11/4/03 16:00So I watched Jesus Christ Superstar with
minstrelia,
welvilly, and
scarletbeg0nia last night. I've heard all the songs plenty of times -- the soundtrack was one of my mother's Saturday morning cleaning albums throughout my childhood, along with Bat Out of Hell and Mary Chapin Carpenter -- but I'd never actually seen the whole movie before. But so much fun.
Notes:
+ Welvilly and Minstrelia have seen this movie millions of times, so they talked all through the movie and knew all the songs. This is less annoying than it sounds; it was actually kind of cute. It's the way I watch, say, Princess Bride or Bring It On.
+ Despite this, no matter what they say, the lepers are not sexy. At all. Freaks.
+ I have had songs stuck in my head all day. Not even whole songs. Just bits. So I'd be sitting in class, hum a little to myself, and go "Kiss me, kiss me Jesus!" Or "I don't want your blood money!" Or "This Jesus must, Jesus must, Jesus must die!" (The last in the super deep bass, natch.)
+ I could never be an apostle. I could never do the right sort of rhymthic hand flailing.
+ Freeze frames should be outlawed.
+ Man, they really played up the homoeroticism there, huh?
+ What the hell does 'jaded mandarin' mean, anyway?
+ I don't think it's possible for me to watch some of the shots at the very end without "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" starting to play in my head.
On non-Jesus notes, I just had my last class till the 21st -- I'm doing stuff for AEP day tomorrow, then leaving on Sunday to spend my spring break in Pennsylvania with my grandparents. So less computer access, but also sleep. It kinda evens out.
I wanted to do all my laundry before I left, but the bookstore was all out of detergent. Bastards. Such are the dramas that make up my life.
Ooh, and I got to watch Vegetative State and Price of Fame last night, and Turf Wars just finished downloading. Ah, Everwood, how I love you. I'm hoping to get some writing done during break, too, but we'll see.
