Comments for Loot-efisk: "Church Basement Ladies," at the Timber Lake Playhouse through August 24 at http://www.rcreader.com , comment 1 to 11 out of 11 comments http://www.rcreader.com Wed, 19 Jun 2013 23:24:04 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.rcreader.com/theatre/loot-efisk-church-basement-ladies/#comment-986 A thoughtful negative review is infinitely more useful to me than a mindless positive drone. - schqc Mon, 25 Aug 2008 16:11:11 +0100 http://www.rcreader.com/theatre/loot-efisk-church-basement-ladies/#comment-985 He probably would love it if it were performed by his beloved Prenzies. - Tom C.

I also saw it opening night. Truth be told some folks went up on lines accidently and subsequently the song was skipped during that performance. I heard it opening night but NOT night 2. No biggie though. Enjoy the show. - Timber fan Fri, 22 Aug 2008 15:07:56 +0100 http://www.rcreader.com/theatre/loot-efisk-church-basement-ladies/#comment-978 Mike Schulz has confirmed with Timber Lake General Manager Richard Hall that "Pale Food Polka" was omitted on opening night but not subsequent shows. - Jeff Ignatius Fri, 22 Aug 2008 06:59:55 +0100 http://www.rcreader.com/theatre/loot-efisk-church-basement-ladies/#comment-977 Okay, I don't get it. Are people actually, mad at a reviewer for having an opinion. Isn't that the whole point. Mike's opinions were well explained. If you don't like them why not counter his arguments as opposed to speculating on his character or mood. After all Mike doesn't say, "That actor was unconvincing, maybe he hates audiences and wants them to suffer." You could also try refuting him by explaining why exactly you liked the performance. Also, the mistake about the song doesn't suggest he wasn't there, his review is way too specific to be faked. - Andy K Thu, 21 Aug 2008 19:56:19 +0100 http://www.rcreader.com/theatre/loot-efisk-church-basement-ladies/#comment-976 Are you people serious? Have you actually read any other of Mike's reviews? Actually, don't answer that because I have a hard time believing that you even read this one. The truth is that Mike's reviews are more often than not positive ones. If you were a regular reader, you would see that. In fact as a regular reader, I would say he can sometimes be too positive not overly negative. He has every right to think a script is crap, even if the production is good, which seems to be the case here. Before you criticize him, maybe you should go back and actually read some of his reviews and if that's still not good enough, start your own review page. - Lou Hare Thu, 21 Aug 2008 16:55:04 +0100 http://www.rcreader.com/theatre/loot-efisk-church-basement-ladies/#comment-972 Some cheese with that whine, Mike? - Donny Elmstad Thu, 21 Aug 2008 14:31:56 +0100 http://www.rcreader.com/theatre/loot-efisk-church-basement-ladies/#comment-971 I do not understand why Mr. Schulz is so negative with his reviews. He must think he is better than the readers and audience members in his area. it proves from the comments here that he did not see this production or did not pay attention since he comments on a song that was not even in this production. Perhaps the management staff at the reader should look into getting a reviewer that can pay attention during productions that they are to review. A simple this is not my cup of tea would be enough and then write on the production itself not just a bunch of hot air being blown around. Does this man think he is writing for the New York Times? Please realize where you are and who the audience of your paper is do not criticize us for what we may find entertaining. If this were a paper I subscribed to I would be canceling my subscription. Get over yourself Mr. Schulz. I must agree with Mr. Jankowiak did you try once to write a play and can't get over the fact that it was a flop??? - Janice Freiburg Thu, 21 Aug 2008 14:25:09 +0100 http://www.rcreader.com/theatre/loot-efisk-church-basement-ladies/#comment-969 Busted! :D :D :D - Darrell Jankowiak Thu, 21 Aug 2008 09:55:19 +0100 http://www.rcreader.com/theatre/loot-efisk-church-basement-ladies/#comment-968 I also saw that show the night before you did, and Mike, you mentioned that one of the show's numbers was "Pale Food Polka". I'm sorry to tell you that they cut out "Pale Food Polka"from their version. Did you really see it at Timber Lake or are you using a previous review? - C. Wollan Wed, 20 Aug 2008 22:04:55 +0100 http://www.rcreader.com/theatre/loot-efisk-church-basement-ladies/#comment-967 Wow...somebody took an extra crabby pill today. Yet another "I can't understand why everyone around me was having such a great time! They must be morons" review. Yawn... Let me guess, Mike...you tried to write plays once, and nobody came to see them. Sour grapes eventually turn into wrinkled, old, insignificant things. - Darrell Jankowiak Wed, 20 Aug 2008 16:06:33 +0100
