Jerry Springer: The Opera: In Concert at Carnegie Hall

I have seen the English DVD of "Jerry Springer The Opera." And I have listened to the Cast Recording, various times. I love this show. Like, A LOT.

So, when I heard I was going to see it at Carnegie Hall, i was ecstatic!!

Was the show good?
Of course.

David Bedella, as the Warm-Up Man/Satan, was the best in the cast, and it was an amazing cast!!


But Harvey Keitel, as Jerry Springer?
Not so much.

He wasn't as good as preceding Jerrys, and he seemed to just non-nonchalantly stroll through the show, not really adding anything to it.

Shwatever, good show overall.

Hopefully it will transfer to B'Way, with a different leading man.

Oh, and there were PROTESTERS!!!

My Analysis of The Academy Awards Nominations: Best Supporting Actress

This should go to Cate Blanchett, so yeah.

-Tomorrow night, is an exciting night, for it is Jerry Springer: The Opera, at Carnegie Hall!!!

Full Report Tomorrow....

The SAG Awards

In case anyone is interested, The Screen Actors Guild Awards, or The Saggies, are on TBS right now.

No film awards announced yet.

Let's watch...

My Analysis of The Academy Awards Nominations: Best Supporting Actor

Now, everyone knows that this should go to the fabulous Javier Bardem, for his chilling performance as Anton Chigurh in "No Country For Old Men." But you never know. Maybe Casey Affleck will get it, or even P.S.H.

We'll see, but the lead is Javier.

-America, not to be mean, but you're pretty retarded.

Jason Friedberg, and Aaron Seltzer. You better somehow find this blog, because I'm talking to you directly now...

What the F**k is wrong with you?!?!?!

"Scary Movie" is ok. "Date Movie" and "Epic Movie" were horrible. Why in God's name would you make "Meet The Spartans??"
Your target audience for this film is mentally challenged people. I've seen the commercials. I can see what your crap style of comedy is. You have a bad Sylvester Stallone impressionist, who says the line "Say hello to my little friend," from the Al Pacino movie, "Scarface." And I thought to myself when I first saw that commercial, "Oh they better not bring out a midget to be his 'little friend'." And guess what? YOU DID!

And although for some retarded reason, it's the number one movie at the box office this weekend, in my opinion, movies should not be made for money. Sure, it's great to make money, but you need an artistic vision for a film that you believe in, not just a piece of crap that you think will appeal to every idiot in the country. Go see the movie "Ed Wood," and you'll know what I'm talking about.

Here are my last words of advice: if you want to make a movie, make sure that it is good, comedy wise, and that it doesn't cost less than $20.

My Analysis of The Academy Awards Nominations: Best Actress

First off, I'm very happy for Laura Linney's surprise nomination for "The Savages." But unfortunately, she isn't going to win.

The race is between Julie Christie, Marion Cottilard, and Ellen Page.

Now, I really, REALLY, want Ellen to win. She was so good in "Juno," and I think it would be awesome if she got the award. Christie and Cottilard are the two actresses who everyone thinks is going to win.

I haven't seen either of their performance, but for me, it's gotta be Page.

-This Tuesday, Jerry Springer: The Opera!!!!!

Full Report Tuesday night.

My Analysis of The Academy Awards Nominations: Best Actor

Well, as everyone knows, the big surprise nomination was Tommy Lee Jones, in "In the Valley of Elah."

It doesn't really matter, because the man who is winning the award is..

<-----

<----- THIS GUY!!!!!

<-----




Yes, I saw "There Will Be Blood," and it is everything that a good film should be. Awesome.
Daniel Day-Lewis is just Amazing, with a capital A! the whole look, and feel of this movie is fantastic. And, the score, is just amazing. And it's written by Johnny Greenwood, from Radiohead.

Listen, if you want to see a movie that is made perfectly, and has amazing performances, see this now!!!

-Oh, and..

DON'T YOU F**KIN DARE SEE "MEET THE SPARTANS!!!"

Just putting that out there.

My Analysis of The Academy Awards Nominations: A Ten Part Series.

So, England was awesome!!

Now, I'm back in the states, and a whole lot of (expletive deleted) is going on.

Heath Ledger, the unending writer's strike, and of course, the Oscars.

In my opinion, 2007 was one of the best years for film in my lifespan as of now. If I were to make a Top 10 list, it would be impossible, because there were soo many equally awesome films.

I am perfectly satisfied with the nominations, kinda. There will be ten continuing posts which will each discuss an aspect of the nominations.

Pay attention in the back! That means you, Billy...

BEST PICTURE

For those of you who don't know, the nominees are

ATONEMENT
JUNO
MICHAEL CLAYTON
NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN
THERE WILL BE BLOOD

Now, I'm seeing "Blood" on Saturday night, and hopefully "Clayton" will come to DVD or something before the Oscars.

"Juno" rocks, as does "No Country."


Now, everyone was wondering what the fifth spot was going to. It went to "Atonement." And, Ta-Da! I finally saw it on the plane ride back to the States, and let me tell you, there were far more deserving films that could've taken that coveted fifth spot.

I'm not saying it's a bad film. Of course not. The beginning was quite interesting, but the middle hour, that focused on the war, was very, and I mean, VERY, boring. Not interesting at all.

But there was hope, yes, hope indeed. For when there was just 20 minutes left, Vanessa Redgrave appears as "Old" Briony, and the film created an ending that blew me away, with tremendous performances, and twists coming from every corner. Yes, so depressingly amazing, that it saved this film from entering the same category that contains "American Gangster," that category being, "Most Overrated Film of 2007."

But even with this ending, this film does not deserve to take this spot. There were far more deserving films, such as...

SWEENEY TODD
THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY
INTO THE WILD
BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOW YOU'RE DEAD
THE DARJEELING LIMITED

Yes, that's only five, but still.
And yes, while the film is brilliant, technical-wise, and has an amazing score, in my opinion, it will be a great injustice if it wins Best Picture.

I'll give the full report on "Blood" on Saturday night.

Hola, amigos!

Heath Ledger, 28, Found Dead in Apartment.

This is very sad news.

He was a wonderful actor, and I'm sure his performance as The Joker in "The Dark Knight" this summer will be amazing.

Rest in Peace, young one.

Oscar Nominations!!!!

Here you are good sirs.

Merrily We Roll Along: John Doyle Watermill Production!!

I had the honour of meeting John Doyle, the Tony-Winning Director of Sweeney Todd, and of tonight's show, Merrily We Roll Along.

To put it lightly, it Freakin' Rocked!!!

All of the performers were outstanding, with the actor playing Frank as a standout.

For the record, John Doyle is an awesome director. And I'm not just saying that because I met him, but because it's true. He is so innovative, and I always find his staging to be so dark, in a good way, if that makes sense, which it should. And the whole "actors as the orchestra" thing is quite awesome.

I advise anyone in England to see this production as soon as possible, cus' it's amazing!!!!

Oscar Predictions!!!

Yes, I know that's a picture of Oskar Kokoshka, but still, that's a cool Oscar, and so are these Oscars, as in, the Academy Awards, which will be announced in two days, the nominations I mean. Here are my predictions for the nominees....

BEST PICTURE

So, "No Country" has a nomination in the bag, but there is some confusion over what will be the other 4 nominees. Some people are in favor of "Michael Clayton" and "Into the Wild." However, I am in favor of "Diving Bell" and "Atonement." As for the other two spots, they're gonna go to "There Will Be Blood," and my personal favorite, "Sweeney Todd."

BEST DIRECTOR

This is also a very competitive category. In my opinion, two of the spots are already held by The Coen Bros., and Julian Schnabel. As for the other three, let's say, Paul T. Anderson, Sidney Lumet, and Tim Burton.

BEST ACTOR

Well, of course Mr D.D-Lewis has a spot, as does, in my opinion, Johnny Depp. the other three spots will go/should go to, George Clooney, Viggo Mortensen, and Emile Hirsch.

BEST ACTRESS

As with the previous category, there is another person who has a definite spot, in this case, Julie Christie. And I do believe the Academy will include young actress Ellen Page as well. Golden Globe winner Marion Cottilard will probably also get a nod, with the 4th spot going to Angelina Jolie. And just for fun, let's put Helena Bonham Carter in the mix.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR

Why must every category have an obvious candidate? I'm talking to you, Javier Bardem. Rounding out this category is Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Tom Wilkinson, Hal Holbrook, and Paul Dano.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS

Now come one Academy, you know you can't reject a female Bob Dylan, aka Cate Blanchett. Or a bitchy 12 year old girl, aka Saiorse Ronan. The other three spaces, Amy Ryan, Tilda Swinton, and (sure why not?) Marisa Tomei.

This Tuesday, be prepared, for the nominations that will

BLOW

YOUR

FACE

AWAY!!!!!

"Blood" and Milkshakes

So, I really want to see "There Will Be Blood," and it's being called one of the best films of the year, but this clip is kinda disturbing me, quite a lot.

[This clip, right here.]

Now, I'm gonna see it, but could someone please explain to me the context, because I'm, I'm just bamboozled by the whole thing.

-An Englishman in England: Update!!!

Things are going swell in the U.K. Two more days until "Merrily."

The excitements await!

Oscars are "on!"

According to Variety, the Oscars will be occuring this year, one way or another.

Oh, happy day!!

Shrek The Musical officially coming to B'Way Fall 2008

Should I cry now, or cry later?

Why must every good/moderately ok movie, be turned into, what is usually, a bad musical?


So, I just got back from the Terracotta Soldiers exhibit at the British Museum, and it was rocking!

And, um, yeah. Later

An Englishman in England: Day 1..

Well, it's quarter to 6 am in NY, but on the other side of the pond, it's good ol' quarter to 11 am.

So, I just got to England, along with my colleague, Sam Habafriar, and the flat we're staying in is pretty nice.
On the plane, I watched the last 30 minutes of "Eastern Promises," which was just enough to see that Viggo Mortensen is awesome.

I also watched "Run Fatboy Run," which was pretty awesome as well.

More news from Great Britain, later on..

Cheerio!

The Lives Of Other: An Essay about Injustice.

So, The BAFTA Nominations were announced, which are like, the British Oscars. So, Sweeney essentially got shut out, but shwatever.

Now, here are the nominees for Best Picture..

AMERICAN GANGSTER
ATONEMENT
THE LIVES OF OTHERS
NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN
THERE WILL BE BLOOD

Now, first off, American Gangster has no business being there. It's not a good film, and I hope the Academy does not recognize it, at least not in this category.

Now we get to the real business. The Lives of Others. This film has been nothing but trouble ever since it was released. In my opinion, it was Pan's Labyrinth. And now, it's nominated for Best Picture here, AND Best Film in a Foreign Language. What is this, the Critic's Choice Awards???

And, Ulrich Mohe, from said film, is nominated for Best Leading Actor, basically stealing Johnny Depp's spot.

Apparently, the film came out in Germany March 23, 2006. Therefore, it won the Oscar for Best Foreign Film. I'm assuming that the deadline for the film is for it's release in the home country, not in the U.S.

It was released in America February 9, 2007. It is not eligible for the Oscars this year, yet it is still on people's Top Films of the Year lists. It's true.

It was released in England April 11 2007. If the same rules apply for foreign films for the Oscars, why not the BAFTA'S? I'm not against foreign films being nominated for Best Picture. Hell, I think "The Diving Bell and The Butterfly" should be nominated this year. But this film came out two years ago. There is no reason for this nomination, which could've gone to a better film, like Diving Bell, or Sweeney.

B'Way News!

Will Ferrell might be bringing a "Fame Becomes Me"-esque, one-man show to Broadway. While some people think that he is just really stupid, I think that's why Will is so funny. He's so amazing at playing stupid characters, like Ron Burgundy, and Mugatu. So, I will be very excited for this.

-The Grey Gardens composers are writing "Finding Neverland: The Musical." Yay?

-I'm sure some of you/none of you, have been wondering, "Hey Drowsy Kaye, you seem to be some weirdo theatre fan, who doesn't like the "classics," like Rent, and Wicked. What, for you, makes a good musical/show?"

Good question, myself.

I will be in England for the next week, but when I return...

"Cracka-Slam, into a Matrix: A Musical Retrospective"

by The Drowsy Kaye.

Nicities.

Rent is Closing June 1

I guess this is sad news for most, so I won't say anything mean.

An Englishman in England: A One Week Epic..

Tomorrow evening, the 16th, I will be going on an important trip to my homeland of Great Britain. I will be traveling with my fellow CFA Committee member, and fellow entertainment-man, Sam Habafriar.

During this epic week, we will report on the Oscar Nominations, being announced on Tuesday 22nd. We will also report on the new John Doyle production of the Stephen Sondheim musical, "Merrily We Roll Along," which employs the whole "actors playing instruments thing." More details will be supplied throughout the week.

- The hilarious comedy group DERRICK Comedy is, according to their website, making a feature length film! This should be awesome.

Family Guy: How Low Can You Go? Very, Apparently...

Ahh, Family Guy, the once good show has fallen so far from it's absurdingly hilarious roots. But now, due to horrible animation, bad story structure, and terrible dialogue, Family Guy has become one of the worst shows on television.

Now usually, I wouldn't just rant about Family Guy on the blogosphere, but last night's episode went too far.

In the episode, titled "McStroke," Peter grows a mustache (because he saw it in a magazine????) and then witnesses the local Burger restaurant on fire. The firemen get him to try and save the fire (because he has a mustache?????) and he saves the owner of the restaurant, at the loss of his mustache. (which he doesn't think can grow back?????) Because of this, he gets unlimited hamburgers, and after eating thirty of them, has a stroke.

Now, here, my friends, is where the episode takes a turn for the worst. And i mean THE WORST. So, Peter is now paralyzed on the left side of his body, and the beautiful animation (that is sarcasm) depicts him in the most grotesque way. Not saying that he should look like Prince Charming, but it still looked horrible.

Also, after recently seeing "Diving Bell," I have seen what it is like to be in that sort of condition. And I know, Peter's "condition" wasn't as extreme as the case in the movie, but still, bad taste.

Then they go on to show Peter in "humorous" situations due to his condition, examples include, Peter trying to drink beer, and it pouring out of his paralyzed mouth, and Peter trying to drive, and his dead arm being caught in the door.

Now come on Family Guy. Have you sunk so far that you can't even stay in good taste?

If you want to make fun of something, make sure it's in good taste, and it's actually FUNNY!

Thank you, and kablah.

Movie Awards Ceremony 2: Electric Boogaloo!!

GOLDEN GLOBE PREDICTIONS:

BEST ANIMATED FILM: Ratatouille, no doubt about it.

BEST FOREIGN FILM: The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, once again, no doubt about it.

BEST ORIGINAL SCORE: I probably won't be right, but I just think that Howard Shore is cool, so yeah, him.

BEST ORIGINAL SONG: I just like "Walk Hard," so whatever.

BEST SCREENPLAY: My votes for Diablo Cody. What's in your wallet?

BEST DIRECTOR: I would say Tim Burton, but unfortunately, I don't control the universe, so, Julian Schnabel.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: Now come on people, female Bob Dylan all the way!

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR: Is this even a question anymore?

BEST ACTRESS- COMEDY: For the love of G-d, can we do the Ellen Page Dance or not?!?!?!?!

BEST ACTRESS-DRAMA: Fine, give it to Julie Christie, as if I care...

BEST ACTOR: Daniel Day-Lewis

BEST PICTURE-DRAMA: Okay, time to release my anger...

WHY THE HELL ARE THERE SVEN NOMINEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I'm fine, I'm fine.

Ok.

"No Country," or "There Will Be Blood."

Next time, on The Wacky Circumference, the winners!!

B'way Update!

I know that we're in the midst of film awards season, but I kinda feel bad that I haven't done any major recent posts about theatre, and B'way. So, for your reading pleasure, I present a look at the shows coming to Broadway in the current 07-08 season;

THE 39 STEPS: I hear it's some humorous adaptation of the famous Alfred Hitchcock film. Unless I'm really bored one day, you won't catch me there.







NOVEMBER: I love David Mamet. I love Nathan Lane. Count me in fro this new presidential comedic play!






COME BACK, LITTLE SHEBA: Yeah, it's the whole, "not such a fan of plays unless they sound really good, or if they look really funny" thing, that's stopping me from seeing this.





SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE: The first Broadway revival of the Pulitzer-Prize winning Stephen Sondheim musical, from the Olivier-Award winning London production. Awesomeness at it's finest.





PASSING STRANGE: An Off-Broadway musical transfer, about the story of a musician. Well, it was written by, and starring, a guy named Stew, and it received critical acclaim Off-Broadway, so, what the hell, I'm ready for something new, ain't you?




CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF: A revival of the classic Tennessee Williams play. And it just happens to have a bunch of famous African-American Actors in it. Maybe....





IN THE HEIGHTS: Another Off'-B'way transfer, this one about Latino's, or something along those lines. I'll probably end up seeing it.






GYPSY: The new revival of the classic American Musical, based on the recent City Center Encores! Production, with Ultra-Diva, Patti LuPone. I'm gonna see it, but I don't really like the poster. It's all, bleh.





SOUTH PACIFIC: As some of you don't know, I find Rogers & Hammerstein to be a tad overrated. So, I won't be attending this Pulitzer-Prize winning musical.





A CATERED AFFAIR: A new musical from composer John Bucchino, based on the '50s film, with a book by, and starring, Harvey Fierstein, this looks like the big dramatic hit of the season.




and, Thurgood, a play with Lawrence Fishburne.

That's it for now, later skaters.

The Little Mermaid Opens Tonight.

Get ready people, we got a live one here
So, from what I've heard, it's not supposed to be good, design-wise. The only reason I would go would be to see Heidi Blickenstaff, of [title of show] fame.

Mega-Ultra-Super-Hyper Post Galore!!!!

Shit, there are so many things that I must say, starting......NOW!!!

The Golden Globes have magically transformed into a news broadcast.

CRITICS CHOICE AWARD WINNERS:

BEST DOCUMENTARY- Good for you Michael Moore, you big sack of crap. Now run along, and go and continue hating America.

BEST COMPOSER- Told you guys. Jonny Greenwoods creepy score won. Creepy always wins. Always.

BEST SONG- "Falling Slowly" is beautiful, and it won. I am a great guesser.

BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM- "Diving Bell" rocks in the face. More on that later.

BEST TV MOVIE- Something won. I don't care. Life goes on.

BEST FAMILY FILM- "Enchanted" eh? Yeah, I got nothing.

BEST COMEDY- Fine then, don't go with the CFA'S, but you'll be sorry.

BEST YOUNG ACTRESS- Nikki Blonsky, um, yeah fine.

BEST YOUNG ACTOR- All those who for some reason can't tolerate bad language, don't read the following. (Clears throat.) Fuck you, Kite Runner Kid.

BEST ANIMATED FEATURE- It's pronounced, "obviousness." Ratatouille won for those who don't know.

BEST WRITER- Yeah, Diablo's pretty rockin'.

BEST DIRECTOR- Well, it wasn't your face, but it was the Coen Bro's. Yes.

BEST ACTING ENSEMBLE- Will Sweeney get no justice???

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS- Amy Ryan, shwatever.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR- Javier. Nice

BEST ACTRESS- Wait, why aren't you guys doin' the Ellen Page dance? No, don't you dare go do the Julie Christie dance. No, NOOOO!!!! Shit.

BEST ACTOR- Daniel Day-Lewis.

BEST PICTURE- No Country For Old Awesome is it's "real title," am I right?

Next....

Walk Hard Rocks.

As does this other crazy film I just saw called "Interstella 5555." Don't ask.

I saw Diving Bell the other night. Freakin' Awesome. It's quite possible to win Best Picture.

And "The Seafarer" is quite good.

Got to Fly, the great ones, they call me.

Golden Globes Canceled

Come on you guys!

You can now see how this is affecting Hollywood. Resume negotiations, and come to a compromise already!

I'm not against their right to strike, I'm against the fact that they should take into account the vast affect this is having on the entertainment industry, that's all.

If I don't have my facts straight, please inform me.

The Wacky Circumference: Critics Choice Awards Update!!!

Tomorrow, The 13th Annual Critics Choice Awards air on VH1, (Yeah, random right?) and I believe it's the first of the major awards shows broadcast on television.

Here are some of my predictions for who should, and will, win.

BEST DOCUMENTARY- I've heard good things about "The King of Kong," but it will probably go to "Sicko," or "No End in Sight."

BEST COMPOSER- Too bad Stephen Sondheim isn't allowed to be nominated, but Greenwood's score for "There Will Be Blood," is equally as creepy.

BEST SONG- Although I hated "Once," the nominated song, "Falling Slowly," is quite beautiful.

BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM- Some very strong nominees in this category, but I think it's between "Diving Bell," and "4 Months."

BEST PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION- "Tin Man?"

BEST FAMILY FILM- This category doesn't make sense. Everyone knows that family films suck. Fine then, "Hairspray" it is.

BEST COMEDY- Wait, "Hairspray" is nominated for Best Comedy as well??? That's just gay, but it doesn't matter, because this award is going to CFA Winner "Superbad." Or "Juno," which is also nominated for Best Picture? Get your shit together Critics Choice Awards.

BEST YOUNG ACTRESS- Um, no.

BEST YOUNG ACTOR- If this doesn't go to Edward Sanders, for his chilling performance in "Sweeney Todd," someone will be hurt. You better watch yourself Freddie Highmore.....

BEST ANIMATED FEATURE- "Persepolis," or "Ratatouille." That is the question.

BEST WRITER- I would like this to go to Diablo Cody for "Juno," but it will most likely go to the Coen Bro's, for "No Country."

BEST DIRECTOR- Here's where it gets messy. Tim Burton rocks, so I would want him to win. Sidney Lumet is 83, or something, and was able to direct a kick-ass awesome movie. And the Coen Bro's, well they're just amazing at life. So who will it be? Um, your face?

BEST ACTING ENSEMBLE- All together now. S-W-E-E-N-E-Y T-O-D-D.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS- If a woman doesn't get recognition for playing Bob Dylan, then we might as well give the Oscar for Best Picture to "Norbit."

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR- Sorry P.S.H, your awesomeness will have to slide this time. Javier's got it in the bag.

BEST ACTRESS- Do the Ellen Page Dance.

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.

BEST ACTOR- On the one hand, Daniel Day-Lewis is the finest actor of this generation, and his methods of acting cannot be matched, and his performance has been critically acclaimed across the land. On the other hand, Johnny Depp.
This is a tough one.

BEST PICTURE- So, there are 10 nominees, (What the fudge!) but here are the ones that actually are good, and have a chance of winning:

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
Juno
No Country For Old Men
Sweeney Todd
There Will Be Blood

Wait, that equals five. the number of nominees you usually have! What the hell are these other 5 doing here!!!!

So, I would be happy if any of these five won, preferably the bottom three.

That's it for "The Wacky Circumference." Tune in next time when we discuss the winners, and predict the winners of the Golden Globes, if it even airs.....

Sorry I'm a bit late, I've been very busy lately.

SO, it's January, and the awards season is near.

First up, the Critics Choice Awards, this monday, January 7.

That, and drowning puppies, when we return...
