Apparently, I'm talky lately

[next_to_normal]

So, I seem to have managed to post every day for 35 days straight, which is something I don't think I've done since the very start of this journal, when I was busy transferring my completed fic to LJ. I'd say it's thanks to the 30 Day meme, but I actually managed to make two or three posts on most days, so it's not just that. Anyway, let's see how long the streak can last...

Taking a break from the all Dexter, all the time that I've been doing lately, I watched a few movies. I tried Southland Tales, because I'll watch pretty much anything with SMG, but I definitely felt like I missed something... like, the point? I ended up turning it off after an hour and switching to Company, which is a Stephen Sondheim musical. It's surprising, because Into the Woods is my favorite musical ever, but I really haven't seen many Sondheim shows, so I'm attempting to fix that. This one was okay, but not going on the favorites list or anything. (Also, I realize I forgot to do a Musical Sunday post last week. I'll be back this week, I promise.)

I also watched a movie called Women in Trouble, because it starred Connie Britton and Adrianne Palicki and Sarah Clarke. I thought it was cool to find a movie whose cast is 90% women, especially with someone as awesome as Connie Britton, right? I should've known better. Lots of female characters does not a feminist movie make. Aside from the fact that pretty much every character is reduced to her sexual drives, it's kind of lacking direction and painfully cliche-laden at times. Bah. I think this review says it all.

Also, because Zachary Levi singing is the awesomest thing ever:

I did the same thing as you with Southland Tales. I'm all, oh good, SMG! But then I was sad because it was terrible.
but anyway. Yes! You should see all the Sondheim shows you possibly can. I just saw (as in, like two hours ago) the Sondheim review on broadway called Sondheim on Sondheim and it has videos of him and Vanessa Williams and Barbara Cook and it made me very happy. not that that's incredibly relevant but I'm just trying to share in your unironical musical love. =) last night we saw A Little Night Music with Angela Lansbury and Catherine Zeta-Jones which was also totally fantastic. so I guess it was just a whole trip full of Sondheim. hee

I have A Little Night Music and Sunday in the Park with George in my queue.

I've seen Gypsy, West Wide Story (they both count even if he only did the lyrics, right?), Sweeney Todd, and Pacific Overtures. And Into the Woods, of course, so I guess I have seen a fair amount, lol. I want to see Assassins but it's not available on Netflix.

I went all the way to the end with Southland Tales. There was a few of us watching it and no one got up to push stop... *wants those 2 hours back*

Yes, there is nothing better than your TV boyfriend singing!!

I'm rather glad I just quit. I used to not be able to do that - I'd watch till the end no matter how bad it was, but now I'm learning to just let it go. :)

I tried to watch Southland Tales, but couldn't make it through.
