Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again

8 years ago

Yes Yes Yes.

In theaters in July.

I can not wait. I absolutly loved Mamma Mia. I don't watch tv but when Amiee and I sat down the first time to watch this movie I adored it. We watch it once in awhile and act such a fool by dancing thru the house.

Google the new one...rumor has it that Meryl Streep is dead in the new movie. My heart will be broken if this is true...

Oh and did I forget to say Cher is in the new movie.

Anyone else out there that LOVED Mamma Mia!

I was in London the first time I saw it on stage with a friend. We waited a couple of hours to get ‘return’ tickets and ended up on the third row. Loved it! Have seen the stage version about 4 times and still like it better than the movie.

Watched Mama Mia in the theater, with a friend, and mom father up the theater. We both (mom and I) cried when Meryl sings Slipping through my Fingers. We were still crying on the way out of the theater.

imdb shows Meryl in the cast of the part 2 movie

Went to the musical in Toronto and sat in the same seat as Princess Diana (I was told). I'm a huge ABBA fan, and admit I was so emotional, I cried through most of it. Loved it!

Mid 70's here all next week but the night time temps are deadly! 33 degrees on Sunday night forecasted here in Plumas County. Already some of my plants are complaining. This afternoon I intend to start yanking annuals in anticipation of what will probably be major cold damage in the garden starting over the weekend. The chimney sweep is coming Monday night to get the woodstove ready for winter.., Kate

There is a TNR group here but they are irritating and difficult to work with. Their volunteers or whatever are very condescending and self righteous and i prefer not to speak to them,let alone work with them or ask for any assistance. So I just take them to my vet to have them fixed when I can catch them. Then I release them. They can hang out around my property or move on if they want,their choice. I do think they are feral because they are very skittish and fearful. They wouldn't let me near them even though they saw me put food out for them so they are clearly not used to people.

Livid/Covid Round 2. Here we go again.
Q

Airborne viruses mutate at an astounding rate, so it is unrealistic to expect a vaccine to work 100% However, look at it this way, covid only had an initial .4% rate of spread, which is four times that of the flu, (that's around .1% and even then many folks die from that, which makes any little bit the flu vaccine can do to help something on the plus side). Look how many people died around the world with even 4 tenths of a percent rate of infection. So if they vaccine is even 60% effective, it is preventing thousands of people from getting sick. This is statistical math, which I guess most people aren't familiar with, they want 100% fool proof math, which is not how natural systems work, they are so varied and complex. Lots of people owe their existence to birth control that was 99% effective . . . small percentage multiplied over large, large numbers over time, time, time still has considerable effect. It's complex and variable math, which is why it seems awfully sophomoric to me to criticize "experts" who can't give you immediate, fool proof advice all the time no matter what. You don't even want to listen to the long set of "maybe" or "ifs" that they would couch there advice in, it's called confusing. Or who knows, I know it gets your post erased on here. But we have to make decisions like this on a whole host of important issues every day. I think the only reason I have avoided Covid is I have not returned to work, which like GS, was teaching which would expose me to considerable risk every day, no matter what. I used to get the flu every year too when I was teaching. Have enjoyed not having that to deal with, even though I miss teaching a lot. The other thing I have avoided is airline, bus or train travel . . . sigh. Edited to add that covid is one reason many teachers are deciding to retire early, they are getting on in years and just don't want the constant health challenges. And of course fewer and fewer young people are choosing teaching or nursing as career paths . . .

I saw it on Broadway and also saw the movie. I am a huge ABBA fan so I'll be anxious to see it. Love the scenery in the movie.

I agree with Janie, I was very disappointed with the movie. I found it dull and flat compared to the energy and fun of a first rate live production. At each live performance I've been to, the audience has gotten very animated and into the song and silliness. I too saw it on Broadway, also in London and also the national touring company when they were in SF.

Loved the movie, actually bought it on DVD. Went to see the musical twice, once with friends in Lexington and a few months later, took my daughter to see it in Nashville.

Another huge ABBA fan here. Saw the live production 3 times. Have watched the DVD a number of times. Have a lot of ABBA music on my car hard drive. Have a concert DVD which is awesome. Love, love, love ABBA. YAY.... a new movie.

Ed to add that Meryl Streep is listed as a cast member at IMDb

Mamapinky, I meant to ask if you and Aimee will be jumping on the bed to the songs and using the hairdryer as a microphone while watching the movie! That scene always cracks me up.

Funny story. I was NEVER an ABBA fan...but back in 2000 we were traveling to London and everyone said we had to get tickets to MAMMA MIA.

I had no idea what it was about but just heard it was a musical....so we went.

As an aside I do find that when I have no expectations or idea of what something is about I usually really enjoy it. We both were just amazed how great it was.

Even bought the CD right in the theatre in London which is something I have never done before!

I became an ABBA fan (and by the way there was a great PBS thing on ABBA which totally converted me).

also went to see it on Broadway and enjoyed it (but the first time in London was really to die for).

I somehow have not yet seen the movie, although I have heard lots of differing opinions on that . .....
