The ventriloquist dummy stream notes
@whatyouwill: uwe is like if you gave one actor a different script and he acted and sang his heart out but everyone else is doing an entirely different show
@GlassPrism: Also supposedly there were so few seats sold during his short run that his fan club started filling in seats, and that's who is clapping after the title song. They are NOT clapping to cheer on the Christine, they are clapping bc Uwe was about to start MOTN
@Ravens_Reproach: I love that there are two languages present and neither are English [there were Chinese subtitles on this German stream]
@warpweight: the hardcoded subs make me so nostalgic for watching old bootleg dvds on my friend's family's dvd player in like 2001 when it was so exciting to see a MOVIE on a DISC
@Luukfy: I wasn't aware Uwe had a fanclub! Is he big in the German mosicals scene, or famous from cinema or someting else? @GlassPrism: He is HUGE in German musical theater
@paper-faces: im so excited to find out if i love him or hate it, the prediction is hate given the re views. but i do like Choices phantoms. but it sounds like this might be a different Choices phantom then we mean LOL
film rec from Gnoss! @les-gnossiennes-fantomatiques: it's a david lean movie from 1949 called the passionate friends, our boy claude raines is also in it @les__gnossiennes: david lean went through a period where all he did was make movies about middle aged women in unhappy marriages who wanna run off with a posh tall man who makes them think about sex @les__gnossiennes: but halfway through I had to pause bc i was like "this is so much phantom thread aura" but anyway!!
@wheel-of-fish: full orchestra my beloved
@from-aldebaran I have determined these subtitles actually say "Let's receive thy joyous God"
a fact of the day from Celina: the blackface during Hannibal in the show was taken out around 2017
@warpweight: it's pronounced "Ewwww" and then you have to do a silent gag. but only if you're talking about him in this role
@emotionalmotionsicknessxx: she uwe on my kroger
@les__gnossiennes: imagine a whole corporate retreat being held hostage by this man
@whatyouwill: iirc uwe also suffers from the too tight german pants as well @haunted-hideaway: Does he suffer? Or does he enjoy every moment.
@warpweight: the seamstress always makes me think of iconic fanfiction Positions where she's like "what the fuck are you doing to your stockings ms daae" and she's like Ummm nothing. I forget. I have to go
@DanyGiryy: Die spores hahahaah
@warpweight: he sounds like he is rolling a small toy around in his mouth @funeral_lilies: he sounds like an evil magistrate @Ravens_Reproach: composer hand
@GlassPrism: Now imagine that voice coming out of Gerard Butler's face because Uwe did the German dub for the 2004 movie @GlassPrism: Supposedly the 2004 film is why Uwe took the role of the Phantom. He had been asked a lot but always turned it down [lost the rest of message, but he was inspired by Gerard Butler's take on the role]
@Luukfy: damn he sounds so seductive @Zhenyus: Woah so much pervert mist
@haunted-hideaway: The mist is London pea soup circa 1895
@turteltee: SANG MEINE ENGEL SANG
@faceofbiest: Uwe confounds me cuz he's 5'10 but anytime he's standfing with other men for concerts he's the shortest of the bunch but yeah he's giving short king @haunted-hideaway: The Tom Cruise vibe: short, haunted, a little crazy @opera-ghost: is that why he's crazy bc he has like a level of insanity that's disproportionate to his body size
@after-perfect: Did he just spook himself?
@paper_faces: his heavy ass 40s tv make up is sending me @kyannite: they just let him wreak havoc in sephora
@Samwise88: the dude's a living Egon Schiele painting
@warpweight: he's always kind of also giving a little bit of like... looking at the camera and saying "oop! did i do that!" like stop being coy. pop your circle lens out it's not cute in casual wear @wheel-of-fish: warp he fully breaks the fourth wall in final lair
@paper_faces: i love this christine so far. her entire vibe. very expressive. shes clearly entranced from him and was before he even sung in the dressing room
@opera-ghost: i think my ventriloquist dummy is possessed
@GlassPrism: So I think Uwe interpreted Gerik as wanting sex all the time, hence why he reaches for Christine's leg here
@wismoth: I have seen a good crawl in weeks this man better be good about it
@haunted-hideaway: Are we sure he can crawl @Ravens_Reproach: that was a scoot at best @wismoth: UWE YOURE A CREEPY MAN YOU COULD AT LEAST CREEPY CRAWL.
@lonlonranching: you twist him too much and he literally comes to life
@-Aldebaran-: Modern poto au Five Nights at Erik's
@warpweight: uwe is a haunted doll on facebook marketplace that the seller claims has taken real lives. thiago is a value village barbie still in the box. never opened or played with and yet also completely devoid of value
@turteltee: oh fun fact: it's realy hard to native english speakers to differentiate between U and Ü. So I have been practice with Uwe's name and Scwhul (Gay) and Schwül (Humid) @faceofbiest: also fun fact "Kroger" means "tavern-owner/inn-keeper"
@Luukfy: he sounds so particularly threatening in this one, especially when he is more soft spoken
[the shadow behind the \o/ballet\o/] @GlassPrism: Keep in mind that's usually a dancer, not the actual actor @GlassPrism: Yeah the actor is up high somewhere or getting ready to be put in the Angel
@paper_faces: carlotta i feel like a lot of this production has been low energy and i keep wondering if its cuz its a different language but 1. ive seen german boots before and 2. idk idk @GlassPrism: They probably looked out and saw half the audience was the Uwe fanclub paper_faces: LMFAO omfg... thats not funny bc its probably true @GlassPrism: Honestly yeah bc I remember Operafantomet saying that the theater was pretty empty when Uwe was on but the minute an understudy/replacement was announced, it was PACKED
@-Aldebaran-: His hair looks like one of those very ancient cloth towel dispensers in equally ancient reststops, where the towel is just an infinite loop that keeps recycling
@paper_faces: oh shit rare grape spotted this is awesome @faceofbeast: he is more grape than man lilles @ChristineSoCal: fruit of the loom guy @paper_faces: @lillies the giant blue guy up front. hes bacchus the (roman?) god of wine i think
@carlottadefender: is this star princess really pale or just washed out by the light [photo courtesy Celina:]
@opera-ghost: me on my clown jet:
@opera-ghost look at my pilot dog im gonna die
@64feet: yeah i dont know what was up with the german wishing dresses but theyre all super flat behind @-Aldebaran-: It bustled away
@turteltee: ES IST VERRUCKT @turtletee: same
@Ravens_Reproach: This Christine is ready to bolt. It's 4:50 and she has reservations at the crypt at 5.
Stream film recs include: Repo! the genetic opera; The passionate friends (1949)
@maroogaly: It's illegal to be that beautiful @-Aldebaran-: Her face is so classic...classical somehow @dimmedghosts2: she does not know what an iphone is @opera-ghost: she's a weeping angel
[the filmer breathing sounds] @-Aldebaran-: Someone is wheezing from floating face down across the ocean [a forever relevant @muirin007 childhood fic reference]
@Firedragon20: angel of farter @TheEggSaysTune: neither @turteltee: it's pretty much the same as English. Hey are you my daddy? nah wait. no. you're just the guy in my mirror.
@paper_faces: this phantom makes me unironically uncomfortable so i guess hes doing his job?
@paper_faces: pingi sounds different! @opera-ghost: he has a cold @-Aldebaran-: A cold what
@maroogaly: She's like every beautiful woman I've ever met lusting over a mid virgin nerd
Ravens_Reproach: I love that he makes Christine dom in his self insert fanfic
@maroogaly: We are ovulating in this Chilis tonight
@maroogaly: Too many cycles have synchronized we can't have bad phantoms when we're ovulating it turns us into terrible humans
oh! how he yanks her by the hand when she feels his mask through the hood for the first time!
@lit-ari-ture: Wait.....so do I actually dislike Uwe? lol
@paper_faces: i was so into it until he yelled slightly BEFORE she grabbed the mask/wig I CANT @-Aldebaran-: Premature unmasking is not uncommon in Phantoms of this age
a lot of people commenting after PONR on how Uwe is not as bad as they remembered him to be
@Firedragon20: HE LOOKED AT US DIRECTLY
@beyond-this-illusion: Do the Germans believe in soaking their Raoul???
@marumotto: He really said "German Jim Halpert" and looked at the campera
@haunted-hideaway: I like it when Raoul struggles and it's not even some kind of kink thing. I just like seeing him getting strangled. @paper_faces: haunted no need to explain to us of all people
@Ravens_Reproach: What he lacks in height he makes up for in rudeness
@Firedragon20: the shorter you are the more freakier you get I know from experience
@turteltee: get on the floor you little freak
@Luukfy: backing away scared of her!!! yess, get him christine!
@lit-ari-ture: It's giving Rumpelstiltskin?
@kyannite: this christine is the meme where the guy is pinned up against the fence [also an amazing phanart by @platycerium-bifurcatum, thank you @lizzie-boredom for finding it!] [Upd. there's one more by @polariie!]
@Forestscribe4: looks like she dug him out of the garden. i hug my potatoes too
@turteltee: here's the question. Is Uwe's phantom able to do Beneath the Moonless Sky?
@dimmedghosts2: he is a cockroach that refuses to die
@after-perfect: I don't necessarily agree with all his choices, but I can see what he was going for with a guy who never really learned how to human
@Luukfy: i thought he was really good! not my headcanon interpretation, but i loved this as a take on the role
@opera-ghost: i thought he was perfect and i agree with every choice he made. in fact he should have made more choices. i believe in uwe kroger's right to choose
