I thought the book was impressively not dated, considering.
I meant to answer this earlier. I just meant stuff like the "generation gap" and the passiveness of the women Bobby dates made it feel very much of its era to me. I still love it.
Willow ,'Get It Done'
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.

I thought Martha Plimpton was great, but Katie Finneran was probably my favorite. People in the theater went BONKERS for LuPone.
Seeing Company and Beginners back-to-back should make for a pretty reflective weekend for this late-30s single lady, I tell you what.
How was Colbert?
Colbert was...not as good as I would have wished. He did something funky with his voice during his solo. He was funny in the comedy bits with Martha Plimpton, though.
I agree. Liked his acting. His singing was a little, I dunno, thin. Yeah, Finneran was fantastic.
And it wasn't at all awkward that I was there with a married couple!
Rotten Tomatoes on superhero movies:
Thor: 77%
X-Men: First Class: 87%
Green Lantern: 22%
Well, they can't all be gems. Guess I'm definitely seeing Super 8 (83%) tonight instead.
Green Lantern: 22%
ouch
If X-Men is still at my little theatre I'm considering a matinee.
The reviews I've read of Green Lantern have been brutal.
