ghostlight2, I think you are obsessing on me a little like your old time poster friend. Hope you don't follow your friend's example by harassing me with multiple posts declaring love for the guy in my avatar or using my username to title a thread full of lies.
I wouldn't want your "good standing" here on these boards questioned by your obvious cyber stalking.

"Sleazy" is right. So is "tawdry." Look at the original poster the girls looked like death warmed over. The revival brought a sleek sexy style to the show. Much more sellable to an audience being asked to cheer on two murderers.
I thought I remember reading that Fosse was going through a very bleak almost nihilistic personal period and that influenced his whole outlook on the show.

I miss the card game scene too. I see why it was cut, but it was a real "moment" in the show and held the action just long enough to add to the building tension rather than diminish it. Also, it was just plain funny.

Thanks Phyllis. Her message can't be heard enough.

Well if I include your strained accusations - yes, I do seem to have an unusual number of paranoid people around me these days.
With messages of hope from the IT GETS BETTER campaign to encourages me, I take all the nonsense around me in stride.

You'd have to ask that old time poster why he has chosen to attack me. Perhaps my avatar excites him. The hundred plus responses to my thread proclaiming his love for Zeb Atlas suggests such an obession.
I started this thread without mentioning the attacks against me because I don't have paranoid or self-pitying feelings about them. My "admission," as you call it, was only in answer to your question. A point of clarification. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Hi ghostlight2, I use "real" to distinguish against the cyber nastiness that I've been subjected to since I started posting.
How my little thread about my friend giving up Sondheim for lent warrants over a hundred angry responses from the same Zeb Atlas admirer, I'll never understand.
How that same person starts a thread titled with my username to tell lies about my PM'ing him and such(show me one of those PMs) is certainly unpleasant, but not the same level of real bullying

metropolis10111, I think my friend needs to follow your example. Obviously a dependency on Sondheim and LuPone isn't healthy.
Along with the aforementioned night sweats and shakes, my friend is now showing signs of extreme paranoia along with a persecution complex.
I'm tempted to hum a few bars of Anyone Can Whistle to take the edge off, but I fear I'm only feeding the problem.

A friend of my mine has given up anything Sondheim or Patti LuPone related for lent.
He is not even half way through and he is going through serious withdrawls... night sweats and the shakes. Nothing else interests him...except gay muscle porn now and then.
Do you think you could give up Sondheim or Patti LuPone for 46 days? I'm pretty sure I couldn't.
