adiva_calandiaHad a good show, followed by an overly long rehearsal to plug in a new actress*.
Then, dinner with BFF, followed by watching 10 Things I Hate About You with her. I feel obliged to here melt into a little puddle of GUH at Heath Ledger in leather pants with an Australian accent. *does so*
Also, a good adaptation! There were several points where I went "HAHAHA AWESOME," like when Cameron said he would be Bianca's French tutor, or when Mr. Universe (did that character have a name? Who cares, it was Mr. Universe) got the Shakespeare obsessed chick the dress.
However, I was looking forward to seeing how the, well, abuse between Petruchio and Kate was going to play out, and was kind of disapointed to see that it didn't. I understand why, of course -- you can't exactly have the romantic hero of a high school movie refusing his girlfriend food; not only does it look bad, but it's implausible. But it was less about taming the shrew, and more about winning her. If anyone was tamed, it was Patrick, not Kat.
I'm also intrigued that the whole movie is named after a two-minute scene.
The music is AWESOME. The black teacher is AWESOME. The porn-writing guidance counselor is HILARIOUS.
In other news, I am extraordinarily frustrated by the fourth level of Fyora's Quest. HALP.
I also fear that I have abruptly come down with a cold, if the sore throat is any indication. Blargh.
*How To Make Boring Rehearsals Of Stuff People Already Know More Interesting, By Adiva, Aged 18 and 1/2:
1) Fill in for missing actors and overplay their physicality.
2) Say your monologues in one breath.
3) Tackle your castmates.
4) Dance across stage.
