Day 27 (or 1276)

[swordznsorcery]

Apparently I'm now averaging one of these every fortnight. I may actually end it this year! Although not if there's many more questions like this one.

27. A song that breaks your heart.

Another daft question. If it broke my heart, I wouldn't listen to it, would I. I certainly wouldn't want to inflict it on anybody else. This one took some thinking. There isn't a song that seems directly appropriate, but there is one that sort of is. It doesn't break my heart - quite the opposite! Maybe it's a little cheesy, but I love this song. I do wish it had been written thirty years ago though. If it had, there might have been a little less that broke.

Yeah *punch the air* I like how they've overlaid the lyrics on the video.

I thought that about this question too!

Have you seen the film ("The Greatest Showman")? It's great fun. Very silly, but infectiously so.

I haven't seen the film as I only watch modern films when they appear on freeview!

Oh, wow. *loves* I see what you mean. That's an awesome song for those of us who don't fit in.

[swordznsorcery]

Very sensible! The older ones are almost invariably better. I have got a bit sucked into modern stuff lately because of Iron Man & Friends, but I can't help but wonder, as I watch them, how they'd look on a BBC budget, circa 1980.

I'm quite tempted by the Mary Poppins sequel too, I must admit. Won't see it at the cinema though. They let other people into those things! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3jsfXDZLIY

Isn't it?! And she has such a voice. She acts the song rather less when she does it live, but it does show off her voice more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqKbKp0ZoNI

Film with longest gap between sequels?

I'm hoping to watch silent 'Three Musketeers' next week to see if it matches up to newer ones! As I didn't like the airships one, very well, I predict.

1980s Iron Man would probably have 'Rentaghost' effects! Avengers films would be 100% better as the battle scenes would be a heck of a lot shorter.

She's got a gorgeous voice. I can't believe she's not incredibly well known with a voice like that.

[swordznsorcery]

She seems to be very shy. From what she's said, she was hiding away from the world, trying to pretend she didn't exist, but Hugh Jackman had heard her sing somewhere, and was determined to have her as his Bearded Lady.

I recommend the film, incidentally ("The Greatest Showman" - it came out last year, and is out on DVD/Amazon video). I think you'd enjoy it. Trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jr9QtXwC9vc

I've just finished watching it. It was a lot of fun. :oD
