The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, part seven — Page 36

I believe Toronto is the 3rd largest(english speaking)theatre city. Am I correct? I forget where I heard that from.

I mean, why not come to Toronto.

I'm not sure where we rank in size, but I do know we're pretty big. I've only heard of three cities that have original casts, Broadway, London, and Canadian (which is Toronto). A lot of shows start here before they move to New York (LOTR, Mamma Mia).

Okay, so I just watched the DVD, and all I wanted to say is, don't shoot me for saying this, but I understand where Chris is coming from in the cutting of Halloween (not so much Goodbye Love or April's suicide.)

I was watching it, and I could understand why he cut it, because you just come from Angel's funeral, and you're feeling a lot of emotion, and then it just cuts to Mark. It's much more powerful coming from the song and then just seeing that rose being placed on Angel's grave. Having Halloween in between kind of takes away from that, although I think that they should have found some way to put it in.

Oh, and I loved the commentary. :)

Also, I LOVED the alternate ending, and how it both worked and didn't work. It would have been a suitable ending, but I can see how stupid and or nitpicky people would have either been confused as to whether Angel was still alive, or why he was coming back out.

Oh, and one more thing. While I might sort of agree that Halloween wouldn't have completely worked, I think that Chris Columbus overanalyzes things to the extreme. He put absolutely way to much thought into each and everything in the movie. That shouldn't be a bad thing, but considering everything he put too much thought into ended up being a decision that most of the fans hated, it is.

I wasn't particularly upset with Chris until I got the DVD, and found out some of his "reasonings".

I dunno. I really tried to accept what he did, and just take those as his choices. But the suicide thing.. I guess I would've felt better about a REAL explanation. Not "I couldn't fit it."

Katt, those are from wardrobe tests.

I tried for 10 minutes to freeze the frame of the baby-Anthony picture in Marks movie.

And the commentary was so great, I love all their hair comments. And Anthony during Sante Fe...hilarious.

---

Everytime I watch that Santa Fe scene, that Britney Spears video will be playing in my mind. Hehehe. It's really sad that I know which music video it is.

I'm really irked about the whole suicide thing though. I really don't buy that reasoning.

We're actually not supposed to be talking about specifics here. Not everyone has the DVD. I do, but I figured I'd return the favour from the Without You discussions.

I wonder why -- even in the deleted scene -- the lines "For someone who's always been let down, who's heading out of town?" and "for someone who longs for a community of his own, who's with his camera, alone?" are missing. I think "I hate the fall" is also not there.

---

I hate the fall isn't there.

And there are still some deleted scenes that I would like to see. The suicide for one.

I wasn't particularly upset with Chris until I got the DVD, and found out some of his "reasonings".

Same here. While I can understand why Halloween was cut, I can't bring myself to agree with his reasons for cutting Goodbye Love, and I seriously wanted to throw something at my TV when he gave his reason for not including the suicide and when he made his "I wish there were more Taye" comment. And all of the "look at this perfect camera angle!" stuff really started to grate - it's a movie where you had the luxury of multiple takes, every damn camera angle should be perfect!

The missing lines in Goodbye Love threw me for a loop, too. I wonder what sort of "explanation" Chris would give for that.

Good morning!

So...I mostly watched ice skating last night, but I did watch the deleted scenes. 'Goodbye Love' made me cry.

...Sasha Cohen is amazing....

Morning, everyone.
