Profile for Pauly3

Jay Lerner-Z said: "Pauly, not all opinions are worthy of respect. Especially not where harm is being done. Opinions like JKR's pose a serious threat, and we can't just gloss over that."

 

What opinion has she expressed that has specifically caused harm, where she does not also specifically express protection of another group?  It's this sort of balance and nuance that is disregarded that I find so ridiculous.  I may be missing

Jay Lerner-Z said: "I say wrong.

How much money does JK Rowling make from this, and what does she do with it?"

Preposterous questions. It does not and should not matter.  The work was honest, legal, admirable and desired by those who purchased her work product.  She was paid what people were willing to pay.  What she does with that money she earned is no ones business but her own.

The desire to end the Cursed Chi

This thread is embarrassing, but only for those arguing from the narrow and false standpoint that there is disgust of the mere presence of migrants.  There is no justification for the mods to do anything.  Shutting down debate is yet another trait, more

Kad said: "I’m sorry, the entire first page of this thread is entirely members griping about the mere presence of these people. There is no mention of burden on tax payers or any other sociopolitical issue attached to their presence.

Nobody here has said things are great or that there isn’t an issue- there is a glaring issue. America is too large and too wealthy of a nation to have thousands of folks in temporary housing at best out on the streets of its larges

You folks here are entertaining and never disappoint when it comes to discussing anything politically controversial.  It's interesting that conservatives or "non-lefties", if not entirely, mostly offer an opinion without attacking the lefties for simply being on the left.  Contrast that with what the lefties too often do.  The lefties, as demonstrated here, will either attack the opposing side for simply being on the opposing side or avoid the argument, throw out

Is ONCE ON THIS ISLAND touring, or is it a one-time deal at the Ahmanson?  If it is touring, why should it play the Taper?


"THE LAST SHIP, another dubious programming choice. My guess is that it never would have been part of the season had STING not agreed to do it."

Comparing the longevity of runs between the revised version and the original - and declaring the original to be the superior money maker, doesn't quite click.  I also prefer the original, but that version had all but stopped touring.  Was this because the demand was low or for other reasons?  The revised version is now in its 2nd US tour - and seemingly doing very well.  The revised version on Broadway ran about twice as long as the first revival of the original.&

Jarethan said: "In what universe? The gross still reflects discounted tickets in this the second or third busiest week of the year."

The (increased) gross also reflects only 7 performances.  "Looking good" may be a stretch in the big picture (based on known and unknown info), but the related comment was a long way from wholly unreasonable (based on known and unknown 

I saw Lianah Sta Ana as well and thought she was quite good.  It took a little while for me to fully warm up to her, but I got there while still in the first act.  Going in knowing I would not be seeing Eva Noblezada, I wasn't too disappointed as I knew the London recording on DVD/Blu-ray (with Eva) will be released at some point....and could get the Blu-ray from Amazon UK anytime and play it on any Blu-ray player as it is not region coded.

I liked Anastasi

Warbucks2 said: "For a week where most shows took a dip, happy to see OOTI makinga slight increase over last week. I'm hopeful (and so far the numbers seem to be proving out) that this will continue to followa very similar word of mouth path to success as Come From Away - which had very similar numbers in its initial weeks and gradually kept growing and growing as more people discoveredhow incredible of a show it is."

What shred of evidence do you have to evensuggestthis, much less proclaim it with such confidence?"

perfectlymarvelous said, in part: "Broadway could and should be doing more to make every ensemble look like Great Comet's. Which is why I fail to understand and also disagree with this point in basically any context in which it could have occurred."

OK, but if an actual dialog amongst those with opposing view points could be had, maybe some common ground could be found.  Oak seems to be willing to talk now.  Maybe some understanding on Oak's part th
