I have a five-minute rant about it.

I haven't done that in the past 5 years either.

I have done a ton of singing, watching opera, soccer, hockey, and sometimes baseball

Definitely not the case. It takes me 2 hours to drive to the MET, then there is the opera, then the 2 hour drive back home.

The other sports are similar; both are in the city.

Just saw both "Iolanta" and "Bluebeard's Castle" last Saturday.
Then saw the Islanders last Sunday.

Oh, well. Can't blame a guy for missing a fishing trip because he went to the opera. Who doesn't love The Rabbit of Seville!?

Carry on.

Not to mention "What's Opera, Doc?"

Oddly enough, there was a Batman/ Elmer Fudd comic recently. Even more weirdly, it's actually really good. It's almost impossible to get people to read it, and those that do, find it almost impossible to get other people to read it.

I bought the Batman/TMNT crossover, well, part one of it. Dull beyond belief.

My version is the Hunger Games. But I liked the books more than the movies. Because when you read, you mentally imagine what you are reading about. And your interpretation does not always coincide with the way directors see it.

I agree in general. In my case, I actually didn't read the books until after I saw the movies so my imagination was warped a bit. But after awhile I was able to push the images of the characters from the films out of my head. When I did that, I imagined Peeta looking and acting very differently than how Josh Hutcherson portrayed him.

Actually, I sort-of take that back. The character of Caesar Flickerman I was never able to supplant with how he was portrayed in the film, but I think that might have been because Stanley Tucci portrayed him so accurately.

Sort of like reading these posts from posters here in these threads. You imagine what kind of lives they have, dress, talk, act and carry their day to day lives. You just know one or two of these posters drive around looking for hitchhikers/prostitutes with duct tape and ether.

Well that's an insight into BS's imagination I could have done without.
