  1. Hi, Patrycja! Say, speaking of Patrick Stewart, about a decade ago, on New Year's Eve, I had the pleasure of seeing him in a one-man show on Broadway--A Christmas Carol! He played each character effortlessly! Great pathos, of course, especially the part when The Ghost of Christmas Past helps him remember the kindness of his beloved younger sister, Fan, when she tells him (very young Ebenezer) to come back home ("home, home, home!") because "Father is so much kinder, now!"

  4. Hi, Reggie 29, Patrycja & Jahfin! Thanks for the words re: Patrick Stewart! Hey, you ever see on YouTube the little clip of a Star Trek The Next Generation episode where Data takes a shot @ acting? It was really good! (A scene from Macbeth) They're all sitting around a campfire (Data & Picard included). They say a few verses. Then the next scene is back on the starship where Data asks Picard for his feedback on his acting. The captain gives him a few pointers heh heh. I saw it on YouTube about four months ago. PS: Thanks, Patrycja about the NYC comment. Yeah, I love living here.

  7. Good evening to you, Patrycja! Hey, thanks for the Variety article. I enjoyed it! If I hear anything of Pacino coming to a NY stage, I'll let ya know--no problem. Re: bad plot of "Angels", yeah, I know what you mean. I hate it when the writing is lame. BTW, did you like Star Trek? I wouldn't mind it if they came out with a movie soon with the Captain Picard crew. Speaking of Shakespeare, (lol! like that segue? what segue?) I regret that I missed Patrick Stewart's version of Macbeth @ the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Stupid me! The husband says it was superb! Especially @ the end of Act I and into Act II. It was brilliantly interpreted: End of Act I: one of Macbeth's victim's ghost appears during Macbeth's soliloquy. Intermission. Beginning of Act II: same scene, Macbeth still there alone, no ghost. Unforgettable!
  8. Rock With You - Michael Jackson
  9. Oh, hi Patrycja! Sorry you didn't enjoy Angels and Demons. Maybe, if you want, purge yourself by watching the DVD of good ol' Godfather I. Hope you have a beautiful evening! BTW, I'm still soooo looking forward to Al Pacino in King Lear! Yet, I dread the usual part re: gouging (Regan, the b...., inflicting harm on poor Gloucester, if you catch my drift...) Poor guy. Also, I heard that Twelfth Night's coming to "free" Shakespeare in the Park this summer. It's always been one of my faves!

  13. Hello again, Patrycja! Speaking of Pacino live, back in the early 80s, I saw him in the old Roundabout theatre in the play American Buffalo - hey, he's even better live! What presence! For my birthday, my co-worker (and friend) gave me the Scent Of A Woman DVD. I have yet to see it. Maybe I'll watch it tonight. ha ha. Hey, that's good news re: Pacino in King Lear. Can't wait! Wonder who will play the three sisters? Toodles! And hope you enjoy Angels & Demons.

  15. Oh, hi Patrycja! I agree: Pacino is great! I remember your other post about The Merchant Of Venice--great version! I also like the actress Lynn Collins. I had the great fortune to see her as Rosalind in As You Like It in the free Shakespeare In The Park production (Delacorte Theatre, Central Park, NYC), about three summers ago. Richard Thomas (John-Boy) played the silly jester. He had me doubled over! Also, the actress who played Celia was so wonderful. Loved it!
  16. A good friend of mine told me about this forum in January 2009, so I joined. Yeah, I really like it!

    Nostalgia

    Hi BonzoLikeDrumer! Yeah me too---re: the great 60s and 70s songs and an old AM radio. My first radio (in 6th grade) was a "micro" radio. I listened to both FM & AM. Its dimensions were about 2 1/2 square. I used to hold it against my ear constantly. Its music caressed my ears (lol!) Also, @ 10 pm, I loved it when the "Nightbird" came on the air (Alison Steele). She always opened her radio program with "Nights In White Satin". In addition, I loved the AM DJ Frankie Crocker. His theme song was equally excellent--"There I Go". Whenever I hear the following tunes, I think of my beloved micro radio and the good ol' days back then. FM Band: (The Nightbird) "It's A Beautiful Morning--Young Rascals AM Band(Frankie Crocker) (Theme song: "There I Go") "Tighten Up--Archie Bell & The Drells "Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing" "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" "You're All I Need To Get By--all by Marvin & Tammi
