Wait, make that Tuesday…
I worked kind of late at the computer last night. Then I surfed through
the channels on television and ended up watching The Pirates of Penzance
again, the 1983 movie version with Linda Ronstadt.
This time around I noticed something that must have just passed in and
out last time without me noticing it much, the number towards the end
of the operetta known as the "Patter Trio" and which was actually
borrowed for this version of Penzance from the G&S operetta Ruddigore.
This time I caught it —
So it really doesn't matter matter matter matter matter

I laughed like crazy.
Following Penzance I surfed around trying to find another movie to watch.
There really wasn't much, and I ended up watching 1984 starring John Hurt.
It is a very bleak and depressing movie. But then, it's 1984.
After about 50 minutes or so my attention started to drift. It wandered
from 1984 back to Gilbert & Sullivan, to the Patter Trio.

I decided to pass on the rest of 1984. I switched through channels
again, and happened this time to catch the beginning of Species. Marg
Helgenberger is in it, a great redhead, and the movie is one of her best
(and sexiest) roles. I watched it for a bit. But then my thoughts started
to drift again.

Gilbert and Sullivan were right, of course. I turned off the television.
If I were not a little mad and generally silly
I should give you my advice upon the subject, willy-nilly;
I should show you in a moment how to grapple with the question,
And you'd really be astonished at the force of my suggestion.
On the subject I shall write you a most valuable letter,
Full of excellent suggestions when I feel a little better,
But at present I'm afraid I am as mad as any hatter,
So I'll keep 'em to myself, for my opinion doesn't matter!

:lol:Well, it doesn`t matter, at all 😀
My television (a two time hand-down) finally blew it's video tube a few days ago. It was kind of a shock. Like someone died! But you are right, it has been so much better without it. I can always get the news on my computer though video is horrible with DSL.
I would take that statement more seriously, Darko — except that it really doesn't matter. 😆
@ Dr. Marconi.:rip: your television, that is unfortunate. Television isn't all bad. I'm glad I have the option, as it allows me to just sit there and relax my brain more than I normally do. But I think there certainly are tons more stuff to do that watch TV.Thanks for stopping by.
My TV usually stays tuned to Turner Classic Movies, with an occasional excursion over to the History Channel or the local news broadcasts.At the present, I'm watching "The Three Faces of Eve," with Joanne Woodward and David Wayne.But it really doesn't matter.:wink::D
Bless you, my child. Go now in peace. (Hey, just joking, I hope you do find a little of that here. :D)(Sometimes.)
Are you kidding?!?Too much violence on that network.:lol::p
I only watch CNN ( I know more violence than one can handle…)one more reason to find happiness and peace in visiting posts like Edwards' 🙂
:lol:True. They just go around acting like…well, wild animals!Me, I'm much more civilized. Like a nice potted fern. :p
Star, not that it matters, but I pictured you as a hardcore Animal Planet type. :p:lol:
I always do :heart:and if the word "Loyal reader" comes in a badge,I will wear it with pride around here 🙂
I'm kinda like a potted fern myself, Edward. I just stand in the corner and observe, usually.Amazing how much one can learn doing that.:smile:
I actually had the pleasure of watching Croneneberg's A History of Violence yesterday evening. Due to obvious reasons I am a great fan of Viggo Mortensen. I saw an interview with him once, where he told that the agressive lovemaking he performs with Maria Bello in this film was the toughest stunt he ever made. And he has made some tough stunts in his carrier.How can a love scene with Maria Bello be tough?I guess that doesn't matter either.
@ Star. Plants rule! :up: :lol:@ Martin.I guess it matters to Vigo. I'll let him deal with it. 🙂
I remember that '1984'. Richard Burton's last role if I am not mistaken. Very grim. There was also a nice nude as well, I think. Funny what sticks in the brain."Pirates" is always fun.
