no fate but what we make
Jan. 19th, 2013 04:31 pmI don't think I mentioned this, but I got free tickets to see Picnic, but since they were not on dates L. could make it, we also bought cheap tickets for next week, and then last night, ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
innie_darling and I used my free tickets. The crowd was not quite as squeeing fangirl as I expected, though the fangirl contingent was definitely present (and I don't just mean us). The free seats were in the orchestra and were surprisingly good (I was not confident that they would be after the rigamarole to get the tickets).
The play itself is dated and I kind of can't understand why they revived it, even for a special limited run, but I'm happy to report thatthe torso named Trouble Sebastian Stan does all right and doesn't embarrass himself and he looks quite stunning in person, though, oddly enough, more attractive out of character in the curtain calls; in fact, they absolutely play up his beefcakeness with a wink and a nod (I can't remember if the movie plays it that way, but I also don't find William Holden attractive so who knows) and one of the themes of the play is that everybody wants something pretty but good looks can only take you so far. Maggie Grace is all right but Madge is kind of a thankless part. The whole thing goes a little over the top in ways that I think undermined the story? And I'm not sure how I'll feel about sitting through it twice, but I'm okay with having bought cheaper tickets to do so. It also made me excited about Winter Soldier gearing up for filming starting in March. ♥BUCKY♥
Since I was out, I didn't get to watch the Fringe finale until this morning (I haven't been on Tumblr in days to avoid spoilers). I thought it was a fitting end to a show that sometimes stumbled but overall exceeded expectations and had a hell of a lot of heart, and as much as I emotionally detached myself from it in s4, I am going to miss having OLIVIA DUNHAM, BADASS on my tv every week. ( spoilers )
I also watched this morning's Young Justice. ( spoilers )
And now I believe my boiled oranges should be cool enough for me to bake a cake. And then tonight, HOCKEY. YOUR 2013 NEW YORK RANGERS vs. the Boston Bruins. I AM EXCITE.
