Many years ago Sydney Pollack remade Sabrina (Not a musical) fixing all of its small and large problems and it turned out to be a very fine film. But a year later it was just an asterisk. Same here?
As I have just heard privately these same sets were first submitted by David Korins for Scandalous: The Life and Trials of Aimee Semple McPherson but Kathie Lee fired him.
I often disagree with the reviews, but unlike Inglorious Basterds this is not a fantasy world I'd care to be in. It would remind me too much of the real one.
I have a friend of a friend who saw it in Atlanta who said it was unusually and surprisingly funny. When told a little about the plot I asked if it was more convoluted than Dear Evan Hansen, She said she'd get back to me. Today she got back to me. She said nothing could be more convoluted than Dear Evan Hansen. It will be a hit!
Carl Denham was a very bad dude. He was directly responsible for countless deaths on Skull Island and New York City. I hope in this version Kong squashes him as he did in the Jessica Lange version. (Great John Barry score there too)
There's a difference between turning your phone off and POWERING it off. Turning the phone off is usually just one push on the top button and the screen goes black, but it's still really on. Powering it off requires steadily holding the top button down for 5 -10 seconds.
Anyone who doubts Spielberg's mastery of his craft should just see Bridge Of Spies. But it would take a book to list the barriers he faces in remaking West Side Story. There's never been a successful remake of a classic motion picture musical and West Side story is as distinctive and classical as they come. Now if he's intending this to be a live TV Special...
I'm intrigued by the quirkiness of the story and the fact that it would attract such a super cast. But I was wondering if this were an actual play or something similar to a table read like Gurney's Love Letters.
If you're writing contemplative fiction about a real life historical figure it should be necessary to leave open the possibility that it might have been true, no matter how far fetched. That doesn't seem to be the case here.
To Greenifmy. But how do you know they wouldn't care why I was leaving? Maybe they'd start crying. Then I'd have to pretend I was having a heart attack. I still don't like it.
So staff will be located at the end of the show to free your phone.and I hope the line won't be too long. ....But what if I wanted to quietly leave before the end of the show because it was, you know, bad? Would I first have to track someone down? And would I feel obliged to explain to why I was leaving? Sorry,I don't want to be put through hoops just to escape from some place. Terrible idea.
If the play had been titled 'Straightening Out Straight White Men" I would have been interested because God knows they need it and the play would also suggest having a beginning, middle and end with resolution. Plus, perhaps, a modicum of wit along the way. But I'll still keep an open mind until the majors come out.
Spacey was literally one of the most celebrated actors in the world, Weinstein was literally one of the most powerful producers in the world. They held a gun to the heads of all their victims by virtue of their ability to destroy their careers and livelihoods if they didn't comply. And in some and probably many cases pulled the trigger on them. What do you mean "If anyone does anything to anyone"? Spacey and Weinstein weren't "anyones". .
