Father's Day 2012

Got Dad a bag of coffee for Father's Day, he never was too big on the holiday so we just got him that and a card made by Louis, a familiar combo which also serves us very well on Mothers Day. Went to the cinema this evening for the modern experience of seeing a taped stage performance, in this case, Danny Boyle's Frankenstein. The cinema version did provide some advantages with smart use of camera angles and not being put in an embarrassing position when you accidentally make eye contact with an actor. That said, that is exactly what makes seeing a live performance special, you begin to feel a part of the action and the performance as a member of the audience, when the cinema ending occurred there was taped applause but not need for it where I was sitting. The play was phenomenally good however, a very smart and well written with knock-out performances all round, especially the two leads. I saw the Johnny Lee Miller Monster version, came out thinking it would be impossible to see it the other way around but I hear its just as good in vise versa.
