Dance Hall Days, by the way, is the most tolerable of their works..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700197548299305500.post-89762156029237948982011-09-18T09:54:09.149+05:302011-09-18T09:54:09.149+05:30Yes Anon, I see some of the comments on the Beegee...Yes Anon, I see some of the comments on the Beegees numbers on youtube - was watching the 'Words' performance and saw all the gentle ribbing that the Beegees got in the comments. <br />Dreamland consistently played shady movies for as long as I can remember but it had lot of space and really looked interesting. Never saw a movie there though. Apparently it had its better days in the late sixties when its popularity probably was higher than the other theatres. <br />There is a cheap Chinese joint, still is, just outside what used to be Sangeet that served a plate of Fried rice and plenty of sauce for 10 bucks. For students on tight budgets in the mid 80s, it was wonderful. Is this Wang Chung? Come to think of it, wasn't Wang Chung a group from the 80s as well with one big hit to its name 'Everybody have fun tonight'?Harimohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17080410333580185917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700197548299305500.post-15866665624905112802011-09-18T01:11:53.977+05:302011-09-18T01:11:53.977+05:30The Beatles are revered, Beegees derided, Stones c...The Beatles are revered, Beegees derided, Stones celebrated...<br /><br />Tivoli and a theatre named Dreamland were within reach of M'palli.

It's still there, small and compact as ever, and revamped. Tivoli, for some time had become some transport company's godown and then came back in its new avatar with two screes and plays good movies - not as many English movies as it used to though. It is interesting to hear that the ABBA is not much liked in the US - somehow I figured that might be the case though I know not why. How about the Beatles? Are they reviled too.Harimohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17080410333580185917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700197548299305500.post-40868823617816595782011-09-16T05:31:50.446+05:302011-09-16T05:31:50.446+05:30The journo in the movie is some generic Aussie, no...The journo in the movie is some generic Aussie, not Peter Fonda. <br /><br />Saw ABBA THE MOVIE in a theatre named Tivoli in Sec'bad. <br /><br />ABBA is (are) reviled in the US for some reason.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700197548299305500.post-74021075152887057322011-09-14T14:27:27.850+05:302011-09-14T14:27:27.850+05:30Gultis also have an affinity for Abba maybe coz of...Gultis also have an affinity for Abba maybe coz of the word being used often as endukabba, etc...that's an attempted PJ!Rajendrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08111857915483185905noreply@blogger.com
