Musical Mondays Week 29 Preview (EvRoberts’ 2nd Pick)

[PollyDarton 1807]

Serious question. Should we read the play first and then watch or take the movie as is?

 

It's probably not worth it, unless you are just wanting to get a complete understanding of how they adapted it.

I worked on a production of LLL many years ago. If I remember correctly, the prince has banished women from his kingdom, but then a princess and her ladies show up and want to hang... there's love letters and identity mix ups... There's a play within a play and at some point the Prince and his bros dress up like Russians in a hilarious ruse to observe the women... which the ladies figure out pretty quickly. The production I worked on was pretty delightful... set in the '20s and everyone looked like silent movie actors.

Aw now I wish SLC Punk was a musical cause I'd love to revisit and discuss that.

Have you seen the sequel? I’ve heard it was terrible...

Why would I sully a good movie with something like that?

I bought this on Vudu last night and watched the trailer. I think I definitely want to go in blind and take the movie as is first. I already own all the plays on my Kindle account so I can read that later.

I just found out Skyline got a sequel last year. I liked the original and enjoyed the podcast ep. Would like to see them do a follow-up on the sequel.

I just saw that the other day, too. I was like “Is that ‘Skyline’ Skyline?”

Beyond Skyline

It was the headlining movie of a small sci-fest fest called Other Worlds Austin last year, and I heard a lot of praise for it. Also, I'm on board with anything that has Frank Grillo, Iko Uwais, and Yayan Ruhian.

Boyet!!! That sequence at the end always gets me...
