Seven (stylized as SE7EN) is a 1995 American neo-noir[3] psychological crime thriller film directed by David Fincher and written by Andrew Kevin Walker. It stars Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin Spacey, R. Lee Ermey and John C. McGinley. The film tells the story of David Mills (Pitt), a detective who partners with the retiring William Somerset (Freeman) to track down a serial killer who uses the seven deadly sins as a motif in his murders.
So while the rest of you were watching the Giants & the Dodgers, we attended the premiere of SF Opera's new production of Beethoven's Fidelio. It featured fantastic new staging, with a huge rotating prison set in a near modern time. All the principals were excellent, but soprano Elza van den Heever stood out with a clarity of voice that was astounding.
As a work of art, the whole thing was quite impressive, and decidedly a positive, humanistic rejoinder of sorts to oppressive regimes of any time. Being Beethoven, the music is great, and the choral singing enveloping. As an opera... well it lacks drama, and the singers sing their lines about eight times in succession, so movement and action aren't really the point.
Anyway, I'd still recommend it to anyone in the bay at all interested - you will not forget this experience. Had a great pre- performance dinner at Monsieur Benjamin, the Duck Comfit was sublime. Also Go Bears!!!

That is how many games Giants-Dodgers should have been
This is boring. Let me comment and share the moment with other members ;(
Second half thread was closed two weeks ago too, but it eventually opened up. Today it's still closed
Hey, I can't post in the second half thread!
Not sure what the correlation of the image of a calf is at top, but I work in the dairy industry. Calves are curious animals.
