First, here's what I'll be doing later today:
Solo Performers Roundtable
Led by Slash Coleman, Laura Zam and John Hefner
Fort Fringe, 8pm, FREE Come together with other artists for a no-holds-barred conversation about solo performance. Topics will range from the writing process and developing new work to production challenges and audience outreach. Last year's roundtable was a huge hit!
So yeah, if you're interested, come on by and watch me fumble as I try to give my experience and advice!
And for those interested in my in-depth thoughts on THE DARK KNIGHT, I think I'm actually going to fight temptation and hold off until I see it again, this time on IMAX with Ma on Tuesday. Then I'm gonna post the motherfucker.
And I'm going to be harsh. I'm going to be harsh because I've spent the entire weekend--and much of the preceding weeks on rottentomatoes.com and whatnot--hearing people heap nothing but hot jizzy praise over the film, hailing it as the new WRATH OF KAHN, the new EMPIRE, the new GODFATHER PART II, raising my already-crazy-high expectations to impossible levels.
I'm going to be harsh simply because I so deeply loved the vast majority of the film, and because they got so much right--so much beyond right--that I think that earns them even tougher scrutiny than if it was just an overall "good" movie.
But for now, I urge you to check out![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
angrylemur's impassioned and well-thought-out argument against the fundamentally flawed and hollow character of Rachel Dawes, and how there were no strong female characters period. SPOILERS, of course. She makes some very compelling points, especially in light of IRON MAN's Pepper Potts, who was awesome. I won't be discussing this in depth, but it does play a major factor in where I will be going.
For those who are interested in such things, of course. And I'll do my best to separate my own personal passions with my objective film goer perspective, rest assured.
