Went to see the new movie "The History Boys" tonight.
In June I saw this same story as a Broadway play the night before it won a Tony for Best New Play. Originally performed in London, the same cast mounted the play in London and New York and starred in the movie (which was filmed before they came to Broadway).
"The History Boys" touches on lots of issues, but it's primarily about teachers and the role they play in our lives. Don't we all have that special one or two teachers who really made a connection and for whom we really wanted to learn?
I enjoyed the play very much, but I liked the movie much more. I understood it better -- even the scenes entirely in French.
Plus, on the big screen you could see their faces! On Broadway, GeezBob and I sat in the very last (crowded) row of the Orchestra Section. But we were "in the room" as they say.
Site Meter Update: November saw a record number of visitors to this blog -- approximately 875. The site meter was chugging along at a normal pace until a few days ago when the Rupert Grint (red-headed co-star of the Harry Potter movies) fan site linked to the photo I took of him at LAX in October. The site meter started whirring. On Tuesday alone I had over 200 hits.
Welcome to all those randy tweeners from around the world stopping by! Go ahead and add this blog to your favorites, girl/dawg.
