Yes, I would say... whatever that Bach thing was, but I like my things short. I've officially developed a lish--lisp, and until the end of September, I'm going to keep what I say really really short. And I'm also a pro-book fan, but I still do like the Broadway. It makes you want to scream "Why?!" at Christine when she refuses Erik because they look roughly the same age. When he's fifty, well, the reaction is more of, "Yea! Break that creeper's heart! And stab him while he's crawling on the floor too!" Actually, the traveling Phantom production I saw had Erik crawling on the floor towards Christine. I was very happy about that, mostly because you never really see the Leroux in the ALW productions. And the movie wasn't too terrible! Well... okay, the lady who played Christine made me flinch whenever she opened her mouth (and that is hard enough in itself; I'm not one to be critical of other peoples' voices), and Gerard Butler was too much of a studmuffin (XD) to play Erik, but the movie made me bawl! The book makes me cry, but during the movie I'm just bawling, and I'm talking the oh-my-god-is-she-going-to-die kind of bawling, not the waa-so-sad-oooo-look-at-the-funny-mask kind.
I just finished my vacation and read Phantom by Susan Kay. I loved the beginning, but I think it really declined when it hit the interaction between him and Christine. I mean, he just wants her virginity? Wow. You have reached an all-time low, Erik. Congrats. And she didn't even include the scorpian/grasshopper thing! Absolutly bypassed it, just a little scorpian thing with Nadir. And he wanted to rape her? Okay... that's nothing like the book. He was just a creepy old man that wanted her safe. SHE'S NOT SAFE IF YOU RAPE HER, ERIK!
And they (sort of) did have the torture chamber in the 2004 movie. Remember after the "Why so Silent?" song, how the phantom disappears in that collum of smoke and Raoul follows him? The room he falls into, will all the mirrors and the hangman's noose that (later) drops down? That's the recreation of the torture chamber. Terrible, I know, but at least ALW tried to get it in there. And I think I know why they got rid of the Persain: too many questions left unsettled. With Mme Giry, we can get the Phantom's past really easily (he was beaten by gyspies, ran away etc. etc.). With Nadir, we get that whole, "Well, okay, he was with the gysies. But then how does this Persain guy come in? And why does his story contradict with Mme Giry's story?"
Hair? Ugly? Got three words for ya: Load. Of. Bull. I guess we all kinda feel insecure about our looks and tell others that we think they're "ugly" I guess we partly know it's a lie and we partly believe it. But people see other people in a different way. Smile! Show your outer beauty.
Well, you would be owner of the guild, so you would be in charge of how people get admitted and who those people are. You create the rules, start and oversee any events. You basically become God as far as the guild is concerned.
I am posting this in case you don't get the message I sent. Would you, as the only other active member of The Paris Opera House, take over management from me?
