Well, you must have been a victim of one of those "other reasons" I mentioned why productions can work. Wasn't it clever of me to have left it open like that?
Actually, since you saw only half and expressed reservations about seeing the whole thing, and you used the word distasteful a couple of times in describing it, your approval seemed less than whole-hearted, as was gao's. YOu both were a little surprised to have liked it at all which is neat and very neat that you allowed yourself to-- really, I was impressed.
And I have a feeling that I would have responded the same way. Liked some, been put off by some...
I do think we experience things differently when we are in groups of peers, and that X had an excellent point about going with friends in a sort of bonding thing, knowing everyone had given birth, or gone through some of the emotions if not the actual experiences.
DId you ever have the experience of watching a movie with your young son, one you had seen before and remembered as being perfectly fine, and then with him, you suddenly notice they use the F word every ten seconds, and there is SEX in it, and good lord, this is a terrible movie, what were you thinking. I tend to watch things with completely different agenda depending on many factors.
Kind of like a big belch in the locker room is a riot, but at a formal dinner party, it is definitely inappropriate. Sometimes things just depend on circumstances. :)
Wandering afield here, and must go do some work. Inlaws arriving in the morning. |
