TOD:
DVDs:
ALL SHOOK UP - handmade, OBC, Oh! that Cheyenne Jackson!  And that arrangement of "Can't Help Falling In Love."  But. . .what an over-written, over-plotted piece of fluff.  Compared to this, Elvis' own TICKLE ME and HARUM SCARUM are film masterpieces!

REEFER MADNESS - Not JMK's, alas, but the Showtime movie with Alan Cumming and Christian Campbell.  I think it's a lot of fun, quite well done, and I've never, ever been a pothead!

SAAWARIYA - gorgeous Sony/Bollywood film based on Dostevsky's short story "White Nights."

MURDER IN PORTLAND - one of those Pacific Nortwest movies.  . .though this one is actually better than the previous ones, still nothing great.  I now can state that the bars in Portland, Seattle and Olympia are very nice.

WHOEVER SAYS THE TRUTH SHALL DIE - competent documentary on the life and death of Pier Paolo Pasolini, which addresses the issue of his murder effectively, though doesn't offer a quick solution.

IN THE DVDs TO BE BURNED PILE:
DAMES AT SEA - CBS-TV presentation: Ann-Margret, Ann Meara, Ann Miller.

ONCE UPON A MATTRESS - CBS-TV presentation, 1964, the one and only original - minus "Happily Ever After" but with a new duet for Dauntless and Winnifred.

SHE LOVES ME - BBC-TV presentation.  Gemma Craven, David Kernan and very few alterations to the score or book.


CDs:
GYPSY (2008) - Barnes & Noble edition.

REEFER MADNESS - TV Soundtrack; Love Robert Torti's "Listen to Jesus, Jimmy."

BIG RIVER - Original Australian Cast.  Ironically, this super-American musical is better off in the hands of the men Down Under.

THE COMPANY OF STRANGERS - Parker Scott.  Perfect debut album.

I love it, but songs were cut and most of the remaining songs had verses cut.     >:(

If we're already at "Gustav," then "Laura" is a pretty safe bet in the not-too-distant future!

Somebody, somewhere, posted the changes which were made; they are relatively few.  If I can't listen to Judy Kuhn's Amalia, it'll suffice to see and hear Gemma Craven's.

I've got too much catching up to do.  And I've got to get dindin on the table (spaghetti and meatballs).

That being the case,

TOD

Heroes, season one (because I never did get the time to watch season two, the DVD for which is on order, and there's a lot that I've forgotten)

Doctor Who and the Silurians, the second story with the third Doctor (Jon Pertwee).

Both of which I've been watching on the new television in the back room, which was paid for with my own money.  (That was der B's sneeky way of getting a late birthday present.   ;))

Well... I was curious what he would end up eating too.  However, I decided not to be too "mothering" tonight, as long as everything seemed sensible - which it did.

I had a Pastrami Reuben.  Ginny had a Corned Beef Reuben, and Richard had "Letter I" - a.k.a. Pastrami, Corned Beef, Swiss, Cole Slaw, and Russian Dressing on Rye.

I shall let DR elmore "reveal" his dinner choice(s) later on.  ;)

All in all, a very good meal all around.

...And after seeing the Trio off at the corner of 82nd and Broadway - they hopped on a bus down to Lincoln Center - I continued walking down Broadway until...


Yes, that's the Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream Truck in the background.  And in the foreground: a scoop of Vanilla obscured by a scoop of Ginger.  :)

DR Ginny & DH Richard are such a cute couple.  It was nice to see them with their long time friend.

Thanks for the photos DR Jose.

bk - The current production of Gypsy and it's resulting OCR is different from the ones that have come before it.  Even Arthur Laurents admits to that.  I know that you - and many other people - love and "trust" Merman's original, but I think you also just have to sit back and listen to the new recording as a whole - and not comment from track to track.  It all works as a whole, not song by song, track by track.

Besides, the whole Track by Track gig was mine (even if I did give it up ages ago).

This took me a moment to understand.  At first, I thought you were posting the initials of some show without telling us the full title.

"Sleeping Around And Worrying About 'Roids In Your..." well, you get the idea.

She is my favorite thing in the whole movie. GYPSY was on very late the other night and I stayed up just to hear her.

I can't think of anything in the movie of GYPSY that I DON'T like.
