Dug up

Can I be completely honest? I've been dreading the musicals. I haven't liked them since I was a little kid and there was singing in every movie that I saw. Class is class though.

I gotta say I dig the coin outfits! Haha ZOOM!!!!! we lost a little bit of focus though.

The Ragtime is on par though! I hope we keep up this sense of swing!

Hahah STOP!!!! MILK THIEF!!!!

Our dialogue is solid though. Same clever brand of humor.

Ok I know that they are trying to make it seem like these musical numbers would be possible in everyday life but if that was true these people would be mad creepy. How many girls have we tried to woo by singing out your window huh buddy? The days before myspace were awfully charming.

I saw this happen in Calendar Girl. Guy plays music out of window that becomes the theme for the whole movie. Here we go.

Hahaha oh god, I can't handle this guy. Oh my dreams flew up into the clouds romance just passes me by. Bring back the jazz.

The Big Parade of Tears! Ok...if the wailing is good.

I'll make them laugh at you starving! That's a hell of a line!

This guy is the Charmer of the century! Yes, I sing and write and I'm putting up 15,000 for a show.

There's a well composed scene of anxious waiting when they're waiting for brad. There's close shots of elements of tension. It impacts the viewer pretty well.

The New AllStars Revue. That's a sweet name!

I dunno, this movie is altogether too predictable. Ohh the lead man is out, you'll have to go on! You're the only person who knows the part and there's no understudies! I hope there's a twist at the end of this somewhere. I'll be disappointed if this movie goes as I predict.

Ah god where's no wailing here. There isn't even jazz. This is Do-Wop or whatever they call it. It's like jazz's indistinguishable and uninteresting cousin. It's all based on a simple melody that progresses though different variations and climaxes by the returning to the original phrase. What does this have to do with the depression??? I'm so Disappointed! This is like a gap commercial featuring one of the little rascals. I want write a musical now just to do this right. What happened to blues about starving to death??? That was inspiring, this music lacks a grungy feel. This guy needs to stop writing music and be a banker, or give up all this money and start writing actual music about the depression.

How dare you write musicals instead of bank! The board doesn't approve! How ridiculous. I guess the older brother role had to be old school upperclass snob, but come on. Aren't we going a little too far.

Did that bellhop work for disney? Wasn't he the snake in jungle book?

We're MEN! and we don't succumb to feminine allure! Hah dang happens to me all time. Why?Because they're girls not harpies.

Dang ok we're on identity mixups. This is an old trick, you would think that the older brother would be able to tell immediately who his younger brother actually loved. I guess you have to be pretty thick

You're obviously a girl of breeding! That's terrible, worst pick up line ever!

I like that the J. Lawrence and Carol are both playing each other. Their chemistry is the strongest despite the situation. Cheap and Vulgar!! Lawrence is the biggest goon in the world though. His lines are priceless. I couldn't think of worse things to say to a girl. Maybe he doesn't deserve the best girl in the movie.

Brad's kind of messed up. Framing his own brother like that is a little low. You have to have family's back. There's a darker side to his character then I expected to see. I really don't like Brad actually. I think he's corny. Carol is my favorite character for sure. She's gorgeous and intellectual. She hangs Lawrence's check on the wall to remind herself not to get involved with his type of people! That's a coolheaded move, you have you command respect to get it and she does.

I will gush over the violin dance sequence it is a beautiful capture. Black background, white dresses, reflective pools and light up violins! Yup, I think so.

Remember my forgotten man came out alright. The lyrics are kind weak, but the brass back up does a good job and the rhythm is composed of the right air. The Chorus does it for me though, it captures the down and out feeling of the depression. Jesus what it would look like to see a man starving on the corner with his army medals still on his coat.

This play became quite the spectacle. I would have gone to see it if I had the chance. Even if it was a play about being poor written by a rich guy.
