re: What's happening to Musical Theater Writers? (adapters) Mar 3
2009, 12:20:42 PM
WHy don't they adapt something decent thoug?!
i don't have a problem with adaptations. it's well known most musicals are adapted from something, and i believe that Lehman Engel even suggested that BMI writers stick to adapting rather than making stories up...
i actually expect some of the new adaptations like addams family et al.
but why SPIDERMAN? and sleepless in seattle is a bit too blah in my opinion. and so on.

Logo-Talk:
these logo and artwork are horrible IMO.
it looks like some blah photoshop filter on the most generic Spidy image.
too un-artistic and dull.
