Quote of the Day: On keeping it fresh...

"Filming is quite exciting because every day is different, but it can involve long hours standing around in chilly locations. Theatre is a very different challenge because every night you're striving to keep it fresh, even though you might have been performing the same play for months."
-- Samantha Bond (via BrainyQuote)

What we're watching: Baz Luhrmann's first feature film and part one of the director's "Red Curtain Trilogy" - 1992's STRICTLY BALLROOM! The film was nominated for a Golden Globe and won three BAFTAs, as well as eight AFI Awards. It's now dancing to its own, revamped beat onstage in Luhrmann's native Sydney.
