Do you think that walls can hide you?
Even now I'm at your window
I am in the dark beside you...
You'll never escape.
Love,
Your stalker
In the curtains
in the silver
in the buttons
In the bread...
Every day a little dies..
Happy divorce babe. I'm suing you for all you've got.

Musical Sequels? Oct 1
2006, 02:17:38 AM
I just saw someone carrying around the sequel book to Wicked and I started wondering-- have people ever tried to make sequels of sucessful musicals?It's obviously a very popular practice in film, but has anyone tried to make Les Miz 2? or Cats 2? etc.

Couldn't agree more about "Bridge and Tunnel." I saw it last year and Sarah is seriously amazing. Go see it everyone.

People, People, this is clearly meant to be a beacon for the "teenyboppers." She's TRYING to get them to show up. Plus, have you guys realized that some of these "teenyboppers" have some, shall we say INFLUENTIAL parents?

Wow, I am seriously one of the most critical people about acting and I absolutely enjoyed Adam's performance. Not wild about the movie but I thought Adam transitioned really well to screen and there was a sense of honesty in his Roger that I found lacking in a few of the other characters. I tend to agree with luvtheemcee here--I feel like people are just bashing him because "he's not an actor" and "hasn't been trained."

Sweeneyfan, I think you are being too harsh. Let people specualte about what went on "behind the scenes" it's not embarrassing, it's human nature and WHOLE cable networks like E! are devoted to it. It only becomes a problem when it becomes invasive. This specific case is pretty harmless.
Plus, on the whole people are reading these sites issue: the fact that people care enough to talk about Idina and Kristin endlessly should be taken as a good sign.

Walk outs Nov 26
2005, 03:12:30 PM
Well, here is an interesting tidbit of news to report. It sounds like the walk-outs thus far have been predominantly middle-aged people who were offended by the material. BUT I saw it in the Bay Area this week and two gay couples walked out of the showing. One couple walked out just about halfway through the movie. The guys stood up, rolled their eyes at each other and glanced at the rest of the theater, snickered and took off. The other couple I guess wanted to give it some more time, but end

"If this film is mediocre or just plain bad, then no one person involved in it should be exclusively to blame."
Well, I plan to blame Chris. You need imagination to write a screenplay(even if it is an adaptation) and direct.

Doug-I don't see a problem with your idea and I respect you very much for being so proactive in trying to realize your vision. HOWEVER, I just don't think it will work. Aside from all the logistical problems which everyone has recounted ad nauseum I fail to understand wha

Yes, it's what happened with "The Play About the Baby"

"Which one?"
"The Play About the Baby."
"Yes, but wat's it called?'

Wow, this interview brings back my affection for Idina which admittedly had been waning. I love that it's candid and it just feels so honest that you can't help not loving her.
My favorite quote:
"I feel like people don't give me enough credit for my training."
I wonder where she got that idea?

I agree with Starbuck! As someone who has been to the Paramount numerous times and performed on the stage before it seems like a perfect fit. Excellent work.

Bernadette Peters is the only performer to ever have given me chills. I wish I could write her a letter that would express the empathy and admiration I feel toward her for continuing on in these devastating circumstances but I can't because I wouldn't know what to say nor would it mean very much because it would just be an anonymous letter in a sea of many. It just seems so unfair that a woman who has given me so much should go through these difficult circumstances and I have nothing to give b
