Okay, here's a (potentially embarrasing) question: what does AIP mean?
Bruce, since it's "ask BK day" and since I missed the initial rehearsal of "Jersey Men," when are you going to stage the show in L.A. again? Mark had wonderful things to say about it and wished I could have seen it.Amy
American International Pictures, Sam Arkoff and James Nicholson's distribution company, which released the film in the US.
I shall try to be gracious and not let my newfound millions change me too much.
About halfway through the meal, a couple was seated at the booth right next to us (and butted up right against our booth). The guy was a real character and was staring at the kishka on our table. I told him what it was and that it was the best kishka ever, and we all struck up a conversation. He told us he was from Brooklyn and that he was a crook. Very funny. His gal pal didn't seem anything like him - reserved and didn't open her mouth, but he said they'd been together twenty years. We talked about Brooklyn, we talked delis, then he ordered a lot of the stuff we did. At the end of the meal, we said goodbye to him and told him how much we enjoyed the banter. Barry's friend and I went up to pay our portion of the bill, and when Barry joined us he told us he'd found out the guy's name. And, the guy telling us he was a "crook" turned out to be not so far-fetched. Let's just say that this guy's family was one of the biggest crime families ever, and clearly one of the models for the Sopranos, which he talked about lovingly, BTW (by the way, in Internet lingo). I wish I'd gotten his card - there are a few people I'd like him to have a conversation with
DVD for tonight is one I know nothing about it - a mini-series co-production between BBC and HBO called Five Days. It sounds like the Dutch film The Vanishing, but I like this type of story so I'll give it a shot. Anyone seen it or heard of it?
I just keep wondering what Madonna could possibly see in Alex Rodriguez.
Ginny, which row are you sitting in?Note re the elevator, only because of your foot: It's a lovely lovely theater space, but theater B is on the third floor (two floors up from street level). Until the house opens, they will only let you up to the bar area one flight up, but if you wait until the house opens (usually 8:05-8:10 for the 8:15 show), then the elevator will take you all the way up to the theatre B level two flights up on the third floor If you're on the aisle (the most center seats 2,4,6 or 1,3,5) you may want to wait until the rest of your row is seated before sitting, to avoid having to let people pass you and avoid the very minimal risk of people stepping on your foot.
Morning all. It's 8:06am (according to my computer). I have work today and thenLUNCH TOMORROW WITH GINNY AND RICHARD. YAY!!!!!Chat and Chew here we come.Until then I'm busy with the Community Foundation of Greater Atlanta.
There shouldn't be that many now - the Image DVD is, I think, OOP. If you want the best copy, it's the one in the Bava box set - I don't remember if they ever put out that version as a stand alone title - I'll go check. Unfortunately, the only version that's on any of the discs is the original Eyetalian with the non-AIP American dub (done for the British release). It's got the original Roberto Nicolosi score, which is very good. However, the shame is that the AIP version, which has the Les Baxter score and a different English dub has never been available on DVD (it was on laserdisc).
and I keep wondering what anyone sees in that skank Madonna . . .
