Yesterday I was watching a video about Iceland, with its mountains, snow and icebergs (who knows for how much time they will exist...). I has been there too one year ago and it was beautiful!
All that snow and ice inspired me this #ThursdayFiveList
Let's share 5 songs about cold, ice, frost. References to cold places are good. Metaphorical also counts.
Je remets ce vieux thread sur de magnifiques covers de jeux vidéo. Pas envie qu'il disparaisse. A l'époque où j'étais en coloc avec L'aspi, on avait tout compilé dans un dossier une multitude d'illustrations très laides qu'on trouvait dans les magasins ou sur le net.
Je commence avec Snow White And The 7 Clever Boys, un jeu PS2, la contrefaçon de Phoenix Games:
On continue la thématique "Phoenix Games" avec la cover de Cinderella, toujours sur PS2. Les 2 jeux cités sont tout aussi douteux visuellement ingame, mais dans un style différent.
#Disney shouldn’t be surprised most of their “tentpole” movies are not getting $1B this year. Their theme parks average 2 to 3 times in spend vs 5 years ago.
In #DisneyWorld theme parks, there are no theaters at all. Put 1 huge theater in each of the 4 parks (each running a new/recent release), built to handle - say - 400 ppl. Charge $15/ea person. During extremely hot days or rainy days it would sell out!!!
Can Broadway please put a 30 year moratorium on revivals, and reinterpretations of Cinderella, and Romeo & Juliet - with or without Romeo. Enough is enough! A 10 year moratorium on Sondheim revivals would be nice too. Hollywood’s superhero fatigue is nothing compared to Broadway’s Sondheim fatigue. #Broadway#Cinderella#RomeoAndJuliet#Sondheim
#FairyTaleTuesday: There is also a #Celtic version of #Cinderella: Fair, Brown and Trembling. Since #Trembling was the most beautiful, her older sisters made her stay at home, for fear that she would marry before them...
Here, too, the prince finds the right woman for the rest of his life, with the help of her shoe, which she has lost.

Read this interpretation of the Cinderella story, recast as a "true record" without fairy godmothers or pumpkin coaches. And who is the little ferryman?
Part 2 should be done by December 2022 (edit, Feb 2024: hah hah hah) followed by Part 3.
