I had a very interesting discussion about theater and film the other day. My parents and I were talking about Little Shop of Horrors and, specifically, about the ending of the musical versus the ending of the (1986) movie. In the musical, the story ends with the main characters getting eaten by the plant and everybody dying. The movie was originally going to end the same way, but audience reactions were so negative that they were forced to shoot a happy ending where the plant is destroyed and the main characters survive. Frank Oz, who directed the movie, later said something I think is very interesting:

I learned a lesson: in a stage play, you kill the leads and they come out for a bow — in a movie, they don’t come out for a bow, they’re dead. They’re gone and so the audience lost the people they loved, as opposed to the theater audience where they knew the two people who played Audrey and Seymour were still alive. They loved those people, and they hated us for it.

That’s a real gem of a thought in and of itself, a really interesting consequence of the fact that theater is alive in a way that film isn’t. A stage play always ends with a tangible reminder that it’s all just fiction, just a performance, and this serves to gently return the audience to the real world. Movies don’t have that, which really changes the way you’re affected by the story’s conclusion. Neat!

But here’s what’s really cool: I asked my dad (who is a dramaturge) what he had to say about it, and he pointed out that there is actually an equivalent technique in film: the blooper reel. When a movie plays bloopers while the credits are rolling, it’s accomplishing the exact same thing: it reminds you that the characters are actually just played by actors, who are alive and well and probably having a lot of fun, even if the fictional characters suffered. How cool is that!?

Now I’m really fascinated by the possibility of using bloopers to lessen the impact of a tragic ending in a tragicomedy…

#much to think about #the opposite of this is true for tgwdlm. that curtain call is still part of the show… ough

Sorry to say but I think the true legacy of tcb is that I’ve had the phrase “to gettin’ on her stayin’ on her and if you can’t come in her come on her god bless America” stuck in my head since everyone said it last night like the pledge of allegiance

#yea

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE MOST INFLUENTIAL ALBUM OF THE MODERN AGE

#God....... #shoutout to the album that did things to my brain as a teenager

[renegadeofficial]

I'm not able to go to Spy Another Day, but I've been working on this Spies Are Forever wood segmentation piece off and on since the tinlightenment campaign back in February. I swore to myself I'd get it done before the LA Spies show, and I just barely made it! I absolutely cannot wait to watch the digital ticket for this

This show has meant so much to me. It has gotten me through a few very difficult months, and I can't wait to hang this on the wall of my workshop and be reminded of a thing that inspires me.

The backer board is 3/8" red oak plywood, "Forever" is cut out of 3/8" baltic birch plywood, the "spies are" is 1/4" baltic birch plywood, and the cityscape is 1/8" marine plywood. The figures are 3/8" baltic birch, the shape of each color is cut out individually, sanded, painted, and put back together like a puzzle.
