That wasn't the order in which we intended to do those things, but the Universe had better plans for us!
I'd called her earlier about a new movie with a bit of burlesque and drag queens about it and she was all in!
Then we got to the AMC Cinema... and the movie was not yet there.
The mothership had been remiss in sending it along, even though they'd posted it as available on the website.
Tom was there, and he assured us it would be up for the later screening.
So off mi amiga and I went to Texas Roadhouse!!!
I had a yet another winner from the SING fundraiser to use, and this time I wasn't keeping all the goody for me.
She was fine with that!
She even picked up the tip... though that may be because she was quite taken with tall, cool, Josh, with the flirty smile.
Yes, he really was good to us!
Then we returned to the cinema... and Tom was good to us, too!
That movie still wasn't done loading up, so he gave each of us two AMC passes to use for any other movie, any time!
What a treat!!!
It was her first time seeing it, so I'm glad to share that with her, too.
That gave me a third dance for this week's A*List, so that was good.
I've already written about that middle one, but not the one seen last Friday.
That's funny, actually, as I've talked it it with so many!!!
It's all because of the music in it.
Brian May's guitar work absolutely elevates "Masters Of The Universe" to epic level, putting it on a par with "Flash Gordon" in my eyes.
Queen - and, my default, Freddie Mercury - lives on in this new movie!!!
Nicholas Galitzine is pretty cool, too, coming off as a younger, and even nicer, superhero than Sam Jones' version of the King Features comic hero in that 1980 film I love.
Here's the funny thing about that: Galitzine will be 32 in September.
Jones was just 26 years old when he played Flash Gordon.
Not much difference in their ages, but I was sure the one who just played 'He-Man' was the younger man!
Maybe it's just the way the character is formulated in this movie.
Cast out of his Universe, much as Superman had been...
but at the same age that Peter Quill was when Yondu took him...
'Prince Adam' has abandonment issues the other two did not.
So, when he shows up as a grown man with a job in a Human Resources capacity to resolve workplace issues, it's believable.
That's a very different start for a one-day He-Man...
which, by the way, was the moniker he gave himself as a boy, when he was trying to make sure he didn't forget all the family and others who had been in his life, back in that Universe in which he spent his first decade.
Like I said, younger and nicer... a quality he shares with the other superheroes I adore, like Superman and Flash Gordon and the Star Lord.
Very nice!
