I'm watching The Sound of Music live broadcast on NBC, and it seems like it's designed to maximize the amount of Audra McDonald so far. Which isn't a choice I disagree with, exactly, but maybe it's a sign you shouldn't have cast Carrie Underwood?
Marco: Do we look reasonable to you? Mal: Well. Looks can be deceiving. Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Is it really sad when a 95 year old man dies?
It's sad for the world to longer have Nelson Mandela alive in it. So, yeah. Really sad.
I do not understand this "using less oil" as a good thing for popcorn. One of the perqs of working in a movie theater was being able to make ourselves batches of popcorn with double oil. So good.
Thanks for the Zombies Run rec and explanation, Consuela, that sounds worth checking out. Interval training, I am not good at it.

Actually, I guess they're adhering to the stage musical, which I've never seen, rather than the movie.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Yeah. The Reverend Mother has a much bigger part of the first few scenes of the musical than the movie.

Because books.
I clicked past before, and Maria was singing "My Favorite Things" to the Mother Superior, which was confusing.
Live-on-TV stuff like that makes me weirdly nervous. I want to watch from the hall in case something goes horribly wrong.

I can't complain, given the Audra McDonald of it all. But I think I'm in this until Climb Ev'ry Mountain, and then bailing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't know why they had to do it live. I mean, I don't understand why they had to do it at all! But still.
The movie v. stage thing was a real bummer for me when I saw Grease on stage. Where were my favorite lines? Not in the state show, mostly.

Oh, "Climb Ev'ry Mountain"! One of my piano pieces when I was about twelve.
And I have to watch "Do Re Mi." It's one of the only songs I ever sang to the kids when they were babies.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
You can all do like I used to have to when I was a kid, and watch until the kids go to bed. Then you could miss all the political drama, which, if acting skills are in question, could be likely to be problematic.

I kind of want something to go horribly wrong. More horribly wrong.
