The Lofficier review is up, which means if I am giving out one A+ grade per year, 2010 is officially taken. Sorry, all other things I review this year.
And now it's on to one of the reviews we've all (three) been waiting for: the Schumacher/Butler film. Wait with bated breath.
The Phantom Project is Anne's ongoing attempt to read, view, listen to, or otherwise experience every version of the classic Gothic serial novel The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux, and then review it in lurid detail for her own enjoyment. Comments, contacts, and information are always welcome. If you've accidentally found your way to only the blog, visit the Phantom Project here.

Still plugging on the next review, which will hopefully be up in the next couple of days. In the meantime: adventures on Amazon. Someone remind me to never calculate how much money I have spent on this project to day, because if John finds that figure he will burn down my bookshelves.
Kae D. Jacobs' novel seems to be out in a new edition, with a fancy new Amazon listing. Is there actually new content, or did she just change the cover? That sucker is expensive and I already bought the old edition, so this is an important question for me.
Also, what is up with Sabrina Callahan? She seems to imply that only one of her books is Phantom-based (The Phantom's Song), but the hero's name appears to be Erik in every single one of her other fiction works (or, in the hilarious case of her sci-fi adventure on another planet, "Erikian"). Someone on the internet enlighten me so I don't have to buy all of these, only to find that some are not relevant. I'm not actually made of money (or barter, or sexual favors, or anything else that would be useful here). Amazon is CONVINCED that I should buy them to be sure, but then again I feel they might be a little bit biased.

Google Webmaster Tools is a wonderful invention. Without it, how would I know that a full 80% of people who find my site off of Google do so because they were googling the names of adult film stars? Sorry, sir or madam who was looking for "Kyle Stone porn" or "Jamie Gillis adult"; your dreams will not find fruition here, unless you have a secret kink involving the examination of social strata in your dirty movies.
Hi, other 20%! Most of you are kids writing papers, seeking something you can copy and paste with minimal effort! You should probably go, too. There's a little much swearing around here for your average professor.
Apparently, I want to be left alone in my corner of the internet. Like the crochety old schadenfreudian hermit I am.

The Vehlow review is up... quite a wordcount for such a little book. I'm on to the slightly daunting task of the first Taormina book, but I'll keep swimming!

I just gotta say that with all the Love Never Dies bootlegs and copies of the score floating around, it is getting increasingly difficult not to listen to them.
Come on, Anne, straighten up! You haven't even gotten through Webber's 2004 movie yet, and you can't just be doing things willy-nilly! We have a timeline here for a reason!
