The Phantom of WHAT, now?

[katiescarlet]

Well, I read The Phantom of Manhattan by Frederick Forsythe. I had heard it was utter trash but I had to see for myself. Yay for the library--no money gambled on the darn thing

BRAVO! *claps fiercely, giving a standing ovation* Your review made me laugh so hard I cried. A disgusting book, pointless DRIVEL, and you've managed to make the review magnificent!

Thank you! You made my entire day! I was howling throughout the whole review. And now I refuse to read such utter TRASH.

*longs nostaligacly for Leroux's Erik, and wishes to read Kay's version*

In other news...I assume you've seen the new movie, where...Erik was just...really HOT. Sorry, but the contrast between Erik as he IS and this...piece of CRAP...it makes me want to cry. *goes to listen to the soundtrack*

Again, my thanks to you!

Heehee...thanks! I was feeling especially inspired.

I've seen the new movie just once so far, but I'm itching to go back.
Mr. Butler is no Michael Crawford in the singing department, although he's certainly not bad by any stretch of the imagination. Just different. And hot. Oh yes, hot. I'm still not sure Erik should be so dang gorgeous, but I can't complain too much. *fans self with paper*

Actually...Crawford...doesn't do ANYTHING for me. I MUCH prefer Butler. That's just me...*looks around nervously, expecting obsessed Phangirls to assinate her from the woodwork*
but I like Butler's Erik. He reminds me much more of Leroux's Erik.

Hey, they all have their strengths. No assassinations from me. ;)

I actually own this book. Paid full price for it and everything.

Yeah. It lives under a pile of crap at the bottom of my closet where it can't get me. It's evil must never be woken. *puts HazMat warning on closet*

LOL!
