So, I'm watching Forget Me Not, for the twentieth time tonight. It stars Tobias Menzies, he of Outlander fame. I was able to meet Tobias last year, and tell him how much I enjoyed his performance in this movie.
Made in 2010, it tells the story of a musician and the waitress at the bar he plays at. He saves her from a drunken patron one night, and she asks him to escort her to a party in another part of London. It's Once, but better. At least, I think so.
My question is this. The party is Bring Your Own Music. Is this a thing? Hundreds of people crowded into a room listening to their own Ipods? Isn't that depressing, all you hear is the sound of footsteps dancing in place? (In the next scene, a band miraculously appears, by the way.)
Then again, it saves the party host having to arrange for speakers or even a band. People can listen to what they want to hear, not what the DJ chooses. But isn't that the whole point of a party? If you want to listen to your own music, stay home. It's cheaper and less hassle for everyone.
What say you?
