the Rings, etc.? I initially liked and admired them, and they became 'eh' for me.

The Jurassic Park films? Loved the first, enjoyed the next couple of them, and couldn't care less about ever seeing all the newer ones.

[ChasSmith]

Okay, someone else's turn! 

[bk]

I like the original The Omen - saw it at the Egyptian, too. I was actually glad it didn't scare me - it was creepy and the kid was perfectly cast and boy do I love Lee Remick and also I thought David Warner was great.

[Jrand75]

I will concur on the Planet of the Apes original movies and James Bond.

Star Wars the first three releases and Die Hard.

[ChasSmith]

Agree. Great casting, and creepy is good.

[bk]

I guess I got another three hours of sleep. Could use more. Woke up this time to some potentially wonderful news that I've been trying to make happen for over twenty years. I now have the stuff to make it happen IF and ONLY if everything I need is here. It seems like it is but there IS a question about two items that may have not been there but are archived. I'm just hoping we have everything we need.

[ChasSmith]

Love Die Hard, but I have never seen any of the followups! I've always intended to see at least the second film.
