Curiosity Kills

This was written for the Featuring Luciana challenge. The challenge: Write a oneshot story describing Luciana's thoughs on Erik, shortly before her death.

“I want you to take off the mask. Please take off the mask.”

    I am standing in front of Erik, begging him to remove the mask that hides his face from me. I want to know his face, to see him.

    “You must excuse me, mademoiselle. I have work to finish.”

    The nerve of him! “I will not excuse you! You don’t have work to finish! I want you to take off...

Carlotta is writen as a horrid character. She tells rumors and plans schemes to eliminate christine as her competition. I think what is often overlooked is that Carlotta is one of the so many victims of the book. From what is written you can tell that Carlotta was extremely talented as an opera singer as the book mentions how perfect an instrument her voice was. She had the misfortune to be ill and be replaced sa pamamagitan ng someone far madami loved and adored than herself, that in itself is enough to make anyone mad, take a araw of sick and your job isnt waiting for you when you get back.

It is no secret that I'm not fond of pag-ibig Never Dies. I don't like the idea of ALW making a sequel to a ipakita that had no need of one, I don't like the fact that although a good portion of the music (while fairly pretty) has been recycled or pinched from other sources while Wee Andy brags about how it's the best thing he's ever done and it's SO original, and I especially am appalled sa pamamagitan ng what has been done to the characters.

And a while back I started noticing really heavy similarities between the two things and I found many of them interesting. I thought I would share these observations here, so that others might enjoy the coincidences, or homages if you'd care to take it that way.

I have compiled a listahan of all the phantom films ever made for phans who have only seen the 2004 version. Or at least the major ones. Philm titles from Wikipedia, but all the info I wrote, and have gathered from research and listening to the Phantom Reviewer. I'll put the iugnay (so its similar to the a/v club. Though you can find them all online, so I'm not really giving you anything hard to find). I just like to make it easier for people, since some seem so lazy to go look for it themselves, or only seem to see Gerard Butler as the ONLY Phantom. I've seen every version on this list, save for...
