Arantxa Sanz observed that it would be nice if one could live in a musical for just a day. To that i say: be careful what you wish for. in highschool i hung out with a clique of music geeks (we were all jazz nazis and had a music homeform, we told jokes about cors anglais...it was terrible) and some of our number were somewhat flakey and crossed over into the world of drama to get in touch with the flakey side. these people were the music theater people. if more than two of them would happen to meet in one place coincidentally theatrics, singing etc. were sure to ensue. i glared at them, thinking 'fatuous morons! i own cecil taylor albums...you do not! surely i am a genius'. my ex still goes to an arts highschool that has a terrible 'fame' complex. then i discovered the joys of gene kelly and now hes up there with the big three coolest guys in the world david byrne/tony perkins and marc bell.
I already have devised some coreography with 'A summer wasted': it is the beginning of the film, and the main character wonders what he/she ( I think is a 'he'...)has made of the sunny time now that is cold and leaves are falling.Very Minelli.
i think this is brilliant. i'd be in any musical you care to mount. can i play the stephen merrit inspired character? also, i voted for 5 films at that bbc site being: gregory's grill, zardoz, harold and maud, amateur and the holy mountain. i'd like to recomend that if each sinisterite votes for the holy mountain and zardoz on their lists then we can not only give teen drama a boost but also silly, pseudo-psychological gonzo exploitation sci fi a boost as well. skadevento +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
