In which malvito is curious

1) What would you define as the difference in your relationship now that you all (or, to honor mah Missourah heritage, "y'all") have declared yourselves as being officially engaged? Not much, really, if anything. I expect that at some point (i.e. after the rings arrive from the shop) this will transition us into a phase where we have to talk more about the relationship outside the household, but that's about it. It's more a symbolic event than a transformational one, I suppose.

2) What would be your ideal job? capriciouslass already asked that one, so I'm dodging it here.

3) Did AGAMEMNON kill your desire to stage manage again, or only under certain directors? Eh, to say I ever had a desire to stage manage is probably a vast overstatement. I will do it, but it's not like something I really get excited about doing -- it's the theater equivalent of the administrative assistant, you know, the only position on the staff that's not in any way required to be creative. But no, I would certainly never work with the gentleman in question again in any capacity. My tolerance for aggravation is not so high, you know? I would, however, like to be in a show sometime, if my schedule will ever allow it.

4) You remember your dreams so vividly (I envy that about you); do you feel this to be an advantage or do you have moments in which you wish you had a bit more control over the dream content? I actually can manipulate the content some of the time. But it's often more interesting to simply see where it's going. Then, later, you can be like, what the hell was that about? Can I do anything with that?

5) Do you have a favorite movie genre? Depends. Is 'films about giant monsters' a genre? 'Cuz I prefer that.

Gorilla is always hiring... although James might be directing next year. I'm not sure what was so agitating about him, I've worked with him for 5 years and never had complaint. But then, I think he like-likes me. 8-)

Thinking back, I never really had a problem with anyone in Gorilla... as long as you understand and accept that it is directed by a "true anarchist". This was put to me by one of the veterans from this year's show, and it warmed my little grinch heart. 8-)

Mostly what bothers me about him is his bizarre attention to minute and meaningless detail while completely ignoring huge themes in the text that could be brought out for examination. Instead, he's totally and completly focused on making his actors stand in exact formation. I suspect he'd make a better choreographer than director. Anyway, it annoys me.

I do like most of the rest of the Gorilla crew, I think (assuming I still know who they are, anyway). I like David L quite a bit, certainly.
