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.

Yeah. The Reverend Mother has a much bigger part of the first few scenes of the musical than the movie.
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.
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.
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.
I realize that it's not fair to judge this for not being the movie, but I don't care. This song isn't the same without them traipsing through Salzburg.
