I love The Fifth Element. The thing is, there's a ton of stuff in it that would irritate the hell out of me normally, but taken together it all works.

I could still do without most of the Ruby Rod stuff (and the War/Love bit is cheesy), but other than that, it's incredibly entertaining to me. It's so stupid, but I always laugh at the bit with the "Gimme the cash! Gimme the cash!" mugger.

"Nice hat."

"You like it?" *does incredibly wierd little dance for no good reason*

My grandma hates Evita because she refused to get treatment early.

I find it incredibly funny for about 3/4ths of the movie, which is nothing short of a miracle.

Does it count as a message if it's completely glossed over?

This is why Aimee rightly tells me to shut it every time I bring this up, but I just really can't get past who the Perons were. It's a thing for me. Even if it's not there in the musical, I still read it as an undercurrent, and am boggled that ALW could write a musical on who these people were.

So it's not an overt message, like the wonky one in Grease.

I know. I'm posting via ouija board.

Hee!

Then Sean, if you haven't already, you really don't want to see Birth of a Nation.

Unless you need a new TV anyway.

Because it'll make you put your foot through the screen.

Jessica - does Joe still like me??

Can we re-name the Phoenix to the Ouija board?

Is Joe dead to you? 'Cause I can really only channel other dead people here.
