I'm seeing Company this Sunday, too. Yay!

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So far, I think X Men First Class is handily the most winneriffic of the comic book movies, and I'm not even sure Captain America can give them a run for it. However, I'm not sure if the box office will bear that out. It did do less well than the speculators thought it would, although better than the studio projected.
I wonder if there's gay in Cap, or we have to wait until The Avengers for him to get subtexty with Iron Man...
Despite the panning of GL, I will be going to see it this evening. I'm already wearing the appropriate logo T-shirt.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
And the parodies begin.
Man, I hope that movie is good.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Found a theatre relatively near me that is showing Company twice on Sunday, including an evening showing at 7:30 (everywhere else has it only at noon/early afternoon, which is when I'll be at my dad's and unable to see it, due to Dad not liking musicals at all). Got my ticket, just have to tell Dad I'll be leaving his place by 5:45.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
if anyone finds a particularly entertaining negative review of GL, can you link to it? I would love to do a dramatic reading at home of it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Green, we’re told at some point in “Green Lantern,’’ is the color of will. Based on the movie surrounding that line, it’s also the color of won’t. Won’t make sense. Won’t satisfy a soul. Possibly won’t make a dime. Green also happens to be the color associated with toxicity. It’s the color of weeds, certain scatological mishaps, antifreeze, and slime. Green is the color of the soup Linda Blair blasts in “The Exorcist.’’ If you were a club kid, it’s also the color of late nights and very early mornings in the 1990s. This is the green of “Green Lantern’’ — the neon green of glow-stick goo.
