'Cause nothing says holiday like ritual movie watching

[pinksonia]

Today I did the ritual watching of the Godspell and Jesus Christ Superstar movies in honor of Good Friday.   This was the old 70s version of Superstar not the newer version that I didn't even know existed until today, but which I now need to rent in order to compare "wussy, baptist-Jesus" to "wonky-eyed-Jesus".  What? It's not at all unreasonable to spend a movie discussing the main actor's wonky eye and parental obsessions with odd songs.  Apparently Arynne's father is all about Simon the Zealot, while my mother cracks up every time the "then when we retire/We can write the Gospels/So they'll all talk about us when we die" bit. 

I did not sit outside and wait for the sky to get dark as a fiend's mom made me do as a teenager.   I'm not sure whether there was supposed to be a wave of darkness that descended as each time zone reached noon or if my friends mother just forgot to take into account the time difference between Jerusalem and West Chester, but the sky never did turn dark. 

I also managed to find these shoes at the Buffalo Exchange for $15, which made me ridiculously happy.  There was even an Easter Egg hidden nearby, so I got a piece of gum. 

Finally, for work this week I get to fly to Nashville on Tuesday.  Kat and I wii do some previous investigation research, take a look at a parking lot, and then fly back Wednesday.  Quite possibly this will be the most pointless project I've ever been on, but It will add another entry to the list of states I've worked in.

Does the Jesus Chris Superstar movie involve lots of leather and whips? I saw it at the Media Theater or something with my church group in high school, and we were highly disturbed lol.

Leather and whips is the traditional way to do Herod's scenes, but they don't use them in the movie. Instead he's hanging out in his white swim trunks, frame-less rectangular yellow glasses, and Jew-fro, with a chorus of Mod people behind him. The scene has some er... lovely... er bathing suit crotch shots during the dance number. I think I'd prefer the kink-gear.
