The Hänsel und Gretel discussions over the holidays plunged me down a YouTube rabbit hole.

Has anyone seen the new film Queer with Daniel Craig? It's excruciatingly boring except for a wildly over the top but entertaining Ulrica like performance by Lesley Manville.
Yes, Fernando Corena, but Reri Grist . . . close to perfection.
Somehow, Von Stade never seemed to get on the wrong side of K. Battle. I’ve always assumed that had something to do with “Flicka’s” uncommon modesty of personal presentation. She is one of my all...

My obeisances to la grande grunowa!
On my way out of this vale of tears -— but — shall go laughing and dancing all the way to my grand finale. Thank you so much and, yes, that scene is the best of Miss Austen. Gone are all the...

I don’t think it’s any more disturbing than Hansel and Gretel: it would be great cut down to 80-90 mins - much of the love stuff and maybe the farcical (but a bit tedious) scene when all the...
My MTT story: in the summer of 1967, when I was 19, I went to LA to stay with my mother, who was a grad student art history at USC. I got a job in the shipping department of a department store,...
Well...this says it all....
A bit late with this posting- featuring a pair of divas and one of the best TV Christmas concerts ever. In the late ‘80s, Frederica Von Stade made a Christmas special with guests Melba Moore, Rex...
