Pointless Musings

Yeah, just like the title suggests. And besides, there are certain people that count on me for their day's entertainment :P

1.) Phantom of the Opera: I've noticed a good portion of my friendslist has been wibbling over the movie. People, I sure as fuck hope you know that PotO has been around a long time, and like this is NOT a new phenom :P I'm sorry, but I can't get excited over something that's missing two key elements; Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman. 'Nuff said.

2.) The asshats across the street whose Christmas tree is still visible from the window: Take the fucker down, you lazy sons o' bitches. It's bad enough it's stilll up, but to plug the sucker in?

3.) Kittens that prefer empty toilet paper rolls over 'real' toys: I could make a real killing marketing this :P

4.) On hating the snow and cold: I live in Michigan and I H-A-T-E both. I'm up there in smarts with the dumbshit 'I'm going to leave the Christmas decorations up all year' neighbors :P

5.) On laughing at the idjits smoking out in the freezing cold: *dons nametag* Hello! I'm now one of those fucking idjits! Ah, irony.

More later,

--P

Regarding Phantom, I've been a rabid fangirl for 10 years now and Sarah Brightman still leaves me cold. I've only heard one person who did Christine justice and she was a minor actress in the UK tour. She was incredible and gorgeous to boot (plus, I saw her play Fantine in Les Mis and melted and wailed over her).

But oh, the film is pretty even if some of the orchestrations are dubious. To me, during the Phantom of the Opera song, it sounds like there's some mad banjo player on crack strumming away.

I never knew so many people despised Sarah Brightman. Wow -- I'm actually shocked.

I don't necessarily despise her, but I just can't stand her voice. It seems to lack in expression and is so very shrill and piercing. She's definitely improved since then, though, and her albums aren't bad, but no. She's not my Christine.
