So right now, A.C.T (American Conservatory Theater) is doing a production of the play Travesties by Tom Stoppard. I went to see it, it was fantastic. *happy*
Anyway, the other day on the radio, we hear the DJ announcing news stuff and he actually says: "A.C.T presents TRANSVESTITES through October 7th..."
Me and my familt laughed oh so hard.

I really love "The Real Inspector Hound" and attempted to do it a few years ago, but it requires a lot of staging to make it truly funny, and no one was willing to commit enough. I really want to see more of his work, though. I should rent "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead," I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

And I've seen the beginning of that movie. Pretty good.

I remember watching this one episode of Whose Line Is It Anyway? that brings to mind a sort-of similar story...
So Colin and Ryan are doing the Infomercial game where they have to use a box of random props to sell a product suggested by the audience. So the audience suggests something to get rid of cellulite. The game commences, and at first, everything runs fairly smoothly, until Ryan tries to say "cellulite" and ends up saying "celluloid" (a type of film). He doesn't even notice and Drew has to point it out to him. So they continue, and it happens again! No matter how many times he tries to say cellulite, he ends up getting it wrong, eventually to the point where Colin just says it for him!
Yeah, I thought that was pretty funny.

Ummmm you *might* be thinking of the Jet Li movie "Romeo Must Die," or possibly the more recent "John Tucker Must Die," but I'm fairly certain it's "are Dead." Of course, I answered this almost 1 month later. Go me. On another note, I saw "On The Razzle" the other day. Anyone who likes puns and/or farce, see it. It's hilarious. Except for the whole most people in an audience don't get puns, so you're the only one laughing thing.

Well, I only saw the first 30 minutes of the movie, after staying up well past my limit after drink a bottle of Bawls energy drink. That stuff tastes like Jucy Fruit, and works better than hard black coffe.

STOPPARD! I LOVE Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. I really think the dead in a box monologe is one of the best monologes in all of theatredome.
And yeah, it's "are dead". We just read it in English class =D

I still can't believe that our directro thinks that Stoppard is more incomprehensible than Beckett. R&G and Godot are stunningly similar, but when you're silent for eight hours and then say something like "And the ac-cac-cac-cadamey" you know that something is incomprehensible. And it ain't Stoppard. But whatever.
Ms. Hale can go burn all the incense she wants.
Nauder and I are gonna go worship James Joyce and Ionesco above those other two losers.
