Peter Pan Live (NBC)

[bosawks]

So the Lost Boy's clothing ranges from steampunk, hipster, and a bit of lederhosen?

And half of them look eligible for AARP.

[maraleia]

Walken is clearly phoning it in and those Lost Boys...they are almost geriatric.

[bosawks]

Sue me, I'm kinda digging the fun couple of Borle/Walken.

I am not digging CGI at all!

But are you digging the psychedelic croc?

Only if he spits out Carrie Underwood wearing lederhosen ...

I'm thinking "take a sip every time someone says 'croc' " would be a good entry in the drinking game for this evening.  Anyone else have additions?

I enjoy Walken, but I do not think he is a great Captain Hook. There had to be better actors out there that fit the part better. Then again, the casting in this is pretty bad all around considering Wendy and the Lost Boys look so old. The Sound of Music kids did not look this old.

I would dig the psychedelic croc if he ate everyone then did a tap number on the pirate ship.

[bosawks]

I'd say every time someone's British accent slips but I'm not a serial killer.....

And I already realize I'm all in for next year's trainwreck!

Miley Cyrus as Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady Live?

[ByaNose]

Why does the dog look fake?

[bosawks]

Miley Cyrus as Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady Live?

Lady Ga Ga as Miss Hannigan.

Which would be awesome! Though I feel they would go more family friendly. Maybe Miley can be Annie?

 

It's been a long time since I have read or seen Peter Pan, so this whole Wendy as their mother thing seems a bit creepy.

[Laurie4H]

Is it just me or is Allison Williams voice less than stellar? I think she probably has a good ear but not trained to sing live.

Ha! The tantrum boy almost took a digger off the slide.

[bmoore4026]

Apparently, Peter got his Lost Boys as they were going to school.

 

Also, it seems like "you can never, never grow old" might be overselling Neverland a bit much.

And I thought this was the lowest NBC's live extravaganzas could go. Thanks for reminding me that, yes, it CAN be even worse!

[Snow Apple]

Oh My!. I just channel surfed there and I'm so embarrassed. This makes last year's Sound of Music look like a masterpiece.

It's a hard-knock life.

So Peter should be on To Catch a Predator?

Wendy made cookies and sweet tea.  Take a seat, Peter

[WendyCR72]

For us (that means the viewers).

[rustyspigot]

For a moment there was an Ed Grimly pirate with the triangle.

[bmoore4026]

Not enough gay pirates in the media, I think.

[Misslindsey]

Captain Hook plays a mean tambourine.

[ByaNose]

So, a girl just can't be Peter Pan, right? Are we too beyond that? Allison Williams isn't bad but she ain't believable either. I'm sure her father is proud though.

To look on the bright side, at least they didn't cast Lena Dunham in the role.

She would probably find a reason for Peter to be naked. Or she would wear the mesh part of Peter's costume without any other clothing.

[opus]

I like the hit Tinkerbell put out on Wendy. Followed by the Wal Mart commercial, "That's a bow and arrow, like they used on Wendy."

[bmoore4026]

Pockets are a big deal?

"I won't grow up"   Too late

[Fabricationary]

So that's where my mailman went today!

[bmoore4026]

That one Lost "Boy" in the blue blazer and slacks is rather cute.

[movingtargetgal]

Christopher Walken seems to be reading his lines off of cue cards.  His movements are  stiff and he is very pale.  I wonder if he is sick?  I'm just throwing it out there because I have never known Walken to be so lackluster in any performance.

[Misslindsey]

I might be a bit more receptive of this if they did not go for a name actor/actress in the lead role and go with a more Broadway actor, but that will never happen. Then again, I am not sure I want that to happen because I do enjoy snarking on it all.

 

These Lost Men have already grown up Peter. Can't you see that?

He's probably lamenting, "This is what my career is reduced to!"

[bmoore4026]

Woooo!  Gay Indians!

[FlyingEgret]

Anyone else getting a frat vibe from the cave?

[bmoore4026]

Hmmmm, diplomacy versus active aggression?  This is about The War on Terror, ain't it?

[Misslindsey]

Tiger Lily has quite the dress on.

[aradia22]

The accents are all over the place. Somehow the everyone in the Darling family has a different accent and Allison and Christian are losing their battle to at least maintain a single accent throughout the show. Losing his hand seems to have also paralyzed Hook's face. On the plus side, Allison's voice isn't bad. It's not very refined. It's kind of like "loud/soft, loud/soft, loud/soft" but at least there are dynamics. 

[Fabricationary]

Nice "10 years with Brian Williams" promo just now.

 

SNL certainly has a lot of fodder for their inevitable parody this week.  

[bmoore4026]

"The Puberty Song"

Bring on Esther Williams!

[Misslindsey]

Wendy, Peter is just not that into you.

[bmoore4026]

I'm loving the bearded pirate.

[TeslaNewton]

That was a cheap looking comb.

Please Captain Hook do another tap number and incorporate your mad tambourine skills.

 

This Captain Hook could not kill anything. He is so slow and half assed. He could have killed Peter many times during this song.

Edited December 5, 2014 by Misslindsey

[bmoore4026]

I am just not feeling it from either of them :(

[Misslindsey]

Allison Williams just does not have any spark or charisma like I think Peter should, especially if he is kidnapping or convincing these Lost Boys (Men) to go with him to "Neverland".

[TeslaNewton]

The Lost Men are very disturbing.

[aradia22]

This Tiger Lily song is terrible but I have no problem with the muscular male ensemble.
