I love that bit where Maria grabs the pole.... oh, that does sound all sorts of wrong. But she grabs the beam! The beam! She grabs the beam and her face transforms into a wistful, yet peaceful, image of beauty.
Yes! Exactly! Pole dancing!grabbing! What's not lovely about that?
It's fun to think about what happened after the song was over. Oh! Plot bunnies!
Ack! Yes! That would be an awesome moment for a ficlet. And it reminds me of Finding Peace, where the Mother Abbess must not've sang her the song, as she didn't decide to go back...
And I think (preparing to run), Kiera Knightley's completely different portreyal of Lizzie worked for me. But then, we've already had this conversation.
We did. KK's Lizzy cried too much. But she does improve on further acquaintance. And that Darcy is sex on a stick, while CF, though perfect for the role, doesn't do much for me in that sense.
I think that's partly why many of the songs seem like inner monologues,
Yeah, they really need to be, but it still doesn't work for me. The songs don't hit the emotions I associate with the story.
others just drone on forever (Forgiveness
OMG, yes. ugh.
Anyway, the CDs are under way.
Thanks so much!
Did you want the 1998 Broadway revival cast? Rebecca Luker makes a fine Maria, but they pronounce Kurt's name annoyingly different, and the Captain is wussy.
I dunno! I guess not. A wussy Capt is no good!
The guy who played Rochester would have made a good Captain.
I agree! He's not gruff and nasty enough to be Rochester imo, but he has enough of the broody hardness to be the Captain! *feels swoony*
The Lonely Goatherd is in a different spot than any other production I could find, and I rather like it.
I've been meaning to ask you this forever: have you heard that Gwen Stefani song that remixes Lonely Goatherd?! What's weirdest about it is that since i'm always going around singing it, my friend got the idea it should be remixed, and she was trying to convince the band she sort of works for that they should do it. And it's funny because they're a sort of techno electronica-y band, and though they didn't do it, they put the Lonely Goatherd in the background of their podcast. But then Stefani came out with hers! Weird.
BTW, did you see the latest Jane Eyre? If so, what did you think?
NO! I'm still confused about it. Like, I knew it was coming out, but I thought it was playing in England on the BBC first, and wouldn't be aired in the U.S. until later. So for a while I was checking, but then I forgot and never heard anything about it, until a couple weeks ago I was looking at some stuff on Amazon and it had "reccommendations" for me, and one of them was the new JE. So anyway, I'm buying it, even though I have no idea if I'll like it. I own three other versions of JE, anyway. I need to buy the Timothy Dalton one. Did you see the new one? and to repeat your question--if so, what did you think?
