Favourite Shakespeare rendition seen was a local production of Twelfth Night that was fall-off-the-chair hilarious. extra songs were written for it by a local songwriter, and the audience were seated in a circle around a bare floor areawhere the play was performed. This allowed a lot more audience participation than many of us expected (at one point, for instance, Sir Andrew hid behind a woman in the front row and tried to get her to fight a swordfight for him). As to branagh, he clearly loves Shakespeare's work and treats it as living work rather than as something sacrosanct That Must Not Be Meddled With, so I'm willing to forrgive him some excesses for that, but the shouting point is right - there's too much bluster in a lot of what he does.

The name probably means nothing to you, but anyone who saw Peter Jackson's early film "Heavenly Creatures" will know him as the father who sings to a dead fish early in the movie. He was perfect as Malvolio, gangly and solemn and with the kind of frightening forced grin that is just right for the part. On other local celeb news, I bumped into Martin Phillipps at an art exhibition opening on Friday, where we got talking about (of all things) the Holy Modal Rounders. As far as his own music is concerned, there is some form of Chills EP or mini-album in the pipeline, but funding for it is the problem after recent problems with a gig in Christchurch (it seems that the Chills were booked, then Scribe - NZ's current chart-topping1 hip-hop act - became available, so the organisers booked them as a replacement without informing the Chills). Some kind of legal action may be pending, but whatever the situation, the band is out of pocket. There are hopes that gigs in Auckland shortly may ease the problem enough for the recording to reach fruition. Martin also says there is soem material that he and David Kilgour have done under the Heavy Eights name around, but not yet at the stage where it is going to be released any time soon (if ever). The best news is how healthy and active he looks these days. Looks like all remnants of the hepatitis he suffered have long gone, and that things are moving in the right direction (finances notwithstanding) with the music.

You're right. I also have to qualify my statement, because I haven't seen all that much Shakespeare on the stage.

Recording in mono (something that the MZR-30 allows) does give you double-length discs, but I've found, too, that if you whack one of the mics you lose signal in both channels. I've made the mistake once or twice and now only record in stereo. >And now for something completely different...... >Record to you iPaq or other Pocket PC device in 24 bit! >http://www.core-sound.com/HighResRecorderNews.html Nifty.

The Ethan Hawke one was pretty good, if more interesting than accomplished when push comes to shove. Bill Murray did a good job as Polonius. Hmmm...Zefferelli's Romeo and Juliet was wonderful (although I am also a fan of Baz Luhrman's version). However, with Zeff's Hamlet with Mel Gibson I do think Alan Bates as Claudius was THE brilliant role of the whole thing. I've always wondered what it was like on the set - MG a rabid antigay conservative and Zeff packing his films with as many boys in tights and codpieces as possible. RIII done by Ian McKlellen (sp?) - That was a beautiful piece of work! And I had the fortune to see it on the stage first. However, Al Pacino's Looking For Richard was also a great watch. Following his version of RIII acted out in rehersals, readings, informal meetings and on set, not stage, as it was performed at the Cloisters in NYC. These snippets, along with his questioning bus drivers if they read Shakespeare, create a lovely complete play by the end of the film. I quite enjoyed it. And then there's Polanski's MacBeth. Or Taymor's Titus. Both stunning, stark, really well done. Saw a terrifics "RIII meets The Road Warrior" looking production with a lovely waif of a woman who came quietly on stage every time a person died and, behind the action, placed a white mask on the edge of the stage. By the end of the play, of course, the effect was stunning. There was also a very funny Midsummer Nights Dream at an outdoor theater where most of the performers were with the Pickle Family Circus. Quite a lively show with all the fairies on trapese. As for Branagh: I did enjoy his Henry V but found it pretty arrogant that right after the film he published an autobiography - at 28 years old no less! I saw his Hamlet when it opened and had high hopes but there were so many problems that I felt, I don't know, cheated somehow. And the length did not bother me at all. Hamlet, complete and with every scene in place - that was a bold move! But it was a production disaster IMHO. And did I saw he shouts his lines?? However, Branagh's Iago in Parker's Othello - now THAT was good. - - carrie ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2003 11:17:37 -0800 From: Eb Subject: Re: Largo 11/22 >started with the entire second side of Avalon by Roxy Music >The Main Thing >Take A Chance With Me >Anything to Turn You On [To Turn You On] >True To Life Get OVER it, Robyn.

Having shared a hometown with Lucinda for nine years as well as some mutual friends, and being around her at shows (some where she was a performer, some where she was a fellow audience member), um... well, to stop short of repeating hearsay or basing too much on distant observation (even if sometimes the distance was under 10 feet), not to mention running afoul of libel laws, I'll simply offer this: even if you were Conveniently Single or Theoretically Excused, this whole Lucinda thing is almost certainly best left as fantasy. When she did "Those Three Days" opening for Neil Young in St. Louis, I couldn't help but think "well, that's probably the best-case timeframe." But hey, she's been living in Hollywood for what, about eighteen months now? So she's conveniently located to you, and since she burns through bandmembers and boyfriends, it's probably just a matter of time before she needs another L.A.-based tour guitarist... >Okay, so here's the shit shit shit part of the e-mail.

I bet you're pretty lonely with that opinion ... I think he has the greatest voice. But I also liked Michael O'Hare in B5 - he may not be much of an actor, but I like his portrayal of a brooding captain.

Actually, I have no idea whether I'm lonely with it or not. As I was saying to Jeffrey in another (off-list) conversation, I'm just an amateur geek -- I have little to no desire to immerse myself in fan sites for TV shows or movies, memorize episode titles, buy the schematics so I can know how many men's rooms were on the Enterprise VI-X-2(F), etc. Not that you need to immerse yourself in that to have an opinion on Avery Brooks' acting on DS9, I'm just sayin' that I haven't the foggiest notion what Star Trek fans in general think of him. >I think he has the >greatest voice. I think a lot of actors with resonant, distinctive voices get overrated as actors (see also: James Earl Jones, Sean Connery) because people equate having a good voice with being a good actor. It's a subset of that observation someone made a few years ago that the people who are most often recognized as good actors tend to overact, whereas people who look and sound completely natural on camera (two who come to my mind very quickly are James Garner and HOMICIDE's Clark Johnson) are usually underrated. >In general I'm surprised at how critical you all are WRT to actors. It's >not that easy ... No, it's not. But to me, the infuriating thing is that for every wooden delivery, for every person holding down a job based on celeb cache more than talent (yer Heather Locklears, yer Charlie Sheens, yer Brooke Shieldses), I can think of dozens of different actors who could do those roles better. Heck, I can think of at least a half-dozen college classmates just from the year I did theatre. Not everyone can act, to be sure, but it's not *that* rare to find a good actor. later, Miles ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2003 13:05:09 -0800 From: "Jason R.

I did have an urge to shout out "play Siren instead," I must admit. That said, I actually enjoyed the mini-Avalon tribute (the instrumental that ends side two, "Tara," was skipped because no one knew the chords). It was much more interesting than his released version of "More Than This." This is the second time I've seen Robyn at Largo, and it's the second time he's played "Hey Bulldog" there. That, and "How Do You Sleep?" and "The Ocean" were my favorite covers of the evening.
