Perhaps the saddest aspect of the whole dismal episode is the critics' enthusiastic response to our "ground-breaking innovative direction" and the rave reviews in the paper the next day.
The bottle is then riddled, so that the lees settles in the neck of the wine bottle... Manual riddling is still done for Prestige Cuvées in Champagne... mechanised riddling equipment (a gyropalette) is used instead. (Wikipedia)

Giant Floating Heads: Update
I can cope with the giant floating heads and the expectant crowds, but really this is a bit on the nose. If you want to resort to levitating cannon-fire to drive the heads away, that's fine, but please don't do it during the Riddled production of Hamlet, right in the middle of the grave-digger scene. It has divided the attention of the audience. The disruption was all too much for Another Kiwi who had been rehearsing enthusiastically for the role of 2nd Drunken Gravedigger and as you see he has collapsed. FROM THE SHOCK.

Looks more like a storyboard from I Sell The Dead.
ReplyDeletethat crowd is one pitchfork away from a mob
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure those are some kind of heavily reinforced pre-vatican condoms and not actually cannons at all.
ReplyDeleteAnd why the wind keeps blowing on them is unclear. Wouldn't that dry out the lubricant?
Early windsocks. Not entirely clear on the concept at that point.
ReplyDeleteCritics. Always getting it wrong.
ReplyDeleteFor example, I (naturally, Americo-chauvinist that I am) assumed that the Macy's Consumption Parade & its giant floating heads would be under discussion. But no.
"ground-breaking innovative direction"
ReplyDeleteTruth be told I had never noticed "behind you" before and now I understand that the debt collectors find me by simply following the trail of empties.
Looks to me like A.K. is into his cups.

By any chance is "The Shock" a brand-name for a caffeinated HFCS flavored malt-liquor?
