Showtime

Any time spent out with The Missus is, by definition, a good time, and I generally enjoyed yesterday evening's jaunt to the cinema at the Jem Mall. But I can't honestly say that sitting through the film we watched, Mat Kilau, the highest ever grossing movie in Malaysia, was an unalloyed pleasure.

Quick review: nice costumes (but too clean); good use of locations & sets; some effective cinematography - though very tiresome indeed on the (many, many) action scenes; tiresome soundtrack; patchy acting, occasionally dreadful; dreadful script; historically inaccurate to the point of being disturbing (very.) 

Now gearing up to watch our own production - The Independent Stage Guide to Using Your Imagination. Actually I've not yet seen the final edit of the show put together by our editing team, so that's one aspect of the piece that'll be entirely new to me.

And here's a first for this Far Place, with me providing a link to this evening's proceedings. It goes live (as they say, these days) 7.30 pm (local time) at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MRkkaSJycw.
