I went to a matinee screening in New Jersey with my then best friend, the late Brian Daley, who had just sold his first science-fiction novel and would go on to write a trilogy of Han Solo novels and radio dramatizations of the classic movies. That man suffering from neurofibromatosis, now as handsome as a matinee idol. Angelum ingelum koothaattunde kuzhaluthunde. When Ted arrived for the matinée, Gavin was already waiting near the cinema. Matinee is a 2012 Malayalam romantic film starring Maqbool Salmaan and Mythili in the lead roles, directed by Aneesh Upasana. It was all girlish gewgaws: pandas and arcade Kewpie dolls, pinups of matinee idols and college pennants on the walls.įollowing the cartoon and news matinée the next Saturday, Ted met Gavin in the usual place, beside the ostrich which Ted tried not to notice. I'm sorry I have to be a stranger with hay fever and on my way to lunch and a matinee. He belonged to the old school of fighters who looked the part, and in these days of pugilists who resemble matinee idols he had the appearance of an anachronism.īetteredge said, when the anthropometrist had moved upstairs, "if you feel I was responsible, sir… For losing her, I mean-" "I believe, Betteredge, that I dispatched you earlier to a matinee, at the Garrick, to report on the acrobatic ladies of Manhattan, did I not?īetteredge said, when the anthropometrist had moved upstairs, "if you feel I was responsible, sir For losing her, I mean" "I believe, Betteredge, that I dispatched you earlier to a matinee, at the Garrick, to report on the acrobatic ladies of Manhattan, did I not?Įven if he had paid Rudy back, the two of them had been friends since grade school, and it seemed (looking back) that Larry had always been a dime short for the Saturday matinee because he'd bought some licorice whips or a couple of candy bars on the way over to Rudy's, or borrowing a nickel to round out his school lunch money or getting seven cents to make up carfare.Ī Greencoat Show matinee as well as an extra performance tonight, and we want two major feature films showing at the cinemas.

Monday Matinee: Disconnect (2012) (Reposted from an old blog) Written by: Andrew Stern. In Birtwistle's recent Gigue Machine and in Michael Finnissy's 1974 Piano Concerto No 2, Hodges offered virtuosic and artistically authoritative playing that left one wondering whether any combination of notes would ever be beyond him. Entirely new was Brian Elias's Electra Mourns, a Sophocles-based scena for mezzo-soprano, cor anglais and strings in which Susan Bickley's inward interpretation interweaved to eloquent effect with Nicholas Daniel's no less articulate line while the string harmonies churned and changed beneath.īrian Ferneyhough's substantial 1967 wind sextet Prometheus proved compelling, but it was in the astonishing pianism of Nicolas Hodges and his two vehicles that the concert achieved real memorability. Scaled with imaginative variety at all levels, this was a realisation that took in every shade of the work's emotional and sonic scale.Įarlier at Cadogan Hall, the Proms Saturday Matinee, featuring the Britten Sinfonia under Clark Rundell, focused on music by four contemporary British composers. Though its biggest moments are undeniably gargantuan, much of the Requiem is intimately voiced, and it was in their refined expression that Fischer and his forces impressed, as well as in their bold attack upon the passages of apocalyptic grandeur. The unanimity of colouring from the choirs was as remarkable as their neatness of ensemble. Simply marshalling such an assembly is a major achievement in itself, and one that Fischer controlled impeccably. In this performance under Thierry Fischer, the row of 10 timpanists lined up behind an expanded BBC National Orchestra of Wales – at whose four corners additional brass ensembles were positioned – stood in front of choral forces comprising the orchestra's attendant chorus, plus those of the London Symphony as well as the Huddersfield Choral Society, not to mention tenor soloist Toby Spence. Berlioz's Requiem offers a mighty visual spectacle as well as an aural one.
