I changed case to sentence case, ran it through Instapaper and then sent it to evernote. It isn't perfect but it has many paragraphs and is readable.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
when ACT did Urinetown and Phantom
Wow, I'm not sure I can think of two more dissimilar musicals.
Wait till they bring out the mashup, Phantom Urine.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
That craven toilet maven....of the niiiiiiiiiiight
I think most people *on* Broadway at the time had respect for the mega-spectacles because they knew how much damn work the people in them were doing. Even if you hate everything about the music in Cats, it was impossible to say the people who created it onstage every night weren't incredibly talented and working their butts off.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Sure you can! Assassins and South Pacific! Secret Garden and Debbie Does Dallas!
I grew up immersed in traditional musical theatre, so any disdain I expressed for the art form was always a sort of rebellion.

Because books.
I don't get why musical theater is considered lesser. I grew listening to all of my mom's albums -- stuff like Jesus Christ Superstar and Oliver! and Brigadoon and My Fair Lady and The King and I -- and I love it. I hate snobbery.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I can't decide between Zero Dark Thirty and Silver Linings Playbook to see today. Zero Dark Thirty is in the big fabulous theater, but I'm not sure I'm in the mood.
What to do??

when ACT did Urinetown and Phantom
And this morning I realize I mis-spoke (typed?). It was Urinetown and Sweeney Todd. Though if Phantom ever played on the ACT stage, I'm sure my dad would be a fan.
I'm currently listening to the Broadway cast recording of Les Mis AIFG.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
LeN, you've got the Hulk article in there twice. Search on "is gordon willis" to find the second beginning.
It's an interesting piece, and it's somewhat amusing that the way in which he (?) is presenting it is getting in the way of some people from connecting with the content. Some might even call it irony.
