@rochellaine haha, I just got a picture in my mind of us two old grey-haired ladies hunched over our laptops chatting in the writers’ corner 😀 Yes, ’til we’re old and grey!!!

Hahaha! That’s why I’m not sure if I’ll like it. I like a musical to have a few songs here and there, and a lot of dialogue. I do like operas, but I prefer musicals to be completely di…[Read more]

@skredder Yes, Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables are both very popular. 🙂 I haven’t seen either of them. 😛 My dad tells me Les Mis is very good, (and so does SeekJustice,) but I’ve never had a chance to see it. I like the older, happy-go-lucky musicals better than those dark, modern musicals though. SeekJustice really doesn’t like tho…[Read more]

@skredder Haha, I can’t believe we haven’t asked you before now. 😮
Which one did you see live? I think @seekjustice and I have both seen Mary Poppins live, and I’ve seen a few others.
If you enjoy musicals, but don’t watch them, does that mean you listen to soundtracks? Or just that you like the ones you have seen?

@seekjustice Hahaha! Well, I do wear lipstick on very rare occasions…but, I think I’d have a bit of trouble singing while putting on lipstick! Yes, I agree that this is the best makeup song ever. I just realized that right now I’m on my sixth or seventh listen to it today. 😛
@skredder Great! But, what is it actually that you are wor…[Read more]

@seekjustice Haha! That’s a funny, and kind of horrible idea. 😮 Thankfully, I don’t wear makeup. (I take forever to get ready anyway, so if I had to put makeup on, I’d never be on time for anything. 😛 ) So does that mean I don’t have to worry that I’ll one day be acting like that awful queen? But I love the tango beat behind the song, and th…[Read more]

@seekjustice I showed my sister this song a few minutes ago, and we both agreed that the singer is amazing. I then thought of you, and wondered if you’d like to hear it. 😉 It’s apparently from a 1987 Snow White musical movie, and it’s now near the top of my list of villain songs. 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5lxNxymO7g

@jenwriter17 Well, I was gone anyway, on my conference call. 🙂 But I’m back now.
Okay, I didn’t have any great desire to see them, so with such a recommendation as that, I guess I don’t need to worry about it. 😛
Sadly, yes. KP is being abandoned. Remember when it used to say “Members active in the last 24 hours: 46” or something like tha…[Read more]

@rochellaine Oh sorry I haven’t been responding as fast as I usually do; I was helping my mom organize a shipment of essential oil products we just got 🙂 I think I’m gonna have to leave actually 🙁
KP does seem to be being abandoned doesn’t it? 🙁

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #17 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 4 months ago
@jenwriter17 Okay, well, I haven’t seen Jurassic Park, so I don’t know what levels of scariness that includes. 😛 But I guess that means it won’t be a problem. And the villain in the ’55 movie isn’t nearly as scary as the one in the Hugh Jackman Broadway version from 1999. (My sister and I have three different versions of Oklahoma! that we wa…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 A favorite with a lot of people around here is Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954). Singin’ in the Rain (1952) is a classic, and very funny. It’s about the rocky transition from silent films to talkies in 1929. Oklahoma! (1955) is also very good. That one’s unusual for an old musical in that it actually has a villain. A real…[Read more]

@rochellaine Wow, that pic looks dangerous! i’m sorry your basement got flooded, but at least nothing worse happened.
what are some good musicals I can watch with my family?

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #17 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 4 months ago
@jenwriter17 A whole bunch. 😛 But presently it’s Tom Sawyer, 1973, by the Sherman Brothers. This is the song I’m on right now: A Man’s got to Be What He’s Born to Be (Not such a great message, but… 😉 I like the song Gratifaction better.
Also, looking at pictures of the flash floods in my county last night:

@warrenluther04 @seekjustice @ingridrd @skredder @ariel-ashira @sarah-anson @anyone else I missed
I forgot to ask one last thing: do you have any title ideas? I really like one or two word titles, so I don’t really like the one it has now. Any and all ideas would be appreciated 🙂

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #17 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 4 months ago
@jenwriter17 I’m here for a little bit, trying to prepare for a conference call which I’ll have in a couple hours. (Law school. 😉 ) And getting distracted listening to musicals.
How’s your editing coming?
