In light of the upcoming film musical Nine, I've embarked on a most exciting collaboration with talented theater-blogger Zev Valancy of On Chicago Theatre. Since he doesn't really know a whole lot about 8½ (the 1963 Federico Fellini movie on which the stage musical was based), and I don't know hardly anything about Nine (the 1982 Maury Yeston musical upon which the new movie is based), we've decided to join forces and take a look at the way that the basic material - Italian filmmaker with creative block remembers his lifetime of women troubles - has evolved as it has moved from one medium to another.
The first entry, a two-part consideration of Fellini's movie, is up right now at Zev's place: go here, then here.

Just a few rules so that everybody can have fun: ad hominem attacks on the blogger are fair; ad hominem attacks on other commenters will be deleted. And I will absolutely not stand for anything that is, in my judgment, demeaning, insulting or hateful to any gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or religion. And though I won't insist on keeping politics out, let's think long and hard before we say anything particularly inflammatory.
Also, sorry about the whole "must be a registered user" thing, but I do deeply hate to get spam, and I refuse to take on the totalitarian mantle of moderating comments, and I am much too lazy to try to migrate over to a better comments system than the one that comes pre-loaded with Blogger.
