DRELMORE - you work in the theatre and know these people, I only know what I see. If I say anything that is mean, I don't malign them personally.
I've seen actresses, like Cher, bomb out onstage in COME BACK TO THE FIVE AND DIME, JIMMY DEAN because their film career is made of cutting and pasting moments on celluloid, DRJRand54. I applaud her decision to try the stage, but I thought she stank. I love her in films.
I have no urge to work in films except to possibly orchestra a film score, and I have no urge to work and live in Los Angeles. I've always been a Broadway baby. I love knocking the Oscars because I find the producers' mentality so horrifyingly tacky. I believe, perhaps wrongly, that my Broadway colleagues have better taste, but it's why I moved east and not west from Ohio.
Yes, I have a lot of friends involved with PIAZZA, DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS. LA CAGE AUX FOLLES. and more. I wish all my friends in the theatre (and film) well, and I don't understand a lot of the cattiness, although I can certainly be catty: what is that dreadful accent Ms Peters is doing? Channeling Madonna?
