Why Musicals SHOULD be VIDEOTAPED — Page 16

This thread is starting to go the way many threads go on BWW. Once there is a strong negative vibe (especially from a Senior Editor) it goes into a spiral and people who haven't been interested jump in and the thread comes to a crashing halt of negativity.

I've enjoyed the debate. Really. Many thanks for those who have contributed. I will be back in a few months with an update. If you want to keep in touch, email subscribe@uktheatre.net and you will get a weekly update.

All the very best BWW folks.

Okay, so I did the i-tunes thing and saw that you had "Guys and Dolls" listed. I downloaded it thinking I was going to see some awesome video of the London revival. What I saw was some very cheesy and amateurish video of some very attractive people while someone warbled "Sit Down, You're Rocking The Boat." Is this as good as it gets? Or should I try another video to get a better idea of what you are striving for? I really don't want to waste my time if it is really just you with a phone cam editing some stage door **** and playing a song over it.

My post seemed to have disappeared. But it was supposed to read like this:

Just a point of clarification, anybody who has posted as much as you have in this thread has no business writing "I have better things to do than to invest time in going through your significant comments and addressing them."

Really? You've obviously read them and judged them significant.

You don't come off well in this thread UST. You might want to try to come off as a nice guy whom people might want to be around as you're attempting to get your business to grow. You shouldn't seem like as much of a pompous ass as you do now until you're filthy rich as a result of your own personal ingenuity that you keep trumpeting.

OK. OK. OK. OK.

Humble Pie being eaten.

I am not good at handling a barrage of what I perceived to be attacks from people wanting to throw houses on me to being called condescending and pompous, it's not pleasant and there's only so much enthusiasm I can pull together to keep positive when that happens. I'm also working 7-7 in my day job AND coming home and running UKTN until 2am, so I guess I'm burning the candle at both ends and trying to keep it all going.

So, I apologise if I did come across incorrectly, and I will try and choose my words more carefully in future.


All the best for now, I've got a busy week ahead with filming 20 performances at the Edinburgh Fringe so I will catch up later in the week. Thanks again for everyone who is joining the network. About 50 a day at the moment.

I would have responded to your PM but got the message "Sorry, This User Does Not Accept Private Messages."

No doubt to protect yourself from the attentions of the many admirers you have acquired through your charm and marketing savvy.

---

For some reason the PM setting had changed. I've turned it back on.

Listen Craig. Get off your high horse. He's obviously from England.

He spelled apologize "apologiSe"

What more proof do you need of his British-ness and therefore supreme trustworthiness and business stature?

Sheesh! Some people!

---

Scottish, eh?

That's from Scotland if I remember correctly.

They speak English in Scotland?

---

No thank you.

I'm intrigued by this.

Have you ever heard of Ireland? I hear it's similar and possibly close by.

I don't throw this term around lightly, but once I read "I'm also working 7-7 in my day job AND coming home and running UKTN until 2am..." I realized you're the UK's Corine2!

I had just email'd Corine2 earlier as someone recommended her website.

To answer SUMOF's question:- No, there's enough muck on the net without theatre adding to it. The pixelator will be at work for any dodgy moves by cups and saucers or hip swaying by cats with hats.

" I had just email'd Corine2 earlier as someone recommended her website."

Saints be praised, water does seek its own level!

I do find something very disturbing about the post of USTheater. He has failed to address questions asked of him, and when skirting a comment posted by someone not of his mindset, he has, IN MY OPINION, posted fabrications of what another has stated. Yes, fabrications. I find that a unsavory trait and would rethink entering into any type of relationship with someone exhibiting this character trait, especially a relationship where I was requested to subscribe and divulge personal and possible financial information. Yup, that's what I wrote, that's what I feel. To me, that's the same as someone not looking you straight in the eyes.


Craig, since this thread has seemed to have reached a stalemate, with no new thoughts being posted, perhaps it's time to consider the thread be locked. What more is there to say?

I would also like to suggest to the administration of BWW that they give serious consideration to the banning of and deleting website links of any site that's not of a charitable organization. For example, if someone wanted to raise money from, say snowglobes, they could be directed to BC/EFA but not that little shop around the corner.
