Members Faulkner Posted July 11, 2018 Members Share Posted July 11, 2018 Just saw “The Boys in the Band” on Broadway. Our soap alums Tuc Watkins and Matt Bomer were fine (as well as great eye candy) and got off some funny lines, but the star was naturally Jim Parsons, who goes much darker and deeper than I anticipated in the very mean-spirited lead role. (I’d seen the movie years ago. Zachary Quinto is basically doing Leonard Frey pantomime as the venomous Harold, but his comic timing is spot-on) Overall, much better than its initial reviews and still very relevant in 2018. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 11, 2018 Members Share Posted July 11, 2018 I heard some were critical of Bomer so I'm glad he did alright. (how much do they show in that anyway?) I can't really see Quinto in that type of role, as I don't think he has the depth, but good for him. Parsons is a very good actor. It's a real credit to him that he doesn't seem to have let Sheldon typecast him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted July 11, 2018 Members Share Posted July 11, 2018 Meghann Fahy (Hannah, OLTL) is one of the leads on Freeform’s The Bold Type (its fantastic, watch it!) and she is quite good. Very charismatic. She’s also apparently dating Billy Magnussen (Casey, ATWT). Sean Ringgold (Shaun, OLTL) is again on this season of Luke Cage with a much more sizeable role an what looks like an even bigger part for next season. This next actor is also on this season of Luke Cage and I can’t believe I even spotted him considering I didn’t watch Guiding Light during any of his tenure but Kevin Mambo (Marcus) is one of the antagonists this season. He’s very good and his Jamaican accent is top notch. It’s funny that GL had two very successful black actors in the mid-90s in the form of Marcus and David Grant and squandered both. We see this repeated with the treatment of Mishael Morgan (and every other black actor on daytime) 20 years later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted July 11, 2018 Members Share Posted July 11, 2018 Sorry @Darn but I have to disagree, the Jamaican accents are terrible, lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted July 11, 2018 Members Share Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) His in particular or all of them? I’m not Jamaican but I’m around the accent a lot and I thought his and Bushmaster’s were good. Anansi’s too. His wife not so much.

Members Faulkner Posted July 11, 2018 Members Share Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) He really is, Jim Parsons. He goes for the nastiness, but you can really see the toxicity and self-hate peeking out behind it. And he’s funny as hell. You see Bomer in tighty-whiteys from basically the jump. Impressive body, of course, as that’s what he’s paid for. He’s just... ok, but I feel like that part is a bit underwritten anyway. To his credit, he lands a couple of really funny lines. I will say that, even with Matt Bomer parading around in his undies in the first scene, you can’t take your eyes off Jim Parsons. He’s just magnetic, and he can make wrapping gifts compelling. The guy I saw the play with REALLY hated Quinto. I thought he was funny, and the crowd absolutely erupted at almost all of his quips. But if you saw Leonard Frey’s performance in the original, Quinto’s version is a disappointing facsimile.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted July 11, 2018 Members Share Posted July 11, 2018 All of them. Part of my family is from Jamaica (and they also happen to live in Brooklyn) so the accents don't pass muster to me but I'm definitely a tough judge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted July 11, 2018 Members Share Posted July 11, 2018 I agree, Donald is one of the most appealing characters in TBITB but he never did do much, unfortunately. Frederick Combs, though Please register in order to view this content I crushed on him for years after watching the movie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted July 12, 2018 Members Share Posted July 12, 2018 Sean Ringgold is in everything these days. I'm surprised Boys has apparently gotten mixed reviews. I'd assume it's media's natural knee-jerk ambivalence to the play being un-PC, to be honest, as they've had for years, but I have no idea. I am so behind on the Marvel shows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted July 12, 2018 Members Share Posted July 12, 2018 How was Robin? Some friends of mine did In the Heights with him in MD, they speak highly of him as a person. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted July 12, 2018 Members Share Posted July 12, 2018 Poor Denise Nickerson. I had no idea she was ill (she had a stroke in June and has had other problems; her family is asking for money). http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-5943247/Willy-Wonka-Chocolate-Factory-star-Denise-Nickerson-61-suffers-stroke.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
