The Simple Beauty Of The Fall Theatre Season

We have made a date with friends to see the travelling tour of Wicked in September. Don't judge me, I like some musicals. Andrew Lloyd Weber should be boiled in Budweiser (which might be the only time in it's corporate life that Budweiser has been a public good. I digress.) I prefer things be weird or clever. I've heard the book Wicked is great, the play is good, and they bear no actual relationship to one another. I'm happy to see the play, and the book is on my ever increasing list. None of this addresses my central point.

Whilst shopping tickets at my employer, I noted another entry on the fall season.


Now, Imma not overreact.

The movie was okay, nothing special, I've never found Demi Moore to be especially attractive or a particularly good actress, Whoopi Goldberg was funny in it, Patrick Swayze was a good actor with lousy taste in screenplays:
Red Dawn
The Dumbass Thing With Keanu Reeves
Roadhouse (which did serve one public good)

I've thought about it - Imma overreact.

ARE YOU JOKING FUCKING ME!?!?!

We've been down this path - 
  • The Musical of the Play of the Musical of the Movie of the Play of the Cookbook Hairspray
  • 12 Angry Men: An Odyssey In Mime
  • The Human Centipede with Kristin Chenoweth
Ghost the Goddammit Musical. The libretto, when the falling window ruins that one dude's day? I suspect written by Taylor Swift. Vincent Schiavelli played by Zac Efron. 

Seriously, eat a bag of salted male genitalia, fucking soulless vultures. GAHHH!!!
