Do they pay Anthony Burgess for the rights to their band name?

Growing up, we had a game called “fight the tide” where we would build sand castles in the intertidal zone with a stick in the peak of the castle. Last stick standing wins a chocolate bar.

Ebb is the state of the tide going out, Flow is coming in.

Intertidal is an interesting thought, but isn’t it already taken by the area that is covered by high tide and exposed at low.

I was wondering about the point where it is halfway between high and low, whether it is ebbing or flowing. Slack is more the high or low point where it switches from ebbing to flowing.

Isn’t that more like Slack-tide when a high or low tide turns and becomes still (Stau like traffic?)

Median-Tide?

Never liked the way half-tide sounded, I think I’m liking Mean-Tide, or Median-Tide if I’m feeling fancy.

Mean Tide?

I think you’re right about slack and stand, and ebb and flood would work but it’s usually just a glimpse when I drive over a bridge that makes me think about it, so I don’t know which way it’s going.

I grew up on the coast, so I never really thought about tides just that that was the way it was. Then I married someone from a landlocked country and every time we drive over the bridge over the cove near our house I comment when the tide is high or low since they are used to lakes, and I’m never quite sure what to say when it’s in the middle.

As good a selection as any

Meddle, Pink Floyd

I enjoy it too, well acted, cleverly filmed, but they did change the ending which seems a bit presumptuous.

I liked “O”(2001) more than most High School dramas.

How would you rate Romeo+Juliet(1996), production, rip off, or homage?

I’m kinda shocked how many of these are on YouTube, never even occurred to me to check.

Thanks

Sounds good, I’m in.

My favorite Shakespeare is Othello and there are some good ones, the Lawrence Fishburn from the 90s is decent, and there is an Olivier floating around that is excellent. But, try the Zeffirelli version of Verdi’s opera Otello for my all time favorite Iago.

Titus (1999), Julie Taymore directs, Anthony Hopkins and Jessica Lange, DEFINITELY NOT A COMEDY https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120866/?ref_=ext_shr

Macbeth (1971). No matter how you feel about Polanski as an (alledged) human, it’s quite a film https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067372/?ref_=ext_shr. There is also a Michael Fassbinder Marrion Cottiard from 2015 that I havent seen, but am curious about.

Kenneth Branaugh did a bunch of Shakespeare in the 90’s which were mostly pretty good.

If anyone can suggest a good film version of The Tempest I’d love to know about it.

Please don’t bury me down in the cold cold ground

In all seriousness I’d rather they cut me up and pass me all around.

This is correct.

I would add James McMurtry "Ruby and Carlos" , "lights of Cheyenne "or "Hurricane Party"
