"We're gonna hijack us a Port-a-gee-zee ship"

[thehefner]

Hmm. I don't have a pirate costume for the midnight movie showing tomorrow. I'll be in a group of fifteen, fourteen of them strangers, all in costume, and me without even so much as a plastic hook hand.

But... I *do* have a perfectly awesome Bill the Butcher costume.

... *evil grin*

Appropriate or not, I am getting way more mileage out of that costume than I ever would have thought possible. I will be rockin' the handlebar mustache at the movie tomorrow, I promise you that. Just as I promise to take off the top hat so as not to piss off the people behind me.

(EDIT: It occurs to me that between Winter 2002 and Summer 2003 we were intoduced to two of the most awesome and unique new characters in modern cinema, and I'll be dressing up as one to attend the sequel of the other. So it will make sense to ME, anyway. Tell you what, I promise to dress like Captain Jack Sparrow at the premiere of GANGS OF NEW YORK 2: LEGEND OF CURLY'S GOLD)

Sometimes I think I only amuse myself. Sometimes I think that's enough.

No, you don't amuse only yourself.

You amuse me greatly.

Seen it already.

Oh, you know for a fact that you amuse me as well. And I hate to quibble, but given the way Gangs ended, I think the next one would have to be a prequel. Hey, that's not a bad idea...Liam Neeson vs. Daniel Day Lewis...we could see him cut out Bill's eye and everything! Oooh. I'll be right back, I have money to print.

See, really, if that had been the plot for the actual movie, it would have been a brilliant fucking movie.

But as for a sequel, you're not taking into account wizards and robots.

There also has to be a dog with shifty eyes...I forgot that, too. My apologies.

Where is this Midnight screening tonight?

heleneotroy & I might be interested.

It's at Silver Spring's Majestic Theatre. The group I'm going with is organized by my friend Holli. I'll be getting there around 10:30ish, probably gonna snag some dinner at Baja Fresh beforehand, if I don't feel too self-conscious in costume.

I firmly believe that if YOU find it funny, it's worth doing. Which is while I'll be attending the premier of Snakes on a Plane dressed as a Lord of the Rings character.

Wow, you win. Astounding.
