Hee hee hee... just checked out the results on this- 6 people claim "nothing impresses them".

Who are these people? Critics? Has Ron Banks infiltrated this site??

I think it would be nteresting now to see WHY nothing impresses these folk. What are their standards, what do they go to see, etc.

NOTE WELL: This is NOT to become a witchhunt- sorry to be a killjoy, guys... but I'm just intrigued about these votes.

Anyone seen attempting to turn this into the aforementioned witchhunt will have a terminal illness personally gift-wrapped from me delivered to their door. No exceptions.

na noted:

> I was one of the people who voted 'nothing impresses me' only because there was no 'rarely impressed.' I am notably a very tough theatre-goer, but I must say that there have been shows which I placed on my top-ten list. Most shows don't impress me not because I don't like anything, but because I nit-pick and get very bored watching performances (unless they're either very good, or I can't work out how they do something). This is mainly because I would rather be working on a show than watching one.

And further:

>So I really chose 'nothing impresses me' because 'I see much room for improvement' didn't really sum up the way I feel at most shows I see. But some things do impress me - just not a lot of them.

And fair enough too! Entirely justified, and well-explained.
