Posted: 8/18/06 at 3:06pmLunch at three o' clock? God you guys are lazy!
The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.

Posted: 8/18/06 at 3:09pmHello all - Just returned from seeing Little Miss Sunshine. I laughed so hard I cried! Great movie...see it if you get a chance. Great acting and really funny. I want to see it again.

Hi, addict I actually do want to see that - is there any reason not to wait for it on DVD? I abhor the movie-going experience these days (the audience drives me nuts!) so I wait to see it at home unless I think it will seriously diminish the experience.

Posted: 8/18/06 at 3:16pmDG - Probably it wouldn't matter. There were not many people in the theater this afternoon but it was fun hearing all the laughter! The only thing is I'm not sure you want to wait that long to laugh sooo much. Your choice though.

Posted: 8/18/06 at 3:26pmBoobs - I heard that also but you know I don't think that I would call it dark but it is definitely a disfunctional family but whose isn't. It is also very hearwarming!

Posted: 8/18/06 at 3:44pmI saw it for the first time on the 16th of February this year. Saw Travis Yates. Loved it so much, I was back on the 28th to see it again! I saw Liam Mower that time. I had booked the second tickets within 48 hours of seeing it the first time! I love it, you guys are in for a treat. Where are you sitting?

Posted: 8/18/06 at 3:45pmBoobs, glad you're enjoying the 'Billy Elliot' recording. I'm interested to hear what you think to the stage show, GfG. I really didn't like it but I know I'm in the minority. Try to see 'Sunday In The Park' while you're there. Stunning production.

Lots of reasons, really, vm. Here's a link to a post I made recently on the West End Board. Like I've said so many times, vm, I know this show is extremely popular so I know my comments are in the minority.

Hehe...should have added that as well as obviously having no taste as far as stage musicals are concerned, I've also got an appalling memory...

Absolutely. I thought Liam was a wonderful dancer. The older/younger Billy moment was just gorgeous (my favourite moment in the show, actually).
