In the late 1980s, there was talk of having computer-generated screenplays, but I don't believe it was ever used. In the 1990s, people at MIT were actively working on this and had some success with good results. In the 2000s, there were rumors that some aspects of this were being used in scripting process, but it was being kept on the down low, but again, was mostly a rumor. Which brings me to today. I was watching Star Trek: Prodigy last night, when it occurred to me, it would be great if I could toggle a setting for maturity mode, and turn off the default "kid-friendly" writing and voices, and turn on a "mature audiences" mode, allowing me to watch the same show, but as Star Trek for adults. And if you think about this, it makes perfect sense, since none of the characters depicted on the show are limited by age or age-related situations. Is this kind of thing doable, where one show is made, but can be viewed in different ways like a video game? Has it already been done in film and television? I'm not referring to interactive film (which is pretty bad and still needs work), but rather the ability to change various elements of the specific work. This is also something I would like to see when it comes to recorded live shows like concerts and performances by comedians and musicians. I would like to be able to change the viewing angles, such that I can toggle through different vantage points (such as watching a comedian or musician perform from the stage, orchestra, audience, loge, box seat, etc.) Is anyone working on this?

Calling all Perfect Wagnerites. Full confession: I'm currently singing in the chorus of a professional production of Die GötterdĂ€mmerung. Anyway, I was listening to Glazunov's orchestral fantasy/symphonic poem The Sea ( Russian: Mope), Op. 28, which he wrote in 1889 aged around 24. I was struck by some fairly obvious musical references ( WP:OR?) to Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen. My question is: when was The Ring first performed in Russia? I haven't come across any obvious answer. I can read Russian. Details of theatre, soloists, conductor etc. would be welcome. Russian Wikipedia seems not to be forthcoming. The first complete performance of The Ring cycle took place in August 1876 in the Bayreuth Festspielhaus. Glazunov may have already seen the orchestral scores before any performances had taken place in Russia: the full score of Die WalkĂŒre had been published in 1874, and those of Siegfried and GötterdĂ€mmerung in 1876. [1]. Any further info on Wagner's influence on Glazunov would be welcome. MinorProphet ( talk) 00:50, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
When only 19, he was taken on a trip to Western Europe and Africa. On the way back to St. Petersburg, Glazunov met Liszt in Weimar and heard a performance of Parsifal at Bayreuth." [2] But, "
Continuing their pilgrimage the two Russian friends visited Spain, Africa and finally Bayreuth, where they heard "Parsifal". Wagner's influence upon Glazounov does not date, however, from this time, but from Neumann's performances of the "Ring" at Petrograd in 1889." [3] Â -- Lambiam 17:33, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
Ăber Genf gelangten wir nach Bayreuth, wo ich zum erstenmal den Parsifal hörte. Noch in RuĂland hatte ich in frĂŒhem Alter TannhĂ€user und Lohengrin gehört, von denen ich begeistert war. Die Musik des Parsifal kam mir dagegen seltsam vor, der zweite Aufzug geradezu unangenehm. Ich kannte nur die Einleitung zum Parsifal, welche mich in Bayreuth zu Anfang ĂŒberraschte durch den Reiz einer ĂŒberirdischen KlangfĂŒlle. WĂ€hrend des ganzen folgenden ersten Aktes langweilte ich mich, sehnte mich fort wie aus einem GefĂ€ngnis und war glĂŒcklich, als ich wĂ€hrend der Pause an die frische Luft entrinnen konnte, ja ich freute mich sogar, als ich einen Leierkasten hörte.[4]
Der zweite Akt, mit Ausnahme einiger Episoden (dem Chor der schönen Jungfrauen Klingsors), marterte mich mit seinen scharfen Dissonanzen und rief in der Nacht sogar AlbdrĂŒcke hervor. Im dritten Akt, ungeachtet meiner MĂŒdigkeit, hatte ich groĂe Freude an der Musik. Im allgemeinen behielt ich â wegen des Unvorbereitetseins auf den letzten Umbruch Wagners â einen schweren und unangenehmen Eindruck. Ich glaubte damals noch nicht an das Genie Wagners. Das geschah erst spĂ€ter â 1889 â, als ich mich auf Wagner vorbereitete, indem ich zusammen mit Rimskij-Korsakow die Proben zum Ring des Nibelungen besuchte. Zur gleichen Zeit wie bei mir vollzog sich auch bei ihm ein Umschwung in seiner Einstellung zugunsten Wagners.
Sport in Fiji addresses this question, but very briefly (the third sentence of the introduction) and without citation.
During a recent conversation with an Indian man from Fiji, I learnt that cricket has a non-trivial following in the country. Is the sport dominated by Indians, or does it have a significant following among Polynesians, too? I was strongly tempted to ask him, but being aware of the country's recent political history, I figured it was safest to say nothing. Nyttend ( talk) 11:49, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

In this song, "dogies" means motherless calves. But many people make the mistake of thinking it means puppy dogs. Is this mistake really common?? Georgia guy ( talk) 14:29, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
As is well-known, three musicians performing at Woodstock died one year after the event, and some three years later another, all at a specific age. It would be interesting to compare them to all deaths of Woodstock performers, but it is not easy to get a list - is there one? Did even any other musicians die in timely years after the event (or even faster)? -- KnightMove ( talk) 13:08, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
Update: Checking further, I have found this page answering my question mostly, with a few gaps. -- KnightMove ( talk) 15:40, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
why people are not talking to be better than any other hand right now Look at the end of the year!!!!! 41.122.85.118 ( talk) 18:32, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
