@jenwriter17 Okay, well, I haven’t seen Jurassic Park, so I don’t know what levels of scariness that includes. 😛  But I guess that means it won’t be a problem.  And the villain in the ’55 movie isn’t nearly as scary as the one in the Hugh Jackman Broadway version from 1999.  (My sister and I have three different versions of Oklahoma! that we wa…[Read more]

@rochellaine Awesome, I’ll check those out 😉 (my youngest sibling is 11, but she’s seen Jurassic Park, so…yeah)

@jenwriter17 A favorite with a lot of people around here is Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954).  Singin’ in the Rain (1952) is a classic, and very funny.  It’s about the rocky transition from silent films to talkies in 1929.  Oklahoma! (1955) is also very good.  That one’s unusual for an old musical in that it actually has a villain.  A real…[Read more]

@rochellaine Wow, that pic looks dangerous! i’m sorry your basement got flooded, but at least nothing worse happened.

what are some good musicals I can watch with my family?

@jenwriter17 A whole bunch. 😛 But presently it’s Tom Sawyer, 1973, by the Sherman Brothers.  This is the song I’m on right now:  A Man’s got to Be What He’s Born to Be (Not such a great message, but… 😉  I like the song Gratifaction better.

Also, looking at pictures of the flash floods in my county last night:

Wow, right? Thankfully we li…[Read more]

@rochellaine Ooh, what musicals? 😉

my editing is going pretty slow, but right now I’m working on outlining for the SE contest. Sorry if I asked this already, but are you going to enter too?

@warrenluther04 @seekjustice @ingridrd @skredder @ariel-ashira @sarah-anson @anyone else I missed

I forgot to ask one last thing: do you have any title ideas? I really like one or two word titles, so I don’t really like the one it has now. Any and all ideas would be appreciated 🙂

@jenwriter17 I’m here for a little bit, trying to prepare for a conference call which I’ll have in a couple hours. (Law school. 😉 )  And getting distracted listening to musicals.

How’s your editing coming?

@rochellaine Are you still on?

@alia That is terrific news! Truly awesome! 😀

@alia @seekjustice @rochellaine @skredder @kaya-young @ariel-ashira Anyone on? I think I can be on a little, but I might have to leave any minute.

@alia That is terrific news! 😀 I welcome her into the Christian family. That is truly awesome! 😉

I’ll be on in about 15

@alia Okay, goodbye.

@alia That’s amazing!  Praise God!

Are you writing now?

@alia I actually have to go practice piano now, but I’ll be back in about 30-40 minutes 🙂

@alia @rochellaine are you two still on?

@alia Whoops! Was she locked in, or did she just decide she preferred being inside?

Last night it rained buckets and there was a flash flood.  We had to rescue the rabbits from drowning, literally, since a river is now where their cage used to be, on the low ground in our backyard.  They spent the night in our basement in an extra dog cage.

@alia The Meet Me in St. Louis Celeste Holm was in is the 1966 tv remake.  Is that really the one your mom likes?  Most people only know the 1944 version with Judy Garland.  (I have never heard of the ’66 version until now.  The only versions I’d heard of were the ’44 version and the ’59 version with Jane Powell.

Oh, I haven’t seen Tom Saw…[Read more]

@alia Ginger Rogers is most famous for her work as Fred Astaire’s leading lady, but she is also known as an amazing comedienne and dramatic actress in her own right.  Walter Pidgeon is one of the greatest male actors from the 40s and has been in lots of stuff.  His most frequent partner was Greer Garson in a lot of drama films, but he’s also w…[Read more]

@alia Don’t worry about the Lesley Ann Warren version.  I just recommended it because it’s another version and because the singing is pretty good, but I don’t really like the acting.  I’ve just been watching clips and remembered that.  If you want to see what it was like you can fine a lot of short clips of it on YouTube, but the Julie Andrews ve…[Read more]
