...Thank you very much for Tara ArdenSmith's favorable article on life in Winthrop. There is no question that Winthrop House is a wonderful place and deserves good press...
...Thank you, Harold. But I'd add that the old Bill Murray was pretty revelatory too. Who said, "The work of any pioneering artist first looks like excess, then reveals itself as precision"? Well, I guess I did, just now. But / as Nick the Lounge Singer on SNL and in a lot of his movies, Bill taught us that there was a magical, very American bliss to be achieved by failing in public and not realizing it. He was the soul of the showman in every CPA who's just had that third Scotch on the rocks...
...Thank you, Danny. And now Bill is very good at something else. In John McNaughton's Mad Dog and Glory, he's a loan-shark boss who shows his gratitude to a cop, Robert De Niro, by sending him a woman, Uma Thurman, for a week's pleasure. The movie is a little gimpy, and I wanted to fast-forward during the reaction shots. And you know our guy is playing the villain, because he goes to White Sox games and Bill is a famous Cubs fan. But, hey, he's molto impressive. He drops his voice half an octave...
...should we all thank four years of great weather and Dining Services food? Or can anyone reap the benefits of exercise...
...this comic melodrama had a book by Hill and a score by Ian Armit. In 1984 Hill dropped the original music and wrote new lyrics to arias by Gounod, Offenbach, Verdi, Mozart and Donizetti. Lloyd Webber considered producing an embellished version of it, then decided to do his own. Thank heavens. Hill's backstage farce is a kind of Noises Off without the wit, and the cast plays it as hammy gaslight farce -- a penny dreadful that at today's prices plays like a $32.50 dreadful. It alights this week in Indianapolis and Kansas City, Missouri...
