Well it is too bad Saurbrey experienced the problems she did. Perhaps I misinterpreted her "focusing on winnable issues" as waffling. Even so, her having to do this does not exactly present Maryland as balanced precariously on a conservative precipice, though perhaps it is close to becoming somewhat GOP controlled. The GOP seem increasingly lackluster where gun rights are concerned. So this provides little comfort. Very good comments on "Shine." I must say I did not see the film as you did, though I thought it laughable at times in how it treated Rachmaninoff's 3rd. It left one with the impression that the music itself was dangerous, capable of destroying one's "psyche." It is a difficult piece to be sure. But one does not have to be a madman to play it, just a bit of a savage. Noah Taylor played the young Helfgott, and did an admirable job of it. The scene where Helfgott (played by Rush) springs joyously on the trampoline in the nude is accompanied by the Vivaldi tune I mentioned to you about a month ago, "Nulla in Mundo Pax Sincera..." I think it ironic that this tune was used for such a tortured soul, and wonder if the director meant anything by it. (running)
