In Reply to: I used to work on operas. posted by Analog Scott on January 4, 2007 at 16:20:13:
Just a quick comment on that opera thing and then need to run, might come back to do the second part later.I love opera, and listen a lot to it, in fact have the ipod with nothing but opera in my car at the moment. For the life of me I can't understand your rejection of bel canto, but hence the rub - I do not have such reaction towards the sci fi movies, none at all. I actually love them as light form of entertainment. But I also find that what the American cinema has done to that genre truly sucks - it turnd it into a monster - pun purely intended... with nothing but row upon row of drooling ugly creatures. Sci fi can be intelligent, insigntful, psychological, entertaining and more - and that is how I recall it.
But today's dirty wave of "creaturism" is revolting.
But like I said - I do not see any similarity between your feelings towards the opera and mine regarding the sci-fi films. Give me a good one and I will enjoy it.
