I saw this set of plays put on by the University. Their author won a Noble Prize for literature (which apparently doesn't happen all that often) and I assumed they would be stellar!(I always try to have a positive outlook though it often comes out the other way)
Well the second in the set was utterly incomprehensible to me. I thought that this may be due to a lack on intelligence or some knowlage to which I was not privy but those exiting the theatre (those that attended by choice. . . .culture by force!. . . ) also were voicing the same questions I was entertaining in my own mind like: "I'm not sure I understood the scene where the silent man beat the blind man to death. . ." "Was that her husband or her father?" Or really to sum it all up: "what the hell?!" Anywho, my drama "teacher" inquired as to what our impressions of these play was. I asked for a little illumination, unfortunately she answered that this particuar playwrite "planted a seed and then let it grow". . . .kkkkkkeeeeeeeyyyyyy.
I am listening to "Hey Big Spender" right now and I imagine that that would be a very entertaining role to play. . . my dream role is of course in "Rocky Horror Picture Show" or what has been deemed the new RHPS, "Reefer Madness" but that's just me.

Have you ever gone to the Midnight showing of the RHPS? I went when I was in college with the guy I was crushing on hardcore...people were dressed up all around and when the scientist said "Great Scott!" everyone threw toilet paper at the screen. They pulled me up before the show because I was a RHPS virgin (and they made all sorts of crude comments), and when Susan Sarandon and her bf were driving in the rain, everyone yelled "Slut! Asshole! Slut...etc" in accordance with where the windshield wipers were pointing. It was pretty entertaining. I now know how to do the Time warp!
"Keeeeeeeey."
Ah hahaha, that cracks me up.
Did you see that Family Guy episode where Peter brings Diane from the news in to play the lead in his "revised" version of The King and I? And somebody asks her if she's ever acted before and she goes, "Well...I did do an independent film in college." Cut to black and white movie titled "Lint" with seudo-French music playing in the background. Diane is sitting on a table looking distraut. A clown flips a pancake, then licks Diane. She cries. Fin.
Ah hahahahaha. Grad-students are ridiculous. Can't wait until we get there.
Well, I havent been to a midnight showing but I did go when The university here put it on. We got these little baggies with all the necessary props (including a skript saying when we should shout things) also a squirt gun (for rain I think) newspaper (to protect from the rain) and many other odd things I cannot remember. This guy who was dressed sort of half goat like welcomed me and asked if I'd ever been before when I said no his response was "ahhh a vir-gin. . ." so I had a simular experiance. The play was basically the most awsome thing I have ever seen and I must admit the goat guy was oddly attractive (not because he was a goat mind you.) Doing the time warp is a skill everyone should have (it just a little jump to the left)
I am glad that I make you laugh lurgee (what the heck does that mean by the by) I vaugely (sp?) think i did see that! holy gosh is that show amusing. I am pretty sure we should make some faux french nuevou movies in grad school (sans the licking) Well junior year some friends and I did make a short black and white of a scene in Great Gatsby which featured the clock falling from the mantle over an over agin (not on purpose you know but the poor editing -lack- make it very much college film or psuedo meaningful drivle.
