Just on a point of principle, I prefer not to do anything that will result in Andrew Lloyd Webber getting money.

Ah, yes. Vagina dentata set to doo-wop music. What could better symbolize the masculine insecurities of Cold War militarism (rampant at the time of the original) and its resurgence under Reagan (at the time of the musical remake) than a huge, toothy Georgia O'Keeffe painting come to life. Corman knew exactly what he was doing: The original working title was The Passionate People Eater. I would have titled it The Cunt that Ate Brooklyn.

Every culture has its campfire tales of coochies that bite off men's weewees, and the more macho the culture, the more fearful the imagery. In Malekula, the boy's club who overthrew the matriarchy were subsequently haunted by a "yonic spirit" (pussy ghost) called "that which draws us to It so that It may devour us." Seymour called his version "Audrey II." After his girlfriend. Call that a coincidence if you will, but if you're Rick Moranis, and you're courting Ellen Greene, the fear is rational.

What others say about boorite!

Incidentally, my title for The Rocky Horror Picture Show would have been Gay Frankenstein. There's a reason I don't work in the movie business. I have it written down somewhere.

I know people who feel the same way about musicals. There is a point when you have to sit back and say...why did they just burst into song?

But looking past that to the writers of THE GOOD ONES and the actors that portray certain parts without flaw helps some people understand why they are there. Despite anyones personal opinion, musicals are an art form and as long as there are actors and singers out there, they will remain as such.

I, for one, love the theatre. Not just musicals, but dramas, comedies, etc. There are things in live performance that you just don't get from film and television (I like both of those too however).

I saw Cats at the Wintergarden on Braodway back in... I dunno... 1980 something. It was a bit off the wall, but the production values were brilliant and I gotta tell ya, when Grizabella went into "Memories", (a substitute Grizabella, I might add, who kicked the living shit out of that song), there wasn't a dry eye in the house. Theatre can move you unlike film because you're smack in the middle of it. It's hard to get arsed up over things on film because it's a cooler medium. (Thank you Marshall McLuhan). Except for, like, Pink Floyd's "The Wall" which still rips my heart out every time.

I wanted my half in the middle and I wound up on the edge.

I get into movies enough to cry.

I'm a big fucking crybaby.

I cried while watching "Proof of Life".

That's only because of Russel Crowe though.

yeah, the wall really can get you. It is so deep yet so off the wall it is emotion grabbing.

I am a big crybaby. I have even cried reading books. TV, movies, and theatre face no challenge in that regard.

I cry reading books, too... especially last night reading the Principles of Insurance: Life, Health and Annuities book, knowing I'm going to flunk my test today. :/

Music and movies make me cry, too. Big made me cry, and Schindler's List nearly killed me. Lots and lots of movies make me cry. Strangely, What Lies Beneath made me laugh, and it had the same effect on my wife. And most comedies piss me off.

You know what's supposed to make me cry but doesn't? Whenever the writer has scripted himself into a corner and is all out of ideas and so he gives a character cancer or a heart attack or makes one attempt suicide. One of the characters, I mean. Not the viewer, although many movies can do that also. Anyway, it really pisses me off. It ruined My First Mister for me, and Space Cowboys (which is like ruining a baloney sandwich), and it could only half-ruin The Royal Tenenbaums, thanks to Gene Hackman, who was in another movie (Class Action) where his wife has an unnecessary fatal heart attack that greatly annoyed me. More examples abound.

If you can't create dramatic tension without putting tubes up a character's nose, then give up writing.

I've slogged (or failed to slog) through many a dull text "because I had to." It sucked. I hope you pass your test.

(Wait a minute-- LadyJ is going into the insurance biz?)

Are you going to insure idiots against severe beatings? You could charge a mint!

Selling Stupidity Insurance I by Spankling 9-26-02

The coverage is complete, Mr. _m7. Any act of stupidity on your part that results in bodily harm to you will be covered. That's crazy! I don't need no stinking coverage! If someone Fucks with my I'll just hack their site! Can I see that policy again? Too late. I've decided you're too great a risk.

Selling Stupidity Insurance II by Spankling 9-26-02

Okay - you convinced me. I'll pay the high premium for minimal coverage. Just sell me the policy! Sign here.... and here... and initial next to the devil's head... And we're done! HA! Now you can't trash me bitch, or your company will have to pay! UP YOURS! ... but I thought ... Here's your payout. And by the way, your premium just went up, a-hole.
