Having now seen THE WILD ROBOT, and also seeing how it's on track to be another success for DreamWorks, I think the takeaway is... If you're gonna make a big sci-fi animated movie (read: something that cost about $60m to make) that'll make its money back, you gotta have appealing robots and some kind of cuddliness, lol. This movie and WALL-E are among the only big studio science-fiction animated movies that aren't infamous box office bombs. LILO & STITCH - also from WILD ROBOT director Chris Sanders, whose sci-fi elements I consider dressing, could count too.
Not like TITAN A.E., ATLANTIS, TREASURE PLANET, LIGHTYEAR, STRANGE WORLD, and possibly - sadly - TRANSFORMERS ONE. Where it's a lot of heavy metal, action, explosions, etc. that seems to - at first glance - overpower what's really there to someone who hasn't seen those movies. At least, from a marketing standpoint. LILO & STITCH's marketing campaign was legendary for emphasizing just how weird and different Stitch the blue alien was in comparison to previous Disney lead characters, WALL-E's campaign focused on the robot romance and pantomime storytelling, THE WILD ROBOT on nature, motherhood, connection, and survival.
In fact, having both TRANSFORMERS ONE and WILD ROBOT open opposite each other illustrates that dichotomy quite nicely. One movie is perceived as "boy-centric", recalling those similar sci-fi action animated movies of the aughts, the other not so much.
ELIO, next summer, has the sorta "kid on a big adventure" story, who happens to be a boy. What the story does with the aunt character remains to be seen, though. Given that that's a Pixar production, it's gonna have to double the opening weekend gross of WILD ROBOT in order to have some shot at not being deemed a flop... Absurd, huh? No original animated movie, post-COVID outbreak, should be expected to achieve that.
Walt Disney, by around the late 1950s, had surmised that *mom* was the person you had to appeal to when making a big budget animated movie of that caliber. Because she takes the whole family with her, and then tells her friends (some of them moms, too), and her friends tell all their friends, etc. The whole family, the wide net... THE WILD ROBOT and its Mama Robot story got the moms, TRANSFORMERS ONE seemingly didn't. That may or may not be a full explanation, but it's what this all reminded me of...
Chris Sanders has already spoken of a WILD ROBOT sequel in interviews, and there are two book sequels to WILD ROBOT. Given how the movie ends, and given that those two books exist? Absolutely. I really do think it's a matter of "when". Barely any successful DreamWorks movies didn't get sequels. SHARK TALE is a rare example of this. The movie was a hit in 2004, made $370m+ worldwide against its $75m budget, but never got a two for whatever reason. MONSTERS VS. ALIENS, sci-fi flavored, barely eked out, didn't get a sequel either. HOME, another alien/sci-fi type, also didn't get a two. But most of the time, their profitable movies get at least one sequel. So, I expect THE WILD ROBOT ESCAPES to be a priority.
On the prospect of Chris directing... Chris didn't direct the HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON sequels. Dean DeBlois, who directed the first one w/ Chris and also LILO & STITCH, took over and - interestingly - is directing next year's live-action take on the original source material. Chris was to direct the sequel to his THE CROODS, but didn't. He and Kirk DeMicco did the original, Kirk didn't return either. DreamWorks, upon being acquired by Comcast in 2016, put their version of the movie on ice after some complications with the story. Chris went off to 20th Century to direct THE CALL OF THE WILD, Kirk landed at Sony Animation and took on VIVO... DreamWorks decided to revive THE CROODS 2, and gave it to Joel Crawford to direct, though Chris and Kirk still contributed story material and it appears that the movie is based on their original version that got canned in 2016.
Which leads me to ask... Does Chris return for WILD ROBOT ESCAPES? Or takes on a new project at DreamWorks? Possibly an adaptation of his comic KISKALOO? He's been making features there for so long now, but it would be really cool if... Now that they're under new and possibly leadership, he makes a grand return to Walt Disney Animation Studios and gets at least one more movie out there? To make up for how his AMERICAN DOG got John Lasseter-ized into BOLT? One can dream, lol. Either way, I'm excited for what he'll do next.

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish
Movies watched in 2023
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022, USA)
Dir: Joel Crawford (with Januel Mercado credited as co-director)
Writers: Paul Fisher & Tommy Swerdlow (story by Tommy Swerdlow & Tom Wheeler)
Mini-review:
My expectations for this were crazy high and, thankfully, it didn't disappoint at all. The story is incredibly emotional, the characters are richly written and the animation is... WOW. Every single shot of the movie is mind-blowingly stunning. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen for even a second. You can just see all the work, love and passion that went into making this film. And also, the story feels so refreshing and original. Like, from an objective point of view, I can tell it isn't that groundbreaking, but the way it's told did feel... new to me.
Another thing I want to highlight is the Wolf, cause I can't remember the last time I saw a villan that was so genuinely terrifying. The character's animation and voice work are pitch-perfect. I know the same can be said about the rest of characters, but this one was particularly striking to me. And going back to the story, I really loved its message and the way they brought all the plot threads/characters together at the end. To sum up, this movie stole my heart thanks to its story, its characters and the sheer beauty of its animation. Let's hope we get to see more stuff like that, but in the Far Far Away setting 👀

3 Favourite Books and Films | Winter 2023 Releases
Some seasons, there’s just not enough media intriguing me, so here are three instead of the usual five favourites that released sometime this past winter.
1. For Her Consideration by Amy Spalding ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
Since a crushing breakup three years ago, Nina Rice has written romance, friends, her dreams of scriptwriting for TV, and even L.A. proper out of her life. Instead, she’s safely out in the suburbs in her aunt’s condo working her talent agency job from home, managing celebrity email accounts, and certain that’s plenty of writing—and plot—for her life. But a surprise meeting called by Ari Fox, a young actress on everyone’s radar, stirs up all kinds of feelings Nina thought she’d deleted for good… (Storygraph)
Never hurts to start the year off right with a full package enjoyable sapphic romance. Drenched in queer culture, film business and plus-sized representation, Amy Spalding brings a sweet story with interesting, fun, and very relatable, leads and side characters. Never stressing you out with over-the-top drama, it is the perfect romance to binge if you’d like to feel something, with just the slightest bit of spice to add to that. Full review can be found here.
2. Babylon (2022) dir. Damien Chazelle ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
A tale of outsized ambition and outrageous excess, tracing the rise and fall of multiple characters during an era of unbridled decadence and depravity in early Hollywood. (Letterboxd)
With the mixed reviews this had been getting, I had almost decided not to watch it, what with it being three hours long and all. Maybe if I’d remembered this is by the director of Whiplash (2016), I would have known not to be concerned. Despite the story being a bit all over, I was intrigued and the soundtrack had me more excited than I’d been in a while. It left me absolutely speechless by the end and the long watch was absolutely worth it! Incredible acting performances, especially by Diego Calva. Just wow, what a ride!
3. Puss In Boots: The Last Wish (2022) dir. Joel Crawford ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
Puss in Boots discovers that his passion for adventure has taken its toll: He has burned through eight of his nine lives, leaving him with only one life left. Puss sets out on an epic journey to find the mythical Last Wish and restore his nine lives. (Letterboxd)
Finally, moving away from Hollywood territory, there’s the childhood nostalgia mixed with incredible animation. Puss in Boots used to be one of my favourite characters and seeing him back on screen after all these years made me really happy. The story flew by and I was really captivated by the action sequences and the creative animation styles. Some shots actually managed to haunt me a little, which was a pleasant surprise. It was the perfect Sunday afternoon family watch!

Confession. (Joel Crawford *Arranged marriage AU*)
Requested: 70. "After everything we've been through, you still don't think that I love you?" + 80. "I've always been honest with you." From the prompt list.
Genre: Angst/Fluff.
(Second Person Point of View)
The sound of your heels clicking harshly against the ceramic tiles of your hotel room's floor filled the dimly lit space, as you furiously marched towards the bedroom, more than ready to call it a night.
"Would you at least listen to me for one goddamn second?!" Your husband calls, after shutting the door behind him.
You heard his footsteps follow you into the bedroom, but you ignore him, your jaw clenching at the thought of seeing him.
Taking your relatively big earrings off, you try to keep yourself busy with any random task so you wouldn't have to face him.
Yet he didn't seem to be willing to grant your wish. "Please?" He adds to his previous 'request', now in a more controlled tone, as he grabs your wrist to gain your attention.
"Listen to what, Joel?!" Perhaps he was able to control his anger, but you weren't the best at this, especially when you were convinced it wasn't your fault, "your lame excuses?!"
He let out a humorless laugh, "lame excuses? You're the one that let a random man flirt with her throughout the night, and might I add, looked absolutely delighted during the interaction."
"He wasn't flirting! And I told you he was an old friend; we were just catching up!" You pull your wrist away, sensing his grip tightening around it.
You proceed to hastily and carelessly untie the elegant bun your hair had been pulled into, trying to avoid eye contact. You could already feel the familiar stinging in your eye: you hated how you ended up crying whenever you're angry. It made you more vulnerable, and you didn't want that.
"I'm not stupid, (Y/N)! He was eyeing you the entire night!" He refrained from trying to get you to look at him, for he was still in contact with the side of him that didn't want to make you uncomfortable, even if he was angry.
"You're just overreacting." You snap in irritation, not forgetting to mutter "as usual."
Joel wasn't one to overreact; you knew that, but angry you just seemed to want to get on his nerves as much as he was getting on yours at the moment.
"You can't even defend yourself properly; what are you hiding?" He crosses his arms, as he waits for a response, but he grows impatient when you merely stare at him with furrowed eyebrows, "is there anything between you two?! Just be fucking honest!"
"I've always been honest with you!" Your voice gets slightly louder to match his.
Guests are so gonna complain about the noise both of you are causing.
You wouldn't admit it, but you were quite hurt by the fact he'd think you were cheating on him.
"Well then, prove it! Stop letting random men flirt with you!" He argues, "You're my wife, remember?" His voice getting softer towards the end.
"It's an arranged marriage; we both know we're not in love, so stop making a big deal out of it." You roll your eyes. You knew your statement was to remind yourself as much as it was to remind him, maybe even more to yourself. It was harder to keep the tears from rolling down your face by now, so you move further away from him, proceeding with the keeping yourself busy with random tasks trick.
You sit on the edge of the bed, loosening the straps on your shoes so you could slip your feet out of the clothing item that had practically destroyed your feet. Apart from the blisters forming on the skin above your heels due to the straps, your feet generally hurt because of the position the were placed in for the entire night, but that was the least of your worries now.
"We both know we're not in love, huh.." he whispers, head hung low.
The longer he remained quiet, the worse you felt about the statement you threw at him without thinking. You knew it wasn't true. You had feelings for him, and in a way, you sensed he returned those feelings too.
"After everything we've been through, you still don't think that I love you?" Your heart twisted in a way you couldn't explain. That was the first time he directly said it.
He only ever said it in his 'be careful', his 'I'll pick you up', and his 'don't worry; I'm here for you'. This was the first time you heard him say he loves you. And boy were you happy to hear it. The way he spoke each syllable made your heart flutter in your chest, but it also pained you that this was the context he said it in.
"I'm gonna go for a walk; I'll let you calm down." He turns his back to you, merely whispering a small I'm sorry before walking out the bedroom door.
"Wait!" You rush after him and grasp his sleeves tightly, urging him to stand still.
"What is it?" He asks quietly.
You struggle to find your own voice and begin to sputter nonsense before finally blurting out what you intended to say, "I..I love you too."
The quietness that overcame the room contradicted the yelling that filled it a few moments ago.
You glance back at him with curious eyes, just to be met with the same curious gaze.
Suddenly, his eyes softened and a chuckle escapes his lips, even though it took you by surprise, you found yourself smiling back at him.
He pulls you into his chest, allowing you to feel the vibration coming from his chest as he laughs. You couldn't tell what was so funny, and you figured he couldn't either, yet you found yourself joining him.
You wondered if you'd both gone mad, or perhaps it was the exhaustion of a long day, but in the end, as long as you were both happy; who cares, right?

Wizardess Heart MC!
My interpretation of the MC with some pretty noticeable tweaks, most glaringly, her parents aren't just a faceless backdrop sob story!
They have backstories, characters, and their entire fuckshow of a courting deserves it's own damn book considering how insane it all was.
They had to kill multiple people, navigate a Decadent Court for twenty odd years, and fake their deaths before they could settle down to get married, much less have a kid.
Justina Aldebrand and Kaye Verlice were some bad bitches, man. Assuming those are their actual names.
[Yes they're repurposed OC's, no I'm not telling you what fandom these little shits crawled out of, you'd laugh at me.]
I'll get to them later, though, maybe a couple dozen one-shot's surrounding their youth...
Anyway, meet Lyra Verlice the absolute trainwreck that was the result of their union, emotionally constipated and with absolute shit fashion sense, she's probably the local equivalent to The Chosen One, and fuck if she doesn't hate every single solitary moment of it.
A pretty big change from canon, so to speak, is that she attended a preparatory academy, Bedisa Private, before her application to Gedonelune Royal Magic Academy was finally accepted, causing her to, notably, lose her collective shit because Randolph likes playing 'It's Fate' rules and she had to hold all her plans to move upwards to Bedisa's sister college until after the trial period, after which she would either cancel or go through with them depending on her results.
Grateful, yes, but she has half a mind to beat him with a broom when it's revealed.
Her first days at the Academy are actually pretty calm, due to her more solemn nature, even as a child, Joel and her kept in touch over the years, if infrequently, and they help each other throughout the first four or so days without much issue.
And then she meets Luca Orlem, and then everything goes to shit.
It should be noted that, personally, Lyra has no ill will towards Luca years down the line, that doesn't stop the pure, irreverent, rage that boils through her every time she thinks about him in the following weeks and months after the Tower of Sorrow incident.
They'll be good friends one, day, definetly, it it starts with a whole slew of things involving the Spring of Unicorns and near-murder, but that's not for another six months, and this is a now issue, and she's a teen, and she hates this green haired shit more than anyone, or anything, else for a long time.
No romantic attachments happen during that storyline, she's seathing in rage over Luca's preferential treatment and idiocy, Elias and her largely do not interact for most of this entire bullshit, and Yukiya is pretty much firmly put in the little box of 'Oh, Dear God, You Remind Me Far Too Much Of My Father To Ever Be Comfortable With A Relationship' but she does notably mention that he's attractive.
She pretty much makes it into the Academy by the skin of her teeth.
[And she still debates beating Randolph with a broom some weeks later when it comes up that her Rejection of Transfer towards Felixia College papers didn't go through properly.]
Then Joel loses his Magic and suddenly she's scrambling around for an entirely different reason, and things stop making sense pretty damn quickly.
[Meanwhile, everyone and their mother takes one look at Joel Crawford and realizes the boy is fucking gone.
Kids been like since they were six and Lyra gave him one of her rare, bashful, smiles, it's just that, now, the girl recipient to his affections in right in front of him.
Klaus calls him pathetic, Joel threatens to throw Leonelli at his fucking face shortly thereafter.]
And so on, and so forth, everything moves forward quietly progressing through the seasons, with added filler and unique storylines, until the ending date, and you know.
Lyra graduates.
At which point, their might be more, might not, there could even be less!
Who knows?
Certainly not fucking me.
[As an aside I keep imagining Lyra asking Schuyler and Luca why the latter doesn't graduate early and have the start of his world tour begin in a foreign country.]

Seven Last Words of the Unarmed by Joel Thompson
Seven Last Words of the Unarmed is a choral composition in seven movements. Thompson didn't write Seven Last Words of the Unarmed for attention, or even to make a political statement. He didn't think it would be performed at all. It began, simply, as a private expression of his grief.
He was initially inspired by Iranian-American artist Shirin Barghi’s #lastwords project, where he drew from more than a dozen of Barghi’s illustrations containing the dying words of unarmed black men shot and killed by police or other authority figures. Thompson has said that in composing the piece, he "used the liturgical format in Haydn's Seven Last Words of Christ in an effort to humanize these men and to reckon with my identity as a black man in this country in relation to this specific scourge of police brutality. Seven Last Words of Christ has a liturgical structure that represents the final phrases Jesus uttered before dying on the cross. They're intensely human: "My God, why have you forsaken me?" "I'm thirsty." "It is finished."
Thompson finished the piece in the first weeks of 2015 and put it away, "like I did the rest of my pieces," he said. That could have been the end of it. But a few months later, Freddie Gray died in the back of a police car in Baltimore, and the words came rushing back. "It was the same feelings all over again," Thompson said. "And I figured, maybe if I perform it, maybe I would feel like I am doing something about this crisis."
An acquaintance sent Dr. Eugene Rogers, the Grammy Award-winning director of choral activities at the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance the piece, and at first, Rogers tried to ignore it. The subject matter was too raw, and since some people could see it as divisive, he knew it would be a hard sell.
One listen changed his mind. "It moved me so personally, as an African-American man," said Rogers, who was the director of the legendary U-M Men's Glee Club at the time. "I knew I had to present this piece. "Although some were hard to convince at first, he got others at the university to support the project by appealing to the same thing Thompson tried to convey in his music: The universal humanity of the men it honors. Eventually, the school produced a documentary about the piece that told the stories of the men in greater detail and featured several of their families.
The song’s seven movements represent the last words of seven different men:
“Why do you have your guns out?” – Kenneth Chamberlain, 66
“What are you following me for?” – Trayvon Martin, 16
“Mom, I’m going to college.” – Amadou Diallo, 23
“I don’t have a gun. Stop shooting.” – Michael Brown, 18
“You shot me! You shot me!” – Oscar Grant, 22
“It’s not real.” – John Crawford, 22
“I can’t breathe.” – Eric Garner, 43

When will weed be legal on a federal level? When will drug testing for employment be illegal? We hear so much about personal rights with the gun laws and vaccines and masks. What about the right to do what we want with our bodies when we are not at work. Think of the administrative costs that could be saved if we just removed drug testing. Our experience and work ethic should mean more that what we do with our free time. This is not a problem at all companies. There are places in this country where it is near impossible anywhere in your area to get hired without a drug screening. One joint on a random Saturday night could keep someone from a great opportunity. A person in pain who reaches for an edible might miss out on the job that saves their lives.

*****
The Oscars were held on April 25. It was a bit of a yawner and why would a show set themselves up for an awkward end?? There was a commercial from P&G right before the broadcast that stated, “ Widen the screen so we can widen our view.” Nice sentiment. Mank had so many noms and only 2 wins. People looking their best to me were Leslie Odom Jr., Glenn Close, Riz Ahmed, LaKeith Stanfield, Colman Domingo, John Batiste, Mia Neal, Questlove (gold crocs and a mask!), Desmond Roe, Travon Free, Trish Summerville, Marlee Matlin, The Lucas Brothers, Andra Day, Carey Mulligan, Amanda Seyfried, Nicolette Robinson, Regina King and Margot Robbie. Laura Dern looked like Big Bird, there were just too many feathers. Tiara Thomas had feathers but they looked great. Angela Bassett had some power sleeves and Tyer Perry looked like a little boy. Hooray for Emerald Fennell for her win for original screenplay but not sure about the dress. And Viola Davis?? Dana Murray?? Ashley Fox?? Hmm?? Winners seemed to have trouble getting to the stage. They often refused the steps or the walkway and sort of climbed up the side. I did love the intimate setting and it did remind me of the old clips of years before. Sound of metal and Ma Rainey both won. Tyler Perry and for the first time, an organization, the motion picture and television fund, took home the humanitarian award. I was thrilled to see My Octopus Teacher win for Doc. I loved Crip Camp too, that was a hard category. The acting winners went in all directions. Many critics complained that the films were real downers . Nomadland won best picture. Michael Moore put it best I think. Of the films this year, he said, “They force you to look backward with 2021 eyes.”
*****
Why the Fuck do we need a militarized police force?
*****
R.I.P. victims of the multiple mass shootings, victims of police shootings, the crush in Israel, Cosette Brown, Midwin Charles, DMX, Paul Ritter, Ethel Gabriel, G. Gordon Liddy, Buddy Peppenschmidt, Prince Philip, Anne Beatts, Diane Adler, Vartan Gregorian, Monte Hellman, Jim Steinman, Michael Collins, Michael wolf Snyder, Johnny Crawford, Eli Broad and Walter Mondale.

hey gp! love your thoughtful reviews. i've been working my way through your recs and was wondering if you have any updates to your list at post/74663113337? i'm especially intrigued by your mention of performers you had to take out, but was also wondering if you have any more recent faves? thanks so much!
I think I made a similar post updating my recommended videos from that post, but you know what, I can make another! (Though given it’s been six years, I’ve completely forgotten who were the “less common faves” I took out, ha.)
All of these are videos (maybe one day I’ll make a separate post adding audios, but videos are easier right now). Some are old faves, others are newer. Some have links to them in my masterpost, but even the ones that don’t are pretty common, and if they’re not, I’ll note it. Even then, there are streams of Phantom-y bootlegs basically every week and almost all of these videos have been featured there, so even if you can’t find or trade for these, you still have opportunities to view them! Now, onto the videos themselves...
London
March 2019, Thaxton/Mathieson/Taylor: Probably the best video to come out of London in almost a decade, so it gives a great look at the London production as it is now. It also has a fantastic cast: David Thaxton is a very solid Phantom while Kelly Mathieson’s Christine is an absolute standout.
Broadway/National Tour
March 2, 2005, Panaro/Hanson/Cudia (Bway): Breaking the previous rule on not putting in Hugh Panaro, as when that post was made he had not even left. But he’s been gone a while and is getting less mentioned. However, I also put this in for Julie Hanson and John Cudia. This is a video to watch if you want to see a great trio of actors whose interpretations fit together almost perfectly - Panaro providing the slightly nutty Phantom, Hanson a traumatized, child-like Christine, and Cudia her protective guardian.
August 8, 2008, Crivello/Holden/Ragone (Las Vegas): I did not recommend any Vegas videos in the previous post, possibly because neither of the videos available at the time were that great, but now we have this! Absolutely the best video of the Vegas production, a must-see for the little tweaks they did not, not just to the script to shorten it to one act, but to the effects.
February 19, 2014, Grodin/Udine/Jacoby (National Tour): The restaged tour is gone and unlikely to come back, at least for now, so why not watch a video of what it was like? After seeing all the replicas, it makes for a fun time to see all the changes they made and compare it to the original. Plus, watching Grodin’s Phantom makes for a good roast. (You can also watch a video with almost the same cast save for Grace Morgan as Christine; she and Julia Udine are both good, but this one is slightly better filmed IMO.)
September 2018, Crawford/Ewoldt/Johnson (Bway): Probably the best of the recent Broadway videos, gives you a nice sense of what the Broadway production is like right now. Crawford is also the current Broadway Phantom, so you can see what his interpretation is, and Ali Ewoldt is fantastic, plus the first Asian-American Christine on Broadway.
International
Mexico, 2000, Vasconcelos/Terrazas/Joel: Breaking another rule... this video replaces the January 14, 2001 Mexico video, because this one blows it out of the water. Full show, professionally shot for cast and crew, featuring the principal cast all the way, and it is incredible. Saulo Vasconcelos’s Phantom needs to be seen, he does things no other Phantom has ever done. The only downside is that this video is kind of rare, but it gets streamed VERY frequently.
Hungary, 2003, Miller/Kiraly/Hommonay: I’m trying to add more non-replicas to the list, as there’s a real lack of footage and therefore attention given to them. So I’m putting in this one, even though it’s fairly old and also, I believe, from a dress rehearsal, so the actors are a little more laid-back than they would be. But it is the full show and gets you a decent look at it, and Zoltan Miller is probably my favorite of the Hungarian Phantoms, even though he noticeably lowers a lot of the score.
Russia, March 7, 2015, Ermak/Kotova/Zaycev: The Russian production had not even opened when I wrote that post, but I have to recommend something from it, as it was genuinely one of the best productions I’ve seen in recent years: enthusiastic cast, tons of photos, lots of attention from fans, and several great bootlegs. This video is not just one of the best of the production itself, it’s probably one of the best Phantom bootlegs period - great filming with tons of closeups, almost no obstruction, basically the full show, and a terrific cast. It used to be really rare but it’s getting pretty common now.
Denmark, March 2019, Kofod/Glosted/Lund: The Danish productions have always received raves from those who have seen it, but with such a lack of video footage, it never got much attention. That all changed with this boot, and let me tell you, the production deserved it. This has one of the best trios I’ve ever seen, and one of the most vibrant casts in general, where it feels like thought and detail was put into every line, every bit of blocking. Add to the fact that the video itself is great, and you have a highly recommended bootleg.
World Tour, May 23, 2019, Roxmouth/Picerno/Leisy: The only production currently running right now, but I’m also recommending this because it, and Roxmouth’s Phantom, have received massive amounts of attention. (That, and Picerno’s Christine is the current principal on Broadway, so you can have a look at her too.) This video is terrific quality and of the full show, however it does suffer from pretty bad framerate drops, so if you have a tendency to get motion-sick, you might want to refrain from seeing this. But if not, definitely check this video out.

Defend activists and organizers under attack! Defend Black lives!
As the anti-racist uprising of 2020 roiled business as usual in cities across the U.S., many protesters have been hit with severe charges after being arrested for offenses that would normally be considered violations or misdemeanors. Many arrestees are facing possible sentences of years in prison or even life sentences.
In a dangerous attack on our right to protest, Attorney General William Barr in a recent conference call with U.S. attorneys across the country even encouraged sedition charges be widely used against anti-racist protestors. Sedition means conspiracy and intent to overthrow the U.S. government and can result in life imprisonment.
The Socialist Unity Party has issued an appeal to all revolutionary left organizations and activists to unite in defense of those facing repression from the capitalist state and its allies in the white supremacist-fascist movement. (Read the appeal in English or Spanish)
Please share widely. This list will be updated regularly. If you know of a case that should be added, send details to: [email protected].
Here are some important cases and actions that your organization or you as an individual can publicize to help:
San Diego
Denzel Draughn, a well-known San Diego anti-racist activist and supporter of the African People’s Socialist Party, was arrested Aug. 28 at a demonstration in solidarity with the movement in Kenosha, Wis., calling for justice for Jacob Blake, who was shot seven times in the back by police. Draughn is charged based on the ridiculous claim that he pepper-sprayed nine cops. He is facing 19 felony charges as a result. The allegations stem from an incident when a group of demonstrators tried to defend themselves against a violent police assault. Ten people were arrested, but Draughn has been singled out for the harshest treatment. At the request of San Diego cops, his bail is set at the outrageous amount of $750,000 – an amount usually reserved for kidnapping or murder.

Denver
On Sept. 17, police agencies in the Denver area arrested anti-racist organizers in a coordinated assault. Russell Ruch was arrested while in a parking lot at a Home Depot. An hour later, five police cars surrounded and arrested Lillian House while she was driving. That afternoon, S.W.A.T. teams arrived at Joel Northam’s home and arrested him. Eliza Lucero has also been arrested. All four are members of the Party for Socialism and Liberation and organizers of protests to demand justice for Elijah McClain, who was brutally murdered by the Aurora Police Department. They are still in jail, with the exception of one person, and face multiple felony charges and years in prison in an obvious frame-up aimed at stopping the movement for justice for Elijah McClain.
● Emergency Mobilization at the Colorado State Capitol Building in Denver, noon Saturday Sept. 19.
● Sign the petition to drop the charges: https://www.pslweb.org/dropthecharges
● Donate here to the legal and political support campaigns for these organizers: https://www.pslweb.org/donate4denver
Tallahassee, Fla.
On Sept. 5, Tallahassee police and Leon County sheriffs attacked a peaceful Black Lives Matter demonstration. After pulling a Black woman organizer from her car, 300 police attacked around 75-100 protesters. Fourteen were arrested on the spot and five more have been arrested since, including members of the Students for a Democratic Society and Freedom Road Socialist Organization. The majority are facing multiple charges, including felonies, that could result in fines of $10,000 and 10 years in prison. Others face up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine for each misdemeanor they’re charged with. The demonstration was to protest a grand jury decision not to indict the police officers who murdered Tony McDade, Mychael Johnson and Wilburn Woodard. The three were gunned down by Tallahassee police in March and May of this year.

Portland, Ore.
The battle against police racism is raging in Portland. Nightly demonstrations have entered their fourth month. Since the end of May, hundreds have been arrested. In August, hoping to quell the protests, incoming Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt dropped charges against protestors. Demonstrations continued to challenge systemic racism, arrests and brutality continued, and charges have become more severe. On Aug. 27, a news release by the U.S. Attorney’s District of Oregon office announced that it is going ahead with prosecutions of 100 people who were arrested since May, many by Trump’s federal officers. Seventy-four of them are facing felonies that could result in prison sentences of years. A Sept. 5 NPR audit of the felony charges concludes that the actions protestors were accused of and arrested for were minor and should never have resulted in felonies.
● Call the District Attorney’s office at (503) 727-1000 or comment on the U.S. Attorney’s Office District of Oregon website by emailing [email protected] to demand that charges be dropped against anti-racist protesters.
Oklahoma City
In Oklahoma, where the entire Black community of Tulsa was burned in 1919, and where a white supremacist attack killed 168 people in 1995, Oklahoma County District Attorney Lewis Prater has charged three teenagers, Malachai Davis, Haley Lin Crawford and Sydney Lynch – as well as two other participants in protests against the police murder of George Floyd -- with terrorism. The bond amounts for a dozen other arrestees are between $200,000 and $1 million. The harshest treatment has been directed at those arrestees who are African American. Terrorism convictions could mean years or even decades in prison for charges that should have been misdemeanors. In May, DA Prater refused to charge cops who killed Isaiah Lewis during a mental health crisis in September 2019. When 42-year-old Derrick Scott was in custody of Oklahoma City cops in May 2019, he told them he couldn’t breathe and asked for his medicine. The cop’s response was “I don’t care.” Scott died soon afterward, but Prater brought no charges against those cops either. In August of this year, James Harmon was shot in the head by cops, also in Prater’s jurisdiction, and there is no indication that charges will be brought against the cops who killed him.
● Call DA Lewis Prater’s office at (405) 713-1600 and demand he drop all charges against anti-racist protesters and bring charges against killer cops.
Salt Lake City
In Salt Lake City, a group of protestors are charged with felony criminal mischief. District Attorney Sim Gill added a “gang enhancement,” which could mean life sentences for seven people who were protesting Gill’s decision not to file charges against two SLC cops who shot Bernardo Palacios-Carbajal in the back and killed him. Gill justifies the gang enhancement by saying the activists conspired to splash red paint and break the windows of a building. The gang enhancement is an inherently racist feature of the criminal justice system, and the fact that it is being used against people protesting police murders of people of color is a further travesty of justice. More than 30 others in Salt Lake City have been hit with serious charges stemming from recent anti-racist demonstrations, including some felonies.
● Call District Attorney Sim Gill’s office at (358) 468-7600 to demand he drop charges against anti-racist protesters.
Miami
Jonathon Gartrelle, a leading gay, African American, anti-racist activist in Miami, is charged with strong-arm robbery and escape – both felonies – as well as two misdemeanors. Jonathon is accused of removing two Trump flags from parked vehicles and dropping them on the ground while counter-protesting at a pro-Trump caravan. Gartrelle himself was hit by an SUV, which drove away and was not pursued by the cops, who are falsely claiming that Gartrelle declined to press charges. Gartrelle wanted to press charges but refused to go with them in a police cruiser to fill out a report at a precinct.
● Sign the petition: https://www.change.org/p/miami-police-department-justice-for-jonni
● Call Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez-Rundel at (305) 547-0100 to demand she drop charges against Jonathon Gartrelle

The National Theatre revival is the first fully staged major London production of Follies to present the original Broadway version of the show. Sondheim and Goldman revised large parts of the show’s script and score for its 1987 London premiere, toning down the underlying bleakness of the Broadway original, and offering a more hopeful finale for its central characters. Director Dominic Cooke revisited early drafts of Goldman’s script, restoring original dialogue and moments that have not been seen in the production since its 1971 Broadway run.

Staged over a four-day shoot in a rented Union City, NJ theater, the production starred Tony Award®-winning actor Shuler Hensley (Oklahoma) as The Creature and featured Broadway veterans Ivan Rutherford (Les Miserables) as Victor Frankenstein and Rita Harvey (Phantom of the Opera) as Elizabeth. The production was a hybrid of a film and a live show. Shot cinematically out-of-sequence with multiple cameras and without an audience, the show was nonetheless filmed on a single stage with traditional theatrical lighting. The final product was published on DVD in 2002, but only screened privately for potential backers of future productions. - wikipedia Freaky Friday - First National Tour - May 2, 2017 (SunsetBlvd79's master) FORMAT: VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Heidi Blickenstaff (Katherine Blake), Emma Hunton (Ellie Blake), David Jennings (Mike Harper), Chris Ramirez (Adam), Jake Heston Miller (Fletcher Blake), Jessie Hooker-Bailey (Savannah), Jeannette Bayardelle (Journalist/Ms. Meyers/Officer Sitz/Ensemble) NOTES: Excellent HD capture of the new musical on tour, based on the Disney film.

Jealousy. (Joelxreader)
Genre: fluff, maybe a little bit of angst? Idk 😅
Summary: You were hanging out with Vincent and a specific someone (*hint* *hint* It's Joel. 😂) happened to see you, and didn't like it all that much. What was happening the entire Vincent route basically. That happened to lead to some fluffy, cutesy stuff; yeah, you get the point. 😂 That was probably the worst summary ever. Oh well.
Now on with the one shot/imagine 😂:
(This is written in first person point of view. *the reader's point of view*)
It was a sunny day; I had prepared to meet Vincent in the courtyard after class, considering it's been a while since we last hung out together properly; Lately, we've just been greeting each other, and that was it. He was mostly busy with "top secret" business at the ministry while I was busy with classes and studying, so we decided it was time to spend some time together.
I had baked some cupcakes earlier, so we can both eat them together. I walked around the courtyard, searching for my friend, but I couldn't see him anywhere. He's late. I sat down on the grass and patiently waited for him.
After a few minutes, I could see Vincent jogging towards me. He starts panting lightly after stopping right in front of me. "(Y/N), I'm so sorry I'm late! I had some work to do, and I got caught up and ended up being late." He frowns slightly. "It's okay." I gave him a cheerful smile, "I haven't been waiting for long." I assure him. "Really? Thank god." He says more to himself than to me, as he lays down right beside me.
My immediate response was to lay down too; it was something we did a lot after all. "So, how are your studies going?" Vincent looks at me with a gentle smile. "I'm still struggling a bit, but I'm doing a lot better than when I first showed up." I reply honestly. "I'm sure you can get even better." He grins, "I hope so." I sigh. "Oh! I almost forgot!" I sat up quickly. Slowly, Vincent sat up with a confused look on his face. I open up my bag while Vincent tries to peek inside it in curiosity; "What is it?" He asks, "You'll see!" I reply, getting excited.
"I made us cupcakes!" I pull out the small box that had Vincent's cupcake, "Awwhh, you know I don't like sweet things that much, but since you made them, I'm going to have some." He smiles; before I could cheer, he finishes his sentence, "Only if you feed me though." A smirk forms on his face. I felt the heat rise to my face, "Don't be silly; why can't you just eat them yourself?" I look away to hide my embarassment, "I'm tiiirreed; I've been working a lot lately!" He whines. "Please?" He looks at me with semi-pleading eyes, "ugh..fine." I mutter. He grins as I take out the cupcake and look towards him. My face was indeed still burning with embarrassment. Regardless, I still tried to hide it and brought the cupcake to his mouth. He wore a smug expression, clearly proud of how much I was blushing.
"Yup, definitely tastes better when you're the one that baked them AND fed them to me." For how long can he keep that smirk on his face? Yeah, well, we're about to find out. "J-just shut up, okay?!" My face got even more red. He chuckles before taking the cupcake from my hand; his fingers brushing across mine in the process. "That's enough blushing for you today; you're as red as a tomato." He teases before taking a bite out of the cupcake. "That's your fault!" I argue, but he only laughs in response.
"Aren't you going to eat too?" He looks at me, "Oh yeah, I got one for me too!" I say as I take mine out. I eagerly take a bite out of the cupcake and enjoy the taste. Vincent laughs lightly, "What?" I furrow my eyebrows in confusion, "Nothing." He replies. "What is it?" I playfully hit his arm; he laughs before responding, "Nothing. You look cute..and you've got something on your lips." He says. My hand immediately flies up to my lips, "Here?" I ask, "Nope." He shakes his head. "Here? I ask again after moving my hand. "No.." his fingers reach for my chin and lift my face upwards, as he draws closer to my face. "Right..about...here.." he whispers as his face moved closer to mine. He's going to kiss me! His eyes were shut while mine were quickly darting all around the place as if seeking help.
In that moment, I spotted a figure a bunch of feets away. It was Joel! My eyes made contact with his. I couldn't read his expression very well; it was either anger or pain. A few seconds after we made eye contact, he turned around and left.
As if out of instincts, I pushed Vincent away before his lips could touch mine. His eyes shot open, and he stared at me in surprise. "I..I gotta go! It was nice hanging out with you! See you later!" I blurt before grabbing my bag and dashing after Joel who was way ahead of me by now.
"Joel! Joel, wait!" I called out for him when I got closer. He kept walking and ignored me. "Joel! Please, wait!" I call out again, this time more desperately. He takes one more step before stopping. He doesn't turn around, however. My legs come to a halt before I slowly approach him. "Joel?" I ask, tentatively, "What?" He still didn't turn around.
"What's the matter?" I reach for his hand; he flinches a bit but doesn't pull away. "Nothing. Nothing at all." He replies coldly. He tries to complete walking, but I step in front of him and hold his arms, keeping him in place.
"Could you tell me what's wrong?" I look into his eyes, "Does it matter?! Vincent is who you like and care about, right?! So why does it matter if something is wrong?" He asks, annoyance clear in his voice. "But, Joel, you're my friend too! I care about you as well!" I reply. He pauses, looking at me, then proceeds to walk away. "I'm alright. Let's walk you to the dorms before you miss curfew." He replies in dismissal. I refrain from pushing it further. I quietly follow him; there was little distance between us, but we were acting as if the other didn't exist. Something was definitely wrong with him. Before long, we were already in front of the girls' dorms. "Goodnight, (Y/N)." Joel says quietly and turns around to leave. "Wait!" I held onto his sleeve, "Huh?" He looks at my hand then at my face. "Sorry!" I let go, "but..Joel, we've been friends since we were very little..I know when something is wrong with you, and right now...you're not okay.." I say while staring at the ground.
Suddenly, I found myself pushed against a wall. Joel had his hand on the wall near my head, cornering me. "The love of my life was feeding some other guy and kissing him while she considers me her friend. Just her friend. I've been loving her since we were very young, and in the end, I'm just her friend! She'll never see me as anything else. Just her friend. So yes! I'm not okay! And I can barely hold back from kissing her and claiming her as mine and no one else's! But I can't do that! You know why?! Because I'm just her friend!" I could see the anguish in his eyes very clearly. He was angry. He was jealous. But, most of all, he was hurt.
"Goodnight, (Y/N)." His hand slides off the wall, and he turns around and starts leaving. "B-but..but maybe..maybe she loves you too.." I reply quietly. The ground was the only place I could look at, currently. He stops dead in his tracks. "She was kissing another guy. I don't think so." He replies without turning around. "She wasn't. You didn't see her." I defend.
He finally turns around to look at me. It seemed like he was making sure I was serious or if the situation was real. Our eyes met, and we kept staring into each other's eyes for a few moments. "Maybe she loves me too? That's what you said?" A smile was tugging at the corners of his lips; my face started heating up as I realized I just confessed to Joel. "Uh..well..you know.." I started looking everywhere except his eyes.
He starts approaching me; my heart was beating really fast; it felt like it was gonna pop out of my chest. His hand gently touched my cheek; I looked up at him. "Does she like him? As more than just a friend? I need to know." He seemed to already know, but he just had to ask, didn't he?? "She does." I avert my gaze as I blush harder. "I like her too. A lot." Joel grins before slowly bringing his face closer to mine. In contrast to Vincent's time earlier, this time I wasn't trying to get away; I found myself drawing closer and closer until I could feel his lips on mine. After a few moments, we pulled away, grinning.
"I'm really happy you feel that way." He says; his eyes were shining brightly. So brightly that anyone could tell how happy he was. "Me too." I reply. We ended up kissing again. And again. And again. It wasn't until the dorm mother came yelling at us, that we stopped. Now we both have to do extra chores as a punishment...but at least it was a beautiful memory we could both remember and smile at. I wouldn't change anything about it.

Chuck's Daily Check In - 11.22.18
FINAL FROM THE UNITED CENTER: Bulls 124, Phoenix 116. (Bulls 5-13, 3-7 at home)
LEADING SCORER: Bulls: LaVine 29 points. Phoenix: Booker: 23 points. LEADING REBOUNDERS: Bulls: Parker: 13. Phoenix: Ayton: 12. LEADING ASSISTS: Bulls: Parker 8. Phoenix: Booker and Canaan each with 6.
CCI RECAP: The Bulls' franchise talent Zach LaVine took over in the fourth quarter scoring 12 of his game high 29 points as the Bulls ended a four-game slide. The Bulls shot a season high 57% from the field and had six players score in double figures. Jabari Parker flirted with his first ever triple double and finished with a 20-13-8 line. Ryan Arcidiacono buried four triples and once again brought his heart and hustle to the ball club on both ends of the floor. Chandler Hutchison missed the game with back spasms. According to Head Coach Fred Hoiberg, Lauri Markkanen had his "best conditioning workout" on Wednesday. No timetable for Markkanen's return.
CCI GAME BALLS: LaVine, Parker, Arcidiacono and Blakeney. Phoenix: Ayton, Warren, Crawford.
UP NEXT: Home with Miami on Friday.
New York 117, Boston 109: What is going on with the Celtics? Boston is a 9-9 ball club. The Knicks end a six-game losing streak. Trey Burke off the bench scored 29 for the Knicks.
Los Angeles Lakers 109, Cleveland 105: LeBron James returned to Ohio and finished with 32-14-7. The Cavs organization did a fantastic job honoring James' accomplishments as a Cavaliers' player. Cleveland doesn't have James and their record falls to 2-14.
Toronto 124, Atlanta 108: An ironic twist for Vince Carter as he scored his 25,000 career point against the franchise he broke in with in 1998-99. The Raps' Kyle Lowry had a monster game of 21-12-17. Toronto improves to 15-4. Atlanta has lost nine straight and fell to 3-15.
Philadelphia 121, New Orleans 120: Joel Embiid filled up the stat sheet with a 31 points, 19 rebounds game. Twelve times this season, Embiid has reached at least 30 points and 15 rebounds. Anthony Davis missed a free throw with 2.5 seconds left that would have tied the game for the Pelicans.
Charlotte 127, Indiana 106: Kemba Walker dished out 11 assists.
Houston 126, Detroit 124 James Harden poured in a season-high 43 points. The Rockets have won 8 out of its last 10 games.
Milwaukee 143, Portland 100: The score says it all.
Denver 103, Minnesota 101: The Nuggets were desperate for a win and they got one. Paul Milsap with a 25-5-5 game.
Dallas 119, Brooklyn 113: The Mavs have won five straight in Dallas. Barnes and Doncic combined for 49 points.
Memphis 104, San Antonio 103: Marc Gasol with big time onions hitting two free throws with 0.7 seconds left. Mike Conley added 30 points. Memphis now seven games over.500. The Spurs drop to 8-9.
Sacramento 119, Utah 110: The Kings went on a 16-1 run late in the fourth quarter. Sacramento goes to 10-8. The Jazz surprisingly now 8-10.
OKC 123, Golden State 95: Russell Westbrook notched a triple double. Golden State played without Green and Curry. OKC's Hamidou Diallo was carted off on a stretcher in the fourth quarter but avoided a serious injury according to the team.
Caught up with the veteran "Voice of the Suns" the legendary Al McCoy who is respected by everyone in the NBA. Al is an energetic 86 years young. I would love to be calling Bulls games at 86. I'm serious!
To my faithful readers, I want to extend a Happy Thanksgiving to you and I sincerely appreciate your support and encouragement.
