It's been over a week since I last posted. Not much has happened, really, but SCARLET PIMPERNEL rehearsals are in full swing as well as a full performance week of TITANIC. Playing principal roles in both shows makes Don a tired boy.
I have no idea how much of anything I'm rehearsing is being retained, because the schedule is so quick it's hard to review.
Still, working hard is good.
Any news in the real world? The last movie I saw was THE HULK, and unlike many people, I enjoyed it.
Why?
A) I know the Hulk as a comic book character, pretty well, but I'm not a purist and the tweaking of the origin didn't bother me too much. I'm also not that huge a fan of the Hulk to begin with, and this made it new to me. I was afraid it'd just be an overblown action film with a guy who turns green when he's mad.
B) Ang Lee really got to the meat of what the character is all about.
C) The ending was classic and I think now that the exposition is out of the way the next film can be a truly great HULK film for purists and newbies alike.
I'm sure that someday in the future I'll have time to see another movie. Perhaps.
