God forbid anyone make light of the groundbreaking work they're doing.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

My god, they might as well take out a howitzer and shoot their feet off to the kneecaps.

They're 70 million in the hole, plus whatever it's gonna cost 'em once all the lawsuits are settled. Can't imagine they're finding much to laugh at these days.

I, however, am just about rolling.

I know you. I know you. I know you.

Really? The threat of a cease and desist order? Absolutely no sense of humor.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Or knowledge of satire/parody laws...

Actually, it sort of sounds like it was intended as a joke, rather than a threat...at least it COULD be taken that way.

Behind the fake tinsel of Broadway is real tinsel.

I don't think those laws apply when they're dealing with Dame Taymor. It's her vision they're making fun of, and I'm pretty sure the Supreme Court ruled on that a few years ago.

""We hope you enjoy the flowers. It was cheaper than a cease-and-desist.""

NOW they're worried about saving money?

Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

They don't mind spending other peoples' money; they're just cheap when it comes to their own.

Do they honestly think Conan isn't going to mention this on his show?

I took the flowers and note as them having a sense of humor.

Same. They may be a little intense, but they're not little kids. I highly doubt that, if they truly were offended, they would send flowers with a mean note.

Yes, I suppose I could see it as a funny. maybe even as a thank you for MORE publicity.

Honestly, I don't know how anyone could NOT see this as the Spiderman team taking it in stride, or at least, pretending to take it in stride.

Phyl, there's a cadre of people here who are infuriated about Julie Taymor and Spider Man.

No matter what happens, they will look for the worst possible spin. "A concussion and some injuries. This show MUST be shut down!!!"

The rage is astronomical, irrational, and probably reveals a lot about the people who feel it.

Namo, Julie essentially is KILLING people. Do you not get that? She is carelessly playing with peoples lives here and she has to be stopped. If this were Susan Stroman, she would be in jail and we both know it.

Julie Taymor and the Spider-Man team has a sh*tload of bigger fish to fry than worrying about Conan O'Brien. WTF.

My thoughts exactly, Phyl. Thanks for expressing them far more eloquently than I.

Jordan, I think you're wrong, not conceptually, but in your assessment of the justice system. If Stroman didn't go to jail for the Producers movie she can obviously get away with murder.

But I can see where you're coming from vis a vis Julie Taymor's campaign of genocide.

She came first for the Disney movies
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Disney movie.

Then she came for the Shakespeare plays
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Shakespeare play.

Then she came for the comic strips,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a comic strip.

Then she came for me
and by that time no one was left to get the joke.
