I don't understand Musicals

[xp_wallflower]

I'm watching Sound of Music.

I feel that bursting into song is not an appropriate response to your problems.

Captain Von Trapp is a hottie though, good choice Maria.

Disney has taught me that breaking into song is always the right option :p

For real though, that movie is long and boring and I don't know why anyone likes it.

You meet Chris Plummer at the film festival three years ago and oozed all over him

[xp_rogue]

Cuz he's a hot old man, duh. You're just jealous.

[xp_dominion]

Of course I'm jealous of Chris Plummer! That was the point!

raises fist in triumph

[xp_wallflower]

I can I only assume Chris Plummer is not the English footballer...

[xp_dominion]

... seriously? He's the Canadian actor who played Captain Von Trapp.

Is this some cultural thing of which I wasn't aware? I apologise that I did not recognise the actor's name.

Are you in need of a fainting couch?

[xp_dominion]

You watched his name go past in the credits right before the hills are alive and yet your first thought was some retired Brit soccer player? And it's hardly cultural. He won an Oscar this decade. He's one of the most distinguished actors in Hollywood...

Never mind. You'll end up asking people who Babe Ruth is and what did she do to people by tomorrow and this will all make sense.

[xp_wallflower]

Isn't Babe Ruth some kind of candy bar?

[xp_dominion]

Yes. It was invented by Coke Edison and originally marketed by Elvis Gaga.

[xp_wallflower]

Now you're just making fun of me. I don't think Lady Gaga's first name is Elvis.

[xp_wallflower]

I think because it’s considered a classic. People always seem more likely to put up with boredom if they can be snooty about it to their friends afterwards.

Which reminds me. What are you up to on New Years?

[xp_rogue]

Not watching Sound of Music ;) Not sure yet, haven't asked Logan if we have anything planned. Probably not, to be honest. Been doing a lot of vegging lol

You?

[xp_wallflower]

Nothing yet, although I had a thought of perhaps getting some mansion people together for something of a bar crawl in District X.

[xp_rogue]

Um yes please? We haven't done anything together in aggges!
