Soul Music Screening
Bugsy
Just like to say that I really enjoyed the screening at the NFT this morning.
Now if _ONLY_ I was going to still be in the country when they finally
screen all the episodes of both Soul Music and Wyrd Sisters when they are
screen on channel 4. If nothing else, I finally got to get a book signed
(I've missed all of Terry's visits to Australia, so was glad of the
oportunity to see him here). Thanks to the bofhs here who let it be
known that this event was on the morning after the asr meet, and hi to
the others I met...it was nice to put faces to some of the names I've
become familiar with through long time lurking around here....(eeep I've
posted now, does this mean I can no longer lurk in silence?)
Anyway, that's me for now....I may post again one day

Speaking of which, I trust there's already a network of enterprising
AFPers in the U.K. willing to trade tapes of this -- whenever it occurs --
from off Channel 4, in exchange for cool stuff found in Merka?
Oh, come on. We must have *something* you want. Er, gangsta rap? Pez?

P.S. I do realize, British tapes don't work in American VCRs...there are,
as always, people who'll fix that...

I wasn't too worried as I like most of CosgroveHall's stuff. As long as
you're not a 'but on line 3 of page 78 of the first paperback edition it
said it was blue' type you should really enjoy it. I didn't notice any
problems, but I haven't read it recently. I thought the opening
sequence was fab.
Oops, delurked!
Hi all.

With all these things, it's a question of profit and loss. You start
out knowing that stuff is going to get lost in the translation -- what
you have to hope is that the new medium is going to add 'replacement'
things. There's a lot I like about this version of SM -- all of the
voices, for example (especially those of Susan, Death and Ridcully, who
has exactly the right loud exasperated tone) and most of the
realisations of the characters. Maybe I've just had too many dealing
with screen people to get too excited when minor things aren't according
to the book -- as I said at the NFT, all you can hope to establish is
that the makers' hearts are in the right place; trying to look over
their shoulders all the time isn't going to result in a good production.

Apologies to the two Elaines for getting them confused, but as I didn't
get this Elaines surname it will be understood ( Won't it? Please? ).
BTW nearly every other female I meet these days semms to be called
Elaine.
My greeting to the other Elaine still stands, but of course I'm not the
person who was sat on your left.

Just be glad nobody says something like the following:
'...Roland Jaffe's "The Scarlet Letter" was indeed "freely adapted"
from Hawthorne's book - "in the same way that methane is freely
adapted from cows"' (from a "New Yorker" review of the movie)
Wish I could have seen the SM screening, but I'm continentally challenged.
Not to mention finacially challenged as well. (sigh)

See Elaine, you finally decide to delurk, and look what happens.
Confusion all round. How do you do it? :) Now there are lots of
MisElaineous Elaines floating around. What will we do?
(BTW Say hello to Victoria)

Victoria is a red head, about 20cm tall (not counting her brush),
slightly grey about the muzzle.
She says hello to everyone here, but I'll have to be message relay as
she can't manage the keybord with her paws.

Ah, not me then. That had me slightly worried, for a moment.

Toooooooo the honeysuckle's parents
It came as a shock,
"The bindweeds," they said "are inferior stock,
They're uncultivated, of breeding bereft,
We twine to the right and they twine to the left".
Classic, absolutely classic.

Ah, an easy one since Misalliance is named after this song by Flanders and Swann
(At the drop of a hat - 1960 Parlophone PCS 3001; recorded during a performance
at the Fortune Theatre, London on 2nd May, 1959).
The words are at home though and all I can think of are the lines that go:
"Oh, let us start saving, Many a mickle makes a muckle" and
"Left, right, what a disgrace, or they may grow straight up
and fall flat on their face".
The ending is so sad that it always makes me snivel quietly......
MisElaineous of Misalliance.

If this qualifies for a ppoint on *this* ng I'll be very very
surprised...
Said the right handed honeysuckle to the left handed bindweed,
"Oh, let us get married, if our parents don't mind -- we'd
Be loving and inseperable, inextricably entwined -- we'd
Live happily ever after" said the honeysuckle to the bindweed.
or perhaps you wanted the bit that went;
Said the left handed bindweed to the right handed honeysuckle,
"We'd better start saving -- many a mickle mak's a muckle.
We'll run away for a honeymoon and hope that our luck'll
Take a change for the better" said the bindweed to the honeysuckle.
Anyway, it's "Misalliance" by Flanders and Swann.
Prepare for a cascade of replies, since I think almost every afper
knows this song -- this thread will inevitably repeat itself in time.
Current periodicity is about 3 months (unless it repeated while I was
away over Christmas...)
Love, Peter
"Right, Left, what a disgrace!
Or it may go straight up and fall flat on its face..."
PS Just for a bit of controversy here, I'm going to stick my neck out

This is why I didn't ask for one in the first place. (The principle
reason I have the CDs is AFP.)
I dunno, people offering ppoints on my behalf...
(Rooted on either side of the door, one of each species grew, and
raced towards the widow ledge above: each corkscrewed to the lintel in
the only way it knew, where they stopped, touched tendrils, smiled,
and fell in love. Ahh.)

I think I'm suffering from a Lehrer deficiency.

Bad hair *day*? I have a bad hair *life*. Or I did until Wednesday when
in the interests of theatrical verisimilitude (I'm playing Mephisto in a
university production next week) I had most my flowing curls chopped off and
dyed black.
Suddenly I realise what hair brushes are for, they can actually transform
a tangled mass (or rather a tangled couple of inches now) into a
respectable, well-kempt head of hair. but it has been rather a wrench to
my self-image, and a friend's daughter said, on seeing me for the first
time, "You've got a new head".

I'm waiting to see what happens if she meets Mr Fox. Is she on the
look out for a toy boy?
