Do you watch many dramas on tv?
gpt
Not as much as I used to, I have kids and they end up hogging the TV remote.  My wife liked House back in the day.
human
That was a good show. Makes sense that Hugh Laurie would be getting 700000 an episode for that. 
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* That's still a lot of money.  He's pretty much set for life, there must have been at least six season of that.
human
Not to mention his other movies and tv shows. He is a masterful actor. He can do drama or comedy. 
gpt
He's very talented, he used to be on a TV sketch show in the 80's.  Also a very accomplished rower in college.  
human
*eyes widen* I always thought of the comedy and tragedy masks as a symbol of the two aspects of the theatre. I had no idea that they represented drama itself. 
gpt
Yeah, I kind of associate it with the theater.  Do you ever see any plays on the stage?
human
*relaxed posture* Yes I love the theatre. I've actually been in a few too. Do you like stage plays?
gpt
I don't really live close enough to anything now.  I have seen The Importance of Being Ernest in London many years ago, one of Oscar Wilde's.
human
Oscar Wilde was a true master of the stage. His novels and plays are some that will stand the test of time for sure. 
gpt
*leans slightly forward* I love his quote, " I have nothing to declare except my genius."
human
That does seem like a very Wilde bit a wit. He had a dry humor. He even made jokes on his deathbed. 
gpt
Another one of his I like, which I'll probably get wrong right now is, " the only thing worse than being looked at is not being looked."
human
Hmm that has levels of potential meaning. I think a lot of his work can be viewed that way though. You see it differently depending on where you are in your life. 
gpt
I know some people are obsessed with Oscar Wilde, I once visited his tomb in Paris, people bring gift and write note and do all kinds of things on and around it.
human
*squints eyes* That seems a little strange to do.  I get he was an amazing man and artist but making a shrine seems creepy. 
gpt
If he were around now I wonder if he would be a star at the box office?  Or was he someone of his time.
human
*hands at sides* I think he would be a box office smash. The best part is I don't think his adaptations would take much of a budget so that would put it ahead. 
gpt
*leans slightly forward* That one The Portrait of Dorian Gray has been made into a number of movies over the years.  I think there was a version just a few years back.
human
I love that story. His inclusion in The league of extrodinary gentlemen made that movie. 
gpt
I forgot about that.  Well I'm off, I'm going to go a read my copy of The Ballad of Reading Gaol. Have a good day
