I took the kids to see Wicked today and we all really enjoyed it. I'm glad I knew going in that it was just Part 1, and my expectations were fairly low, but it was a good time. I love a lot of those songs and thought they worked well on-screen. I *think* I liked the choreography, but so many of those scenes, especially the big crowd ones, were shot so frenetically that it was hard to actually see what anyone was doing for more than a second or two. Oh, and Cynthia Erivo is fantastic.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

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.

Okay, I admit I was like another fucking Superman movie? I am so tired of endless reboots, but then there was Krypto, and I forgot this was going to have Krypto, so I'll allow it. And wow, there are some interesting choices on the cast list.

I do love Nicholas Hoult, so I am here for his Lex Luthor. And I feel like Nathan Fillion is going to be the perfect Guy Gardner. I don't know anything about David Corenswet, but he looks like he'll be a good Clark Kent. And I noticed on IMDB that Alan Tudyk is in the cast, but it doesn't list his role, so I'm intrigued.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Nathan Fillion looks like comic book Guy Gardener brought to life, it's ridiculous (though that terrible, canon, hairdo is doing a lot of heavy lifting.)
ETA: I do wish the trailer had a brighter tone, overall. I want Superman to fill me with hope, damn it.

The only thing they should keep from the Shazam movies (fuck you, Zachary Levi) is Aldis Hodge as Hawkman.

I am so disappointed that Zachary Levi turned out to be a tool.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yeah, that's a real bummer
