Help, help! I'm being repressed!
I blow my nose at you! I fart in your general direction!
What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

If we didn't have crucifixion, this country would be in a
right bloody mess.

This parrot is no more. It has ceased to be. It's expired and gone to meet its maker. This is a late parrot. It's a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. If you hadn't nailed it to the perch, it would be pushing up the daisies. It's rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-parrot.

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

MMMMMMMMMMMMM

DP Colin and I went to a preview of "Dreamgirls" tonight. The audience was certainly a cross section of Melbourne population. Two people applauded at one stage. Many people laughed.

Nice costumes and the girls sang well.

I guess it worked on stage but it certainly did not work on film. It has the emotional impact of a Frank Wilderhorn musical. "False" emotional high all over the place and no opportunity to feel for the characters.

The "performance" songs are fine. The character songs just do not work I think it's about 35 minutes into the film before "Family" and by then it's way too late to get these characters to sing their feelings. There is no emotional heart to the film and there are no surprises. "RENT" did not work that well as a film either but - shock - I thought there was more "heart" in it!

The after film "buzz" and conversations were very negative. I doubt the show will have much of a life here.

For Effie's big number - stifled laughter from the audience, The lead up to the song is so long and any chance of emotional impact is lost. Did the song make the audience feel for the character? No.

It's not that I loathe the song, it's just that each time I saw Jennifer Holliday sing it on a TV show it seem to be more and more of a parady of an emotional outburst.

This was a film as subtle as last year's "Crash".

I wanted to like it. I suspect the critics here will slam it.

I'll have to make this a quick vist. I was trying to catch up on all of the posts I missed and by the time I do, we're almost to my stop downtown.

I must say that I had a lovely phone call from Vixmom on Friday night and we had a very nice chat.

I might have a suprise for our Dear BK. I'll try to have it ready for tonight but no promises.

Have a GREAT day all!

Laters!

I also liked OPERATION CROSSBOW because I didn't know anything about the subject. Loren and Courtney were sorely missed by their early departures (belied by their billing).

LAGAAN is one of my favorite Bollywood movies.

DR MS - lovely lovely.

One of my favorite tracks ever...and lovely visuals.

"Disneyland" is one of the songs that people enjoy seeing in sign language because it is so visual...and the story is so familiar to a LOT of us! Thanks so much!

She certainly looks as though she could burn down a plantation.

How do you feel?
Like I just swam the English Channel.
My dear, I think your next move should be toward television.
Do they have auditions for television?
That's all television is, my dear, nothing BUT auditions.

Good morning, all! It's raining outside and I hate rainy weather. I'm trying to remember what my plans for the day are. I had another restless night of awful dreams: one involving missing persons in Mexico, and one involving the Institute, only it was run by Donald Trump. Oy! It's gotta be the chopped liver from Artie's.

"What do you think I invited you here for? Company?"

Chopped liver, indeed.

I dreamed the high winds last night blew away my carport, my fence, my doghouse and my dog.

Monday morning greetings! Today's my day off and the day we take down the Christmas tree. First, I have to go out to do some errands, including grocery shopping for a pot roast to cook for dinner.

Good morning!

Beautiful morning outside, and after the deluge yesterday, we could use it. Actually, we're not supposed to have more rain until Friday, so hopefully we'll have time to dry out.
