Happy new year!!!!!

It has been too long! i am glad that the retail season is in intermission until the easter sale. oops! FORGOT ABOUT THE VALENTINES DAYS SALES! halmark wil hunt me down now. anything new? i saw 'the producers'. It was alright. I want to see the original. Will ferrel? great. The cast of homosexuals FANTASTIC! uma....she did a good job. bimbo is not a hard roll. Nathan lane and Matthew Broderick. there was something that did not quite gel. they are both very talented actors. both experienced in theatre and on the stage. so why did this not work so well? It may be that parts of it where shot like a play. the viewer is confined to seeing the arena for the action adn not so much the in between action. like the office. or the roof top. the directors flat. then seeing it on film almost gives it an anesthetic feel to it. like a documentary representation of the events. but that has nothing really to do with lane and broderick.they had great moments....but then again, they were almost exagerating some of the character quirks like one would on stage to communicate the action for an audience that is not able to scrutinize so closely like one can with film. Maybe that is the charm of what mel brooks was intending to do....or atleast the actors and director got together this time and said hey...what if we show it like this? Who knows. that is why i want to see the original.
i was just thinking outloud.
