Seeing as NaNoWriMo is supposed to be more about getting out the pages just so you have something to work with, I might not be posting everything right away. My writing for getting back into HT has been kind of fragmented so I don't even know how the next chapter is going to hold together... I'm having more trouble with it than I thought I would...
2159 / 50000 words. 4% done!
:D, sorta.
I don't know why, but in the last few days I've been in this mood to return to basics and look for the The Phantom of the Opera's charm before there were so many forms of it. Actually, I think I know why I was inspired. I need to do an entry about Lily vs. The Movie Christines, and it occurred to me that Lily is very unlike most of them but her closest Christine is 1925's Mary Philbin, if you can believe it. I mean, as a silent movie actress, she has what I really need from Lily (especially as a filmmaker) -- someone who can express mounds with her face, and body too to a lesser degree.
With that in mind, I want to make sure I acknowledge how powerful Mary and Lon were as the very first Christine and Erik, because I know there is much to be seen by a trained eye and their movie is often claimed to still be the best Phantom movie interpretation. It won the "Phantys"! XD
(If you haven't seen the Phantys video yet, OMG WATCH IT. I love this girl. ALW's wallet accepting the award was hilarious.)
LOL! I totally forgot about the end with "the Phantom" in a condom commercial.
Anyway, another thing I want to do is actually read the book again. It's been, what, six years? I think that I could appreciate it a lot more nowadays than I did when I was a stupid fifteen year old. Although I remember the first day I got it I was reading it at school nonstop. I just couldn't put it down, I was so obsessed. And then disappointed. I was just too young to understand what I was reading, I think.
So those are my goals for the time being. Last NaNoWriMo, I loved the heck out of Charles and Robert (if they were books, they would be terribly frayed!) now I'd like to give some time to Leroux' original Erik and Lon.
Oh, and do that thing called write He's There. I'll just tryyyy to fit that in! :P
