Given recent crossover trends, I'm suprised this hasn't actually happened yet. Peter Gabriel could write the score.
I'm sure Heart will be writing the score.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I say musicals: popcorn for the masses!!
Unless you're Sondheim. Or Adam Guitell.

We must write this musical. Now. Gather the talent.
I suggest that You Must Chill should be a sprightly, yet with a somber undertone, dance number with a chorus line of chicken-suited men.

And of course, that showstopper "You must chill!"
I can see the kick line now.
"I am the key master!!!!"

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I despise Rent. However, I love the idea of a Say Anything musical, if only for the chicken-suited kickline.
Not that I have the time to look it up, but are there any studies done on depression and/or chemical dependency in actors or visual artists (or actors vs. visual artists)?
(As an aside, a running joke was that actors are alcoholics because their show is done in time to catch quality time at the bar, and musicians tend toward drug use because the set usually ends around bar close. I don't think it's entirely true, but....)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I like the play Art by Yasmina Reza.

I turned up one cite among a review of articles about Alcoholism and Occupation which covered actors, directors and stage managers but it seems to be tucked behind some academic journal subscription. One of the studies on creative writers had playwrights suffering the most from alcoholism - more than fiction writers and poets.

Alcoholism and Occupation which covered actors, directors and stage managers
I used to direct while drinking all the time in college and I felt it made me better (I was a little shy with the actors), but I cannot imagine stage managing while drinking. Of course, I can't imagine directing while drinking now, because drinking = me falling asleep.

Whoo. I can, and did. I was thinking more of the drinking afterwards to try to soothe the tension/rage, however.
