Nashville? always wanted to go but either I am not in town for it or forget. How was it?
yeah!! It was really fun- today they did As You Like It, and next month is Julius Caesar :D

Husband and I watched the other night. He saw it in theater and loved it. I really enjoyed it too. Puritan folk lore and religious beliefs fascinates

I totally need to watch that. I'm not usually into horror movies but I've heard its period setting is really accurate!
anagrammatica replied to your post: “I just watched “The Witch”. A really good movie! ”
!!! isn't it good? what did you like about it?
It is very period accurate. The costumes even looked like they might have been sewn by hand. I’ve read a bit about witchcraft beliefs in the seventeenth century and the movie is like something straight out of a book or something. It’s just like what you read about. The language is spot on. And it really gives a good feeling for what it must have been like for people who came here from England in the early years. Their worldview is thoroughly fleshed out-- you get a vivid sense of how real and urgent their belief in God, Lucifer, heaven, hell, sin, etc. were, and the belief in witchcraft fits right in. The scariness doesn’t come from so much from conventional horror movie gimmicks and sheer gruesomeness, although there is some of that. The scariness comes from immersing yourself in the characters’ fear for their immortal souls while trying to hold their families together and survive in this lonely, isolated, terrifying environment. You also don’t see many films that deal with the high child and infant mortality rate of the time. I think this is a must-see for anyone interested in the early modern era, colonial America, and beliefs about witchcraft. The afterword at the end says that the story is based on a careful reading of many folktales, trials, and even novels of the era. Much of the dialogue is taken directly from those sources, they say.

Nashville hockey games are fun. I’ve only been to one, and was rooting for the other team lol, but I had a blast. Nashville loves their hockey. There are also a lot of Michigan transplants here that are Predator fans until the Red Wings come to town.
That’s really cool! I’ve never followed a team before (for any sport, actually)- there was like a smaller team near me when I was a kid that soon left, so I have no pre-existing loyalties.
Also that is bizzare, but we had a similar situation with switching loyalties w/ college football where I grew up lol.

Oh thank you for saying you don’t think the Hollow Crown adaptations are that great. I watched Henry IV P1 and found it overall rather boring, some good parts but…Then I watched The Globe version of Henry IV on Digital Theatre and loved that.
I think if you watch them as made-for-tv movies, rather than as adaptations of Shakespeare’s plays, they’re quite entertaining. But once you see the recent Globe or RSC productions of the same plays, you realize what you missed out on.

Yay! I'm so glad someone else is watching it now. I am loving it! Watched 4 episodes yesterday. Had a day off and got totally sucked in. I like each individual story and am interested in what happens to each main character.
I know! Me too! I’m so interested in and genuinely like all of the characters and their stories are all developing so carefully, one piece at a time, and it just makes me yell-- ONE MORE EPISODE! Every time. It’s going to be super hot here today and tonight and I might just binge watch all day.

That is awesome! Have fun. Love Florence! I’m still hoping to make it to Bonnaroo this year so I can see her.
I hope you get to see her, too. I’ve never seen her live, so I’m really excited about seeing her for the first time.

Did you ever hear that interview DT did with Jo Wiley where he mentioned he listed to David Bowie before his Richard II performances? I don’t remember which album he listened to. Think he mentioned it in another interview too.
Yes! I heard that interview. The album he listened to was “The Next Day”. I listened to it and wasn’t as impressed. But it made me happy that he listened to Bowie because that was so appropriate for Richard.
