She said "Antonio BandARas". Have I been mispronouncing it all this time? -

Patti LuPone hated the role: β βEvitaβ was the worst experience of my life,β she said. βI was screaming my way through a part that could only have been written by a man who hates women." -

Yes, Che is the commentator/audience representative. His whole thing through the show is to inject doses of reality in the fantasy bubble Eva and Juan are trying to build. [media=''] [/media] -

Serious question. I've never seen Desperately Seeking Susan. Is it any good? I've heard Madonna was very good in that. -

Amazon U.S. has it for rent or purchase. So does YouTube/Google Play. I haven't checked iTunes. -

Another Alan Parker film. Guess this means I HAVE to pick The Commitments when it's my turn. -

I saw it when it came out but don't remember much. I do remember the song specially written for it called (I think) You Must Love Me. -

I live in Delaware and that's how the city here pronounces it. It apparently was also spelled that way originally but I can't find confirmation of that. There is this mural though... -
Musical Mondays Week 34 Alice in WonderlandThrough the Looking Glass (1985)
Cinco DeNio replied to Cameron H.'s topic in How Did This Get Made?
Side note: I never realized the "6 impossible things" from Hitchhiker's Guide was a reference to Alice in Wonderland until I saw a motivational fridge magnet with the original quote. Now off to breakfast at Milliways, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe! -
So much for that Johnny Mnemonic sequel we were hoping for... http://variety.com/2018/film/news/takeshi-kitano-leaving-office-kitano-1202726257/

Apologies as you are correct. I should have learned to follow the white rabbit by now. (Side note: I watched Johnny Mnemonic instead and have a LOT of Matrix notes.) -

In that case Sid Caesar should have played the King of Hearts. -

I do remember seeing part of the tea party but not specifics. I'll drop some acid and try watching it again. I was thinking this was almost like the Star Wars Christmas Special where they just pushed stars in without much thought as to their talents or how they would fit in the story. -

THANK YOU!!! That sheds so much light on the story. Guess I should have read it at some point. :-) I wondered why the focus on growing and shrinking. She's a kind of Goldilocks, trying on different sizes and learning the benefits and perils of each, until she discovers where she is right now is "just right". Awesome description Cameron H.! -

I saw Jayne Meadows' credit first and then saw the songs were by Steve Allen. It's wrong but I admit I wondered if it was a case of "I'll write the songs if you put my wife in the cast." I like her in other things I've seen. Was she any good? -

I apologize to The Triple Lindy and all but I couldn't get through the first part. She is in the March Hare's house, kicks Bill out of the chimney and shortly after something else happens. It doesn't go right (like everything else up to that point) and she says "I quit". That was a good spot for me too. Up above someone mentions her portrayed as an idiot. I just saw her as a domineering brat. I know it's all absurd fantasy but I had trouble in several spots. One, kicking the guy out of the chimney. Why? He wasn't doing her any harm. (Also, just shoving your foot into the fireplace isn't likely to propel someone up and out.) She went to the March Hare's house in the first place out of some sort of guilt or duty to get his gloves and fan. (Did the original March Hare have a fan? I don't remember ever seeing one in the various adaptations.) She kicks Bill out of the chimney and then leaves the house and walks off, without the gloves and fan AND in the opposiite direction from where she came in! The fan itself was a problem for me too. At one point earlier she's fanning herself and starts shrinking. She deduces the fan made her shrink. Yet a short time later she's way too big and fretting how she'll get small again. She still had the fan! All the exposition got to me as well, especially from Alice. All her actions were stated but had little backing. "Well, I suppose I should do this." "I need to do this now." "You're horrible for making me do this!" and so on. Last one: How did the March Hare (I thought it was supposed to be the Mad Hatter?) get into the real world in the first place? As soon as Alice stepped through the blue portal she started falling. She could see the Hare/Hatter landing before her and running off. Does/did he levitate up to exit the portal into Alice's land? Seems like too big a climb to make and still have immaculate clothes and fur. (Yes, I'm aware this is a fantasy.) -
