I had so much fun reading the Casa Bonita comments from fellow Denverites and ex-Denverites that I wanted to continue the conversation. Consider this an open thread about Denver popular culture.

I'm in the market for a new MP3 player -- my second-gen iPod Nano is finally dead, and I don't want to buy another iPod, or any other player with DRM built in. I figure that any company that wants to devote its engineers to figuring out how to frustrate my desires doesn't really want my business.

BocasResearchStation sez, "This video shows an octopus cleverly trying to camouflage itself amongst seaweed in Bocas del Toro, Panama.
Hiding is the primary defense mechanism for these creatures, and this little guy is making use of branches of algae to try to get by unseen."

"Getting enough sleep, on a regular cycle, may make us a better version of ourselves. And even though my greatest wish is usually more time in the day, I'd rather feel good and perform well than get to be a crankier, impulsive, sick version of myself for a few extra hours a day."... More.

Domingo conducts? Oh man, I hope this comes to NY. I was just on the west coast for PAX, and I don't have the vacation days or money to go back for awhile.
And Dante Ferretti is the set designer. Amazing group of people.
Man, that looks awesome. I'd totally see that.
I thought Cronenberg's re-make of the 1958 Vincent Price vehicle was kind of lame. There was a time when Price's final line, "Help me! Help Meee..." (said in a tiny voice) was as recognizable a quote as, "I'm melting! I'm meltinng..."
When are they going to do a live version of Dr.Horrible's sing-along blog?
That was Kurt Neumann, 1958. Also, the line; "Help me! Please help me!", was uttered by the Andre/Fly who was played by David Hedison. It was not his last line. That line was; "No!".
I'm sorry to note that the NY Times, NY Post and CNN all pretty much hated the show. In fact, I've yet to find a good review. It's a shame- after reading the above article, I really got my hopes up. I don't think it'll ever open on Broadway with the reviews I've seen so far. I would have liked to have seen it, 'tho.
i saw it sunday afternoon. paled in comparison to il trittico (woody allen directed the third part) on friday night, which was great.
it was interesting as a modern opera, but basically kinda sucked.
I was able to catch "The Last Starfighter: The Musical" on off Broadways and was throughly delighted. This one looks even better. When can I see Andrew Lloyd Weber's version of "Tron" (made like "Starlight Express").

I say The Fly opera in July in Paris and LOVED IT! There is nothing even remotely resembling an aria--or a melody. It's like gleefully discordant horror music. Watching an opera Diva in stirrups while her lover climbs on the ceiling overhead and begs her not to abort is not something you see in Verdi. Listening to her belt out with Wagnerian passion "The brundlefly is dead" is worth the price of admission alone.
I'm sad. For some reason I can never understand sung opera lyrics even when they're in English. :_(
Nathan Barley foreshadowed this with "Em@il - the musical"
