I mean, we are all just fucking pajama people.

I believe I will listen to that recording right now. I also think that "On the Side of the Angels" is a freaking great opening number. Bock and Harnick really knew how to write them.

I mean, I love old-timey musicals (and new-timey musicals - the most recent musical to win the Pulitzer was Next to Normal, a 2010 rock musical), and I just get so embarrassed by Sorkin's constant shilling for them.

I highly doubt that Piper spent time reading up on legal texts about drug laws. The 12 years is probably something her lawyer told her, and she latched on to it.

I'm a plant!

I don't remember any lyrics to American Pie, and I've heard it a billion times. I do know every lyric to "The Saga Begins" though.

Looking at her resume, it seems to me as if she's been taking the best jobs available to her. I don't know that she was ever poised for superstardom - Bring It On didn't exactly launch any of its cast members into stardom (Kirsten Dunst was already a star), and that's the only thing I knew her from, without looking up

I am on board with that idea.

This makes me weep. Seriously, just imagine what Shane Carruth could do with $2 million. SyFy, give him money to make a two-hour TV movie and I promise, I will never mock your deeply stupid name again.

It's ok. I feel like it doesn't deserve any more energy than that.

I love Everwood! And specifically I love Hannah on Everwood!

I agree with this.

Interesting.

I would've loved to see that movie.

I wish this movie had a little more theology in it, quite honestly. That might sound like an odd wish, but I felt like the little scene where the guys actually started discussing God was too surfacey. For all Seth and Evan talked about the underlying ideas in the movie in their PR interviews, I felt like the

Yeah, McBride is easily the comic highlight of the movie, if you like his shtick at all. When he leaves in the second act, the laugh quotient of the movie goes way down.

I've listened to a lot of cast albums growing up, but I never got into Fiorello. Seeing it at Encores was like seeing a brand-new show, and I completely loved it. What a great score! @Roswulf:disqus , you know that Harnick re-wrote that lyric, right? Erin Dilly didn't sing it at Encores. The book is not great,

I mean…I've seen it lip-synched badly a number of times in the theatre. They probably should've practiced a few more times knowing they were going to be shot in high definition.

The actors are constantly going on and off stage throughout the number, and there's a fair amount of running around backstage for the next entrance. There are parts of the song that are sung live, but about 70% of it is pre-recorded. That's not a scientific percentage, just my estimate.
