After this, the kids and Chrissy left for their respective work and school, and Megan, Luna, and Tess sat and had the fruit and yogurt parfait Megan had made. Then, Luna got a call from her and Tess's cousin Vincent, and he excitedly told her that he and his fiance Ren had adopted a toddler and wanted them to come over and meet her if they didn't mind. Luna was like sure, we'll be right over.

They headed to Henford on Bagley and greeted Vincent and Ren before greeting a shy Cheyanne. Luna was like aw man, she's so cute. Plus, Luna got this moodlet.

JONATHAN GROFF SETS 2025 BROADWAY RETURN WITH ‘JUST IN TIME’

by Philip Boroff

EXCLUSIVE: Newly minted Tony Award winner Jonathan Groff will play the 1950s and ’60s crooner Bobby Darin in a staged reading next month, ahead of a planned Broadway opening in spring 2025, people familiar with the musical said.

The reading of Just in Time will be directed by Alex Timbers (Moulin Rouge!). On Broadway, Tom Kirdahy and Robert Ahrens are set to produce the show, which tells the story of the short but eventful life of the popular performer, whose hits included “Mack the Knife,” “Dream Lover” and “Just in Time.”

Born Walden Robert Cassotto in East Harlem, Darin had rheumatic fever as a child that damaged his heart. He lived, he acknowledged, as if on borrowed time before his death at 37.

He led a new generation of swinging singers into the rock revolution of the 1960s. He also acted in movies, composed music, married the actress Sandra Dee and as an adult discovered that the woman he thought was his older sister was his mother.

“I went on YouTube,” Groff told reporter Elysa Gardner before a rehearsal of an early version of the show, presented as part of the 92nd Street Y ‘s “Lyrics and Lyricist” series in 2018. “I watched all these TV performances, from the beginning to the end of his career, and I was blown away by his versatility. The rock & roll and the standards, the dancing, the folk songs. The duets with George Burns and Judy Garland. His life was insane.”

Darin spawned many imitators, including Kevin Spacey, who played him in the biofilm Beyond the Sea. The ballad “Just in Time” was composed by Jule Styne with lyrics by Adolph Green and Betty Comden for the musical Bells are Ringing. It became a hit for Dean Martin, among others, who was in the 1960 movie adaptation directed by Vincente Minnelli.

Besides Groff, casting wasn’t available. The reading isn’t affected by the monthlong Actors’ Equity strike intended to pressure the Broadway League to improve its Development Agreement with the union. Actors will be working under a contract negotiated with the League of Resident Theatres (LORT), an association of nonprofit theater companies.

Although the reading will be in New York, it’s under the aegis of Signature Theatre in Arlington, Virginia, which is a LORT member.

In a charmed career, the 39-year-old Groff has performed in the Frozen films, the TV series Glee and three acclaimed Broadway blockbusters — Spring Awakening, Hamilton and most recently Merrily We Roll Along — each of which earned him a Tony nomination. (He won for Merrily.)

Groff was also the first Seymour in the hit off-Broadway revival of Little Shop of Horrors, produced by Ahrens, Kirdahy and Hunter Arnold. Andrew Barth Feldman is currently playing the role.

In his moving acceptance speech at the Tony awards in June, Groff spoke about his love of the Broadway community and how “musical theater is still saving my soul.” Just in Time will aim for multigenerational appeal, as the young Broadway star sings 65-year-old standards.

Since the pandemic, older audiences have been slow to return to Broadway. If Just in Time is well received, Groff may be just the man to help bring them back.

Jonathan led a reading of the show on 15 March 2024 after rehearsing for a couple of weeks with the cast. Details below:

Despite this, B is afraid that A will hurt them in their vulnerable state. (You can use any characters for this, and if you don't like the prompt, feel free to modify or shorten it as you see fit!)

Vincent Feldman, aged 22, thought that the hardest thing in his life would be high school. But noooo, bullies are in college too, apparently. Between homework, parties, and his bully, Damien Blackwood, he wasn't sure how he was staying afloat.

But what happens when a mysterious package shows up at his door?

I Hate You- But I'm Not A Monster - weirdcoreboy - No Fandom [Archive of Our Own]

__________________________________________________________

Vincent stared at the blank screen in front of him, the empty Gaggle page seemingly taunting him for not being able to write a single line of this stupidly hard project he had to write for his college. He pouted before glancing at the clock and gasping in horror as he realized what time it was. 11:45 PM. Well… crap.

He gritted his teeth and reopened the laptop, typing furiously. He had forgotten that the assignment Professor Tayman had assigned him- the one he was writing- was due the next day. Er…well, to be more precise, in fifteen minutes. He swallowed nervously. This would most definitely be an…interesting presentation tomorrow. He could almost see it- him wobbling to the front of the room, most likely sleep-deprived- and then mumbling out his essay to the other twenty students in the class. He stifled a snicker just thinking about it, before he stopped and sighed, thinking back to what happened the previous week. First, there was Damien. Damien was your typical emo that looked like he hadn’t been out in the sun for at least his whole life, and by that I mean the sort of person who would probably get a sunburn from a flashlight. Hell, Vincent wouldn't have bee surprised if the guy hadn’t seen any form of light since he was in the hospital after getting born. He had (definitely dyed) black hair that covered his right eye and was down to his shoulders in what was either a messily done wolf cut or a mullet done by a blind person on steroids. If that wasn’t bad enough, he constantly had the annoying seventh-grade ‘I’m so cool, I’m so special, look at me’ aura, despite the fact he was wearing what Vincent privately thought was the ugliest black skull tank top and black cargo pants with chains all over them in the world, making him sound like a human jingle bell. What was even worse about this guy was the fact he was twenty-two. A legal adult as well as the same age as Vincent himself.

Although…he couldn’t say much himself. He glanced down at his ruffled shirt with polka dots on it, which earned him the nickname ‘clown boy’ in school. He wrinkled his nose in distaste thinking about all of Damien’s teasing remarks on it. Again, the man was twenty-two, for heaven’s sake. He shook his head violently, trying to clear his thoughts. “Ugh! I am not letting some emo loser ruin my day! He can go die in a hole, for all I care!” he exclaimed, before ducking his head in embarrassment as he realized he said that aloud. “I mean…whatever.” he muttered to himself, before he heard the doorbell ring, making him jump and fall out of his chair. “Ow…why does my stupid apartment have to install such loud door…whatever.” he grumbled, rubbing his head before getting up and taking out his phone, checking his outfit and makeup before going to the door. “Who is it?” he asked before just opening the door, not bothering to check. Admittedly, that wasn’t the best idea, as he immediately got pelted in the face by rain. He wouldn’t admit it to anyone but…wow, that hurt. “Augh-?!” he managed out, getting water in his mouth immediately. He spat it out and shielded his eyes with his hands, looking up, then down and spotting a box. ‘Seriously?! What the hell-?!’ he thought to himself before picking it up. ‘This better be good…’ He shook the box and could’ve sworn he heard a muffled, tiny…human-like scream coming from it, but…it was probably just the rain. Right? Right??? He sighed and brought the box to the kitchen, checking his phone for emails. No…he hadn’t ordered anything recently. His binder had come in the previous day, and he didn’t have anything else out for delivery. So…what was this thing? It wasn’t labeled, and it was dripping all over his counter. “You know what, random box?” he said to it, “I’m just gonna assume this is a glitter bomb and…” he grabbed a pair of scissors from the drawer and stabbed it in, “Not open it carefully. I’m already sparkly enough.” he joked to himself, tearing the box open. He didn’t notice the muffled screams coming from it as he finished opening it, staring inside to find…absolutely nothing. “Oh, come on…” he whined to himself as he reached into the seemingly empty box, feeling around the edges until he felt a small, ping-pong ball-sized object. He squeaked in surprise as the thing moved, curling up tighter in his palm, “I don’t…what?” he mumbled, lifting it out of the box and staring at the trembling ball of what appeared to be charcoal. “Eh-?!” he let out a squeak of surprise, nearing dropping it as it jumped in his hand. 

“Uhm…” he was at a loss for words as he poked the thing, hearing it squeak. “I’m sorry!! Sorry…” he apologized as the doll…thing…tiny human…? uncurled itself and looked up at him, and he immediately recognized the man. 

“D-Damien…?” He stammered out, noticing how the other man immediately flinched and started trying to get out of his grip. “Wait, wait wait hold on—“ he said as he held him tighter, earning a squeak from the poor boy in his hands. “Wait, no, I’m sorry-“ he apologized, loosening his grip as Damien screamed in a tiny voice, making his heart break a bit. 

“Let me go, you freak!!” The emo boy screeched out as he squirmed, the chains on his pants catching on Vincent’s nails and making the whole situation even worse. “Were you the one who did this to me—?!” 

Vincent’s eyebrows shot up. “No, I swear! The package you were in was just delivered to my house in the rain!!” He protested, trying to get Damien to see, but Damien just froze, paling. 

“I-I-“ 

Vincent cut him off. “Come on man, you’re sopping wet and…this happened.” He indicated Damien’s size. “Can we at least just…get you some food and maybe dry…something?” He sighed as Damien stiffened. 

“No.” He hissed, “you are going to tell me what I’m doing here and what happened.” He hissed, trying to seem tough, but his voice shook at the end.

“I don’t know man, seriously!” Vincent exclaimed. “You just…showed up, and I don’t know what-!” He was cut off by Damien. 

“How am I supposed to trust your words?” The raven haired boy glared at him, “you and I, we’re enemies, you know that. You could..you could snatch me up and hurt me and—” he started trembling.

Vincent’s eyes went wide, “Dude, look at me-“ he began, using a finger to tilt Damien’s chin up to look at him. “First of all, you started our ‘rivalry’, whatever it was…and whatever your little emo heart is thinking, I’m not planning on hurting you. We haven’t gotten physical once, and I’m not going to break it.” He finished. After a moment of silence, he added, 

“Also, I’m the only person here, so it’s not like you have any other words to trust.” 

Damien huffed, knowing he couldn’t argue. “Clothes, then food, then talk?” He finally muttered out as Vincent smiled. This was…progress. Maybe. He still noticed the small shake in Damien’s voice and he tried his best to reassure him as he put the boy on the counter. 

“Clothes, then food, then talk.” He parroted. With that, he turned to find something for Damien to wear, despite their massive size difference. Hell, he’d even sew something up for him to wear. After a bit, he found something perfect.

“Damien!” He called back as he came back into the kitchen with the clothes before spotting an empty counter. His blood ran cold as he stared. “Damien…?” He paled, 

“Damien, talk to me. Where are you?” He said frantically before looking at his platform boots, suppressing a gagging noise as he thought about what had happened. He checked his boots, which were clean- thank goodness- before throwing them across the room and watching his steps. 

“Hey…Damien, it’s safe, I promise.” He whispered as he carefully walked up to the counter, noticing a trail of water droplets that led to a cereal box. He moved there quickly, putting a hand on the box to move it before hearing something- probably a scream, but at Damien’s size, it was more of a squeak. 

“Stop!!” 

The blonde immediately retracted his hand with a gasp. “Sorry, sorry—“ he mumbled out before an idea came to mind. “I won’t move it…” he began, a smile coming to his face, “but you have to talk to me.” He coaxed. A few seconds passed before he heard a muffled, “Fine.” coming from behind the box. 

Vincent sat down, leaning against the counter, “So, Damien…how are you feeling?” He asked. He heard a dry laugh in response. 

“Besides waking up in a box and getting held like a toy by my enemy…? I just feel…am I dreaming?” Damien sighed, “I mean, I seriously couldn’t have just…gotten shrunk by someone..and then somehow mailed to Vincent freaking Feldman, literally the dumbest person in school and-“ he cut himself off, obviously realizing his predicament. 

Vincent, however, only laughed. “gee, thanks for the description. I’m flattered. Is that how it happened though? Some guy just…decided to shrink you? Why?” 

“I don’t know…” Damien replied. “But I feel kinda…I feel stupid, like this is just another thing proving how I’m just a worthless idiot and-“ he was cut off by Vincent standing up. 

“Hey! I won’t let you say those things about yourself.” He flared, instinctively moving and slapping away the cereal box, the only thing separating the two. He watched Damien pale as the cereal spilled nearby. “I-I didn’t-“ he began as Damien started to back up. “Wait-!” 

“This- this was your plan all along, wasn’t it?” The other boy retorted before he could finish. “T-to make me feel safe a-and capture me!” With every word, he backed up a step more until he was just on the edge of the counter.

“Damien, hold on-!” Vincent yelled, reaching for him. “You’re gonna-“ 

Damien’s eyes went wide and he flinched back before falling off the counter with a scream, shutting his eyes tightly and expecting certain death. One second passed…then another…until he finally cracked an eye open. 

“Wh-?” He said as he was being held by Vincent again. The blonde had practically belly-flopped over the counter, laying on his stomach. Damien watched him wince. He flinched as Vincent spoke.

“What the hell, man…” the blonde growled. “Don’t say those things about yourself. I mean it.” He said as he got off the counter, still holding Damien as he lifted him up to eye level.

“Look man. You might be an idiot, but you’re not worthless, no matter what size you are. Besides, you’re my idiot.” 

It took a few seconds for both boys to process that, but when they did, Damien busted out laughing and Vincent just covered his face with his free hand in embarrassment, flushing a deep crimson.

“Anyway!” He exclaimed out, trying to change the subject, “Damien freaking Whitman! Stop laughing!” He said in a mom-like tone, making Damien laugh harder. “What was I saying-? Oh yeah! Clothes, then food, then talk!” He huffed out as he held out Damien’s new clothes. 

“I thought they might suit you. I used to sew doll clothes but this is really nice fabric that I tossed together. Hope you like it?” He managed out, trying to suppress a smile as Damien looked the clothes over.

Damien immediately stopped laughing at the sight. “…Dude, is that a dress? And it’s pink? ” 

Vincent started snickering at his expression, “I think you just invented a new shade of white with how pale you just got…” he managed out as he put Damien and the obnoxiously pink dress onto the table. “I’ll leave you be with your new…friend. Don’t run off again.” He grinned as Damien’s jaw dropped, the raven haired boy looking between him and the monstrosity of a dress.

“Can’t wait to see you in this, bye!” Vincent moved to leave quickly as Damien started shouting.

“Dude- VIN- wait! I’M SORRY FOR LAUGHING-! Don’t make me wear this!” The emo boy begged as the door clicked shut. He could hear Vincent laughing in the hall as he screeched.

“VINCENT FELDMAN!”

Frank Black - Wetlands, New York City, June 13, 1994

A nice surprise – Frank Black is taking his second solo LP, 1994's classic Teenager of the Year, out on the road in 2025 for an, er, 31st anniversary tour. And he's even coming to Denver! I might have to go. Way back in my own teenage-hood, this record was a big one for me and my friends, and seeing Frank at McCabe's Guitar Shop right when it came out was an important experience.

Teenager of the Year holds up! When so much of the alt-rock world was angstily navel-gazing, Frank was writing wildly imaginative speculative fiction in miniature form, covering topics (Climate change! Space travel! The Three Stooges!) that no one else was with wit and concision. These songs were also catchy as hell, overstuffed with hooks and harmonies. Freedom rock, baby.

The Teenager of the Year band was pretty killer, too — bassist Eric Drew Feldman (Pere Ubu, Captain Beefheart, PJ Harvey, etc), drummer Nick Vincent and guitarist Lyle Workman. Appropriately, it's these very same musicians who will be joining Frank on tour next year.

So let's listen to an old tape of the group during the TotY tour, playing at that long-gone jam band haven Wetlands, way down in Tribeca. A lot of the new album is played, along with a lot of the self-titled debut, along with some excellent rarities like the Jonathan Richman tribute "The Man Who Was Too Loud," "Oddballs" and many more.

Later that night, Harry and Abby’s oldest kids came over to visit. Noah and Vincent hugged their mom, stepdad, and baby sisters, and then sat with the family. Harry's son Quentin came over too but my game crashed and I was like welp nevermind. 😅

All typings have a corresponding youtube video (linked). Many more on their way. Please note, that some of these are likely to change a bit in the future.

I’ll probably update a handful of older ones soon, as my understanding of the Enneagram has evolved since some of them were made (and is still deepening). This obsession is all-consuming and I won’t stop until I can psychically intuit every single type + instinct combination on sight, within 10 seconds and am rebirthed into my next form as the 🧞‍♀️👁️ human pixie frequency diviner of the apocalypse. 😈 🔥

Week 4 - Young Frankenstein (1974) Short Analytic Essay

By Carly Leavitt-Hullana

A compilation of TV commercials to advertise the release of Young Frankenstein.

Young Frankenstein, directed by Mel Brooksand co-written by Gene Wilders, starring Gene Wilder as Dr. Frederick Frankenstein, Marty Feldman as Igor, and Teri Garr as Inga who is Dr. Frankenstein’s lab assistant, was released on December 15, 1974 by 20th Century Studios. It is categorized as a comedy/horror film and is rated PG. The film puts a comedic twist on the original horror film, Frankenstein, that was released in 1931 and directed by James Whale. The 1931 film was based off of Mary Shelley’s novel published in 1818, which is said to be the first ever science fiction novel and has paved the way for science fiction literature, (read more Frankenstein as Science Fiction and Fact via Sage Journals). In this short essay I touch on a brief plot of the film, critical receptions, box office performance, and the conventionality as well as two historic events that also occurred in 1974.

Young Frankenstein follows the journey of the brain surgeon and professor Dr. Frankenstein, as he tries to escape the legacy of his looney grandfather. Although try as he might, he ends up traveling to his late grandfather’s estate in Transylvania where he meets Igor and Inga and soon finds his grandfather’s hidden study/laboratory and journal that tells the secret of how he brought a dead person back to life. After reading through the journal, Dr. Frankenstein then exhumes a newly buried body, tries an experiment of his own, and successfully repeats his grandfather's discovery. However, there are some hiccups and many laughs along the way.

This is the scene right after they interact with Dr. Frankenstein’s subject. 

As you can see in the movie clip above as well as in the movie shot below, Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein differs from other films of that decade. Highly respected film critic, Roger Ebert, comments, “Brooks uses carefully controlled black-and-white photography that catches the feel of the earlier films,” (Young Frankenstein via Roger Ebert). Despite coming out in the 70s, Brooks’ chooses to film this movie in black and white to maintain a similar vibe to the 1931 original as well as add effectiveness to the overall comedic value of the film. Other critics comment about Brook’s comedic intelligence and attentiveness in regards to the original films it is a parody of. Vincent CanBY, a film critic for the New York Times writes, “Perhaps the nicest thing about “Young Frankenstein'' is that one can laugh with it and never feel as if the target film, James Whale's 1931 classic that starred Boris Karloff, is being rudely used,” (‘Young Frankenstein’ a MonsterRiot via The New York Times). Many critics can agree that this film is well executed along with well-deserving of its success. 

This is one of the first laughs we get from the film Dr. Frankenstein makes it to his grandfather’s estate in Transylvania.

With all of this attention and the fact that this movie is a parody, Young Frankenstein performed equally as well in the box office. With an estimated budget of $2,800,000, a gross profit of $86,273,333 in the US and Canada, and a gross worldwide profit of $86,274,406, it is safe to say that this movie was also a success in the box office as well (Young Frankenstein via IMDb). 

Interview

An American Masters interview with Mel Brooks where he talks about the creation and success of Young Frankenstein as well as his other films.

The successfulness of Young Frankenstein is even more impressive when taking the type of film it is into account. Young Frankenstein is considered unconventional as it is a parody of another film which could be taken as offensive to some in the audience. Another reason why this movie is unconventional is due to the fact that there are some inappropriate scenes in the second half of the movie which might not sit well with some of the viewers as Young Frankenstein is rated PG, a family friendly movie. Other minor details that might put this film into the unconventional category are how Mel Brooks puts in a lot of effort and pays high attention to detail in every scene, he even used the original laboratory equipment props from the original 1931 Frankenstein. With that being said, another conventional part of this movie is that Mel Brooks used star actors as Gene Wilders was known for his role in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory and Peter Boyle.

Today, LIVE! Sam Harris is one of my favorite people on the planet. I can’t wait to sit down with this dynamo. Sam’s diversified career has run the gamut from singer and songwriter to Tony-nominated actor on Broadway, to film, TV, writer, director, producer, and author. Pulling a weekly audience of more than 25 million viewers, Sam won Star Search, the original talent television competition show in its premiere season. We’re gonna talk about how it changed his life and career, and, how he’s parlayed it to great success, living his dreams. Such as penning the best-selling book, HAM: Slices of a Life, which he developed into the play, HAM: A Musical Memoir, and won the prestigious Ovation Awards for Best Musical and Best Actor. Sam performed a juicy hunk of it, in the room where it happens for Women Who Write *sigh* The play was filmed live at the Pasadena Playhouse and was televised. Sam sold his half-hour television show, The Astonishing Fall and Rise of Lydia Feldman, to E-One Entertainment, and his 2nd book, the novel, The Substance of All Things, also kicked literary ass. 

When Sam sings he makes me cry... in the good way. I plan to be doing some of that… and., of course, as always, we’ll be laughing... and talking about real things. How the pandemic and parenting for two have impacted his life and his career. I love the Sam. Hurry!
