Short bus rocks

Short Bus delivers a canid pornographic character driven view on sexuality and the misconceptions we have towards love and sexual satisfaction. Sooke Yin Lei of much music fame ( DNTO host as well) delivers a great performance as a sex therpaist who can't have an organism. The play revolves around each individual characters struggles with relationships or lack there of...all finfd themselves drawn to a sex club called Short bus in lower manhatten..What got me first was the use of claymation or paper mache or something that creates the entire new York City and is used as atransition piece between day and night and black out and non black out of fall 2004. There is a lot to like about the film, it challenges my core beliefs as a white single Irish hetro male with my prudish ways. But there is room for voyers in this film as well as participants it's a strange ride this short bus..Is it porn well yes sort of..is it a character driven serious film...well yes sort of...should you go see it...definitly

Mr. Surprise: It’s perfect. We cannot fail. We will take over the world. Rahahah…rahaha.

Enter Doctor Spot carrying a bag of Loot. Sets it down on stage and sits on a chair very tired.

Mr. Surprise: Doctor Spot I have great news; the Alien Crom Goth is being held at the Mayhem Zoo. All we have to do is capture him and use his power. And you know what that means.

Ash Drags bag and walks of stage in a sad way. Animals begin to eat and talk.

Momo: Umm this is not bad, not bad at all. I think I’ll have seconds, maybe thirds.

Roxxi: How can you eat? Don’t you know that Crom Goth the King is coming here today. He will be so sad and unhappy in this jail. He was a king on planet Orkon now he is just like us.

Emmano Pavano: He ruled for over a million years. He ate like a king for a million years. Now he has to eat horrible food in this jail. We must clean up the place and make him welcome. Yes, we will throw him a party, Welcome to earth “it’s not so bad” party.

whistle. He walks to Centre stage and address audience, like he would a crowd at a zoo.

Ash: Please! Please! Please! I have someone I would like you all to meet. He is a king.

Animals start to quiet.

Ash: A leader from a far away galaxy. Two days ago he lived in a palace and ruled trillions. Today he lives with a terriable Tiger, a half ton hamster and a dalmation from the Danish nation . Who of you is daring enough to look at Crom Goth “The Orkon King?”

Walks out into stage and asks the audience, brings the pre ordained someone up and they react with a scream as preordered at beginning of script. Ash lets him return to seat and then Princess will enter.

This is where it gets crazy we have a freak out by an audience member and resuscitation by ck and bd…

Anna stops painting and speaks

Anna: No. Audience Whoa you go girl!

Rose: Well what do you know; you think everything is beautiful. Big surrrrrrrprise! But I tell you everything is ugly. Uggggggly!

Ash is a little scared at approaching the Princess but he does. Anna goes and starts painting the animals. First she sits down by them. Ash and Princess go to view Crom Goth.

Ash: Behold King Crom Goth.

Princess looks. Looks some more. Her frown is leaving her. She starts to smile. She starts to jump up and down. Tries to go towards Crom Goth. But Ash stops her.

Princess Rosie Thorne: How dare you stop a Princess who is in love.

All: Love?

Princess: Why he is the most beautiful creature I have ever seen. I must speak with him. I am in love. In love. In love.

She dances as she speaks and Anna comes to her side trying to get her to leave.

El Tosta: Jumping joeholsafat! What can we do? What must we do? We will do… I’ll tell you what we will do.

Crom Goth: Hi every body I’m Crom Goth the King. And let me tell you humans sure know how to make an alien welcome. Speeches, A crowd, a princess who loves me and a great-decorated room with cool earth animals. How did I ever get so lucky?

The animals look at him like he’s crazy.

All: Huh? What? You’re joking right. You must be joking. Hahahahaha…good one Crom Goth…good one…hahahahahaha.

Crom Goth: No, I’m telling the truth. Back on Orkon I had to help everyone all the time. I had to go to parades. Fire zeons. Hire nables. Go to a smokla party every zinzong. Live in a big what you call “castle”. All alone. I never had many what call “friends” because I had so much “responsibility.” Now I have lots of “buddies”, and have zero “responsibility”. Yippeeeeee.

Momo: But don’t you miss being a leader?

frog: Yeah, you’re a king, now you’re a prisoner.

Crom Goth: Come now. I get fed here, right? I get to sleep here, right? I get to play games with you animals’ right? And a princess loves me. That is not a bad life. Much better than on my planet.

All: Ok. But this is a stinky pit that you can’t leave.

Crom Goth: Who said anything about leaving? I don’t want to ever. I’m sick of huge “castles” and being a king. Let’s play something.

All animals: You’re crazy Crom Goth.

Crom Goth: No I’m free, I’m finally free! Let’s play….

Roxxi: Frisbee.

Crom Goth: What is freesbee?

Chorus:

El Tosta: Holy pot holes Lauren dude! Watch your drivin.

Lauren: Stop. Stop. El Tosta you know we should really consider getting those new hummer c2 cycles. This is taking forever.

ElTosta: I know the budget won’t allow it. So being a good guy means being a fandastical frugal mite sometimes. All we can hope is that they don’t use plan B

Lauren: Plan B!..Not plan B! how did they get plan b?

El Tosta: They traded plan A for it.

Lauren: Nooooooooooooooooo!

Roxxi: Yeah, atleast before we had quiet now we have so many vistors throwing things at Crom Goth that we never get any quality time. I miss quality time. Remember quality time.

Momo: I like the drama. It keeps me young.

Frog freaks out!

Frog: Ferocious can’t take it any more! Ferocious has to tell you something.

All: What’s wrong ferocious frog?

Frog: The bad guys are coming to take Crom Goth Away

All: What?

Ferociaous Frog: Ferocious Frog isn’t some harmonica playing lilly pad lovin, toad tastin butterfly munchin’ road runnin’ no good lazy fruit fly eater. Ferocious frog lives on the edge fighting injustice in stinky pits everywhere.

Princess rose: I need to be alone Crom Goth can you visit me again some other time?

Crom Goth: Crom Goth suppose to take over earth tomorrow, how about next day?

Princess Rose: Come to dinner. I’d love my parents and the especially the guards to meet you.

Princess Rose presents her hand and Crom Goth licks it.

Crom Goth: Ummm.

Princess shakes her head and both walk in separate directions.

On reading ALIGATOR BY Lisa Moore

The book is a hard to place memory book of interchangeable actions that connect each character through character titled chapters such as Colleen Valetin and Frank....I find this method a great way for the author to flash at you exactly that this will be franks monologue, thoughts situation, point of view, it is some what like a play in that it gives the reader the exact frame of reference to what is happening for that character at that moment..at times there is a cross over one time Frank's and then collen's similar perspective on a twist the two shared that is rather interesting and some what sad..... as the male characters in this book lack any great qualities..... while the female characters are film makers, eco teroists who travel and steal for their passions...the men own hot dog carts, fold under and work at walmart because of emotional difficulties....It's not that I don't admire the work, I just don't love it..... and at times I wonder why she was so keen in writing in the way she did...I didn't expect to be gender offended by the book... but I guess I am....and that's strange because the last book I read really had no real likeable characters...Lullaby...but it had a stern plot force that led you away from the characters as central...where as here you better like the characters, the imagery and St.john's..because it's front and centre....

For me the book yet unfinished is yet to be rated...but not what I expected...maybe I got caught reading the same books and this is my finally with these slice of life books for a while....

I'd love to hear your thoughts....

on writing a kids play

On organizing a script and characters for a kids play...
this is my break and freeform form to inspire and maybe get some comments from the world wide web necks....

I have tweleve students with a wide varienty of characters....one artist age 12...
three super villians
three super hero's
a princess
an alien
a dog
ahampster
a tiger
a toaster man
and a pokemon trainer...

We have a wide selection of plot lines to plug in these characters...

one that encompasses the three plot lines and sub plots voted by the kids came to this improbable and problamatic scenerio...

Lost IN THE FOREST NEAR a CASTLE but really in a CAVE...CIRCUS PERFORMERS search for HORSES who live in a VOLCANO and eatPOPCORN and shoot out LASERS from their EYES.

Maybe the twelve could be simultaneously lost for no reason what so ever in a place unnamable in search of a way home so that they can go back to doing what each character does best.....

So perhaps LOST would be enough...
With taking over the world for the villians and prtecting the world for the super hero's and finding a way home for all involved through teamwork and understanding...some bits and jokes....

there there's some thinking done

monday monday blog 85

Paul Giamanti plays an awakward chief inspector, big suprise and the chick fgrom 7th heaven jessica Biel plays the love interest....

The evil guy the prince is very angry through out..is it because he is in character or does he know that this is at times a comedy...

check out the walk in the castle scenes that happen the walls are quite interesting....

Finally in the end we see Jessica Biel wearing Genie pants in the arms of Norton...

On reading Lullyaby.....By Chuck Panaschuck....

The beginings of the novel take you into the world of haunted house reality where we meet Helen a realtor with a gift of selling and reselling the same housers thirty to forty times...All because they have interesting quirks...some bleed through walls..others have dogs that bark all others of the day at you but have no head....it's a luctrive business.....

We have Carl...aReporter who prides himself on knowing alll the little details....and works hard to keep himself one step from doing b everyone around him in with his anger....

One day through doing a piece on crib deaths he discovers a strange fact that a book has been at the scene of all the deaths he has covered...and all had a paticular page open..in this he finds a song that will kill anyone who it is spoken at....

Thus the journey begins to save the world from a word killing machine....

it's a book driven on word noise..speed of thought..angry rants from all sides and generational thought lines drawn in the sands and fighting each other for suspremency.....
