Singin' In The Rain
Eden Court Theatre, #Inverness.
29/3/25

Fabulous production of SITR from the amateur company, Inverness Musical Theatre. Saturday night was the final night, and it was a handful of seats short of a full-house.

The production was very faithful to the 1952 movie of the same name. Both the singing and the dancing was of a very high calibre, and one could tell the cast were enjoying the experience, too.

#QuestionOfTheDay follow up question, make up a fake group chat you absolutely would not want to be accidentally added into because of what you'd probably read/see/get tmi about.

(examples of what I mean by making up a fake group chat: "isekai busty elf group chat", "tsundere anime girl group chat", "Star Trek captains group chat", "fantasy villains group chat", "Roman emperors group chat", "famous scientists with the first name that start with D" group chat, etc, whatever you want, go nuts.

Follow-up #QuestionOfTheDay what's a work that you think is underrated/overlooked because of who made it/the series or franchise it was packaged under/the company that released it/etc?

For example, a game made by a company famous for action games that was not an action game so people tuned it out or dismissed it, or a song that's very different from the expected style of a musician, a movie released under a franchise that was a good movie but did not fit the franchise, etc

Singer is in a hurry and turns around

Sarah Brightman walks the city streets. Asphalt. Spring. She should to be in a hurry for a record. And, so, it is a city. Showcase of stores. Everything is so bright and interesting. You, walk the same street. To buy a cartridge for Nes or gamepad. And Sarah Brightman in a hurry for soundrecord

#QuestionOfTheDay what's a work that you think is underrated/overlooked because of when it came out? (for example, it came out right between 2 major releases and got overlooked, or right after or right before the much more successful thing that redefined the genre it is in, or it came out when the genre/topic/style was out of fashion or it came out before the genre/topic/style got hot, etc)

🎵 If I were a rich man
Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum
All day long, I'd biddy biddy bum
If I were a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work hard
Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum
If I were a biddy biddy rich yidle-diddle-didle-didle man 🎵

I dunno, I had been thinking about Fiddler on the Roof lately. So, I decided to do my best Tevye impression and dance while singing "If I Were a Rich Man" in a barn.

What?

So, that was Michaelangelo... With a detour into what sexuality may have been/meant in the Renaissance he inhabited...

Now 400+ pages in and we hit an "Interlude" which I shall use to head to the shop for some food...

Tonight, #Gladiators is back in it's earlier slot again (17:50) followed by Big Night of #Musicals 2025 and then I am leaning towards O'Dessa to top my evening...

I love weird ranked lists, whether it's the BAFTA list of the "most iconic video game characters of all time" (bafta.org/media-centre/press-r) that had Sackboy 5 ahead of Pikachu and Pac-Man, and the guy from RDR2 and 2 characters from the just released Baldur's Gate 3 on it, or the IGN list (ign.com/articles/the-best-100-) that was heavily Nintendo at the top and had FF7 at 97 and it was clear that the people making the list didn't really play sports games or JRPGs because there were so few

So the #QuestionOfTheDay is what's a memorable weird/terrible top X list (from any topic) that you remember and want to share? What's weird/terrible about the choices?

#QuestionOfTheDay if you had to be roommates with a fictional archvillain, who would you choose?

(Define archvillain as a major villain, chief villain, leader, etc whoever you would see as one of the "main" villains in something and not merely a minion or lieutenant, if they're primarily the villain of a story despite working for a greater evil they can still count for the purposes of this question (Shredder, Sauron, Moff Tarkin, etc), my intent is just for people not to pick like Iago from Aladdin or something)
