Andrew Garfield in ANGELS IN AMERICA

Yes, but no dick.

How is the ass?

boys in the band is the one I'm thirsty for

matt bomer ima gonna jump the stage and KISS UR ASS.

So his back is turned towards the audience or does he have something covering?

Thanks for the warning r3.

R4, he has something covering. I saw the NT Live broadcast where Russell Tovey played Joe Pitt, and we got to see his ass too. I assume Lee Pace - who will be Pitt on Broadway - will have to drop trou in that scene too.

I thought they covered Andrew up in the NT Live broadcast in a way they didn't when you actually saw the play at the National Theatre.

His career is not Spider-Man level anymore. Show. Peen.

That could well be R7.

R7, that’s true. We got nothing, not even butt cheek.

I find him oddly repulsive....

I want to fuck him hard, and fuck him often.

Try me again.

I want to see him naked but $400/seat is too much money.

I saw Angels in America on Saturday, this is an must see show. Andrew Garfield was an amazing Pryor and Lee Pace was also a stand out. Nathan Lane as Roy Cohn was good too if he restrained his queeny persona which slipped out occasionally. This is a darker version of the original but equally as riveting.

I have tickets for part 2 this coming Saturday.

shame they wasted 2 Spider-Man movies on that fug.

creepy face

rather spend my $ on Boys in Band.

full of hotties and fab actors.

Does Garfield still sound like a drag queen performing Tennessee Williams monologues?

Does r19 still type like a vagina walking on stiletto heels?

R19 He played the role exactly as it should have been played. The cast received a long standing ovation at the end of the play.

I guess it's improved since London, then, because the National Theatre one was SHIT.

It was hard to watch as a play on the screen, I thought, r22. I couldn't tell whether I liked it or not, the lighting was so unreal for a movie. I love Andrew Garfield, so I'll watch him in almost anything (I couldn't slog through that war movie), but I found the NT production difficult to really enjoy.

The only annoying part of the play was the 2 elderly fraus sitting behind me one kept coughing and the other kept laughing during the more intense scenes this is not a comedy.

The gave a standing ovation because after 7 hours they couldn’t stay seated for another second.

Likewise, if you have an annoying row mate, you’re stuck with them all day and night. I would have have to bring personal security guards.

The broadcast was thoroughly mediocre. I doubt this is any better.

So it’s not worth it?

R28 It's worth it don't listen to the flyover douches posting from their basement.

Especially if you like Andrew Garfield.

When's the last time every show DIDN'T get a standing ovation? It literally means nothing.

Sondheim wisely observed that Standing Os are so common now because tickets are so expensive audiences need to feel 1) involved 2) convinced it was worth the price.

I like standing ovations. I've been sitting for two hours already.

I got through part 1 of the NT broadcast. Garfield was a shrieking drag queen. I'm sorry, he was. (Being fem and aggressively telegraphing "fem" are two different things) The Scottish guy playing Louis was so fixated on keeping his Noo Yawk aksent he felt completely lost. Nathan Lane was Nathan Lane, no more no less. Russel Tovey was okay. Harper was amazing. Marianne Elliott is a choreographer, not a director.

Never got Garfield's appeal, tho he was good in Red Riding trilogy....one of the great trilogys ever.

[quote]I doubt this is any better

Well, this one does have Le Pace and his penis. There is that.

Russell Tovey, whom I’m not a fan of, is far more attractive than Lee Pace could ever with his weird closeted coldness, so there’s not that.

I partly agree with R34 about Garfield "telegraphing" femme. When he dropped that in certain scenes he was much better.

Lane was Lane in the first scene with the telephone and Joe, but after that he was riveting IMO. Tovey actually manages to make Joe sympathetic, which not even Patrick Wilson could manage (nor David Marshall Grant in the original Broadway production). I would think Lee Pace would make Joe much chillier.

I didn't care much for the NT Harper - I've never seen anyone nail that role (including Mary Louise "marbles in her mouth" Parker).

Russel Tovey, Lee Pace and Andrew Garfield all show penis?

I thought Lane, Garfield, and Tovey were all excellent. I loathed the Harper in the NT broadcast.

I thought Pace was incredible. He was "chillier" like r38 forecasts but when he breaks, it's all the more painful for it.

Tovey just seemed like a dope, like he always does.

Tovey was horrible in Angels here at the NT. I’d love to see Lee Pace. For me, the actor who walked away with the show was James McArdle as Louis. Fucking brilliant. It’s a thankless role because he’s such an unlikable character but most actors’ egos can’t handle it. McArdle doesn’t shy away from it and actually makes Louis grow through the story. Love him.

If you can believe it, Garfield was even worse in Pt 2.

The fact that you thought McArdle was even passable negates your entire opinion. He was embarrassing.

And entirely distracting, R44. McArdle took me out of the story countless times.

The fact that you thought McArdle wasn’t brilliant means your taste is for shit. Everyone I know in London who saw it thought he was wonderful as well. It was Denise Gough’s harpy Harper that completely ruined the production. Well, that and Tovey’s honey-baked ham performance. I loved Garfield though.

You’re a moron R44. Stop talking.

I agree. R44 is a fucking moron.

[quote]The fact that you thought McArdle wasn’t brilliant means your taste is for shit.

Oh honey, bless your heart, no. It just means you fundamentally misunderstand the play. McArdle played the gamut of emotions from A to B, and his accent sucked.

[quote]Everyone I know in London who saw it thought he was wonderful as well.

And now we know why London hits flop in NYC.

[quote]It was Denise Gough’s harpy Harper that completely ruined the production.

Again, betraying a fundamental misunderstanding of the play. The character is supposed to be a fucked-up hot mess.

[quote]loved Garfield though.

Who was channeling Harvey Feirstein playing Blanche DuBois. Well you're consistent at least.

What's the scoop on James McArdle? Is he openly gay? There must be some Brit DLers who've had him.

McArdle isn’t gay, unfortunately.

R49, if that’s your take, knock yourself out, but you must be a graduate of the Corky St. Claire School of Theatre. If you’re representative of NY theatre, then no wonder you need UK productions coming over. Though of course you sent us Hamilton, for which we’re so very, very grateful. In the meantime, keep teaching those acting classes while the Brits get all the work, luv.

R51, you need to pull your head out of your ass. The acting in the NT Production of AiA was among the worst I've seen in a while (and I'm not R49). Garfield was Tommy Wiseau level bad. Tovey was way in over his head (though he did improve in Part 2, but that may have been because anything looked good next to Garfield literally SCREAMING every line). And yes, McArdle was so busy looking at his feet to make sure that he didn't trip over his American accent that he barely bothered with a characterization.

As for Denise Gough, it felt like she received ONE direction from Marianne Elliott and decided to play just that.

The other two women were decent, though Hannah waned in Pt 2. Nathan was okay when he didn't rest on his Nathanisms, and the guy who played Belize was community theatre competent.

It was a joke bringing this thing to America.

Wait, so Garfield drops trou in the US but not at the NT? What gives? I guess he didn't want it filmed?

R53 He kept his white boxers on so he wasn't showing anything.

[quote][R49], if that’s your take, knock yourself out, but you must be a graduate of the Corky St. Claire School of Theatre. If you’re representative of NY theatre, then no wonder you need UK productions coming over.

Sticks and stones, etc.

So perhaps you'd like to explain to the class precisely why Garfield's drag queen hysterics and McArdle's "dear god let me get the accent right" non-acting were so brilliant? And what they contributed to the world of this play?

Why is Pace's closeted coldness weird? It's exactly the way his character is supposed to be, isn't it?

[quote] Why is Pace's closeted coldness weird? It's exactly the way his character is supposed to be, isn't it?

He meant over the past 15 years

R57 He is officially out at the time of the play/

I saw both plays Millennium Approaches and Perestroika it is worth seeing. Garfield was terrific in both. Lee Pace gets naked in Perestroika, nice butt, small dick.

[quote]nice butt, small dick.

It's just normal sized, rather than porn-sized. It's not a "princess tinymeat" situation.

He is not out R58. He hemmed and hawed in a pathetic interview and said he was bi, which is 100% not true.

[quote]said he was bi, which is 100% not true

Or would it be 50% not true?

I C WHUT U DID THERE R62!

Blocked retard Lee Pace obsessive at R62.

Not me, R64. I am completely neutral on the subject of Pace. I'm here for the Garfield.

Does Nathan show peen?

Rotten actor. With a face made for radio.

This Angels has gotten sterling reviews today.

Excited to see it in two weeks!

Lee Pace has a normal sized penis but he himself is ENORMOUS - six foot five with the broadest of shoulders - and so "normal" from a distance looks out of proportion. I have a feeling if I had that thing in my hand I'd be in for a super sized treat.

R61 He expicitly stated he dated men as well as women, how is that not out to you?

Lee Pace looked great when he took off all of his clothes and walked around the stage in AiA.

He’s never dated women. He’s only fucked men. He’s a liar and a bad one, and a weird cold creepy actor.

R61 Are you Pace himself? If no, then how can you know his actual sexual identity better than he does?

R19 yes
