The BJMDDS General Discussion Thread......

[The Sweeney]

Give it a rest. We're entitled to our opinion.

Again to clarify...opinion on what?

That you don't agree we should wait until the show pans out before deciding it is a failure or not??????

[katied]

If you want the "we all love Daniel Craig and he should be treated with RESPECT!!!!!!!!!!!!" stuff, go elsewhere.

[The Sweeney]

If you want the "we all love Daniel Craig and he should be treated with RESPECT!!!!!!!!!!!!" stuff, go elsewhere.

Again, the question above still remains unanswered........

Did you understand the question?

[katied]

No, I actually don't think we should wait for "popular opinion" to decide if it is a flop or not.

[The Sweeney]

No, I actually don't think we should wait for "popular opinion" to decide if it is a flop or not.

OK, so how should we decide if its a flop or not?

[bjmdds]

First of all, the this is a GENERAL DISCUSSION forum, so ANYTHING is on topic here. Secondly, do not think an opening night PREVIEW at the HIGHEST ticketed Broadway non-musical price of $140.00 will prove out once the real opening starts. Craig is not the draw here, Jackman is. I never doubted Jackman would draw. Broccoli is attempting to bolster her sidekick's sinking career before she decides to keep him or can him as Bond. I will be attending the opening of Bye Bye Birdie on Broadway with a bunch of other couples in 2 weeks. I will check out the 'scene' at Jackman's play when I walk past it. With the economy as it is, movies are flourishing but Broadway is down 10% due to their prices. Hark not Sweeney, for Craig's days in Hollywood are dwindling down month by month as his movies have shown. Perhaps Bond 23 will be a play on Broadway instead of a movie worldwide?

My my. The world is one bleak, pessimistic, dark, gloomy, negative place in your eyes BJ.....with Daniel Craig right at the epi-center of it.

No. The world happens to be one bright, optimistic, well lit, friendly, cheery, and positive place Sweeney. What you just descibed is Craig's interpretation of Bond. He is at the epi-center of that!

[Captain Nash]

Save your breath Sweeney...or at least your keyboard typing. Trying to have a discussion with Harry and Lloyd here about anything to do with Daniel Craig, especially one that could see him in a favourable light are a no go.

The pro-Craigs would have the world be a place without any sort of criticism of Craig, to say nothing of how the films are produced.

Really? What is my opinion of QoS, Katied?

And another question above goes unanswered. You are quite good at doing this.
So Katied. If we don't judge popular opinion on whether the Broadway show is a flop, what do we judge it by? Reviews? BO figures?

[katied]

Not to generalize, but the people at the fanboy boards aren't exactly open minded, are they?


IIRC you found plenty of faults with QOS.


As far as the play goes.....You're judging the show a "success" because there has been ONE preview and a bunch of Bond nerds said they liked it? I'd rather wait for a few more reviews.

Who is judging the show a success? I am not. I am waiting for the reviews to come out.....but according to you Katied, we shouldn't wait and see how it pans out? This is what you said, wasn't it?

[katied]

Yes it was.

[The Sweeney]

Yes it was.

But now you are going back on that statement, and saying that we SHOULD now wait and see how it pans out, ie. when the reviews come in.....correct?

[katied]

Yes it was.

Nope.


Oh and BTW, once the general public gets a load of this play(though I wonder how many of them will actually see it) the reviews might not be as kind.

[The Sweeney]

Yes it was.

But now you are going back on that statement, and saying that we SHOULD now wait and see how it pans out, ie. when the reviews come in.....correct?

Nope.

You just said earlier that we should wait until the reviews come out before passing judgement, and now you are saying no we shouldn't.....

Sorry, but your legendary Thrice-like flip-flopping has reached new bounds.

I'd rather wait for a few more reviews.

[katied]

I'll be interested to see what non-Bond fans think of it, though as I said, I doubt they get many takers.

I am more interested to see what the press think of it. I'm looking forward to the reviews.

[katied]

Given the plot, the play seems out of place on Broadway,save for Hugh Jackman who has been on Broadway plenty of times.

Like you said earlier....let's wait and see until the reviews come out.

[katied]

Craig has had almost no experience onstage, and Jackman has had TONS. I'm rooting for Jackman.[/sarcasm]
