Conversations with No One.

OK.
Friday night I went to one of the countless bootleg DVD stores in China. Along with getting the entire seven years of The Golden Girls, I picked a movie called Conversations with God.
I thought it would be like Eat Love and Pray minus Julia Roberts.
Uh, wrong.
Instead, it was one of the worse movies I ever sat through, even on a “I’m in China and desperate to watch anything in English” standards.
The move starred Henry Czerny the voice behind the line “Your mission, should you choose to accept it…” in Mission Impossible.
Henry should have stuck to voice-overs.
Anyway, the movie really sucked the big wazoo, “Why? There were no conversations with the Big Guy Upstairs. Instead, there were serious gaps in the audio track. You’d listen to needle drop music while watching long landscape shots reminiscent of inspirational posters seen at a Hallmark store.
I think the conversations were edited out of the Chinese Version of this movie, transforming this flick into Conversations with No One.
As for the entire seven-years of The Golden Girls?
We highly recommend not watching more than 14 episodes in one sitting.
Or, just watching Kunming’s own live version in Green Park.
