Trust me. :) @kalfudra: Good taste however, is universal. @bpsk Those pics of kanji look oh so delicious. Australian service...no food. Wait...food for thought? :) I was hoping to end the post with a profound sentence. Apparently, I wasn't paying attention when they taught sentence construction in school. :) @nocon You haven’t seen bad singing until you’ve seen me sing. Trust me. :)

Thoran and kanji (should it be spelt Kanni? :p) is an acquired taste, I think. Check out this site: http://tinyurl.com/2bvb2m What was the food at the Australian service? Not sure I understand what you mean by the last "in spite of themselves." Fascinating, especially the food served in Kerala.

I haven't seen blue, I'd probably have to readjust my assessment of Todo... when I do see it. But who knows... there's no accounting for taste. @presti:

Apparently you're not the only one who enjoys all the bad singing. :) @kalafudra 7.5 is pretty good in my books milady. I did like the film a lot though there were scenes I felt were a bit too forced and artificial; for example I really didn't buy it when Cecilia Roth cried during a performance of Streetcar Named Desire. I mean I can uderstand grief and all but still...Personally, I thought Binoche's performance in Keislowski's Blue was far superior to Roth's. Vry restrained. Both women go through somewhat the same experiences...

The pentecostal church is even better coz no-one really cares how awful your voice is: the screechier the better. the only thing I actually liked about church was all the singing.
