Ah. Maybe I'll just stick to my appliances.

I thought so.

It was with subtitles though...

English ones?

Yes.

 

[glynndah]

Yes.

I've never watched more than a snippet or two of a Bollywood movie. Well, a couple of big song and dance numbers, too. The pictures for this one look very colorful and happy. Not very descriptive, I know, but I was trying to think of a better word than "nice".

To be honest, Bollywood movies are not everyone's cup of tea. This one is a light, breezy, feel-good rom-com, if you're into such stuff.

Light, breezy and feels good - it must be dampy!

Hullo, dahlink!

I'm not going to name names, because I am a nice girl, but man ... you and you and pretty much you, too ... I can't even bear to read your posts because they are so full of pompous, juvenile, passive aggressive, self-aggrandizing bullshit! It's the same thing, over and over and over. And with little that I can see to justify any of it.

The insecurity, really, must be crippling. Good luck with that.

LOL, welcome to the wonderful world of web pomposity! Salt, dahlink. Pinch of. Does so much for a nice soup too.

The Kenneth Branagh version? I remember seeing that for Theater 101 back in college.

No. The current production at Shakespeare's Globe - real theatre.

I like seeing Shakespeare. I like Opera. I like Ballet. They may be minority interests but I can enjoy (some) modern pop as well.

But now I can see live performances by link at my local multiscreen for a fraction of the price and in more comfort than the Royal Opera House or the National Theatre.

I worry that younger people aren't developing the appreciation of Shakespeare until I see the queues for the modern movie versions. But Opera? Ballet? Despite their increased availability via the net and live transmissions those are still playing to very restricted audiences, usually with grey hair.

I went to my first live Shakespeare performance when I was 11 years old. My wife went to hers when she was 9. How much we understood? I'm not sure. But by the time we were in our teens we loved Shakespeare. At 19 I was performing as an extra non-speaking soldier in an amateur performance and stage hand, spear-carrier, whatever.

Ballet? Her first was when she was 6. Mine? Age 12. I even went to ballet in Boy Scout uniform with my Scout troop. Before the performance we met the cast and were seriously impressed by the muscular development of the dancers, male AND female.

Opera? Her first at age 21. Mine? 10 or 5 if I count Gilbert and Sullivan in which my parents were performing. I performed in Gilbert and Sullivan at age 12, as a Boy Treble. I was understudy for one of the Three Little Maids in the Mikado. I, and the director, were praying hard that the principal wouldn't be ill. Not only was my Treble beginning to break, but I was much taller than the rest of the cast. It would have been two Little Maids and a Giantess!

But how many current children are that enthused by Shakespeare, Opera and Ballet?

My snotty nosed Piglet is frequently hauled along to classical music concerts and plays, mainly under the influence of the Swiss Army wife, who has links to all the good shows which permit noisy horrid piglets to oink softly in them and is so organised she gets tickets before they are sold out. And the Main MILF, y'know, the one who got a tax rebate on her boob job, texted me the other day to sort out a play date from Madam Butterfly. But we are BoBos! (Bourgeois Bohemians.)

I'm really in here blurting because I had so much fun freely associating about desert stuff (no I don't mean puddings) with Ogg that I burnt my coffee!

Ogg

Ah nice. Ever seen The Compleat Wrks of Wllm Shkspr (Abridged) performed? First time I saw it, I was laughing so hard tears were in my eyes. I'll have to look and see if any of the local theatres are doing it again.

I think I've seen one ballet (live), managed to miss just about every Opera going and only seen the odd film thing of Shakespeare.
But I do have a copy of the Compleat Angler. . . .

Somewhere I have this book. I love it! Grandfather recommends only the hair of Circassian slave girls for line, and there are charming drawings of him pursuing some such nubile wenches ... in order to get good fishing line.

I can't get my phone to connect to the Wi-Fi.

 

[slyc_willie]

I still think that was totally cool.

I know! And usually I can let it just roll off me like water off a duck's back but ... yesterday it was really irritating me. All the pompousness was making me feel stabby.

I know. It gets to all of us.

Oh, wait. Sometimes, I'm pompous, too.

Nevermind.

You wouldn't mind if I got away with a little pompousness though, right?

Oh, my darlings Slyc and John, you know I'm not talking about you.


And I bet you could guess who I am talking about in 3 tries or fewer.

Oh, I've had my moments, as I'm sure a handful or two would attest. I may even still be on a few peoples' ignore lists.

And, I probably could guess who you were referring to, but let's not go there.

*gasp* I can't believe anyone would want to ignore you!

Yes, I'm sure you can guess, but let's not go there, like I said, I'm a nice girl.

Me too. My wife kicks my leg when I'm overdoing it in real life. But she doesn't watch my net postings.

Perhaps she should.

Gasp, that gorgeous leg! I can't believe anyone would kick it.

Oh well, I may have wimped out going to the pub (where there was nearly a lunchtime fight last time we went) to watch the Lions match but at least they're winning. Significantly!

Can't believe there are so few places to watch it when half the team is Welsh and the Welsh lent them their coach. Er, um, I mean, how great that so few venues in this area support the Murdoch empire and refuse to have the evil Sky.
