Rewatching Doubt, and noticing the way Father Flynn uses his maleness, not merely his authority as a priest, to attempt to keep Sister Aloysius in her place.
Also noting that Amy Adams tells her students to turn to p. 683 in a textbook that most certainly doesn't have 683 pages in it.
Plus there's some confusion (perhaps it's mine?) as to whether the sugar that Sister Aloysius serves Father Flynn is in a sugar bowl or a paper bag.
The thing with the sugar is definitely some odd continuity glitch.

Happy Audrey Hepburn's birthday! ImageImageImage
In 1991 I sent a note to Audrey Hepburn c/o Lincoln Center to tell her that a friend of mine who was to have attended her Film Society gala was too ill to attend, and she wrote him a note on her UNICEF stationery and sent it from Switzerland.

That's my Audrey Hepburn story.
"I missed you at Lincoln Centre [sic]! Get well soon!"

Goddess.

This is a supremely important moment that fully works only if you’ve been, to this point, watching the film in sepia rather than in b/w.
If I'm remembering it all correctly, that's Judy's stand-in, Bobie Koshay, in sepia dress and makeup (in the sepia set), making way for Technicolor Judy's entrance.
BTW that long pan (or is it a tracking shot, I can never remember which is which) across Munchkinland was snipped out of the print most of us remember watching on TV in the 60s.

Always happy to point out to Wizard of Oz watchers that the WWW's skywriting is addressed not to Dorothy (i.e., "Surrender, Dorothy") but to the citizens of Emerald City (i.e., give Dorothy to me). It originally read in full "Surrender Dorothy or die."
Also always happy to brood over the fact that the Witch's head monkey gets better billing than Aunt Em.
How many viewings did it take me to figure out what the Munchkin barrister says after "This is a day of independence / for all the Munchkins and their descendants"?

Many.

Oh, shit, I forgot again the real name of the instrument I've always thought of as the Zither of Transcendence.

My friend @InothatcatDaly told me once.

Box harp?

Box something.

Gets used a lot in Broadway orchestrations.
Next time I hear it in a recording, I'll shout it out.

(I suspect that if I listen to the OBC recording of Side Show, I'm going to hear it a lot.)
Bingo.

It's there in the opening second of "Buddy Kissed Me."

Sounds like a sort of xylophone chime thingie.

Happy Paul Robeson's birthday!
Peggy Ashcroft, who had a brief affair with Robeson ("Well, wouldn't you?" —Guys and Dolls), registered her displeasure that Robeson, appearing with her in the Savoy Theatre, was not welcome in the adjoining hotel.
Robeson concludes his (amazing) performance of "Ol' Man River" in the '36 Show Boat with a huge grin, and I've never been sure if it's Joe fully embracing existence or Paul acknowledging how good he is.
