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.
I'm just waiting to see if I pass out. Long story.

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.

"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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

BTW, the comments on the boston.com review are hilarious. The Bay of pigs/Cuban Missile Crisis back and forth amused me.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'm ready for chapter two of The Tragic Love Story of Erik and Charles now. I'll have to settle for watching chapter one again, won't I?
One thing confuses me. If Erik grew up in Germany and Michael grew up in Ireland, why does Magneto sound kinda Welsh?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I heard Irish, not Welsh.

Oh I'm such a dork. I was thinking he sounded like Dylan Moran and for some reason I thought Moran was Welsh. Oops.
