An Idea Is Bulletproof

Nomi and I went to go see the U of T production of Reefer Madness last night and it was SO fun! The show on stage is terrific, and even has some extra numbers which weren't in the movie so that was bonus. The casting was great. Really really great. Nomi was reading over everyone's bio's and for everyone but one cast member this was their first major show, which made me that much more impressed. The only thing that I missed from the cast was them connecting with the audience. For the most part they were all doing that trick of looking about 1 foot over the heads of your audience which works for the most part but it's good to break that up with actually looking at people.

And I actually found that the girl playing Mary Sunshine vocally held up better than Kristin Bell did overall. I liked her "Lonely Pew" better than the movie version. However I far prefer the movie version of Mary Sunshine. I think in the end it's a tie between the movie and seeing the show live.

It's still playing until Sept. 30th so if you can get yourself in to town in time I say go for it! The show is well worth seeing :)

Movies movies movies. Hee firstly on Thursday I introduced Nomi to the entertainment that is Reefer Madness the musical. I really really enjoy that movie, the freaking dvd has all but disappeared from shelves so I'll have to order that one eventually. We noted on our walk for candy for the movie that we live near to the Polish Governor General. There are some amazing houses near to us.

Then last night was Nomi's bday so we went to go see Bon Cop Bad Cop for her :) From the trailer my reaction had been "that movie looks pretty good for a Canadian movie" meaning that a lot of Canadian movies are GREAT but don't have the budget to pull off all that they wanted to do, but this one was really really good. I was super impressed and will be buying the dvd. There was a little bit of everything in there. I was highly entertained the whole while. I was no impressed by the couple who came in late and then had their cell phone ringing (on vibrate mind you but still I could hear it) for parts of the movie. I dunno I'm of the mindset that if you can't make it on time then catch the next show.

And now I've finally got a virusscan program for my computer again so I'm running that and hoping that I haven't downloaded anything too funky in the past little while.
