'Morning/Afternoon, all. Just came back from walking and it is again overcast and coolish in the City of Studio. By the afternoon it will probably be hot -- that's what happened yesterday.
I think I'm channeling Al Roker. Must stop at once!
Since you have Disney channel connections, DR Panni, I guess you already know that Roker self-satirizes on The Proud Family, voicing a character named Al Roker who is, if not the devil himself, then certainly Mephistopheles incarnate, continually trying to forge Faustian deals.  Whood'a thunk!

Quote from: Noel on August 01, 2004, 07:37:57 AM
Eurotrash, n.
A large musical usually by at least one European writer, from the last 20 years with some or all of the following characteristics:

1. Little or no dialogue
2. Plot concerns something unusally tragic or sad
3. Anachronistic music, that rocks on with little or no feeling for time and place
4. Cliche lyrics, usually with dull rhyme schemes and false rhymes
5. Self-pity
6. Bad taste
7. Little or no humor or wit
8. Absence of subtext.  Characters tell you exactly how they feel (often self-pity) leaving the audience nothing to do or discover
As I've never encountered the word "Eurotrash" used with such a definition before, I can only comment: Bull**i*.

Eurotrash is more generally a pop phenomenon, referring to a group of people with a certain sense of style.  Or lack of same.  Limiting the def to a derogation of a style of musical is just plain silly.

For myself, the musical I cannot abide is Camelot.  It over-simplifies a novel that probably cannot be condensed into a musical (T. H. White's The Once and Future King is actually four books, five if you include the posthumously published The Book of Merlin).  And White is quite specific: Lancelot is a very ugly man.  On stage, we continually get this glamourpuss.  Totally wrong.

This is a case of encountering the source material after encoutnering the musical.  I knew there was something I thought wrong about the show early on.  It took reading the novel to discover why.

Add to our list of country songs: I'm rather taken with Reba McEntire's "Fancy."  A story song about a girl who goes wrong to get her life right, it would fit right in on stage as a female lead's establishing song.

A very busy day at work today.  It's been raining, so the tourists went shopping, rather than sunning at the beach.  That's a good thing.

What wasn't a good thing was the computers acting up.  Poor Bonnie, who was in charge today, was having to deal with the computer people via the phones, while Tracy and I dealt with the customers with just one cash register working.  Busy, busy, busy!

In it's own way, a satisfying day, but my feet are very tired.   :P

Panni, how are you copying the URL?

I usually send the URL to "favorite places," then hit the edit on the Favorite Places and copy directly from there.  I've never had a problem with creating a hyperlink that way.

For the first time I sent out multiple mailings. :)  Every time I tried to send I received a message saying my outbox was full and to delete something.  :-\ I would delete a few more and try sending again.  Finally my email went and now I see the same message has been sent multiple times. :-[

I just responded to your message, Jane.

Is anyone chatting?  I was just there, but NO ONE else was there.  Sad to be all alone in the chat room (almost a "Thoroughly Modern Millie" reference!)

I left chat for a bit ::)and just got back.  Sorry I took so long.

Glad the link helped, Panni!  And it's a well written review. :D I can't remember the last time a review specifically mentioned the script writer(s).

The best thing about the review (other than the fact that he likes the film) is that he doesn't give away the plot. That's rare these days, even among the "top" critics.
