January, 2024: Bertolt Brecht's The Threepenny Opera enters public domain.

Me: Grabs my computer and resumes work on the girl power/sisterhood/women-supporting-women play inspired by it that I've put on hold since 2019.

Screenwriter in the 50s: you know what would be a hilarious plot point? If some schmuck totally misinterpreted the Rape of the Sabine Women

Second screenwriter: Can he sing an absolute banger about it?

Third screenwriter: oh it's a musical? I was picturing a Western.

Howard Keel, kicking down the door: A MUSICAL WESTERN, YOU SAY?

The Sound of Music

Hi! Thanks for the ask! So sorry for the late reply, but here are my thoughts on the same-

So, I loved the music of Sound of Music, but mostly the underrated and less popular tunes (like I've Got Confidence and Something Good), I loved the whole heartwarming premise where grief dissipates when a person comes along and stirs things up. I also liked the idea that just because you hear or see something appealing which really doesn't match your personality, doesn't mean you jump into it (like Maria and the reason why she became a nun), or even that the easy way to forgo your (unrequited) feelings is to run away and hurt someone else.

One thing that really hasn't aged well, at least for me on later rewatches, is Maria and Captain Von Trapp's love story- I really don't like the whole personal and professional boundaries mixing together, as also seen in The Nanny TV show, but it's quite a popular trope, in both fiction and reality.

Anyway, I'm so sorry that this is incredibly short, but I hope you like this ask and my thoughts.

P.S. I enjoyed Julia Andrews in Thoroughly Modern Millie than in this movie

I actually haven’t seen Bugsy Malone since I was a kid. Used to watch it all the time when I was wee: it’s kinda making me want to revisit it now. This and Blues Brothers are me fave musicals. The music in both is great. And they’re actually quite similar films if you think about it. With the comedy and the endings which just go all out nuts. Ha.

Today in Fandom History: June 10

Fandom: Actors

June 10, 1922, Judy Garland was born. If for nothing else, you will recognize this woman for her role as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, which was the adaptation of L. Frank Baum’s book published in 1900. But the triple threat star was in more than you may realize. Garland was in Meet Me in St Louis where she would do the original vocals for “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” which was written for that movie. She would also be in the original A Star is Born, Easter Parade, In The Good Old Summer Time, For Me and My Gal, Babes in Arms, and The Pirate (which has Gene Kelly so I need to watch it!!!) She also would run her own television show, oh so geniusly titled The Judy Garland Show, which would run for 25 episodes. Garland would be nominated for two Oscars, three Emmys, and a BAFTA. She would win two Golden Globes, three Grammys, a Golden Laurel, three OFTAs, and as of 1960 she has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Garland would pass away at the all too young age of 47 of a drug overdose after battling addiction for many years. Happy what would have been 100th birthday Judy Garland. And much thanks for filling my childhood and others with so many beautiful musicals.

Question: Has anyone watched the Judy Garland show before, and would you recommend it?

Probably my favorite in-joke in Season 2 of Schmicago is when Josh's in jail and the criminals are denying that they committed the crimes of which they're accused, and the guy in the gold suit goes "And I never touched that girl," and Topher goes "I believe you too, Conrad" - it's a reference to the stage version of Bye Bye Birdie, when the rock n' roll star Conrad Birdie almost gets arrested for supposedly ravishing Kim MacAfee (but it's a misunderstanding and nothing happened between them). Bye Bye Birdie is an adorable show, btw. :)
