cleolinda who, despite getting a kick out of the PTO film, trashes it with her usual style and wit. Go check out her new icons, and some of the quotes she put up after just seeing it kicked my ass:
I love how the Phantom is such a genius that his own opera is... kind of crappy.
I love the Dread Pirate Roberts Corps de Ballet in "Point of No Return."
Seriously, though? I hate the "Masquerade" choreography. It's like... fifteen guys voguing and everyone else in miltary formation. The fuck?
I consider the last a bit of a shoutout even though I know it's not :)
Now go read her 15 Minute Movie Recap, before I spoil it entirely. Aw, hell, just a few quotes:
THE PHANTOM: Let’s see… Managers: idiots… Carlotta: stupid cow… Who are you? I don’t even know your name.
SOME OPERA SINGER GUY: P-P-P-Piangi, sir.
THE PHANTOM [poking with sword]: Oh, that’s right. Well, you’re a tubby bitch.
[...]
VOICE FROM THE DAAÉ TOMB: Christine! Come to me!
CHRISTINE: Daddy? Is that you?
VOICE FROM THE DAAÉ TOMB: …Sure, if that’s your kink.
[...]
CHRISTINE: Raoul, please don’t make me do this. He’s probably just going to kidnap me again and besides, your plan really sucks.
RAOUL: IT DOES NOT!
CHRISTINE: And if he kidnaps me again, I’m going to be stuck down there forever… getting sexed up until the end of time, or until one of us dies from the massive amounts of constant, 24-7, day-and-night sexing.
RAOUL: He’ll probably make you sing, too.
CHRISTINE: So… what time does the show start?
[...]
THE PHANTOM: I sing of seduction and surrender in a completely non-metaphorical way!
CHRISTINE: I kind of dig this.
THE DREAD PIRATE ROBERTS CORPS DE BALLET: *shimmies*
THE PHANTOM: I sing of really unsubtle metaphors about flames and racing blood and opening buds!
CHRISTINE: Ooo, tell me more.
THE DREAD PIRATE ROBERTS DEATH DANCE TROUPE: *bunny hops*
THE PHANTOM: BE MINE FOREVER AND I WILL CONSUME YOU IN A COMPLETELY NON-FIGURATIVE WAY UNTIL THE BREAK OF DAWN!
[Christine deploys her collapsible bodice, leaving her shoulders completely bare.]
RAOUL: *cries*
THE DREAD PIRATE ROBERTS PEP SQUAD: *frugs*
[...]
THE PHANTOM: Wear this ring and be mine FOREVER.
CHRISTINE: Wait, isn’t this Raoul’s ring?
THE PHANTOM: Well… yes.
CHRISTINE: So... who does that engage me to, exactly…?
THE PHANTOM: Well… it engages you to… wait…
Busy but fun weekend, the photo shoot on Saturday seemed to go well and I've seen one of the shots of the entire troupe that looks superb. I can't wait to see the rest, I'm sure they're all just gorgeous. Of course things went long and we ended up grabbing my friend S- late and getting up to SF for Lush goodness even later. And of course it was pouring. :P
Still, picked up a few things (very few, I could pay with cash for the first time in like, forever). Oh, andjakejr, they did have both Snowcake and Cupcake Biofresh and good quantities and I'm afriad the Snowcake wasn't marked down at all, sorry. Went out for excellent Chinese food afterwards then back home to watch "The Cat Returns". We spent most of the time trying to figure out who was going to be cast as whom when Disney releases the American version next month. I checked IMDB afterwards and confirmed that Rene Auberjonois will be playing precisely the character I thought (the king's advisor), go me! I also got Aelf mildly hooked on my current favorite Japanese drama, "Shinsengumi", when she discovered that she knew several of the characters from Kenshin she was intrigued. We spent some time online looking for pictures of the pretty Japanese actors, with limited success.
Sunday was gaming, this week's adventure I've privately dubbed "Goin' to the Chapel", in which one of our intrepid crew was a stand in bride at the wedding from hell. My favorite mental image remains my six foot something Viking character carrying the bride's train and then standing with the bridesmaids as the ceremony got underway and all hell broke loose. With some effort we managed to kill the baddie, save the day, get the book we needed, and get paid for our trouble. Of course, as we were in Vodacce, the money didn't last long at all. We did manage to get bodies for everyone who needed one and put the demon back in the book before we were forced to call it a night, though, so we tied up a number of loose plot ends beautifully. Next I try to figure out a way to get the crew to go back home with Hav to do, uh, something, or I roll up a new character and he goes off and does it on his own. See that's the tough part, with his personality I can only really see him talking to his captain (Morgan) and convincing her to go up with him. I just can't see him wanting anybody else to go so I'm going to have a hard time selling myself on the fact that he needs to sell them on it. Well I've got a little time to think about it anyway before the next gaming session.
