Peter Pan / Re: Songs for Peter Pan
« on: September 21, 2009, 12:20:03 PM »
ooh, missed "return to innocence" on your list. I do like that one. Actually, the chants are not of any Native American language, they're Taiwanese (aborigines). Also...It's all coming back to me, for some reason, I always thought I guy sung that...yes, wasn't it Meatloaf who did it? Dion must have done a version too. I haven't heard it since I was a kid, but I remember the feel, I see how you mark that one too. Also, the Spirit soundtrack is nice, Zimmer and Adams, though I had never thought of Peter Pan with it before. Interesting.

i hate those songs (sorry, I'm a horrible, horrible person). They're rather cheesy. Just in my view though. I don't know a thing about music, so don't take offence. Whatever music gives you that sensation is good. I listen to songs for an experience, and some of them are cheesy (shh! that never leaves this room). You have a good way at putting songs together, Wendy. I thought your video for MJ and Barrie and Peter Pan was nice and very beautiful. Sweet pain to it. That song is very simple, which is probably why you were able to morph it on a complex Barrie. Works with millions of people alive whose childhoods know the Lost Boy (or girl) nature.

Lately I've been listening to Maria Callas and the wails of the Japanese Noh Theatre...not sure what either one is saying, so only in sound could I relate them to something else if I thought of it. Uhh...let's try again.

As for Peter...hmm...what songs I think of? Well Anno Birkin's "Landslide" and "Touched"...though those two songs remind me of everything, Peter Pan just being one part of that everything.

There's also a number of scores, I can't think of any right now, but if I do...

Just to reassure everyone, the only users I block are porno spams as and when they show up. MLD/Taylor is welcome to the forum any time.

Good for you, Andrew, that's a great way to run a forum. But couldn't you be more lenient on those porno spamers?? Their posts are the only reason I visit after all!

Oh, and btw, Wendy, are you the person who made the video of scenes from The Lost Boys and Peter Pan (2003) to Michael Jackson's "Childhood" song on youtube?

well, whatever, i don't think we need to make that big of a deal about it now. Think Andrew and Wendy (and those who explained the crazy Barrie book such as Robert) handled it well. The posts were more rubbish than harmful (i'm not belittling anyone's feelings - hate it when people are mean, just saying his comments were so ridculous). I'm not sure if MLD/Taylor is coming back anyway, but we'll see.

Whoa, you don't come on for a day and a half, and look what you miss! I'm actually glad I did, because if I had read MLD's postings to Andrew, I probably would've went ballistic and shouted (urr...typed) some profane blah, blah. But Wendy said it all very calm and clear, so I thank you along with the rest of the members. I actually had stopped the reading MJ arguments awhile ago, but now in looking over them, I see -as you said- that they were very rude to you too. Good for you, for keeping your cool. I'm not actually sure what this guy's motive is. It's one thing to debate about Barrie's innocence with children (WITH actual sources), but all this mumbo jumbo is ridculous. Whatever, get a life.

Again, well said, Wendy, thanks for posting.

JMBarrie / Re: The Man Who Was Peter Pan

God, I started this topic long ago! I remembering when I was 15 or so writing to Allan Knee, asking where I could find his play. He was such a nice guy (from what a kid could gather from e-mails at the time, I don't know him in real life) and wrote to me several times about making it into a musical. He never answered my question about the original play though, which I heard was quite different from the Finding Neverland film, which is why I wanted to read it and find out more about Barrie. Stopped looking for it years ago, not too long after I discoverd Birkin's version of story and every PP adapatation or idea of Barrie prior to that erased from memory. Anyone seen any productions of this one?

Davies Family / Re: Michael's Death
« on: September 13, 2009, 08:48:41 PM »
Mention...? Well, those final pages of the last chapter and epilogue are pretty damn powerful. I think the "mention" of it is a right ending in history, plot and style for both the book and the film. Of course many things happened afterward -a number of which Andrew does point to- but there's only so much you can fit into a script or a book (that's why there's a website), and the death of Michael in a way (in many ways!) was the death of Barrie.

About the only thing I liked about Neverland was making Peter the central child figure - and the boy who played him was superb.

Couldn't agree more. I always wanted to know more about him - the real Peter that is - and many thanks for the letters! Can't wait to get into them.

Peter Pan / Re: Michael Jackson RIP
« on: September 08, 2009, 10:39:44 PM »
we're not putting you on trial. Just curious. My question is not your legal dealings, but where did you (or whoever) find the name Peter Pan before Barrie. A storybook from before the 1900s, an oral tale? And where did you hear of a legand of a boy taking kids over? I'm not challenging you, don't be offended, I'm just curious.

beautiful. Your picture that you and your love made, and the words that Andrew and his family experienced... thank you for sharing. Brilliant sensation.

Peter Pan / Re: Michael Jackson RIP
« on: September 08, 2009, 01:27:22 AM »
Wait, wait...really? I know about Neverland, but Peter...I thought Peter was original. Obviously, not the name Pan (from the faun/chaos god), but wasn't Barrie's combination of Pan and baby Peter his own? I have to study a lot more, but I thought the idea of a boy who stays young forever was original (at least the way his character is, it certainly is!) And do share more about that tale of a boy who goes with kids to cross over (maybe from eariler mythlogies -none that I'm aware of though, but i love this stuff, please enlighten me!). Are you sure? I thought that boy with dead kids was Peter Pan by Barrie, and that Peter's name was Barrie's child in more than a play/book's sense. Is he a real boy like Peter or a spirit like an angel... share more.
