Aug. 20th, 2010 11:00 pmAfter three days of staring at the Metropolitan Opera website and “the Magic Flute” dates, I finally broke down and bought tickets. I’ve seen the Julie Taymor production on TV a few years ago, but I always like live opera and I wanted to see this one for a long time. It is a version aimed at children, so it is condensed and in English. I bought two tickets, although I don’t know who will go with me yet.
Highlander “Timeless” “Blitz” Methos falling in love and acting all shy was adorable. Claudia was way too bratty for me to care much about her. Duncan in a dress was hysterical. As for the second episode, Anne is an idiot. I know she is a doctor and wants to help but no one in the right mind would go into a dangerous situation seven month pregnant. That Duncan renovating a house story was a very long thread this whole season, which is really great continuity.
“Capitalism: A Love Story” I started it a few days ago and finished it today. The link between the treasure department and Wall street just makes me angry.
“End of the Affair” I rewatched the movie tonight. I knew I loved this movie and found it sentual but I forgot just how much I loved it. I just love the music and the sexiness of the movie in general. I forgot about the last half hour where the husband asks Maurice to live with them and then the men comfort each other and form this weird household. The story is also about God and faith. I can’t find my book copy of this, I’ve looked this evening. (I bought a copy in London five years ago, when I remembered the movie but couldn’t watch it, and I wanted to read it. It is one of the best books I’ve read. And the book is probably in my boxes of book that I’m storing at my grandparent’s house. I really wish I had the book in front of me to reread some of the prose. It was not my first Graham Greene novel, but it is certainly my favorite.)
