Well, Kitoky..gotta hand it to ya..you're great at amking people like me feel really...stupid isn't the word....yeah stupid. Great job! I now feel bad about my Raoul bashing....still...you have to understand, I felt so bad for poor phantom-dude...that I blamed it on Raoul! I think thats why most of us Raoul-Haters hate him...but..I shall renounce to my Raoul hating as I now understand him a little bit more.
U.U My sincere apologies for making you feel....stupid isn't the word...oh right, stupid. I really am
. I didn't mean my post to sound insulting, it's just that it was probably 2 am when I started typing it and I was reading through the posts again and there wasn't one Raoul-supporter [except for maybe Rum, but she knows I would go ballistic if she said anything
]. I understand that you probably felt bad for Phanny. Heck I did too, especially during Point of No Return. *sobs dramatically* Man, did Gerry do a good job with Phanny. If Raoul-Haters hate Raoul because he feel sorry for Phanny then.....I don't know. My faith in the common sense of humanity is lost
I don't know how they get hating Raoul out of feeling sorry for the Phantom....Ah well. If you should hate someone, hate the circus idiots who peel their eyelids out for a living, I don't know.
But really, thank you for reconsidering your hate for Raoulie.
You all should read Leroux's novel. I mean, it was just an emotional rollercoaster with Phanny in there o.o Even though he was....alot more....psychotic/scary in the novel. And I must admit. Raoul was a real wuss in the book but he still had his moments.
What I caught/checked/noticed from watching PotO again [DVD]:
[x] Make up didn't pay enough attention to before-after photos of Phanny. I don't know if they had to do it so that Gerry would be more comfortable singing/performing but I caught the CGI work they did when Christine snatched his mask off on stage.
.....1) Phanny's hair is a much, much, much lighter shade of brown when they revealed his face.
.....2) His bottom eye lid was slightly pulled out which he didn't have while wearing the mask.
.....3) There was a gap in his hair on the side of his bad face which was still there when the mask was on (they went overboard).
[x] Madame Giry = Foster Mom Extraordinare! (i.e. Christine, Erik....etc.)
[x] Meg Giry would be a very good candidate for Raoul if Christine DIDN'T choose him....Sorry...
[x] Raoul always took Phanny's Box 5.
......"Give me my box, you fop!" - "Never! This is my box and I can do whatever I please!" - "It was MINE first!" - "Nuh-uh! - "Yeah-huh!" - "Nuh-uh!" etc, etc.
[x] *cough*
......Raoul: "Please, Phantom. Invite me into your humble abode filled with traps, cages, scary looking candle holders, and that awfully disturbing mannequin of my dear Christine."
......Phanny: "Oh, I'm sorry. Please, excuse my rudeness. Yes, do come in!"
[x] Christine didn't want to get wet during Down Once More/Track Down This Murderer. "Eek! I must stand here and look scared and hopeless as my Angel of Music gets ready to kill my lover with the fancy Lasso."
[x] ....My gosh, Raoul's sexy in this Masquerade costume.
[x] Phanny thought that being the Phantom wasn't enough so he decided to be the Hunchback of Notre Damme at the end of Down One More/Track Down This Murderer.
[x] Christine thought it would be nice to give Raoul's intimate gift to her [the engagement ring], to the Phantom.....Apparently Raoul wants to marry Phanny. Did you guys notice the unresolved sexual tension during the swordfight? I mean it was exploding. *cat whistle* Sadly, it wouldn't be accepted in society. *dramatic pause* Ah well. [*dodges nucleur missiles*]
[x] Apparently, Piangi lost a bet to Carlotta. Poor bloke.
[x] During, the Masquerade scene when Phanny was berating Firmin and Andre...did he say..."arts" or a male donkey? [^^;; If you do not wish to answer that, I completely understand]
And my managers must learn...that their place is in an office not the ____.
[x] Cesar needs to be mentioned. Yay for Cesar lovers! Why do I get the feeling that he should've been mentioned by one of the stable guys at the beginning when Raoul was coming in, "Sir! Cesar's gone missing!" - "What is this?" [camera turns and zooms in on Raoul meeting up with Firmin and Andre].
[x] Gondolas are the fab these days.
[x] Phantom notices Christine looks at Raoul during Point of No Return. ["Stupid...pretty boy...stealing my Box *grumble grumble grumble*"]
[x] Meg Giry took the Phantom's mask in the end. [Fanfiction writer's radar goings *BOING!*]
[x] Moderator, Kitoky, has no life.
Thank you!
