"He photographed everything from soup to nuts--mostly the nuts"--The Cameraman
Saw the Metropolitan Opera production of The Magic Flute (as staged by Julie Taymor) in HDTV live at the Paramount. The place was sold out. Lots of fancy visuals, but they cut out quite a bit of it, like the line where Papageno compares Pamina to her portrait and says, "Everything's the same, except for hands and feet--according to this, you don't have any!" [They just gave it a rebroadcast!]
Dinner was McDonald's.
Saw the DVD of Buster Keaton's silent The Cameraman. The first of his MGM studio productions, it has a more conventional story than The General and Steamboat Bill, Jr., but it's still full of brilliant gags.
