BM 9/10/2009 review - Do It Again

[The X-Factor]

I was gonna post this sooner, but I not only did I get distracted, I couldn't put it together in my head.

Just like Farce Side, Barren Mind has come back from its hiatus a different show. Sam is now the Director, Alex is his AD, and Bradford is back. They've also lost some people, such as Joe, Kyle, Stacey, and Alison, which sucks.

If the show is gonna keep being funny, there are some things you need to keep in mind. The first is, don't get complacent.

The second, keep the energy level up. The more energetic the performances are, the better the show.

The third, keep trying new things. On that note, mix it up a little. Try doing a game that hasn't been done in a while, or, come up with a new game.

I do like that Barren Mind is still using the "Open Scene" games on a regular basis. Before Stacey, the directors did not make much use of it. They encourage those performing to push themselves, since they don't have any gimmicks to work with.

Victor,

You didn't review anything.

X,

If your reviews are going to keep being posted, there are some things you need to keep in mind. The first, is don't be incompetent.

The second, please don't tell the people on stage how to do what they do. I'd like to see you do an open scene.

The third, don't tell them to not be proud of everything they do. They have fun on stage. And bring in big crowds. That's good.

The fourth, don't bring up past directors or cast members. They shouldn't be compared to people. "Review" them from a current standpoint. You wouldn't review a movie and compare it to fucking Citizen Cane. Then again, you wouldn't review a movie. You review college comedy shows... 'Nuff said.

Thanks,

Kyle's not on the cast anymore? I thought that guy with the glasses was just Kyle with worse eyesight than last year.

Sam watch out
Looks like there's a new director in town.
He's got some notes and he's not afraid to share them.

Thank god you mentioned the new director, assistant director, and bardford!
Glad to see bradford is back as well.
Don't mention that there are three other new cast members that have worked their way up the latter!
