Cultural Opp#3

FOr my third culural opp I watched fear and loathing in las vegas. It was a pretty intense movie that sort of was fun to watch and stuff. One of the songs for a band I liked was kindof about that movie/boook. It s called Bat Country by Avenged Sevenfold, I think that it was a p retty decent. That movie was kinda trippy. It wasn't like real horrible, but it wasn't like amazing. It was just kind of two people driving around in a ca r. I was kinda wierded out about it. It was like one big trip the whole movie. Someone is alwqays trippin on some kinda drug during the whole movie, and basically the peoplem do stpid shit when their trippping. Like it was actually kina comical in the effect that all they do is compkltelely stupid stuff when their under the influence of the drug. SO there really wasnt much to the movie, i didnt like the plotline too much. It was just kinda there you know.

Cultural Opp #2

Hi! for my 2nd cultural op I went to see a play/musical at the Universtiy of Illinois in Chanpmaign Urbaba. The play/musical was called My Fair Lady. My sister was on the crew for the play. I dont really know exactly what it was she did though. I think she was eitheer the assisatant director, or the direcrctor. The play had a lot of things in it that I thought were kinda funny. I dont really understand what was happening. I mean to say that I really didnt understand the topics. I did nt really string together the seemenligy unrealted scattered events on a string to make a plot. I think that was my main problem with the people. ALl the singing was kind of wired though. I wish there were only of couple songs in the play, and the people sign really high. I dont know I see that it can take talent to do but I dodnt really enjoy that type of music. SO the play was kind of boring and I didn't like it too much. I mostly went just to see my sister and stuff but then I remebered it would count as a cultural opp so i felt like I had an actual reason to go. IT was still boring From what I understand it was about A girl woh cant speak well so some guys teaches how to speak they fall in love,,,, play over.. I didnt pick up on the minor point I think someone had an affair somewhere, but im not sure. I dont know I didnt really super enjoy the play but I didnt hate it... It just bored me for a little bit but idk it wasn't that bad. I was just bored most of the time with nothing at all to do, but sit there and listen to the play, it was just killing my mind, the play lasted around 2 and a half hours and had an intermission for around 30 minutes, it was just kinda boring.
