Company won't be playing here, but to be honest I wasn't wowed by the number they did at the Tonys so my drive to go see it pretty much evaporated.
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

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.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Thanks, P-C. We always stay through the end of the credits, so this was quite annoying.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, you know what else about X-Men? I wish the clothes and hair had been more period.
And on Company, I was pretty impressed with the filming of a stage show, although they didn't need to spend quite so much time on close-ups (especially during the kickline!).

Yeah! I hope January Jones laughed in her hairstylist's face. "This is not a sixties hairdo. Do you see how it's moving when the wind blows?!"

And hers was the stiffest.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The US/Soviet naval confrontation bugged me. No way would all those ships be so close together. A battleship could blow away any ship within, say, 25 miles, so if you're the captain of a Soviet guided missile cruiser, you stay more than 25 miles away from a US battleship, where you could still hit it with your missiles.

Yeah, that was goofy.

I thought it was odd that Xavier would use the word "groovy" in 1962 Britain. Wasn't popular usage still a few years away? Or are we supposed to think that he's also on the cutting edge of slang?

"Groovy" was popular among the Beats and in jazz culture - and not necessarily just by leading edge. Bob Hope used the word "Groovy" in several of the "Road to" movies to show how far from cutting edge you could be and use that word. That series ran from 1940 to 1962.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wordnik used to have a chart of usage by year, but I don't see one anymore. I don't like the redesign.
