Posted: 7/6/04 at 12:58amI seriously want the Anthony Michael Hall bobble head. hehehe. The Dead Zone is my favorite show on television and it would rock to have it.

We consider ourselves bi-costal if you consider the Mississippi River one of the coasts.
"Dybbyck Shmybbyck, I Said 'More Ham'" that revue I believe was 1914, and that revue was what made him famous. Incidentally, the song "Bubi Made A Kishka" came from that revue.
And another thing. Once you go into that circle, the weather never changes. It is always 67 degrees with a 40% chance of rain. ALWAYS

Posted: 7/6/04 at 1:09amWe began talking about panty hose. It's like in Hitchcock movie when you're thrown into a rubber bad and in the trunk of a car. You find people. You find them. Is it karma? Mayby. But we found him, that's the point. And, I bought Bonnie a wonderful pant suit.

Posted: 7/6/04 at 7:48amAwesome movie. Will never work on stage. Too much improv and the documentary style cannot be recreated well on stage. Another cast would simply try to imitate the original and most likely be inferior.

>> "My Dinner With Andre" action figures
ROFLMAO!
And all the funnier because only theatre people will realize how wonderfully absurd that is.

Posted: 7/6/04 at 11:07amThey weren't bobble-heads, they were Big Heads. Completely different collector's items.

No, I don't think it would be as good onstage.
Although, the great thing about action figures is that you can make up your own dialogue. And see Laertes whizzin by. Audiences don't like fire poked in their noses.

Posted: 7/6/04 at 2:35pmdamn ... if only i had asked his brother for an ANdrew McCarthy "big head" instead of "bobble head" then I'm sure he wouldn't have been offended that everyone knows his bro and not him, and for sure would have got me one!

Posted: 7/6/04 at 2:50pmThe whole conceptualization, the fear, because you know poeple don't like fire poked . . . poked in their noses. It's like when you get a cinder of barbabque on the tips of their noses and they make that . . face. That's not a good thing. Updated On: 7/6/04 at 02:50 PM

Posted: 7/6/04 at 5:49pmhaha I love that this topic all of a sudden exsists because I just saw this movie for the first time on Sunday, and I thought it was great! I love mockumentaries when their done right.

Posted: 7/7/04 at 12:06amI love this movie, easily one of my top movies of all time but I don't think it'd be great live really. Most of the excellence of it is how off the cuff the actors are in making it. I'm probably wrong, and I know I'd see it if it ever happened.

love the movie, love the cast, can't picture it onstage without the original cast. plus i think guest's movies lose a lot of their appealif they feel too rehearsed. I like the feeling that a lot of it is improvised or at least written by the actors. it'd be hard to keep fresh and interesting for too long.
but it begs the questions: what musical could we see all or some of the cast members in? i'd love to see Eugene Levy and Fred Willard pair up for the Producers.

I wish there were a DQ in NYC too. Then if I was thirsty I could go get a Coke. Or a Blizzard. You know, if I was thirsty.
