SHUT UP (a movie review)
Do you like enchanting, soulful, folky music? Do you like falling in love? Irish accents? Popcorn? Then shut up. Just shut your damn mouth and put on your jacket, or pashmina, or dickie with a sweater vest, or cape with nipple clamps, or what HAVE you, and RUN to your local indie theatre to see
this movie
Hmm? What did you say? The term "romantic musical" makes you want to peel off the top layer of your skin, and throw it at the Silver Screen? Hey- it's daunting, I know, but trust me, it's not like that. It's funny and original, with perhaps a hint of "The Commitments" thrown in... and now I've said too much.
What's that? Another question from the back? Yes- you in the green sequined assless chaps? Why YES, the soundtrack IS available on iTunes- we downloaded it this morning. I'm swooning over it even as I write this post. Every song is good. Look for Glen Hansard, Sir, you won't regret it. Hmm? Oh, I'm sorry. Ma'am.
Plus- if you harbour the little singing musician fantasy that I do, you will eat this film up and ask for seconds. Just shut your damn piehole this minute, and go and see it. I give it four and a half out of five avocados.

Because I have faith in you, I clicked to see what musical you were talking about, just knowing that I wouldn't have to let out a blood-curdling scream and claw my eyes out at the sight of John Travolta in drag.
THANK YOU for proving to me that you do love us.
We will make a date night to go see this! And I'll be sure to give you the credit for my husband getting a quickie in the parking lot.
sequined assless chaps?
LMAO
(and, alright, already! i'll see what i can do to go!)
But...it's going to be warm tomorrow. I don't want to wear my pashmina dickie cape.
Damn it.
O-KAY. I'll DO it. I'll GO. Stop yelling at me.
Also, I wasn't talking.
(You shut up.) ...Nothing!

(mumble mumble)
Eve said I had to wear my cape.
Now THAT is a movie review.
jenn- I'm glad that you know that I would never, EVER intentionally direct you to a John Travolta movie of ANY kind, (unless it's Grease,) because I love you too much!
shannon- so... didya see it?
tina- I'm sorry for yelling.. now, please put on your belaclava, tophat, and faux fox fur onesie, and head for the theatre. No more backtalk, young lady - it's for your OWN good.
nichole- I'm no Ebert, but I try. :)
so you're saying I should see it?
lady, you ane your assless sequined dickie make me laugh OUT LOUD
I'm jealous of your options. All I have is a down-filled bikini top and some rhinestoned hipweighters. I'll throw them on and find this "selected theatre release" right away.
Thanks, Eve!
