seriously? i have no idea how i feel about this. it looks like plunkett and macleane meets tintin. or something. maybe.
Kathryn, do NOT be jealous of me going to the opera. It was weird. They were wearing these bulky animal costumes and clonking boots which might have been okay except that their footsteps drowned out the sound of the orchestra (Oh look! A band!). The plot was supposed to be about the circle of life or something deep, but it really seemed to be more about animals getting it on. It was an opera, though, so plot really shouldn't matter as long as the music is good. It wasn't. I mean, it wasn't BAD - but most of the singing was monotonous, the orchestration was unremarkable, and I hope to heaven no one from the production reads this. It would be so disheartening! They were all skillful - I just wasn't interested in the piece itself. But then, I have only ever seen very classical sorts of pieces. The Marriage of Figaro. Samson and Delilah. And I was listening to Puccini before leaving the house! What do you do? But then again, I was distracted by my seating companion. Five so
looks good except for robert downey jr. cuz all I see is him and not holms.
ReplyDeletei know. it really baffles me how someone could have had 'sherlock holmes' and 'robert downey jr' together in their head long enough to actually make this bizarre casting choice. and that a director let it happen. without laughing hysterically or rolling their eyes or saying 'are you serious? no, come on. we really have to make a serious decision here...'
ReplyDeleteI wish it was tin tin. I loved that show.
