Eddy—-I cannot seem to find the original Puck/ass comment as I am not a good blogger/blog follower or replier (sp?) I tend to post in the most peculiar places….
]]>I love Beauty and the Beast (though I wouldn’t call it a musical) and think “Be Our Guest” is a great number. It makes me miss the late great Jerry Orbach.
]]>Isn’t Hulu.com great?
]]>Thanks for noticing I was gone. Viggo is now promoting The Road. When I get back to L.A., I’ll be going to a screening of it and Viggo will be there to answer questions. I’ll report on it here.
]]>I agree with you (mostly). The way Glee imputs the song is genious almost all the time. Although there’s been some songs with an almost-classic musical feel, they usually are breathtaking performances just like Lea’s Take a Bow or Amber Riley’s Bust Your Windows.
I do have some love for musicals, though. I do get annoyed by that “I’m falling in love-let’s sing a song”, I recognize there are some films which have great songs which actually help the story: “Do-Re-Mi” in The Sound of Music, or are just great: “Be Our Guest” in Beauty and the Beast.
Anyway… Glee started yesterday in Mexico (with some not-so-good subtitling), and I’ve managed to obsess some of my friends with the series as well. They called me asking “You won’t guess what I’m seeing right now”.
Thanks PCN for the CD review!!!
