I don't know who the production company were, but ILM they ain't.

Shows how much I know. Apparently ILM they are.
CGI Peter Cushing and CGI Carrie Fisher were warnings and we didn't use them as an opportunity to take them out before they cracked open the seal and let the demons of CGI ABBA out.

I steugggled to sleep last night,mold knee injury decided to ache, so i quietly 3pit News 24 on the bedroom tv. The Beeb has been running what are effectively adverts for abba all night.

I sent the ABBA video to my mum and she liked it, although said it was crap compared to Dancing Queen. I was too creeped out by dead-eyed CGI ABBA to watch more than a few seconds. I don't know who the production company were, but ILM they ain't.


I knew Hugo Weaving was in this but I don't think I was prepared for the reality of it.

its worth seeing.

So what you're saying is that you can't dance, you can't jive?

(Sorry to hear your injury is flaring up, chronic pain sucks)

The only thing I an say about ABBA is...



I don't believe people who don't like ABBA.

Yep, I think you have to be right. I've never bought an album, deliberately watched them etc. but can't help but enjoy a song when I hear it. They are?/were brilliant.

I'm not sure about the CGI thing, from the little I've seen it looks as though it is CGI. Sounds daft but hope people get what I mean.

A round of applause from me on ticket prices. £21 is very, very fair. I'm sure many millions would pay £50-100 but at £21 it's open to everyone.

I did like the comment from one of the men "The best thing about being in Abba?" "Not having to worry about money." Very refreshing.

 

[Drago]

So not the music, not being a musician, not the camaraderie, but ABBA earning him so much money he doesn't have to worry about it? Fair play for being very honest. I think the only other person that honest was Richard Burton, who would happily claim he only did it for the flash cars and posh restaurants.

I listened to the new song and it brought a tear to my eye. It is like unearthing a book from a favourite author. A book you never knew existed

One more ABBA album will last me to the end of my days

Im not a big ABBA fan. But I do not know another band, where you can sing along to every song

They created music that is timeless. If they created an app, that created perfect songs. Then ABBAS songs would probably come out of it. Agnetha has made some good albums since ABBA split.

Their songs are simple, memorable and they can sing.

This new concept is so ABBA. Simple idea but ambitious Not bad for a band who wrote a lot of their hits in a garden shed

 

[Arrowfoot]

ABBA was unusual. It was not the band or the music you would ever pick but you would stop to listen when it is played. And you would sit quietly as their songs are played. Any other song in the background and the conversations would carry on.

 

[Grant Fondo]

I always thought they had what the beatles had, with a narrower repertoire. Great song writing and terrific arrangements. The girls harmonizing doesn't get much better does it?

 

[MichaelW2]

CGI is no match for the real thing.

Enjoy!

We're on a no booze night here. 🙂

Currently doing my personal challenge of ‘No Beer for a Year’. The wine in my place is all non alcoholic. As is the gin.
I like the taste but not the calories or the hangover. I thought that I would give the challenge a whirl.

I'm in the same boat, all out of booze at chez Fondo. Just made a thai curry too, boo hoo

I love a bit of ABBA, proper feel good music.
Always makes me smile when a track of theirs comes on the radio whilst at work.
