German expressionism movies were very dark. I remember seeing the Peter Lorre movie "M" where he plays a murderer and someone has seen him kill and with a piece of chalk writes the letter M on his coat's shoulder. What a riveting movie! I believe that was Peter Lorre's first starring role in the movies in Germany where he was seen by a movie exec who brought him to America.
I've watched snl since it started and this season has way too many players, IMO. It's hard enough for a cast of 7 or 12 even, to get any air time. It just feels like no one is really getting much air time except for Pete Davidson and I'm really not seeing his appeal on the show. I think the writing and sketches are very poor, no laughs, little interesting content. To be real, I must admit that this is the first time I have ever felt they should just cancel the show. That's how disappointing the show is to me.
I would love to sleep with cheetahs. Omg! It would definitely be ticked off my bucket list, for sure. Just to be able to touch them, cuddle them, feel and hear them purr. wow! Just...wow!
I shall miss Betty. We need more upbeat and inspiring people in our world. I'm doing my best even though life is sure throwing some challenges my way. As long as you don't try giving me cabbage themed foods I shall be very good natured.
In jr high I was taking a theatre class. The room was pie shaped with seats in the upper portion descending down to the lowest part of the room which was the point with a very small stage area large enough for a high bar stool and a piano. My teacher is perched on the stool. Students were clustered pretty close to the teacher except for one guy way in the back all alone. My teacher is talking, paused to take a breath and in the silence we hear a very loud sneeze. No one thinks anything about it until the guy in the back says "Nobody turn around." Which, of course, we all did in unison. The guy had his hand up to his nose and there, in full technicolor, was a huge sheet of snot covering his entire hand. He then took his hand and tried to fling the mucus away which landed on the chairs and the floor around him. Our teacher laughed so hard he fell off his chair and nobody sat in the back of the room for the rest of the semester.
A gravy urinal? I would have tossed the contents at whoever served it to me. And these giant plates with wisps of food on them or the food spread out on a table cloth forcing people to grub around for the food is just plain demeaning and insulting. No, I don't go to restaurants that are 'playful' and experimental. Serve me my food on a dish, dammit!
