In fact, I think the term "Hawaiian Pizza" is an oxyidiot.
It's self contradictory. If it's Hawaiian, it's not a pizza, period. You could have all the right ingredients, leave off the ham and pineapple, have Original Ray make it in a brick oven, and if he serves it in Hawaii, it's not a pizza, just by virtue of location. The idea of exporting something that doesn't exist in the first place...
Only in America.

I just gotta weigh in on the pineapple thingy.
I _like_ pizza with Canadian bacon and pineapple on it. Call it whatever you want Raf, it was a pizza dough when they put the toppings on it.
What I don't get is the inordinate praise lavished on "New York" pizza. I had pizza a several joints in Manhattan, feh, it was dough with glop on it. Maybe I'm not one to judge, I seldom eat the stuff anyhow. I got my fill years ago.
And bagels were another thing. I've heard for years about how _wonderful_ they were in New York. Nowhere else even came close. We're talking about dough, people. It's boiled and then baked, but it's just a glob of dough. They don't taste any different in New York. Sorry...
Blasphemy! Idolatrous heretic!

Oh boy. It's rough in there huh? I sure don't want to argue with anybody. I just want to get along. There is enough misery in this old world already. But I guess we do have our different beliefs and people want to argue there beliefs I guess.So, if it's not pizza if it has ham and pineapple on it, what do you call it Raf? Fauxpizza?
And. You all are really nice.
A damn travesty is what I call it.
Crime against the palate.

I have no problem whatsoever with pineapples. I think pineapples are God's gift to Dole. I loves me some pineapples.
It's just that the moment you put it on a piece of bread with cheese and tomato sauce, that piece of bread with cheese and tomato sauce ceases to be a pizza. A little pineapple pineappleth the whole slice. Alls I'm saying is, you may think it tastes great, and I may even agree with you. It just ain't a pizza.

Yes, I saw it. Leo did do a terrific job (especially at the Congressional hearing).
There are two plane "crash" sequences, one of which is phenomenal and scary as hell.
The women were... not so good. Cate Blanchett parodies rather than captures Kate Hepburn (although there are moments of absolute brilliance in her portrayal). And I will be in love with Kate (what the hell) Beckinsale as long as I live, but she made a lousy Ava Gardner.

Happy birthday, Stranger. Glad you like the hat!

The swordfight was stuck in (no pun intended) at the scene where Christine visits her father's grave. In the stage production it's when the Phantom starts shooting cheesy looking fireballs at Christine and Raoul. The swordfight replaced that. It's not a great swordfight, but not an awful one either (my standards are low). It's just that the ending of the swordfight is utterly unforgivable. I mean, it's "I'm a-fixin' to walk out on this movie" bad.

I second that. Thank you see me, for this thread and your courage for facing your convictions, and following through with them.
Well, I guess I'll have to be third then, or fourth, or...
See Me: you're an inspiration. Thank you for posting.

Oh my, I almost forgot!
WordWolf and I (and three others) saw the stage production once from the front row! You could actually see the Phantom spit as he sang (ewwww).
But there was no swordfight.
The Scarlet Pimpernel had a swordfight. Dang cool one, too.
Now THAT musical should be made into a movie.

I believe someone requested this. I swiped it from a web site, but I've gotten it by e-mail many times too...

Dear Dr. Laura,Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind him that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate.
I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the specific laws and how to best follow them.
a) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
b) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
c) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev 15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
d) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
e) I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?
f) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an Abomination (Lev 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?
g) Lev 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?
h) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev 19:27. How should they die?
i) I know from Lev 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
j) My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? (Lev 24:10-16) Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help.
Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.
Your devoted disciple and adoring fan.

It's not even good enough to be on THAT list.
I exaggerate. Its one redeeming quality is the guy who plays Raoul. He's very good, very charismatic. Raoul, and Christine...
Its TWO redeeming qualities are Raoul and Christine, or more to the point, Christine's legs, which are cute. They would be more than cute, but she was underage at the time.
The Phantom himself, get this, could not sing. By this I mean he wasn't very good. The score had to be dropped an octave at certain points to accomodate his low voice: if you're going to immortalize Phantom of the Opera on film, for Pete's sake get someone who can sing the part!
There's a not-half-bad sword fight that ends SO RIDICULOUSLY that you want to just walk out on the movie right then and there.

Oh... my... God...
I liked the stage production. Didn't LOVE it. Just LIKED it. It was okay. Very, very classy ending.
This movie... how do I put this delicately? ...
SUCKED!

Even if she had shot everyone and then herself, no one would have gotten hurt. Has to actually have happened to hurt someone. This, alas, is an urban legend. And if, like me, you've seen a few episodes of Judging Amy, you might recognize this as something that happened to Tyne Daly's character.
