... Is it terrible when one joins so she too can create an insane musical, and for the sole purpose of responding to this epic post? :
I. LOVE. YOU. <<333
Very few and far-between are people like you and I who did not like Gerard as the Phantom. I personally would rather have casted someone who can actually sing, keke. :3
As for "Gerik"s Sunburn of Doom as the fans have dubbed it, I think they should have removed his nose or something. At least made an attempt to make dear Gerry look ugly, lol.
I love Micheal Crawford too. The only person whose voice I prefer is Emmy, when compared to Sarah Brightman. I think Christine should have that sweeter tone like Emmy seems to have. Shame she nailed the singing, but failed the acting, lol.
Oh, and can't we have Sir Aaron as, like, the Phantom or something, and Lucario be the Persian? Oh, and instead of a scepter-thing, he would need a punjab lasso. D:
As for Lugia, he can just be the pimp of the musical.
I shall think of more later.
If you need anyone to blame, by the way, all finger pointing goes to Bay, who referred me to this forum and thread. haha. :D :D :D
Ironically, I just watched that movie.
I'm gonna kill them for three things:
1. Making the Phantom positively handsome. He goes through half the movie looking suave, and even when he gets his little pansy-arse half-mask torn off all that happens is that we find that he has- *gasp* -a third degree sunburn. Dude. And then half of his hair- black throughout the movie- inexplicably turns white and stringy. He looks less like a hideously misshapen genius and more like somebody you might run into at a grunge-rock concert.
2. Casting an actor who can BARELY SING as the Phantom. I've heard the original cast recordings with Michael Crawford, and I know that Music of the Night is supposed to be a tender, moving number that makes you feel pity for the Phantom. It is not supposed to make me want to strangle him for attempting such a complicated piece of music. And don't even get me started on how badly he messed up his theme song. My ears, they bleed! >.<
3. Screwing up the original relationship between Christine and the Phantom. Book!Phantom and presumably Stageshow!Phantom are only a couple years older than Christine, and she looks at them primarily as an almost romantic interest (that is, until she finds out that they're missing a nose and their skin looks like it's about to flake away and fall straight off of their face). Movie!Phantom is not only less pitiful and believable than his counterparts, he's also roughly the same age as Madame Giry, and Christine thinks of him as a father figure. Creepy? Why, yes, yes it is.
The only things the movie got right were casting a sixteen year old as Christine (yes, she's supposed to be that young), and casting an excellent actress as Carlotta. I could tell that whoever she was, she was actually quite a talented soprano, because there are times when you can tell that she's singing badly quite on purpose and having difficulty keeping it believable. I liked the Carlotta segments. Everything else in that movie can just go and burn. >.<
Sorry about that rant, but it was ABSOLUTEY NECESSARY.
And on that note, I propose our Lounge put on a production of Les Miserables. *Casts self as Thenardier*
I. LOVE. YOU. <<333
