With Christian Bale in the mix, any homoeroticism will more likely be filled with angst than camp. Which is just fine with me.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I think if I don't get to see this cast perform this show, I might wind up considering my life completely wasted.
I Googled Spamalot reviews, and they seem pretty unanimously and enthusiastically positive. I think I feel the same way Sean does on this, but I may have a good ticket source (not that they'd be cheap).

I will settle for a DVD of the stage production with this cast, but otherwise I think I'll spend the rest of my life in a Sir Bedevere costume, staring wistfully out a window in the direction of Broadway, like some twisted, Pythonesque Mrs. Havisham.
(With all love and respect to our own Mrs. H, of course)

God is played by John Cleese, or at least voiced by him.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Of course, a non-white WW still wouldn't lead to Gina Torres getting the part.
Nope. If they went that way, it would probably be Oscar Winning Actress® Halle Berry, because she's the only one who could bring the proper empowerment to the part. t /sarcasm

Get me footage of this, and I'll sneak a video camera into the theatre for you.

Plus, she kicks such ass in comic book roles.

I suppose if Gina is pushing the age barrier too, than Angela Bassett is well out of the question. Plus, I don't thinks she's played an ass-kicker since STRANGE DAYS.

If Gina is Wonder Woman, Angela Bassett could be Queen Hippolyta.
