POSITIVE HEALTH VIBES (from my whole household, the little dog, too) TO JOSE'S FATHER AND DR ANN (As well as any other DR who needs 'em)!

Hating doctors & nurses!  well, I hate 'em too!  And tonight I waited on the nursing staff of the floor of the rehabilitation center where Mum had therapy last year; talk about dumb broads!  The floor nurse (who was nearly fired last year for her patient irresponsibility), was shocked and agog to find out that Mum CAN WALK!  Jeeze!  it was on her watch that Mum had the friggin' therapy that got her back onto her feet!


As for costumers who haven't been named, I really liked Theadora van Runkle's costumes for NEW YORK, NEW YORK. . .

Who else has been viewing the 40th Anniversary Edition of MARY POPPINS?  Comments?
I must say that the docus on Disc Two teared me up - I hadn't known that a certain cast member died in 1977!  Karen Dotrice has grown up to be a quite beautiful, well-spoken young lady as well.

I waited as long as I could, but I finally gave in to the temptation and bought a used copy of FORBIDDEN PLANET. I kept hoping Warners would come out with a Special Edition, remastered edition of this classic, but not seeing one, I thought I could spring for the $8 used price and get it, especially after bk alerted me that dspite it not being mentioned on the packaging og the MGM edition, it was an anamorphic transfer. he was right, of course, and it looks considerably sharper and more colorful than the laserdisc I've been watching for many years. Sound seemed about the same as the laserdisc - a somewhat tinny stereo surround track.

It needs restoration, naturally, as do many popular 50 year old films, but it looks surprisingly good on the DVD, and I'm glad I can retire the laserdisc at long last.

I saw the new MARY POPPINS at Target when I picked up THE RETURN OF THE KING today, but I resisted the temptation. I have bought that movie SO many times. Yep, I know the new version is anamorphic, and I will eventually get it, but I think I can make do with the letterboxed DVD that I have for the present time. last time I watched it, it looked super to me. DVD Savant's review for it says the color hues have been corrected in this release, but for the life of me I hadn't noticed anythign wrong with the color in the version that I had.

Good Evening!

Good show tonight.  And Press Opening tomorrow!  The show is in good shape.  Now it'll be up to the critics and word-of-mouth...

-And I believe two of our very own HHW critics will be seeing the show tomorrow night... ;)

I really don't have any opinion of the show myself.  Well, I do, but it's truly from the standpoint of a pit musician, which is what I am for this show.  Yes, we did do a week of techs and some rehearsals here in DC, but most of the work-work was done up at George Street about three months ago.  We shall see...

The ONLY version of MARY which pleased me - until now - was the Archive Edition on laserdisc. . .none of the others looked "right" to me.

Welcome Alex.

Just had a lovely Jacuzzi, and am now relaxed and ready to finish Collateral.  I have the new Mary Poppins - the image is considerably better than all previous incarnations.  There is quite some controversy about the new Disney enhanced mix, with many people favoring the 2.0 original stereo mix.  That track, however, doesn't sound all that good to me.  The new track sounds like there's something wrong with it - like a button didn't get pushed or something.

Hisaki, you bet I liked the food, except for Sushi.  I still have the egg roll recipe.  Speaking of Sushi.  My younger son lives in Romania as part of our Peace Corps program.  He teaches English to high school students.  One night he had several of the students over for Vegetarian Sushi.  He discovered they don’t like Soy Sauce.  He didn’t tell them he put it in the vegetables and they enjoyed those.  When we send care packages we include the wraps for making the Sushi.




DRJANE: I know nobody likes Sushi, except California Roll, in the US. They don't eat raw fish, do they?  Soy Sause has a little strong smell so it's to much for them, I think. Glad Japanese food is familiar to you and your family.

Wonderful pictures DRLaura!

I got back from Forever Plaid and I will freely admit that it was quite wonderful.  All four performers were strong singers.  The music director (who played one of the characters, also) didn't disappoint in regards to the "blending" issue that I mentioned earlier.  They all sang out, Louise (a Gypsy reference) but since all four sang out, it wasn't too bad, after all.  They did sing quietly, when appropriate.  Overall, quite the enjoyable production.
