    ...I am gonna spin the Sokurov's Russian Ark on the large screen with full surround sound. I told my wife she will not be allowed to get out of her seat till the very end.

    The projector gets its video through the DVI of course.

    BTW - I have a question for you. Last night I was flipping the channels and when I switched to one of the HDTV channels there was Bach's St. John Passion, the concert from some super-modern concert hall in Munich. I only caught the last ten minutes or so, and it was incredible.

    My question... when the soloists came on stage, there was a badly disfigured singer, he is hardly over 1 meter tall, with intelligent face.

    Do you know that singer? I think you should since I suspect he is German.

        If the Ark is on, definitely see it, seeing it is a good idea, even if you don't like it at the end. I definitely felt cheated, as that museum is like a vital organ to me, and I was hoping for something better.

        As far as the Passion, I already have several versions, but sounds like one more will be on order shortly.

          Well, you wrote " KA KA " That was not a good critic for being eager to see it!
          Passion..hum... I only have this VHS US copy....very bad.
          But I am glad that it is loosing grip on me....

            He-he... kaka I think is the right word, but as I said, given its popularity and contraversy I would be curious to hear your opininon.

            So please spare an hour and a half tonight!

            BTW - when I said Passion I meant the Bach's St. John Passion, not the Passion in the Desert film - I just want to hear Thomas sing that oratorio.

              As monotony breaks my heart ( NOT monogamy..)
              Oh! I see...
              I just had four days ago " Bach Christmas Oratorium " for two hours in a cold, hard seat ( and yes my " posterieur is fragile " ) in a nice church in the Rheingau ( you will see it ) from the 12th century.
              I will tape it and see it tomorrow.
              TONIGH is definitively " Clueless " night!

                I told you to watch the Clueless - one of my long time guilty pleasures. But I hope you don't finish it thinking that it is ME who is so hopelessly clueless!

                As I said, Alicia is so charmingly - ahem - clueless in that film it is irresistable!

                  What´s worse I already....saw it...but forgot about it..A VERY predictable film...nicely set in colour like a pastell bombon, reminding me as a kind of precursor of " Sex and the City* " somehow, and here it goes ...THAT´s my guilty pleasure, my VERY....

                  * Or what Sex first?

                  At being particulary severe on this one!
                  God have pity on your soul, if it won´t turn out a guilty pleasure for me too!

                  PS: Have you read the Poe´s novel " The Amontillado Jar? " If not..you should..hahaha..

                    Those novels have been among my favotires when I was perhaps 13. Always sent shivers down my spine.

                    Now I am afraid to visit you... and you know, I do love Amontillado!

                      it was more of an introduction ( a facon of saying ) than of a question!
                      I read them the first time at about the same age.
                      And now pray for Miss Cueless....
