Curious I am listening to a sample of the audio book GOOD OMENS. It is well done. Even so, I prefer to read.

Which audio version, Jane? The single narrator version, or the full-cast dramatisation?

Jane · « **Reply #92 on:** July 13, 2019, 04:09:54 PM »

I didn't know there was a full-cast option. I didn't get past the narration in the full-cast version & can't compare the full results. With just a short sampling I think I preferred the single narrator. He does change is voice a bit, at least the small portion I heard between the two main characters.

Interesting in the series I thought Frances McDormand was the narrator when she is listed in the cast as God. I found her narration great fun.

Well, I'm off. My friend Margo and I are going to see a Shakespeare play performed outside. I don't remember which play is playing this weekend. There are two different plays playing, and a third is going up next month. I just hope that we're not facing the sun. $:-\$

We're also going to Mercato's for dinner before the show, so it'll be an evening.

Until later!

Jrand, every time I think of those “Director Notes,” I get angry all over again. That guy is a real asshole, and I wish I could tell him so to his face!

I am not at the gala tonight. My neck is so bad tonight that I can’t turn me head to either side. Not a good idea to be driving the freeway, if you can’t look over your shoulder to change lanes or to enter the freeway.

So, I took some pain pills early, and I may watch MARY POPPINS STRIKES AGAIN, or whatever it is called.

I watched BRITANNIC on Netflix yesterday. I had never seen it before. It was rather silly (and strayed far from the truth), but was entertaining.

Has there ever been a ship disaster film that didn’t include, at least, one of the main characters trapped below deck?

TCB · « **Reply #100 on:** July 13, 2019, 06:34:07 PM »

Damn, there are a lot of horror films, available for streaming, that I have never heard of before. You would think I could have landed some kind of role in one of those films!

God! Mike Pence is such a disgusting semi-human being. He is (almost) worse than his boss.

And then DR Jrand had to take the photo with him.

I am so sorry. I know about necks that can't turn. I hope you can find something to help your neck without having surgery.

I stand by my opinion that he is worse. He just looks good.

Finished watching 55 Days at Peking - save for some overwriting and preachy stuff in the script, it's really excellent.

Now I'm listening to music, then I may watch something later.

Watching an old little film called The Story of a Cheat from Sasha Guitry. It's a rather dark comedy from 1936 that begins with a boy foraging mushrooms, which are served to the family. He's being punished, so he doesn't get any. Suddenly the other 11 members of his family are dead.

This ain't Dickens.

It was fairly warm in the dance hall tonight, but at 10 p.m. it was hotter outside. It's still above 90.

Listening to the symphonies of someone named Bohuslav Martinu (there's a circle over the last "u," but I can't get that). They were written before and after WWII. They're really wonderful. Six symphonies in all. This set, recorded 10 years ago on the 50th anniversary of his death, just came in to the library.

Hello, 1 guest!

I like Martinu and share a birthday with him as I do with Jean Sibelius.
