ita, his question was:
That link says the Frankenstein is a rebroadcast of the production from 2011. Does anyone know which of them was playing which role for that one?
which is basically unanswerable, as "that one" is not correct. There were two. Both of the casting configurations were filmed and broadcast from that production. So, saying
showing is only the rebroadcast
is not a meaningful description of what cast to expect. If there is only one showing, then it will be only one configuration, but, unless they also say which cast (which, iirc, was unhelpfully labelled something like A and B), there is no way to tell which it will be.
Which is why I answered:
My theatre is showing both. The ticketing tells me when each is on. They're a month apart dates.
Did I phrase that badly?
Well, chrismg answered like it made sense, so that's my primary objective taken care of. I'm just surprised it's confusing. How can I fix it?
I was actually referring to his question in the post directly before mine.
Ah. I just assumed there was either a one missing from that post, or that it was like the ticketing system that deemed one version primary and one a reverse cast. I wasn't confused, or at least thought chris wasn't.
For what it's worth, my local theater is just showing it once (on Halloween, which seems appropriate) and it described which version it was going to show (Cumberbatch as the Creature, JLM as Frankenstein, which works for me since the version I saw last year was the other one.)
I bought the tickets for the Othello! AM EXCITE!
That's the version my theatre refers to as default, the other is reverse.
I would have bought a ticket by now for Corolianus if I could work out how. Goddamned 1997 needs its websites back.
No, Debet's right. I hadn't realized there were broadcasts of both versions available. Maybe it's hidden on the theatre website somewhere.....
When I said I was going to both it was confusing? I will have to work on that.
ita, when are you going to Frankenstein? I am very interested in going too.
I was grading and watching "Tower Heist." TH is not a good movie. In my opinion, it is only mildly amusing. If not for the fact that I like heist movies and will watch one under just about any excuse, I wouldn't have bothered.
Ben Stiller isn't bad in this movie, but his acting range goes from 0 to 2. Eddie Murphy was an embarrassment to actors and to African Americans. Matthew Broderick must have needed to make a boat payment or something because I do not know why he agreed to do this movie otherwise. Gabourey Sidibe (I have to look her up in imdb each time because I couldn't spell her name to save my life) was not bad, but barely in the film.
I have come to love Tea Leoni, so she can be in any movie all the time.
Not one bit of the movie is at all realistic and the heist events are ridiculous. Like this might as well be science fiction because there just ain't no way any of that could/would actually happen.
