Rolling right along with Three Dog Night Week, even though my UK friends are gritting their teeth, tonight’s selection is one I’ve always thought had a certain ‘je ne sais quoi’ that gets the feet tapping.  Until tonight, I never knew the lyrics and always thought he was saying “hide your horses”. The song was written and initially recorded in 1967 by American singer-songwriter and pianist Laura…

Three Dog Night Drummer and Co-founder Floyd Sneed Dies at 80

- “A complete original and a sweetheart of a man,” band says

Floyd Sneed, founding drummer of Three Dog Night, died Jan. 27 at 80, his former brother-in-law, Tommy Chong said.

Sneed died “after a battle with poor health,” Chong said.

A “saddened” Three Dog Night eulogized their former drummer as “an absolutely wonderful human being, a complete original and a sweetheart of a man.

“He was also an extraordinarily unique drummer who brought so much to Three Dog Night’s sound.”

Sneed played with the group during its initial 1968-1974 run and again from 1981-’84. He was a member of the Classic Drummer Hall of Fame.

Former Three Dog Night singer Chuck Negron remembered his “friend and musical peer” as “a unique and powerful drummer and more importantly a kind and special human being,” in a post on social media.

“I love you, Floyd, and I will keep you in my heart always,” Negron said.

Has anyone watched the movie Iceman (1984)? It’s the sci-fi one about a 40000-year-old Neanderthal man found frozen in the Arctic and resurrected in the modern day, starring Timothy Hutton and John Lone. I watched it a few days ago and neeeeeed to talk about it with someone. If anyone has watched it my DMs are open.

Looking for Love

When I was teaching theater, I sometimes thought GLEE was my worst enemy. Try getting students to work on acting assignments and productions when they’ve seen the GLEE kids grab some music and immediately improvise a polished production number. I even had some students ask me to sponsor a glee club, their own version of New Directions, and managed to decline without screaming, “No fracking way! This school’s already given me one ulcer!” That’s all a round-about way of getting to Don Weis’ LOOKING FOR LOVE (1964, TCM). Early on, while on THE TONIGHT SHOW to hawk her new “Lady Valet” invention, Connie Francis mentions she used to be a singer, and Johnny Carson (not as embarrassing as he used to joke after the film tanked at the box office) urges her to do a number. She then launches into a polished impromptu performance, with the band not missing a beat as they back her up. “Thanks a bunch,” my inner curmudgeon screamed. But then she’s booked at the last minute on a variety show (to replace Barbara Nichols in a number nobody in their right mind could envision her performing), does the number without rehearsal, and it’s a disaster — a very funny, expertly performed disaster, but a disaster, nonetheless. I felt vindicated. Then the show’s host, Danny Thomas, asks her to join him in an unrehearsed duet. And it’s great but, more important than that, it looks unrehearsed. The two create a totally believable, utterly charming illusion of spontaneity. And, of course, the number makes her character a star.

Anyway, producer Joe Pasternak had worked magic with Deanna Durbin and Jane Powell, so naturally when MGM signed Francis to a three-picture deal, they expected him to do the same for her. He didn’t, but it’s not for lack of her trying. Francis is a natural in front of the camera and, working with veteran director Don Weis, pulls off some nifty physical bits. I kept thinking somebody should have cast her and Annette Funicello as sisters, with a good script (a musical version of EXPERIMENT IN TERROR? Nah! Something original and, did I mention this before, well-written). Francis is backed by a solid cast, including Jim Hutton as the promoter she loves who can’t see her as a romantic object, Susan Oliver as her wise-cracking best friend and Joby Baker as the bass player who loves Francis. The script, however, just isn’t there. The jokes aren’t funny, and the suggestion that becoming a singing star can’t hold a candle to marrying a doctor (who’ll probably end up cheating on her with Lauren Bacall or Gloria Grahame or Dyan Cannon, because that’s what movie doctors do) is hopelessly dated. Of course, given her choices between Hutton’s chauvinistic character and Baker, who keeps trying to upstage her while they’re performing (his book scenes, however, are solid), I kept thinking she should have ended up with Oliver. When they’re struggling roommates, they naturally share a bedroom in their otherwise spacious apartment. But when Francis hits it big and hires Oliver as her secretary, they live in a mansion,where they’re still sharing a bedroom. Kind of makes you go, “hmmm!” doesn’t it?

hot vintage dunmeshi fancast? (idk if this is something your into but i thought i'd try :))

it's your lucky day!

Laois—a really young Danny Kaye could nail this but might be too obviously silly. (but then....Laois.) Guy Madison is my more "serious laois" backup pick.

Marcille—Anne Baxter was really good at getting unhinged when she wanted, but I feel like Betty Hutton would be hysterical and walk that line between cute and necromancy.

Chilchuck—Elisha Cook Jr.

Senshi—Walter Huston

Falin—is this Marilyn? I feel like this is Marilyn.

Shuro—you know who I'm going to cast. You know who would eat this role.

Izutsumi—Misa Uehara!

Kabru—Dev Anand I think! he'd bring the Charm™

I feel like I'm slightly off with the main four....let me know your casting ideas :)
