DR Matt H, yes, I believe the Federal Holiday for Fourth of July is Monday (at least in NY). No mail, the trains run on weekend/holiday schedule, etc.

Isn't it BELLS ARE RINGING where the girl gets remained Millisande?

I keep hearing (in my mind) Jerry Orbach call out "Milisande" to Rita Gardner on The Fantasticks recording during "Round and Round". I'm not sure...

Didn't see it when originally typing, but I meant to say "renamed" rather than "remained." Ugh! My typing gets worse and worse.

I just bought a used boxed set of THE RETURN OF SHERLOCK HOLMES (5 DVDs in the box), and I got it for a ridiculously cheap price because the box itself is damaged (though the DVDs are in perfect condition). I do store DVD sets that come in boxes in their box, but I was wondering if any of you for storage sake toss the boxes and just store the DVDs separately?

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #35 on:** July 02, 2004, 08:29:26 AM »

No, never.

Never, never, never do I toss the boxes.

At all.

Thanks for asking.

Let me add another voice of approval for 110 in the Shade, with a personal preference for the 2-CD JAY recording (IMHO, one of the best recordings ever made of a score that I've heard)

In the CD players:
Home: Leslie Anderson (local cabaret/piano bar personality)'s "Live: Under the Napkin Recordings"
Work: "Rush: Different Stages Live" (in preparation for seeing their show in August)

DVD: "Lilo & Stich" (LOVE the extra hula dancing segment. What a beautiful dance form!)

Just heard that Marlon Brando died.

DR George, is the entire Two's Company series on DVD? We're watching it on Channel 21 here in New York and it would be nice not to be tied to remembering to tape it every Thursday.

What I have from the library is the Complete Series One. I haven't seen a Season Two yet. HERE'S the amazon.com listing.

Alone Together sounds great. I may have to order it. I love MT, Janis Siegel and Lauren Massé!

This album (and now CD!) has my absolute FAVORITE recording of "Paper Moon." It's very up tempo and Laurel sings this three-chorus vocalese (additional lyrics by Eddie Jefferson, I think) about shooting rockets and flying around space and it's just incredible. You can understand every word that she sings! And her range! All over the place. I can't recommend it highly enough, IMHO ("in my humble opinion," in Internet lingo).

Of course Rodgers' music gave it life.....but my favorite will always be:

Once I laughed when I heard you say
That I'd be playing solataire
Uneasy in my easy chair.
It never entered my mind.

Once you told me I was mistaken.
That I'd awaken with the sun
And order orange juice for one.
It never entered my mind.

You have what I lack myself.
Now I even have to scratch my back myself.

Once you warned me
That if you scorned me
I'd sing the maiden's prayer again
And wish that you were there again
To get into my hair again.

It never entered my mind.

Lorenz Hart

Last night I went to another Canada Day show with fireworks. All the suburbs have their own parties.

Last night was a mock Beatles group. And luckily it didn't rain. The fireworks were nice. Only 12 minutes. But still fun.

I see that The New York Times and The Los Angeles Times have run fairly nasty pans of De-Lovely. Inasmuch the film has opened rather narrow (selected cities, and only two theatres here in Los Angeles), I suspect this ~~bomb~~ picture will come and go rather quickly.

It's amusing to note that the NY Times takes the film to task for its "period arrangements" of Porter's songs.

Guess they prefer the synthesized, or new age "wash", route!

Hehehe!

I had read a couple of days ago that Brando was in debt to the tune of $20 million or something. He left a wonderful legacy of films, but reading that ultra-complete biography of him several years ago, he seemed to have lost his way around the time for the 1970s (and according to the biographer, Brando stopped memorizing lines around the time of SAYONARA. Had them written out for him off camera ever since then).

I just noted the post number for my last one and it's the number of the beast!

This will take care of it, though!

Oh my....does anyone want to see what constitutes "art" here in Indiana?

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #48 on:** July 02, 2004, 09:12:09 AM »

I've been to Indiana.

This isn't one of those "pull my finger" routines is it?

Matt H. · « **Reply #49 on:** July 02, 2004, 09:13:33 AM »

I store them in the boxes, too, but in the case of these Jeremy Brett/Holmes films, I don't think the box will be all that necessary. The keepcases will more than likely have their own liner notes, etc. like the first group of DVDs did (which I bought separately and not in a box).

Jrand74 · « **Reply #50 on:** July 02, 2004, 09:15:42 AM »

LOL...no DR RLP....Beast of Babylon! Here it is!

MBarnum · « **Reply #51 on:** July 02, 2004, 09:17:39 AM »

I usually store my DVD sets in the their boxes, but with a few of the budget ones I have tossed the box. I don't know why.

Loved Brando in SAYONARA and THE WILD ONE. I really liked THE MEN when I saw it many years ago.

MBarnum · « **Reply #52 on:** July 02, 2004, 09:18:59 AM »

Indiana is certainly an interesting place, isn't it JRand53! LOL!

Matt H. · « **Reply #53 on:** July 02, 2004, 09:27:09 AM »

The one Brando movie I haven't seen that I'd like to see is VIVA ZAPATA. I've managed to miss it constantly my entire life.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #54 on:** July 02, 2004, 09:37:23 AM »

Good Morning!

Strangely enough, I have, again, nothing to report in regards to my various media players. Since I've been home, I've mainly been catching up on my TV viewing, and also trying to not to spend too much time in my apartment. Right now, it's too easy to cocoon.

But I did get to hear Linda Ronstadt the other night. So...

Sad to hear about Marlon Brando's passing. I really should investigate some of his earlier film work - besides "Streetcar" and "Guys and Dolls". Unfortunately, by the time I was cinematically "aware", the only movie that would have been of any interest to me was "Last Tango In Paris". -Which I still haven't seen... In any case...

Jrand74 · « **Reply #55 on:** July 02, 2004, 09:43:23 AM »

SAYONARA is one of my favorite Brando films. He looks great and he has two dynamite leading ladies in Patricia Owens and Miiko Taka.

Yes Indiana couldn't be MORE interesting.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #56 on:** July 02, 2004, 09:43:48 AM »

And speaking of "art", it seems there's a little controversy brewing in Richmond right now. Here's the link:

I keep everything together. Always. A woman that I work with is in the process of taking all her DVD discs and putting them in sleeves and putting the sleeves into boxes that hold 100 DVDs. She is then putting all the original boxes into storage. That way, she has all the DVDs in a very small area but still is keeping all of the cases...just not in her small apartment.

How do you set up the hyperlink so it's "attached" to a word of phrase rather than posting the link? -Like I did in my last post.
