i have looked and looked for the "i'll be seeing you" that was done at the end of a linda ellerbe show (sorry, i know, i know) which she did several years ago about WWII. im not sure, but i think the show was done with bill curtis.....ANYWAY.... the woman who did the song at the end of the show - just a recording- was the best i ever heard that song sung. it is my favorite. FReepers are fantastic at finding stuff and i would show TONS of appreciation for a link to her - whoever she is. THANKS IN ADVANCE!
Thanks for your comprehensive answer. I guess the whole production was so over the top in its fantasy, that the scenes didn't individually cause reactions of disgust at the open politicization, just dismay at the cheesy concept.
I'm guessing you don't read articles.
when (with the exception of a few country songs) our popular culture
I love that song "I'll Be Seeing You"....so did my husband...I don't know how to find it.
>>>However, there's NO WAY int he world he was sober when he wrote this....he HAD tohave a little buzz on. So, the question is, WDSD?..what does Steyn drink..
I don't know, but paraphrasing Lincoln's comments about Grant, we need some for the rest of our columnists. Maybe if we got them off the bong, they might get a clue.
"It's Pokey by a length, with Quiddie wiping up the rear!"
I'm guessing you don't listen to much country either. Because there are a lot of country artists makeing a pro-America sound.
BTTT - God bless President Reagan!
SPOILER ALERT for Day After Tomorrow (skip it if you care to see it)
I hated the movie, too. A similar situation forced me into it, too. Effects were funny, not good (look, we cut-and-pasted hurricanes over the globe), the movie was so preachy and anti-Republican and...Dennis Quaid? What has he EVER done worth watching? And watching him act the part of a scientist was just comedy.
But the temperature dropping 'ten degrees a second' was not nearly as funny as the 'eye' in the cold 'hurricane' that instantly froze you solid...that chase scene with the freezing in the public library, that SLAYED me.
"HURRY--we have to get the doors shut so that we don't instantly freeze to death because of the freezy effect--throw another book on the fire, quick!"
What an awful, awful joke of a movie.
The worst part? When the storm 'cleared' over Europe and the U.S. The 'aerial' shots of a snowy white Europe, including an obvious boot of Italy--when the 'super Ice Age' they'd imposed on the word would have included AN ICE SHELF around the continent. Freeze the harbor of New York in, odds are pretty good Italy's a long white oddity, not a boot.
Other crap: myriad non-frozen New Yorkers running to the top of every skyscraper (Look, Ma, thank God we stayed on the top floor and kept our fireplace on, too, instead of getting caught by the superfast freezy streaks!). The helicopters landing in the middle of the ocean INSTEAD OF THE HUNDREDS OF HELIPADS IN NYC. Oh, and let's not forget THE ENTIRE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE BEING UNAFFECTED.
That movie just made me think how much I need to watch Miller's Crossing again and skip mega-super-blockbuster crap.
They live in their own little universe. Real events reduce the available camera time for them. Therefore, they find reality annoying.
Alternate theory: Knowing themselves to be empty, they have nothing but contempt for those who pay to see their work (that would be us) and want to see them harmed.
