What If Scenario. The Pandemic never happened, but the renovations at Her Majesty’s eventually did. During that time, they put together a concert-like production of Phantom like they did with Les Mis in 2019. Who would you have cast in each part? Feel free to include Ensemble & Understudies

I think I answered something very similar before where I said that I'd love to have had an international celebration, with recent, fan-favorite, or long-running members from productions all over the world given an opportunity to perform and do, like, one song each, along with the then-current cast at the time. So I guess it might be something like:

Phantom: Josh Piterman (London), Ben Crawford (Broadway), Derrick Davis (national tour), Osamu Takai (Japan), Alexander Goebel (Vienna), Colm Wilkinson (Toronto), Peter Karrie (Canadian tour), Peter Joback (Stockholm), Ian Jon Bourg (Germany), Anthony Warlow (Australia), Henk Poort (Scheveningen), Juan Navarro (Mexico City), Hans Peter Janssens (Antwerp), Tomas Ambt Kofod (Copenhagen), Hong Kwang Ho (Seoul), Juan Carlos Barona (Madrid), Sandor Sasvari (Budapest), Saulo Vasconcelos (Sao Paulo), Damian Aleksander (Poland), Carlos Vittori (Buenos Aires), Marian Vojtko (Prague), Stephen Brandt Hansen (Estonia), Ivan Ozhogin (Moscow), Ilkka Hamalainen (Helsinki), Adrian Nour (Bucharest), Nikola Bulatovic (Belgrade), Vladimir Grudkov (Sofia), Jonathan Roxmouth (World Tour), Espen Grjotheim (Oslo), Ben Forster (Greece), Killian Donnelly (UK Tour)

Christine: Kelly Mathieson (London), Meghan Picerno (Broadway), Emma Grimsley (national tour), Sae Yamamoto (Japan), Luzia Nistler (Vienna), Rebecca Caine (Toronto), Teresa DeZarn (Canadian tour), Emmi Christensson (Stockholm), Valerie Link (Germany), Ana Marina (Australia), Joke de Kruijf (Scheveningen), Irasema Terrazas (Mexico City), Inneke van Klinken (Antwerp), Sibylle Glosted (Copenhagen), Kim So Hyun (Seoul), Julia Moller (Madrid), Barbara Fonyo (Budapest), Lina Mendes (Sao Paulo), Edyta Krzemien (Poland), Claudia Cota (Buenos Aires), Monika Sommerova (Prague), Maria Listra (Estonia), Tamara Kotova (Moscow), Sofie Asplund (Helsinki), Irina Baiant (Bucharest), Mirjana Matic (Belgrade), Vesela Delcheva (Sofia), Claire Lyon (World Tour), Astrid Giske (Oslo), Amy Manford (Greece), Holly-Anne Hull (UK Tour)

Raoul: Danny Whitehead (London), John Riddle (Broadway), Michael Maliakel (national tour), Kanji Ishimaru (Japan), Thorsten Tinney (Vienna), Laird Mackintosh (Toronto), Kip Wilborne (Canadian tour), Anton Zetterholm (Stockholm), Nicky Wuchinger (Germany), Alexander Lewis (Australia), Peter de Smet (Scheveningen), someone who's not Jose Joel (Mexico City), Michael Shawn Lewis (Antwerp), Christian Lund (Copenhagen), Son Jun Ho (Seoul), Armando Pita (Madrid), Zoltan Miller (Budapest), Nando Prado (Sao Paulo), Marcin Mrozinski (Poland), Nicholas Martinelli (Buenos Aires), Tomas Vanek (Prague), Koit Toome (Estonia), Evgeny Zaycev (Moscow), John Martin Bengtsson (Helsinki), Florin Ristei (Bucharest), Slaven Doslo (Belgrade), Denko Prodanov (Sofia), Matt Leisy (World Tour), Carl Lindquist (Oslo), Nadim Naaman (Greece), Rhys Whitfield (UK Tour)

Is that way too many cast members? Probably! Are there even enough scenes for each of them to perform together? Unlikely! Did I give up doing supporting, ensemble, and understudies because it was too exhausting? Definitely! Do I even know who some of these people are or if they want to come back at all? Not really!

But you have to admit - it's a huge and very international cast!

Domingo a ultima etapa de 2023

Com a Andretti não conseguindo arrumar o arrumar o carro por causa do acidente no sábado a última etapa desse ano teve 9 carros no grid participando já que a ABT Cupra conseguiu arrumar o carro após o acidente no Q2.

Das equipes ainda tinham chances remotas de titulo a Hummer EV Chip Ganassi Racing ,deu a deus até de terminar em 4º por ter não se classficado para a final e a diferança para a X44 Vida Carbon Racing ser de 1 ponto de 105 a 104 pontos  e indo para a redemption race, que foi a despedida da Lia Block da categoria já que em 2024 ela vai correr na F1 Academy pela ART Gran Prix, infelizmente não correndo por ter quebrado o carro da Carl Cox Motorsport antes da troca de pilotos.

 No Q1 na corrida 1 a Mclaren ganhou tirando um ponto da vitória , ajudando de certa forma a Aciona Sainz, já que quem terminou em segundo foi a Rosberg x Racing.

Na corrida 2  do Q1 a vitória foi da Aciona Sainz tirando a diferença dos lideres do campeonato para 5 pontos, no Q2 as vitórias foram da X44 Vida Carbon Racing e Veloce Racing que tiraram a diferença dos lideres.

 A “Final “ do campeonato no inicio a Rosberg x Racing começou em último e teve que até fazer uma parada extra nos boxes e trocar um pneus furado e  na maior parte da corrida Aciona esteva com a mão na taça más na ousadia tentando passar a Molly Taylor com o carro da Veloce , Laia Sanz “jogou o titulo no ralo” caindo o titulo nas mãos da Rosberg x Racing que terminou a etapa final em segundo lugar conseguindo o seu bicampeonato  com problemas da Mclaren, Aciona e X44 Vida Carbon Racing.

A temporada de 2023 da Extreme E foi a melhor até agora pelo novo formato estilo rallycross de classificação com duas baterias divido em 2 grupos de 5 carros, com 4 voltas e o campeonato inteiro em formato de rodadas duplas, na visão dos fans da categoria por demorar pelo menos um mês entre uma etapa e outra o que foi um ponto positivo, o que fez muito embaralhar a classificação do campeonato entre um dia e outro.

Uma pequena critica a organização porque não fazer as corridas do Q2 com um intervalo de 1h30 e passar ao vivo tanto pelo Youtube e na TV. Em 2024 a categoria ganha o estatus de  mundial Fia , visando a Extreme H que começa em 2025, até por isso a calendário da próxima temporada deve começar depois do Dakar rally e o rally de Monte Carlo, provavelmente a partir de fevereiro,e espero que em 2024 possa ter a tão esperada etapa no Brasil o “Amazon X-Prix” em Santarém  no Pará.

Na última quarta feira tivemos a infeliz noticia que a equipe Alemã ABT Cupra vai se retirar da categoria em foco a Formula E em 2024, más já deixando um possível retorno ao Off Road na Extreme H em 2025.

A categoria esta com dificuldades em ter o grid tão sonhado de 12 carros desde sua criação, primeiro com 9 carros em 2021, depois para 10 carros em 2022 e 2023 , no inicio do ano na temporada de 2023 primeiro com a perda da Xite Energy Racing e agora a  perda da ABT Cupra para 2024, até  na última temporada poderia ter a entrada da 11ª equipe Australiana  XE Sports Group que provavelmente terá o patrocinador a BYD (marca Chinesa de carros elétricos) que adiou em um ano sua entrada , poderá ser a 10ª equipe na temporada de 2024.

My 52 Favourite Films of the Decade 2010-2019: The Complete List

Random stats:

52 movies chosen directed by a total of 57 directors. 5 directing duos, 4 of which consisted of a woman-man directing duo. Only 1 directing duo was made up of 2 women.

American cinema dominated with 28 films. I went with the country listings as provided by IMDB which leads to some strange results like how 2 Days in New York, filmed and set entirely in NYC is not a U.S. production but Wadjda, filmed entirely in Saudi Arabia is (it’s something to do with who gives money, don’t ask me how it’s calculated). This was followed by French cinema with 10 films and Israeli cinema (4 films) and then a smattering of other countries. 

15 directorial debuts. The high number didn’t surprise me so much. Studies have been done and it’s often much harder for women directors to make a second film than make their debut. Actually when it comes to the debut directors on my list about half have had runaway success and put out at least one or more films already, a handful have moved into TV work and a handful seem to have disappeared which is depressing.  What did please me is how many films were 3rd, 4th, 10th or more films proving that there are women directors with long careers who just keep getting better. 

5 documentaries. I always think of myself as someone who doesn’t like documentaries so this seemed surprisingly high for me.

2 sequels both of which I liked better than their predecessors and both of which I think stand completely on their own.

2 films by directors who are no longer with us. Thank you Agnès Varda and Ronit Elkabetz.

0 repeat directors. This mostly worked out that way naturally. The directors who came the closest to having 2 films on the list were Debra Granik (Winter’s Bone missed out) and Céline Sciamma (for Girlhood), both of which were ultimately fairly easy to cut.

The List:

2 Days in New York dir. Julie Delpy (2012)

Amour Fou dir. Jessica Hausner (2014)

The Babadook dir. Jennifer Kent (2014)

Beach Rats dir. Eliza Hittman (2017)

WORST MOVIES OF 2020

1.     Angry Asian Murder Hornets Director: Dustin Ferguson Cast: Clint Beaver, Jarad Allen, Elizabeth Barstow Critic’s Notes: There have been many cheap COVID-exploitation movies that popped out last year. And this is perhaps the worst since its less-than-80-minutes running time is filled with disconnected old trailers and ads.   2.     Artemis Fowl Director: Kenneth Branagh Cast: Ferdia Shaw, Lara McDonnell, Josh Gad, Tamara Smart, Nonso Anozie. Colin Farrell, Judi Dench Critic’s Notes: Eion Colfer’s YA series is an intriguing antihero’s journey. So, of course, Disney butchered its adaptation with a hastily packaged fantasy that diluted Artemis’ menacing personality and failed capturing its “Die Hard with fairies” setup.   3.     Bobbleheads The Movie Director: Kirk Wise Cast: Cher, Jennifer Coolidge, Hala Finley, Karen Fukuhara, Khary Payton, Julian Sands, Brenda Song, Luke Wilson Critic’s Notes: From the producers of Foodfight. It is what you expect. But this is more painful to watch, as it contains the most nightmare-inducing final dance scene in an animated movie.   4.     Dolittle Director: Stephen Gaghan Cast: Robert Downey Jr., Antonio Banderas, Michael Sheen, Emma Thompson, Rami Malek, John Cena, Kumail Nanjiani, Octavia Spencer, Tom Holland, Craig Robinson, Ralph Fiennes, Selena Gomez, Marion Cotillard, Jason Mantzoukas Critic’s Notes: With cast and prestige like that, one can expect a true Oscar caliber. However, it is in a family adventure bomb with an embarrassed Downey Jr. phoning it in.   5.     Fantasy Island Director: Jeff Wadlow Cast: Michael Peña, Maggie Q, Lucy Hale, Austin Stowell, Jimmy O. Yang, Ryan Hansen, Portia Doubleday, Michael Rooker Critic’s Notes: Blumhouse’s take on the classic Ricardo Montalban TV series does not bear its charm or subtleties. Instead, expect a snore-worthy version of Truth Or Dare.   6.     Force of Nature Director: Michael Polish Cast: Emile Hirsch, Kate Bosworth, Mel Gibson, David Zayas, Stephanie Cayo Critic’s Notes: Force of Nature makes The Hurricane Heist look like The Impossible. And the presence of one Mel Gibson makes it a droning sit.   7.     Homeward Director: Michael Johnson Cast: Joey Lawrence, James Cullen Bressack, Kim Little, D.C. Douglas, Dylan Vox, Jamey Rimawi, Tom Green Critic’s Notes: Of course, The Asylum is active in bringing mockbusters. And out of their animated rip-offs, Homeward bears the most egregious resemblance to its superior source, Onward.   8.     Songbird Director: Adam Mason Cast: KJ Apa, Sofia Carson, Craig Robinson, Bradley Whitford, Peter Stormare, Alexandra Daddario, Paul Walter Hauser, Demi Moore Critic’s Notes: This is Michael Bay’s COVID-exploitation movie. So, it obviously contains numbing action scenes and tedious subplots in-between. Plus, given the situation, Songbird is tasteless.   9.     The Last Days of American Crime Director: Olivier Megaton Cast: Édgar Ramírez, Michael Pitt, Anna Brewster, Patrick Bergin, Sharlto Copley Critic’s Notes: There have been many movies last year that were released in bad timing. This actioner that glorifies its lawless violence is one of them. And it is best left rotting.

10.  The Last Thing He Wanted Director: Dee Rees Cast: Anne Hathaway, Ben Affleck, Rosie Perez, Edi Gathegi, Mel Rodriguez. Toby Jones, Willem Dafoe Critic’s Notes: A pure disappointment, given the huge talent on and behind the camera, The Last Thing He Wanted adapted an enriching source material about journalism and does nothing with it. Ironically, the title is enough a sign. Dishonorable Mentions: Christmas in the Rockies, Come Away, A Fall From Grace, Hillbilly Elegy, Wild Mountain Thyme

I forgot why I stopped looking at comments during Chris Hansen’s interviews about Onision cause half the time people (especially tonight) wanna act like clowns. 🙄 He hurt Tamara badly and fucked them up and yet people wanna act like clowns.

God I can go a WHOLE ASS RANT about those woke assholes like John Swan dawn fuck whatever his name is and MIZZZ “I wanna tell everyone in the FB gig harbor about Greg and Kai and I wanna hunt down Julie but now the anti-os are the clowns”HEENZLEY. Pretty sure Nick the dick Doritos or whatever Orion who cares is part of it too. So many people on Twitter(not shocking) are fucking clowns when it comes to the Onision drama. They wanna fucking ignore the shit gregs done and focus on Chris’ flaws: which yes they have every right to but to do it to the point where they’re almost acting like gregs a victim? Fuck off. To ignore all the shit gregs done just to shit ok Chris? Come on. And to fucking act all WOKE and shit by making up false claims about shit? Like Jesus fuck. Like I don’t like Tamera personally but fuck man, no doubt she’s a little fucked up dealing with gregs shit and she’s over here, legit was a fan for many years she has inside knowledge and can give perspective on how he was like. But nah people wanna be goddamn clowns.
