Hey y'all! Sorry I've been away for awhile. After having family visit, we went away on vacation. But I'm back now. Does anyone have big plans for July 4th (John's birthday)?
It's been a year since I first heard the JB cast recording. Although I've listened to it consistently all these months, something about the weather is reminding me of my first days as a JB fan. It also helps that songs like Sherry and Walk Like a Man are so upbeat and happy, and summer is my favorite time of the year. And not that I needed to be reminded, but JLY sounds positively wonderful on the recording.
Aw, LOTR! I haven't seen those movies in awhile, Erin, but you're making me want to watch them again. I LOVE them, easily my favorite films within the past several years. Eowyn is my favorite character. While I'm happy she ends up with Faramir, I also liked her and Aragorn together a lot. I was rooting for E&A and E&F the whole time.
I'm glad that LOTR (like the classic Star Wars saga) was able to prove that fantasy films, when acted well and from the heart, taken seriously, and executed perfectly, were just as legitimate as other dramatic films and worthy of accolades and respect. Broadly speaking, a similar argument could be made re: JERSEY BOYS and the jukebox musical. Also, both LOTR and JB have brotherhood and cameraderie as themes (hey, four hobbits, Four Seasons....), and both are based on material that is considered timeless.
Have a good week, everyone! I'll try to post more now that I'm back.
