So this yau ma tei theatre is the only pre ww2 built one still standing. Quaint. 3 older chi broads drafted mookie as their date and gave him the lowdown on the place and performance.

Re: Arts - cause Mookie is cultured

the weinstein play was ok. malkovich was quite funny overplaying harvey (bernie fein was the characters name). everytime he attempted to get out of a chair he rocked back and forth at least 4x to get the hefty load moving. never seeing harvey, not sure if that was made up or not :p, but it was amusing. perhaps that is why the review mookie saw referred to the play as "mean" :confused: as fat played a role in harvey's excuse for having to use power for sex

It does suck. Every time I've seen it I'm driven away by idiots and they're stupid incessant need to take a picture of it (with flash, ugh) or get a selfie with it. THey should just ban cameras in museums.

I was there in '00, and there were some American kids there either just graduated from high school or underclassmen in college. The blonde girl started with, "I don't get, why is this so popular? It doesn't look that special at all." Her friend the replied, "Yeah, I know, right!" I'm standing there, looking around the room at all of the works from masters who were da Vinci's contemporaries, 2-d paintings using bright colors, extolling God and the angels. Then there's the Mona Lisa, a simple painting of a woman, using earth tones and showing depth of field for the background. It's amazing that people exist who either don't or can't understand the epoch this painting represents.

Agreed. But to be fair, I don't think your average high school kid should be expected to understand European art history at an advanced level like your understanding. It would be amazing to see this and understand it for what it is. Especially in person.

But alas, Steve Jobs robbed us of that.

Re: Arts - cause Mookie is cultured

Jobs only made it worse. You can't tell me that Japanese and American tourists weren't snapping bad pics of the Mona Lisa with cheap digital cameras 20 years ago, or film cameras 30+ years ago.
