Posted: 10/25/04 at 8:19pmno problem. I made a mistake and I attacked bythesword without her ever doing anything to me and I apologize. There is no need to rant at eachother over stupid and petty stuff and I am sorry. I also didn't mean to jump down CJRs throat. It was an unclear matter and it's over with.

Posted: 10/25/04 at 8:29pmI have seen BKLYN several times including opening night. Every time that I have seen it the majority of the audience loved it. Maybe you want to read some of today's review's:NEW YORK MAGAZINE THEATRE REVIEW, Cindy Adam's column, Associated Press, Joan Hamburg. People who get it love it. I do.

I can't believe Simon liked Brooklyn.
Maybe in 12 years he will change his mind like he did with Sondheim.
Agony.

Posted: 10/25/04 at 11:05pmSimon doesn't like Brooklyn at all. He just accepts it for what it is. He seems very resigned about it.

Posted: 10/25/04 at 11:52pmJobs?!?!?! You mean like going to work and sitting at a desk or something? Whoah! That must be hard. I wouldn't know. I'm sorry. If I couldn't sit in my recliner all day watching TV and go to movies, shows, and clubs at night I would die!

Posted: 10/26/04 at 12:05amActually no. I'm a college student. Most of my days are like that. I spend as much time doing that as I can while still getting excellent grades. (I'm gifted. I don't have to study that hard.) lol

Anyone who actually thinks John Simon LIKED "Brooklyn" needs to clean their glasses and take a reading comprehesion course. Look up the word "bemused" and try again:

Margo sweetie,
For Simon that was being sweet. I thought he would rip the show to threads.
For me the only thing I LIKED about Brooklyn was Ramona Keller and the rest of the cast. There is no question, they are talented.
But I really thought that the story (plot)(what plot) was the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen.
Simon is known for his acid tongue, this review had no acidity.
