The One With One Movie, Seven Chances, And Countless References

Seven Chances

Buster Keaton revisited.
Different musical setting this time i.e. only one musician and she played keyboard - despite a real piano standing across the room. But, hey, she managed to imitate e.g. organs. Actually, she managed something greater: she upgraded the whole movie from fine to very good.
The story is simple, definitely less complicated or meaningful than that of The Three Ages. Yet, somehow she made it more entertaining - mostly by incorporating various well-known musical themes into the soundtrack. Some that I recognised and remembered: Love Story, Conquest of Paradise, Koziołek Matołek, Abba's Money Money, W małym kinie; she even put Charlie Chaplin's classic tunes [into Buster Keaton's film] - that is perverse! And I loved it.

Stay tuned!

The One With Total Confusion

I remember that once, when I was a little girl, I was playing with two friends. Suddenly, one of them told me to go away, she told me I had behaved impolitely to the other one so I would not be allowed to play with them any more.
I was totally confused, not aware what my crime was. I headed home and when I got back my Mom saw me and instantly asked what was wrong. I burst into tears and mumbled that nobody liked me.

Today, I have experienced a replay of that situation.

Stay tuned.

The One Where New Neighbours Make Your Day

I got up in the morning and headed for the bathroom. In there I heard music - not surprising, since bathroom is always the place where you get to know what is going at your neighbours'. At first, I thought the music was disco polo... Only after a while I figured it out - they were Christmas carols!

Stay tuned.

The One With Too Many Kings And Queens, And One Princess Short

Today I have encountered a man who does not know The Princess and the Pea.
The name Hans Christian Andersen gave him no clue.
Sad.

Stay tuned.
