DR ELMORE - "The Dark at the Top of the Stairs" is my second favorite William Inge play....very very close to "Picnic."

The movie with Robert Preston and Dorothy McGuire and Eve Arden is terrific. There are a couple of subplots that are heart-breaking. There are just some REAL people up there.

DARK AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS is my favorite Inge play; and the movie is wonderful. In addition to those mentioned by Jrand56, Angela Lansbury, Shirley Knight, Robert Eyer, and the incredible Lee Kinsolving give superb performances. I also liked the additional scenes / subplots written into the film.

Watched some episodes of Hawaiian Eye and Surfside Six last night, courtesy DR MBARNUM.

John Gabriel sings! All nice episodes. SURFSIDE SIX suffers especially from rear projection sequences featuring the cast. And the Leslie Parrish episode would have been MUCH more enjoyable without John Beradino in his swim trunks.

Well, it being the early 60s and all, I don't think national television audiences were ready for John Beradino without his swim trunks.

Meal one of the "Extreme Body Make-Over" project consisted of two 2oz. turkey sausage patties (no fat, no salt) and 1 medium potato. First reaction, bland bland - a little "I Can't Believe It's not Butter" spray butter (no fat, no calories a little sodium) and some pepper, it was eatable. Thank God for the coffee. (black of course) Mid-morning snack, more protein and fruit. How does protein and fruit go together. Lots of imagination required.

Oh!

Lordy...I had never considered THAT alternative, you are of course, correct.

Hmmm.....another vote for POINT OF ORDER.

ALL THE KINGS MEN (original)

A FACE IN THE CROWD

and has the political subtext in ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN ever been explored fully?

And CLEOPATRA was full of political shenanigans.

Thanks for the vibes for Boo. We have been to the vet. She has lost weight, down to 7.6 pounds from 8.2 pounds. The vet said if we really want to get a definitive diagnosis we can do an endoscopy and see what's happening. OR, I can change her food and see if that helps. Hopefully it's a food sensitivity thing.

The vet recommended Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance. Since they don't sell it, I decided to try it. Boo has eaten a little and so far so good. Callie had to try it and she loved it too. So, we may be having Natural Balance in our house now. It's been about a half hour since Boo ate, so I think we're ok for now. I'm going to go back to work and see how things are tonight.

Cillaliz, I would, of course, do what your vet suggests; but I will never be able to thank Science Diet enough for their "Sensitive Stomach" Adult Cat Food. It has given me back my beautiful girl, Angel, when I thought I would loose her over a year ago. She now throws up only hairballs, and she has packed on a lot of healthy weight. It might be worh keeping in mind.

I think I actually used that for awhile and switched to Indoor Cat thinking I was doing them a favor nutrition wise. They both dove right in to the new food I got today. I gave Boo some right away - not too much and not too quickly. She ate it and a half hour later when I hadn't heard or seen her getting sick, I gave her a little more. The price is close to the same, so I'll see how this goes and will keep Sensitive Stomach in mind

I knew someday it would happen...and today was the day....I accidently used my hair product on my face thinking it was moisturizing cream.

It took me a little over a half hour to figure out why my face felt so strange and stiff.

Ahh, can I borrow that product?

Thanks so much for the background information, DR elmore3003 - fascinating!

That must have been most exciting when you unearthed the lost comedy number at the LoC.

I did a little research on the Packard Humanities Institute. Very interesting...

In the BIOGRAPHY of Mitzi (and maybe on the DVD) are some clips of her screen test for SOUTH PACIFIC - and she is much better and much more natural than in the movie itself.....I think it was Logan's fault. Mitzi also has said that she couldn't say a line that was different from the line readings he gave her - so I guess what we're really seeing is Joshua Logan as Nellie Forbush.

She was doing a concert in Sarasota over this past weekend, so... But when she comes back to rehearsal tomorrow, I shall pass on your greetings.

-Would you like an autograph too? Or would she like yours?

Interesting discussion on the extent of editing and manipulation by the producers of the reality shows to create drama. I wonder what the limits of their storytelling really are.

I mean, at some point, do the producers paint themselves into corners by editing to tell "stories" that aren't supported by the audience vote tallies? And then: do they edit and manipulate the vote tallies in the interest of the drama? Are they really accountable to anyone?
