Profile for inception

Here is how I would rate what I saw in November 

1)Chess

2)Ragtime

3)Maybe Happy Ending

4)Just in Time

5)Two Strangers

6)Operation Mincemeat

But I would see Operation Mincemeat again because it all goes by so quickly in thick British accents that so much gets missed the first time

 

 

Mr. Warren reshared this on his insta this week & I thought I'd pass it on.  We need some good vibes.

Bear's comments about the release schedule are interesting. Here it played last weekend with one showing a night at 7pm at a couple cinemas. It's not anywhere this weekend, but has an afternoon showing at one Vancouver cinema next Wednesday.  They went to the trouble of filming this,  but didn't really seem to want to give it a wide release.

When I first read the headline I wondered if it was about the sandwhich.  When I went to college the school cafeteria did a mean Monte Cristo as the special once a week. Soooo good!

Glad you could use the ticket!

I guess we could thank "someone else" for bringing it to my attention that I could past date a ticket & pass it on...but Nah.

Here's a photo of her from PBS's American Experience site:

If they could get it down to a few 22 minute episodes I might give it a chance.

Actually I thought Shaina Taubseemed a little too youngwhen I saw this last month. Her face looked pale and pretty, and she had a sweet, hi-pitched voice. Other Emmas I've seen look more weather-beaten and have a more gravelly voice.
 

I think that sort of casting might have been influenced by Warren Beatty casting Maureen Stapleton as Goldman in his film Reds.

Are there really so many instances? I'm tryinfg to think of 

Side Show immediately comes to mind for me.

Parade wasn't a financial success in its first outing.

But those are both shows that received critical acclaim   yet failed financially.  Twice on the part of Side Show.

Their future sales must be terrible to not even stay open for one of the busiest weeks of the year.

David Byrne announced US concert dates through to May 17, 2026, but nothing yet for New York.  A summer residency perhaps?

Only those with vast fortunes to squander would finance a Broadway transfer of this.

Recording and licensing would be more sensible.

Where did Once play when it toured?  Concerts by single artists play enormous venues including arenas and no one complains about them being  lost or swallowed up by the venues.  This will play just fine.

I got scared every time I saw the photos with heels she wears climbing stairs.

You must be fun at parties.

Here's a plot for the writers of Elsbeth, free of charge:

A super annoying British YouTube vlogger is found dead in Shubert Alley with multiple wounds just after the parade had passed them by on Thanksgiving.  It's fiction, & absolutely in this reality the parade goes right by Shubert Alley. But there seem to be no witnessses.  In a stunning denouement,  Elsbeth reveals

Nah.  I saw both Criss & Groff a week and a half ago and I'd still give it to Criss.  He is actually acting.  Groff runs around a lot and can sing, but at no time did I believe he was Bobby Darrin.
