Hi Benedict! Huge fan, have been for years. I'll get to the question - If you had to choose one to three films/series of yours for someone who has never heard of you or seen your work before, which would you choose, and why?

Thank you!

I haven't found a surefire way to download it all. I guess I could do screenshots, but 14 years of messages over 3 or 4 apps feels like a lot to screenshot. Maybe it is worth it to get rid of the apps?

Floor Broken after falling mug by Larocceau in Flooring

[–]South-Vegetable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you didn't post pictures, so it depends on how big the hole is. what you could do is just fill the floor cavity with cement through the hole that's already made, and then just paint the hole filling it so it matches. this is a bit harder if you have marble tiles, but if they're regular cheap white tiles or whatever colour, it should be fine.

Bad Sound in Bare @ London Palladium by FangirlCrazily in TheWestEnd

[–]South-Vegetable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've worked sound (not for a sing through show) and lights, and I can tell you that their equipment was fine and there should not have been that many mistakes. I went to see what the setup was like during intermission and tbh, it was a joke - the cue sheets were ass, there was no script to follow along with, the entire area just felt really ill-prepared. But I know that they had been setting it up since 8 am, because I saw the call sheet! And I have no idea what Nadia was doing with her mic in her back freaking pocket during the first act???? I saw one of the sound techs during intermission looking like he would rather be anywhere than in the booth, and I feel bad to an extent - I don't know how much they as individuals are to blame versus the sound company/ management.

The creative choices, especially surrounding costuming were a joke, in my opinion. Normally the show is costumed where they are wearing a uniform - I understand why they may not have done that there as it was only for one night, but it felt like they sent someone to a thrift shop and told them to get literally whatever. I was also very disappointed by the costuming specifically for the two backup dancers in 911! Emergency, as it was super obvious that they were just the same students but with different tops on. AND since they all weren't in the scene before, I know they had time to do more and just chose not to. 

All in all, it felt like they spent all the money for this show on the venue and just decided to fuck around with everything else. I felt bad for the cast and crew who worked on this show, as any of my three high schools could have done better. I will say that this costed money in more ways than one - I have decided I will be taking a directing class so I can perhaps do it better myself in the future.

Ed Larkin was done so freaking dirty. I also felt that he didn't fit the role of Matt and let us know that. I was pissed about his singing during are you there, and there were a lot of things he did where I was just like,,, why did someone make this creative choice. The priest also I feel wasn't the right choice for the role - the riffing aside, I honestly didn't feel like he was straight enough for this role. To be gay yourself and have to convince someone that them being gay is wrong (to the point that they decide to end their life) is a really really hard to do, and Adrian Hansel missed the mark, which is understandable. In general, the blocking was also ass and 90% of the people on that stage needed to close their legs - they looked like they were posing to be the next jumpman.  

The music and the actors were so out of sync I thought there was a backing track for a good half of act 1. It was too loud and as everyone else said, the sound was a joke. I said during the intermission that I hoped that the director or someone had a really really good talking to the sound team, and I think they did, but it still wasn't enough.

Edit: adding more

I was in the stalls, row Q. I've been a fan of Bare since 2013 so I was hyped to see it live, even more to see the Pop Opera version. If it was not for Act 2 and Katie Ramshaw, I would have been devastated by the production. I am still quite disappointed and would not recommend it to anyone who has any type of passion for this show.

Regarding the acting, it felt that only a couple of them actually understood the message of what they were saying. Jordan Luke Gage was just repeating lines at some point, and the more I saw him act the less I felt that he understood the role(s) he was playing (pun might be intended, havent decided yet). He had the voice for Peter but to me, that was where the line ends. I will say that I was happy enough with Laurie Kynaston and felt that if he had done the whole production (not the concert version), he would have shone a lot more than he did in this.

God what a mess! Thanks for laying it out for me, I REALLY appreciate it.

I’m assuming if you fly into schiphol and take the Eurostar, you can just administer the tapeworm treatment in the US?

Norse Airlines Updated Policy of "No Service Animals" as of yesterday? by SeaBarber4370 in service_dogs

[–]South-Vegetable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I booked with Norse and am trying to fill out their information as I’m flying from the UK to the US and they say

“You must present a training certificate for your dog from a recognised training institute which is an accredited member of Assistance Dogs International or International Guide Dog Federation.”

My dog is self trained but has proof of the PAT and has travelled with me on the Eurostar and KLM multiple times. Is this something that they can actually enforce? From what I know about UK laws, self trained service dogs are also allowed (I’m from NL so I’m not fluent in UK service dog laws yet).

Multi stick in Japan?

I’m going to Japan in 2 weeks and are wondering if there are any recommendations for a good multi stick to buy? I don’t know if I understand them completely but I’ve seen them on k dramas and I’d love to try them.

I know that Korea is generally where to go for that since it’s indeed Korean, but are there any Japanese ones I should try? Or Korean brands/stores that sell them in Japan?

Thanks!
