If you are a geek of ANY kind, you have NO excuse for not seeing this movie! I'm looking at YOU, Linkara!
Seriously, whether you're a film geek, a music geek, a comic geek, an anime geek, a manga geek, a video-games geek, a tvtropes geek, a fan of the books or a geek who has yet to read the books, you MUST SEE THIS MOVIE!
( Spoilers for the movie. I suggest watching it before reading this. Warning: Massive Squee Concealed Behind This Cut! )
On a less-wonderful note, let me ask you one question: have you ever sat through a play that was awkward to witness and painful to watch?
I have. Tonight I saw a ... strange version of a play that I'm rather dissatisfied with for many reasons, though not many of them are easily explained to someone who hasn't seen the play. It was too ... abstract? The set-up was too ... sparse? It looked like a high-school production in a bad way? *sighs* The actors were so good, I've seen them preform many a time and they're funny and evocative and powerful ... but in this production not even they could save it. You could tell when they all came out for their bows that they could hear how muted the applause was. It almost broke my heart. I wanted to tell them that I thought THEY did a great job, it was just that the production sucked, but you can't tell that to a bunch of complete strangers, so I just left. It was ... awkward.
