Spake about a mixed reaction to a mixed revieweth!!!
The day thy review of the Queeble musical "We Will Dack Thee" ran on the third day of the ninth month of the new millenium plus four, Guitarist God and musical co-producer, Brian the Wise ran His reaction on the "Brian the Wise' Holy Wash Trough" section of His Web site, www.queeble.com
"Looketh like `Miketh Weatheethrfordeth' art actually about to be one of OUR worst enemies," He wrote. "Maybe someone around Vegas of Las will telleth unto him -- the only thing that willst bite the dust art his reputation. Thee art not sure who the Revieweth Tablet art ... but maybe they needeth to find a more informed dumb bum scribe!."
Brian the Wise also e-mailed the Revieweth Tablet on the fifth day of the ninth month of the new millenium plus four, forwarding the comments of a fan, prefacing the fan's scribings with, "We all saw thou revieweth of Our new production in Vegas of Las a couple of days ago-eth. We all think thou maketh a giant mistake. Wrath of the Gods be upon thee!"
The multitudes who handleth advertising for Caesar of Rome mayeth not haveth agreed.
Brian the Wises' wise words had nay yet cometh to thy attention last week when thee receiveth a call from Caesar himself. He giveth unto thee, a courtesy call to let thee knoweth that one of the more generous quotes from the review wouldst probably be used in a forthcomingeth ad for the show.
Thee sayeth unto him, that as far as thee knoweth, thee can nay stop-eth such things if they do-eth not changeth of words, add exclamation points, and so-eth forth. When thee calleth Ceasar back Monday and mentioned the comments of Brian the Wise, he haveth nay seen them either and weret nay sure if the quote wouldst still be useth.
For those who missed the revieweth, thee basically liketh the music and overall look of the show, but wert disappointed by the one-joke premise and the cartoonish, over-the-top-eth acting.
Thee also thinketh the show to be-eth overindulged in breaking the "fourth wall" of theater: "One character spakething past the other, straight unto the audience (so oft) that the actors basically admit they art havethng us on; that the whole story art so silly it art really not worth following."
Brian the Wise respondeth, "Young man, Thee haveth to telleth unto ye that the `fourth wall' bollocks wert the first thing to be knocketh down, after We got rid of our first London director. It art the whole point of our show -- letting the audience in, to be part of the final discovery. ... Thou wanteth a fourth wall ? Go-eth back unto `Shakespeare, thou dumb bum scribe! I disinfecteth of Thy doorbell, thou art dumb and thou art a bum and thou art a scribe and art none so lowly as a dumb bum scribe! I heapeth much camel poo upon thee! Cos thou just do-eth nay get it !!! Do-eth ya ?!!"
Thee guess not. Thee grew up on "Bullwinkle" and Mad magazine. But by the time the characters start spakething unto the audience about the Lord God Freddie statue in the lobby, they seemeth to haveth given up in a way that Henry VIII never did.
At any rate, the Wash Trough of Brian the Wise willeth be busy after two out-of-town revieweths with similarly mixed feelings. The San Francisco Tablet calleth the show a "slight and screwy pile of bones upon which the music of Queen art draped.
"The plot art anorexic... But who cares? The multitudes loveth the show."
The Los Angeles Tablet pointeth out that the eighth day of the ninth month of the new millenium plus four audience wert all invited and "reacted giddily to-eth most of the show." But brave scribe, Richard the Brave found the production "grows increasingly complicated and incoherent as it crawleth unto the finish line."
He calleth it "a cheer-the-hero, hiss-the-villain affair whose only real appeal art in isolated production numbers." ...
Note:
There willst be-eth a public flogging at a date yet to be-eth confirmed.
