And The Song Of The Day Is; SOMEONE IN A TREE

This is probably my absolute all-time favorite musical theater song...and favorite Sondheim song, of course. :)

Initials Game in two hours.  I'll just say that this week's initials are really good, and I, personally, have already come up with seventy-three names, and I don't believe I've scratched the surface.

Yay.  I hope everyone gets over any ambivalence and goes to see it.  It's a work of art, and entertaining as all get out, and I think we know how entertaining all get out is.


I have no ambilvalence and am looking very forward to seeing it...perhaps next weekend.

Although, I may have already stated this.

Does anyone else remember the ALL IN THE FAMILY epsiode where Archie and Mike argued back and forth on whether to put on both socks first, or one sock, one shoe and then the other sock and the other shoe.

He realized recently that I alway put on my left sock, left shoe; and then my right sock and right shoe.  I wonder what that means about me?

Anyone else feel like weighing in? Pantyhose doesn't count.

I remember that. :) I put on my right sock, left sock, left shoe, right shoe.  

And I put on my pantyhose the right foot then left foot. ;)

I am alive.

I have watched four (count 'em 4) movies in the Carmen Miranda DVD box today.  The movies were "Greenwich Village,""Doll Face", "Something for the Boys" and "If I'm Lucky."  These four also feature Vivian Blaine.  Perry Como is in two of them  as is Phil Silvers.

They are simply wonderful films.  I'd never seen any of them and they're delightful, well-paced and two of them are  in glorious Technicolor.  They are clean but the color is alternately okay and then spectacular.  The other two (Doll Face & If I'm Lucky) are in dazzling B&W.

The thought occurred to me while watching these films that they are a lot more enjoyable -- in many ways -- than the Betty Grable and Alice Faye musicals, and I think I know why.  In these films, no one was  a "huge" star.  Yes, Miranda was big, but she never carried an entire film.  Yes, she starred in a few and she was spectacularly featured, especially in Technicolor, but she was a comic relief and entertainment as part of the overall plot.   What I  am getting at here is that the Grable and Faye  films "featured" those big "stars" in  numbers that all-too-often went on and on but numbers that I don't think merited all the fuss.  They gave those big  stars "moments" throughout their films that, in hindsight, seem to slow the pictures down a bit.

The films in this Miranda set are under 90 minutes, pack  a whole lot of story and song and dance into those minutes, and all still seem shorter than their running times.  Vivian Blaine was terrific as a leading lady.  And I think Perry Como was terrific,  too.  His songs are all winning and memorable.  Supporting casting was superb in these films, and the production values are top-notch.

Why don't you tell us the initials now so we can get a head start, too.

I am somewhat ambivalent about the Bollywood movie that I am watching right now. It has no subtitles, but it doesn't matter because it is a movie about prehistoric cave people...a Hindi ONE MILLION YEARS B.C.

The movie is PURANA PURUSH (1978).

And yes, it does have musical numbers... and dinosaurs.

I know I usually come to films very late, but that still doesn't explain why folks like elmore wasn't there opening day with Charlotte or by himself.  Or any other first-dayers.  It's just odd to me - Sex and the City - EVERYONE was there in the first week.  Wall-E a  major film, brilliantly-reviewed from a beloved studio - zip.  Especially as many here were at Ratatouille opening week, no?

I haven't actually gone to a movie on the opening weekend in years!  I absolutely plan to see Wall-E very soon, though.  I am really looking forward to this. :D But to quote a song from I Love You Because..."Just not now."

Oh, I did a little research and the London 1776 was never released on CD - not even announced.  On The Town was announced but never came out.

I wonder what (other than money) it would take to release this on CD. :)
