brighter side of life

i thought that todays interactive forum thingy wasnt very good, in the sense that you more or less knew what would happen. the following are the reasons why i tink so:
1. the script is too predictable. i mean, everyone knows that the mum will keep sayin no until the last one. hence it would have been interesting if the first person had like threatened to jump or smthn. lol.
2. the actress (the mum) was too good. in the sense you know there was no crackin her till she's suppose to be cracked.
3. the people who went up were too passe. i don rmb anythin spectacular, even in henry's one cos he came back and still tried to reason. no offence, but somehow u had to know there was no use reasoning.
4. the range of possible scenarios are too small. in comparison to last year vs arts day one, this one is relatively controlled. its like the only diff was how you argued/reasoned, and not so much what you argued/reasoned. hell.
5. we could only play 1 character. in that the protagonist is the only one where things can be changed. i feel an effective interactive forum should allow mroe than just 1 role difference.i'm not sdaying it wasnt effective, jus that maybe not enough. what this means is that though the actors are diff (lynda), the mum is always the same, hence the arguments become repetitive after awhile.
6. it was more or less the usual people who went up, and this sucks cos you don get to see another side of many people. i mean, i'm pretty sure we all more or less know the styles of these few people, no?

and i actually wouldnt mind seeing more of these kinds of stuff, jus maybe about more "interesting" issues, cos i mean the whole parent-child thing is quite common. and also i would want to see victorians put up their works, albeit on a smaller scale.

how interesting. some shit.
