Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

WHAT. Please, please tell me you are joking, and that such a show doesn't really exist. Please.

Sorry. Can't. I saw the commercials when I was visiting my parents, since they get the NYC TV stations. Songs from Journey, Poison, Kansas, and a bunch of others, all put together into something with some semblence of a plot. It's horrifying.

I spent most of the Tonys watching the musical numbers and thinking, "Revival. Revival. Based on a movie. Revival. Based on 20-year-old metal music. Revival. Ooh, new musical [Next to Normal]!! Based on a movie. Revival..."

Yeah, I don't get to see too many Broadway shows now, maybe two a year. My basic rules for picking which ones to see (if it's my choice -- sometimes, someone else in the family chooses) is that, if there's anything Sondheim playing, that's first, and I will not see shows which are based on pop music. So no Jersey Boys, Moving Out, Nine to Five, Rock of Ages, or Mamma Mia. I loved the movie of Mamma Mia, but if I've only got limited Broadway musical time, I want to see something that was written for Broadway.

Oddly enough, one of my favorite shows of the past few years was The Drowsy Chaperone, which I only saw because I was sent to TKTS with cash and instructions to get tickets for something that wasn't depressing, and all the other options that day were either potentially depressing or were revivals of things I'd seen a million times.

Thanks to Joel McHale, whom I love, you wouldn't believe all the rude Rock of Love comments cycling through my head right now, AIFG.

This is interesting--the CBC looks at a new thing called "the internet" in 1993.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

What? Crap! I thought someone was going to fucking HELP them!
