my mother was getting nostalgic for some reason, and decided that tonight would be movie night. because dad as asleep promptly at 80, (i'm not comfortable talking about why this is) it was just me, her and abagail. she decided to watch my fair lady.

I remember seeing it when i was 10, and dear me, have i ever made a larger error in judgment thinking it was the most homo-erotic movie ever just for being a musical!
At that tender age my heart was too callous to be wafted about the streets of victorian london to the songs of the street urchins! It was too heavy to soar skyward on the melodies of the upper crust at the horse races. And, most of all, my heart was too hopeless to think that a "vile female creature" could be transformed into a beautiful, respectable and grammatically correct angel!

I especially liked how the cold professor Higgins had his heart melted by the reverberations of the female voice. Although he read Keats, he could not FEEL. (I've read Keats, and I assure you I can FEEL) But when the magic of a muse, his creation in the mold of Pygmalion, sings to him, he becomes a human soul in posession of his second half. (According to Plato's Symposium, which is alluded to when Higgins holds a bust of half a human head).

I am resolved. Harlotte and I will have movie night, and this will be our movie. Perhaps she will see the angel within her I can uncover if only she desires to be bettered through intellect.

are you actually dating this girl, yet?

I knew he was gay

Stewie Griffin was based on Professor Higgins. That little tidbit always makes me giggle.

the taming of the shrew.

worth it for audrey hepburn.

i haven't seen the film, but i was at the musical just a few days ago. i rather liked it, certainly gave me a few new insults to call people.

never seen the movie, and youngwerther's description is reassuring in that regard.

Musicals are gay. Although Gwars' Phallus In Wonderland was a pretty cool flick

I once punched a british guy... in the face....

Fuck you douches musicals are cool. And I dont care ho gay that sounds. Nothing rocks like watching Les Miserables in the Christmas season.

Les Miserables is in a class all its own, I find it distatefull to put it in the same catagory as My Fair Lady.

its a musical play isnt it?

I suppose you could group them together, in a vast generalization like... all matter is alike because it all contains carbon.

or because theyre both musical plays that appeared on Broadway.

*sigh* i don't think many of you have what it takes to appreciate a musical. I'm not entirely sure on this, but I don't think there is a single musical in existence that has the prerequisite buttsex and pen0rs to be appreciated on darkforum.

you know nothing

and i actually happen to be am quite the theatregoer.

agreed with everyone on the Les Mis front, it's my favourite by far, and i see it at least twice a year in the west end of london without fail. (except when it was moving theatres due to renevation)

i do infact own a long sleeved tshirt with 24601 in large numbers on the front.

never met someone who actually noticed it and what it was from though.

I want your shirt.

bought it when i went to see les mis last year. long blue sleeves, stone grey rest of it. got les miserables motif text on the back just under the neck.

thats fucking awsome...

I must own one.

Because in your eyes we're all mindless neanderthals who live our daily offline lives the same as we do online?

Christ, you're an idiot. I hope you tire of this game quickly, because this alter ego is stumbling into douchebag land.
