Is it really necessary? The movie's been out for over a month and I know I've discussed plot points from the play in another thread ages ago.
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It seems kind of HSQ-ish to me, not having seen either the play or the movie.

About Closer's ending-changing, I felt like the ending the movie has suggests her death without showing it. She steps off the curb against the light (the walk signal next to her shows "don't walk"), and she doesn't look for traffic. How is it presented in the play?
Also -- I don't think anyone was happy at the end of the movie. Anna and Larry are *less* unhappy than Dan, but I think everybody's pretty miserable.
Also, are we supposed to think Alice slept with Larry, or that they were both lying about it to piss off Dan? I kind of like reading it the second way.

I think Alice was getting too much of a charge from titillating Larry to actually sleep with him and dispel that mystique .

More Supes movie casting news. James Marsden and Hugh Laurie are in negotiations to play Richard and Perry White -- who might be related.

Who's Richard White?
Now I want to hear Hugh Laurie say "Great Cesaer's Ghost!"

Apparently, Richard White is Lois Lane's Love interest.

Wholly original character then? I'm not recaling anyone by that name in the comics.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Don't you remember all those issues of Lois Lane's Boyfriend, Superman, where he competes for Lois Lane's attention with Richard White?
