Glee Episodes 21/22 - "Funk" and "Theatricality"

SPOILERS: Well, the episodes for one. Plus a small Season 2 casting spoiler at the end

Ta da! A post! How awesome. It's been a while, and I misplaced all my notes from these two episodes (that's right, I take notes, just for you guys). SO, this is going to be a bit...well...shaky because I'll only be able to write about the things that stood out for me. Also, since I have so much to catch up, I'm combining both episodes into one review. And also, I'm skipping pics for these, since I want to just get them posted - I may go back later and toss some in. Let's get started...

(By the way, I end the post with the casting spoiler, so just stop reading when you see the warning if you don't want to read it)

Proof of Intent :D

Yes, yes, I know - I've somewhat failed at maintaing this blog. In my defense, NY is a much more exciting place to be than either Pittsburgh or Washington D.C., making it extremely difficult to willingly sit down and write. I mean, there is so much free stuff to do when you have an unlimited subway card! And you'll probably hear plenty about it. But I digress...

I have not forgotten about this blog, and to be honest, I'm a bit flattered and surprised by how many people have bugged me about the fact that there is a conspicuous three week gap in my posts. SO, I'm going to try to keep this going - and to prove, here's the list of posts I plan on finally writing this week:

• Glee episodes "Funk" and "Faithfully"
• Stargate Universe two-part finale
• Robin Hood
• Burn Notice premiere and subsequent episodes
• Royal Pains premiere and subsequent episodes
• Richard III (in Central Park, for free) 
• Revival of West Side Story
• Tony Awards
• The Coney Island Mermaid Parade - aka what happens when you add together the beach, BP protestors, lots of body paint, hot dogs with excessive amounts of bacon, something called "orangeade" and a few religious protestors

Hairspray...the movie....the GOOD one

So, to celebrate one of my last nights at home, last Friday, I decided to do a musical movie marathon, and one of the movies I watched was Hairspray - the recent one based off of the Broadway musical, not the not the not so great first movie that inspired the musical. And I have to say, it was better than I remembered (and I liked it the first time around). What makes the good and bad parts of the movie can really be broken down into its actors. I'm not going to cover everyone, just the few I think will get some discussion. :)
