More content-free text. Are you in league with Solon? :-)
Actually, I can' t think of a poster who posts more content, and relevant, interesting content than Solon, now that you mention it.
Speaking of interesting, the NYT and the NYer gave a British comedy transplanted to NY,Noises Off, absolute rave reviews.
N and I walked out this evening at the intermission.
Had more fun walking back 'home' from 47th and 8th to 70th and Columbus than we would have had watching more of that third rate TV sit-com unfunniness. (It's a soft, warm night.)
We were wondering if the acting had been better might there have been a laugh or two in the first half.
The audience was not in a state of hilarity, either. I"d call it low to medium laughter.
Odd experience. As we left, the guy in the lobby, he was selling drinks or something, said, "Had enough, eh?"
N said, "Yes, it's bad. Have you seen it?"
he said, "Too many times."
I said, "It's a dumb TV sitcom. Did you laugh?"
He said, rolling his eyes and whispering, "You'll do better downtown. Try the Janice Joplin or Blue Man Group Tubes...."
I'd tell you how much the tickets cost but it would shock Steven too much. They would have paid a couple of months rent where he's going.
The Brit production must have been better done. |
