Twelve? Ocean's Twelve is the sequel, which I have never seen; Ocean's Eleven was the original; have you seen the former?
Heh! Heh! Well, McTag, I didn't watch it all, but the music was gnawing at my memory so I just had to find out. Ocean's 12? My word..lol
the original "Ocean's Eleven" was a Frank Sinatra vehicle, back in the '50's.
I did see it once, but was unimpressed; but then i am not an 'old' movie fan, they didn't have a fraction of the technique, back then, that they have aquired now.
The remakes are always technically better, but do not always have an equal level of screenwriting, and direction.
[never even heard of Oceans Twelve; probably one of those bad 'coat tails' farces, hoping to capitalize on any popularity!]
Nope. My god child just told me it WAS Ocean's 11, but that a sequel is in the making called Ocean's 12.
I learned to like George Clooney after O Brother Where Art Thou, but wasn't interested in the movie, just the music.
Funny, i found the music ...............'hokie', and the allussion to the 'Odyssey' ...........'strained'!
Strained like my memory....when you mentioned George Clooney, Letty, I thought of a newspaper article I read yesterday about him and the new film. I didn't know he had already been in a remake of the Sinatra film....which I enjoyed, BTW, in its day. (Ee-oh-e-leven....)
ah, McTag. It was that piper that did it. Drives everything right from one's head.
Is that a sentence? And was that a question?
ah, clary. Bo was alluding to the Pied Piper of Hamlin:
So, Willy, let me and you be wipers
Of scores out with all men -- especially pipers!
And, whether they pipe us free from rats or from mice,
If we've promised them aught, let us keep our promise!
How true, my friend.
Question me on anything. Apart from cheese.
(Yes, I know he was)
Cheese may be a good way of storing milk for the winter. But the Asians think it smells disgusting.
Disgusting? Disgusting, I feel, is in the eye of the beholder.
Good grief, yawl. To me the last bit I posted from Browning had more to do with "paying the piper" than catching a rat. Which, of course, reminds me of Tybalt in Romeo and Juliet. I think it was Mercutio who called him "rat catcher."
Rat-catcher? Yes, it was indeed Mercutio who called that to Tybalt, in the scene in which M. dies, if I am not mistaken: I sometimes wonder whether it were a good idea to kill the star off so early, but it heightens the tragedy.
Death of a lesser star - "Children of a Lesser God"
Bo, are you kidding? All great Shakespearian actors wanted to play Mercutio.
Oh, Bo! Don't worry; anyway, Mercutio is a great part; I think that you could play it well.
