My God...sounds amazing, amazing. I got a glance at the photos and such, thank you so much for the glimpse, Holly. Soooooooooo ENVIOUS of you, Andrew, but so thrilled to imagine you riding the sweeping the drama and that Peter on stage has finally heard his true drumming heart. Finally! Wonderful. I hope it continues to spread for children and those who once were children.

Thank you, Celiene, thank you Andrew and Sir James! Hope to someday see it too, hope! hope! Peter, my the window is open again...

Awesome, Andrew...have fun at TBWHM!

Uhh...I heard on the television that some big virus is going around, but I wasn't watching the screen or really paying attention, so...

When Nico first read my scripts for The Lost Boys, he commented wryly, "I suppose if I'd committed suicide, I might have had a bigger part!"

Ah, that's exactly what I was thinking earlier today! I remember that line somewhere in a discription under the audio clips. Nico always makes me laugh! One of the things he said that had me falling of my seat was stuff about Jack's kid Timothy. I almost retyped it here, but it's just not funny unless Nico himself accounts for it...it's on page 4 of Nico's audio files if anyone cares to give a listen.

yea...actress play both Mrs. Darling and Hook. I'm not talking about an obvious overthetop gag reel (as Hook is often protrayed as) but very ambigous way between male and female...beautiful and dangerous, switching between different sex space boundaries (as in how a male/female moves or keeps to themself)...somewhat like an actor in a Kabuki play (a man playing a woman playing a man, visa versa in our case...that's thrilling when felt and stylized).

As for morals, well...I always thought the film versions put these other themes to it that were pretty annoying. And each filmmaker does have to bear what he thinks the story is saying (films and books/plays are different no matter what people say!), but with Peter, he's been so simplified and mauled in a ghastly way. Barrie's book and play were very complex, yet at the same time very pure in emotions and thoughts of the kids and the adults too (remember one of his fairy notes: no one has grownup ideas in this play). The movies often add these things that seem more "problmatic" (like Wendy being groomed to be a lady in 2003 version) that kind of looses Peter's spirit - I thought Barrie presented the real problems well. Also I always think Mrs. Darling is made too angelic in versions...she that devil in her too.

sorry my words are so garbled! I am deep in a bunch of other books and plays now for school. But...

Mrs. Darling as Hook.

Peter as a boy (demon and wonderful boy).

No morals (they always seem to stick those in).

You know, I don't think Nico even knew why he was afraid of water in general.

It's easy to come with ideas, but it might have not even been something to do with experience, just part of the way dem genes made him. Then again, it might have been emotional trauma, not litterally with water, but loosing a dad at such a young age, and later a mom. He may have been nervous to begin with, but the death/loss could have intensified it. Those experiences can enrage demons and fears within you. Then again, just a speculation. I totally agree that the day he died, it was panic. But as for Michael's reason throughout his life, it's one of those things we can't know while curving at this point in time.
