...while supporting a new album, that is. Because that's what we're takling about, here. The entire Bat album would be a cool thing to see live... but if I had to choose between Bat And Hang Cool, I'd choose HC right now.
Either way, another non issue, moving on... Doode :cool: |

That would be an exciting project .. And yes, I can see the Depp in the central role :-) Happy to conjure with that thought for a while :) I've often wondered if Himself would like to turn his dramatic hand to directing .... Caryl |
I don't know about directing ... but he and Brett Cullen already have their own production company :wink:
|
Yes, I know .. Yellow Rose. Still I wonder if Meat would like to direct rather than manage all the headaches of production. He loves film and imo has the clearest picture of the storyline playing out. I'd love to see him directly involved if this were to become a reality.

Maybe it's something to consider when he's no longer capable of performing in front of the camera/audience. I think Meat's greatest asset is himself and he should get as much out of the Meat Loaf character as possible. I think that makes sense. :nuts:
Personally I'd rather see Meat turn his hand to presenting when he hangs up the singing scarf. I think he'd make a great Bruce Forsyth style host. |
Oh, I think he's a fine actor, and certainly wouldn't want to see a directing debut take the place of that. He's rightly choosy about the roles he takes, seeking challenge rather than size of role, so we don't see him enough IN films imo. But directing for eg a fiilm version of HCTB, even IF it came about, wouldn't preclude him from continuing as an actor surely .. and here he capitalises on his skills as an actor rather than the Meat Loaf character. Although I'd hope to see him on stage as the latter for more years :)
And yes .. when he puts his touring trousers away he'd make a marvellous presenter .. but his love of film and his film career have always run alongside his singing career, so I wasn't suggesting this would be an instead of or indeed post touring project. Not putting it forward as anything highly likely to come to pass .. but should a film come from the album, whether he'd see himself in the role of the soldier I'm not sure. Stage and film are very different media, and the audience expectation different. I'd want to hear his voice :) .. but whether he'd play the central character? Not so sure about that. And he would have the best understanding of what should be portrayed, and has the skills imo to know how to bring that out. But it's only a bit of positive musing .. not intended as career guidance ;) Caryl |
Hypothetically, if there was a Hang Cool movie, I could so see Meat playing the physical manifestation of the Soldier's conscience. The good and the bad. But obviously in a very grounded way (rather than the fun version in the LA vid). A performance that's really edgy. Full of subtext. Is he good, is he evil, will the Soldier buy it? Will he rebel against it? Can he do anything about it?
I'll stop right there (!) before I end up writing the entire part :p Doode :cool: |
Stopping by this thread to show some love....because what I'm loving right now are all these sporty interviews (radio and written). Meat's talking about things that peak my interests...but not only that, he's put to rest a thorn in the side interview by the Sun.
Despite volcanoes and illegal bootlegs now avail. online, the HCTB train is overall positive. Cheers! Suzieq |

Yes, like turning a frown upside down Tink. Yin Yang, life gives you lemons make lemonade, and all that stuff. Someone can easily spot a negative but you can either keep it there or overcome it. Sometimes it's how you turn it into a positive that needs to be brought to light. :)

Hmm. Can't help thinking that maybe I should've labelled this 'Objective Positivity'? Man, I could've said that better. Better stop right there. Maybe it's because I'm masculine (okay, that was a stretch).
Doode. |

If any have a mantle of disillusionment so be it. I am so far from any dismal thoughts they aren't even visible as a speck on the distant horizon! For me Meat has yet again woven his magic and delivered in spades. I have simply loved all the activity he has shared with us, and will look forward to seeing and hearing more, as he continues to promote the album and then embarks on a tour. Where it is, is where it is .. and there will be fans who delight in his performances and share their experiences :-) I consider my self lucky to follow a performer who, even though he wasn't chucked on stage whilst almost an embryo and didn't achieve world wide recognition until he was in his early thirties, over 30 years on is STILL so energetic, so creative, so filled with passion for what he does that he continues to delight me and so many. I waited for the new album with excitement, and now I have it :D I feel no sense of deflation because he's now in his own country working to bring it to people's attention there, because I have yet another album, and imo his most significant, and I derive huge pleasure from listening to it. That Meat is no longer in my back yard is not something that saddens me, even though I am always delighted when he is here. He's an American, he's back home, and that's where he is most of the time. But he's in my world, and that's pretty special. Every time I have attended a concert I have thought how lucky I am to have been put onto the planet at the same time as this remarkable entertainer. I still feel that way every time I play his new album :-) I too hope it will prove to be successful beyond his wildest dreams. I wanted it to be brilliant, I expected it to be so, and imo it is. So in my world there are no deflated balloons, no tired streamers on the floor, no cake squooshed into the carpet ;) What I see still is a hugely talented man in love with performing and in love with a new work .. and I feel elation that he still has all the fire and passion that first drew me to him, still has the drive to keep pushing forwards, and the creativity to deliver something remarkable. My glass is not merely half-full .. it's brimming and fizzing!! It's a great time! The party continues in full swing! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: Caryl |
