 | 08:32 pm - DUDES.
DUDES!! I was poking around that site a little more (the one with the Robert Englund interview I just shared) and dudes. He's got an interview with Lon Chaney's great-grandson!!
You totally need to go and read this. He's got anecdotes from the filming of it and everything! I haven't even finished reading it yet (I'll add snippets when I'm done); I just wanted to share that right away. Awesome!!
Edited to add:
Because Lon Sr. always wore such heavy make-ups, he could walk about in public quite freely for the most part, even though he was the world’s biggest movie star at the time. See, no one really knew what he looked like. Well, to get ideas for his characters, Lon would take long walks by himself, studying people. Now, remember, at this time, a lot of young men were coming back from World War horribly disfigured from combat injuries. These poor guys were often shunned because they were so mutilated. Well, one day, Lon was walking along the docks, doing his thing, when a group of men started following him. It was quite foggy, but through the fog Lon could see that two of the men were both missing a leg, and so they were leaning on each other in order to walk. Basically the two of them formed one complete man. One of the other guys was terribly burned, and the fourth looked like the top of his head was dented in. Now these guys start following Lon in this isolated area, and all he could think was these guys were gonna rob him. So he sped up his step and made it to his home. Next thing you know there’s a knock at the door. Lon cautiously opens it, and there are all four of these men standing in the shadows. Turns out, they somehow recognized Lon, and wanted to thank him for taking on roles that showed the humanity and heart beneath an often ugly exterior. They said that because of Lon, people who had shunned them before were now understanding and accepting. They told Lon he was the “King of the Misshapen.” This became a title my great-grandfather took very seriously.

| 06:35 pm - *Insert Witty Title About ALW or Robert Englund; I Can't Think of One*
So I decided the time had come (since it was a beautiful sunny day) to lock the kids outside and re-watch Robert Englund's version (which I honestly do love all to bits but watch far too rarely). Buuuut first I had to find it, which took some doing because the case it's in doesn't have a cover, so then I had to do up another cover for it... Long story short, I found myself on IMDB after pics and while there I found a link to an article with Mr. Englund in which he not only gives the plot of the never-made sequel, but also the title.
There was a great sequel that’s never been made which was called THE PHANTOM IN MANHATTAN. A lot of elements from that script have been borrowed subsequently. I’ve seen sequences that reminded me of that script as far back as Guillermo Del Toro’s MIMIC. More recently in BLADE 2.
Aaand also, I would assume, in Frederick Forsythe's "The Phantom of Manhattan". Which came out eleven years after Englund's movie came out, and I expect a few years again from when they were originally working on the scripts-- Oops. Did I use a derivative of "original" in reference to something connected with ALW? My mistake.
Anyways, Englund continues:
Well, the sequel took place in the buried train graveyards beneath the “Belle Époque” superstructure of the original subways that the sand hogs built many, many layers below the current subways of New York. I don’t know if you’re familiar with the urban legend of the “mole people”… You’ll see it occasionally on LAW AND ORDER or a NEW YORK CSI, but there are people that live beneath the warming grates and the subway vents of New York. There’s entire little societies down there. And in the sequel, they have me, the Phantom, having come from Europe and living down there, and composing down there in an old robber baron’s train car. And he’s served by all these homeless kids. Think “Fagin” in OLIVER TWIST. So, my children will go up and work this surface, and I would stay below, and occasionally foray into the Metropolitan Opera in Manhattan. And once, while I’m going up, I hear a voice in the subway. Where the street performer’s play on the subway platform, I hear this voice. And, here’s the hitch, it’s a blind girl. The new Christine is blind. She’s Italian. Her name is Christina. Her father, think Gepetto in PINOCHHIO, even though it’s contemporary, we make him a new Italian immigrant to Am erica, perhaps Siciliano, and he accompanies her on violin, which is echoes of Claude Rains. Her voice is the perfect instrument for the opera I’m working on. Plus she’s blind, she doesn’t know what I look like. She just hears my soothing voice. So I school her and coach her. Well, she still has to play on the subways to make ends meet. Her father is killed by skinheads. I avenge her father… There you go. There you get your splatter quotient there… And then, at a decadent opera party that uses the subway trains for an opening night gala, they pull her station and they hear her singing. They discover her. She’s brought into the professional world of opera, and so my opera will never be made. Also, concurrently, they discover a physician who can correct her sight with laser surgery, so now she can see again. So now the third act is, Will the Phantom kill her? Will he kill the surgeon who restored her sight? Will he thwart her debut at the New York City Opera? Or, as it turns out, you see me sitting there in my box seat, with my face sewn together, and I listen to her perform, and that’s enough for me. And the last image is me walking down 5th Avenue in the snow with my footprints trailing. And I lift a manhole cover and go back underneath.
So kind of badficcish there with the whole blind girl thing, but an interesting twist with her sight being restored. And as an aside, a New York Times article on the "mole people" he mentions led Ron Koslow to develop his "Beauty & the Beast" TV show back when. Yes I have been a geek that long. Also I really want to see that. But it's pretty damned cool at least hearing the plot!
He also says that the three things he's most often approached by fans of are the Nightmare on Elm Street series (of course), V (which I kind of didn't think anyone else remembered; I was a young teen when that came out and had a pretty heavy secret crush on the character he played myself), and-- kind of surprisingly, to me, because again I didn't think that many people othre than us remembered it-- his Phantom film.
The interview seems to be from 2005 (at least, that's when it was posted, and in it he has heard of the 2004 film but hasn't seen it yet) and he still obviously remembers the POTO version he did fondly and regrets that the sequel wasn't made. It's probably too much to hope for but considering that the first one is apparently doing reasonably well on video, perhaps there's a chance that the sequel may still be made, even if only as a direct-to-DVD thing.
Sadly the few discussion threads on IMDB aren't nearly as hilariously wankable as I was hoping they'd be (even the one with the promising title of "I like the 2004 movie better..." wasn't nearly as entertaining as I'd hoped) which, I have to admit, was the whole reason I was reading through them in the first place. XD But finding that interview made up for it! Check it out; it's almost entirely about his Phantom film. Did you know he was trying to look like Beethoven, kinda? Lovely Ludvig Van. Yeah, neither did I. XD

I am very proud to present to you my review of Love Never Dies Australia. Part 1 is now online at http://blip.tv/phantomreviews/s5e4-love-never-dies-oz-blu-ray-review-feat-elisa-hansen-1-of-2-6122408

I know a lot of Phantom Phans really hate the whole idea of LND, and I received quite a lot of flack because I enjoyed it (despite its flaws, which I am the first to point out... see my hour long dissection review on my blip website!) so in the interests of fairness and balance, I am joined by the voice of angered Phans everywhere, Elisa Hansen, whom I'm sure you know as Christine from my "Phantom Movie" trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmCmVMs-fxo) , and of course Nostalgic Chick and her recent vampire reviews show, Maeven of the Eventide. I love LND, she hates it. Watch the sparks fly, and find out if we can ever reach a compromise!

Apologies if this has been brought up before.
So, next month I'm going to see a local production of a relatively-obscure Emmerich Kalman operetta from the 1920s called "The Circus Princess," because a friend of mine is in the cast. Thing is, I don't know anything about it, so I look it up, and what do I find? The lead character is a mysterious circus performer named, of all things, Mr. X. Has ALW been dipping into other shows for "inspiration?" Well, given that at least one plagiarism lawsuit's been sent his way...

| 05:34 pm - Erik is everywhere... even in Japanese children's programming!
Hello, just some new meat making his first post here, and let me tell you, I'm going to out myself as a huge nerd by doing this, but I just couldn't resist. I know we're allowed to talk about obscure references to Phantom here, and did I ever find one. This is actually a little less than two years old, but I only just found out about it now and I haven't seen anything posted about it here before.
So, there's this long-running (as in really long-running; back to the mid-'70s) action series aimed at Japanese children called Super Sentai, which has had many different incarnations over the years but which is typically about five or so people who gain superpowers through magic, advanced technology, or what have you, and use them to fight off alien invasions and the like. If you're a child of the '90s or have had any extended interaction with one, you might well be familiar with Power Rangers, which is the American adaptation of Sentai. One of the constants of the formula of these series is the "monster of the week:" the one-episode villain/man in a really bad rubber suit that the forces of evil send down to further their invasion each episode. Each monster series tends to have its own gimmick, and the gimmick for the 2010 installment of the franchise was sci-fi, horror, and fantasy movies.
( Care to guess what movie they based a monster on? )

I have a paperback copy of the complete phantom of the opera by George Perry. It's actually in really excellent condition considering I found it in a used bookshop, there is only the slightest wear and tear on the sign.

Having grown up in the 1990's, I was fortunate enough to be exposed to a lot of freakishly awesome cartoons. That being said, Tom and Jerry Kids definitely wasn't one of them. How it managed to successfully run for three years is quite honestly beyond me. Interestingly enough, however, I remember them advertising a particular episode that looked like a Phantom of the Opera parody. Since this was back in my obsessive phantom phase, I watched the show hoping to catch it.
Click on 7:52. That will take you to the beginning of the 'Droopy of the Opera' episode. Watching it again, there's a few amusing references in spite of all the weirdness. I chuckled when he sang some vintage Nelson Eddy, and smiled at the throwaway line at the end that totally references Lon Chaney. Has anyone ever posted this? Has ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92) phantomreviews reviewed it? My apologies if it's already been mentioned before, but it's been a while since I've phanwanked. =P

 | 08:24 am - A CG Animated Pseudo-Phantom?
While flipping through the entertainment section of the paper this morning I caught an ad for an animated film called "Un Monstre A Paris" (The Monster of Paris). The pic with the ad shows a young woman in a fancy dress swooning next to a tall strange man in a wide brimmed hat, scarf, and what very much looks like a mask, holding a violin (the scarf is over the lower part of the guy's face and the ad is medium sized and black & white so some of the details are hard to make out).
Behind them appears to be a theatre poster with the names "Raoul" and "Catherine" on it.
So of course my first thought is "What? A CGI PHANTOM MOVIE????"
I jumped on IMDB and it looks like it's more a pseudo-Phantom story (BTW I'm not linking to the imdb page because the intro summary gives away the ending *face palm*) but it still looks cute and now I've got to track this thing down (the ad I saw was for a French screening and unfortunately my personal grasp of French is only sufficient enough to ask what time it is and to know that "Un Monstre A Paris" translates to "The Monster of Paris" :P ... so going to the advertised showing would do me little good).
Has anyone else seen this? Is it Phantom-y? Is it any good?

So it's supposed to be... darker, more stylized, more twisted... Atmospherically, at least, more in keeping with the darker feel of the original show.
Or at least that's what the designers and production team were telling themselves about this incarnation. And some of the clips and photos did look promising...
So I thought, well, if they're redesigning the look of EVERYTHING, hopefully they're revisiting Erik's makeup job. Hopefully it'll be good and nasty and grody. Because, upon seeing the makeup from the London version, my immediate thought was that Erik's deformity seemed to be... moving away from his face and crawling further back around the side of his head. So it was more "this scalp that earned a mother's fear and loathing." Because we can't possibly have a phantom who isn't -- gasp -- handsome.
Yes. Yes. Darker, gothier Aussie production will no longer suffer from the phenomenon of the crawling-away-and-hiding-behing-Erik's-head deformity makeup, it will be m--

Hello my lovelies!
So tomorrow, it's been exactly ten years since I first saw Phantom. I feel I have to celebrate because like it or not, badphic or not, hell, LND or not, Phantom is just one of those things that's impacted my life. So I need to do something to celebrate. So, at Wal-mart the other day, I bought a copy of the 25th anniversary performance at Royal Albert Hall. I plan to watch it. But before I do, I ask you, wise phanwankers with excellent taste and grammar, is it awesome or is it wankable? What am I in for? And moreover, why have I not watched this before?
Also boo hiss, I wanted to get to Broadway to catch a performance tomorrow but the tickets are out of my price range. boo!

Translated rom English, to Spanish, to German, to Finnish, to Bulgarian, to Icelandic, to Norwegian, to Catalan, to Belarusian, and back to English.
Well, it certainly didn't make the lyrics any worse.
( I do not deny that this night is long. )

I was browsing around at Half Price Books today (it's a used bookstore), and had to stop myself from laughing when I saw a whole bunch of copies of the Love Never Dies soundtrack. Amazing.
What really got me was that each was $10. No way. Especially when there was an original cast recording of Phantom for just $3 more.

You guys. Look what I found. Apparently there is a horror-themed Trans-Siberian Orchestra parody group called Trans-Sylvanian Orchestra, and they have covered Music of the Night. And it sounds like the background music for a Broadway-themed drug trip in a 60's exploitation film.
Rock out
I don't even.
