Baz Luhrmann

[avram]

I’ve been seeing ads on TV for Baz Luhrmann’s new Broadway production of La Boheme, which will probably have audiences full of teeny boppers complaining that it rips off Rent. I’ve yet to see any of Luhrmann’s movies, but I think I’m going to have to make time for them. Not just because both Kevin and mamishka have said interesting things about them, but also because I just love how the announcer guy in the commercial says his name. Ba-a-ahz Lu-u-u-u-hrrmann. He’s practically purring. I wish I had a name like that. My name gets points for unusualosity (which is why I’ve got a taller-than-typical glass of Google juice), but it just don’t got that sexy purr.
