Mood: crushed out
Now Playing: Phantom of the Opera
Oh God. I saw the Joel Schumacher/Andrew Lloyd Webber movie version of Phantom. I wept. I wept officially three times...then I went to go see it again. Yep. I'm buying that movie. I already bought the soundtrack/book...ironically when I snagged the last copy of the Moulin Rouge two disc boxed set. Am I the only one that is schmaltzy??? I loved Phantom on stage. I love it still now. Relationships come and go...but Phantom remains. I waxed major nostalgia. I thought of people I haven't seen in years...wondered how they were...where their lives have led. stuff like that. I loved the film. I remember when I saw the Stage version with Michael Crawford. I remember seeing Sarah Brightman perform the first time I saw it. I remember the second time I went, I think it was to be Michael Crawfords last performance. It was breathtaking. Schumacher and Webber could be the next Rodgers and Hammerstein for films. If you love angst, this is the flick for you. Afterwords grab your bottle of Merlot, go home and watch Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame. Then walk up and down the streets in the rain singing Ewan Macgregors version of 'Come What May'. Hey! I am the queen of angst!!! If I didn't have to work,I would turn a Hearse into a traveling mini bar serving Absinthe Jello Shots to the masses! Actually Absinthe is too licorishy...give me Chambord Jello Shots anyday.
