(no subject)

I'm going absolutely insane, and I fully admit that it's 100% my fault. Or - perhaps not 100%, but I willingly accept 75% of the blame.

I said, "That will be a problem for Future Me". And bloody hell, is it ever. And there just isn't anything to be done about it at all.

[Movies] Cyrano 2021 - Brief thoughts

Watched Cyrano (2021) this evening. A conversation with Tik about the play made me remember this recent musical adaptation, and I figured it was time to give it a try.

Did I enjoy it? Sure! I love the play, but I'm not a purist, and while I'm aware a lot of people didn't like that a lot of iconic dialogue was swapped out for songs, I didn't mind.

This film sure was pretty - the visuals, the costuming, all that. Peter Dinklage was great as Cyrano. Most of the music was unremarkable, but the "Every Letter" sequence was awesome (and kinda erotic). And Cyrano's spoken word poetry/rap during the first duel was great.

Was it perfect? Nah. But I had a pretty good time.
