mellicious | Are we Wicked? (Reply)

So I have now been to see "Wicked" twice - last week with Rob and this afternoon with my sister and her best-friend-since-childhood (who I hadn't seen in years and years, so that part was fun too). I enjoyed the movie as much the second time as I did the first, 2 hr 40 min running time and all. I dunno, it just works. (Hollywood Reporter says it's starting to get Oscar buzz, and I think it ought to, really.) My companions both loved it, too. The theater was pretty full for a matinee show, and it was almost all women around our age group, although there were younger people there too. Apparently Monday is Senior Day at Cinemark, which I didn't know because I almost always go on weekends with Rob.

We did actually watch "The Wizard of Oz" on Disney+ (I think that's where it was) over the weekend. We hadn't seen it in ages. I've been watching Disney a good bit lately - we are watching the series version of "What We Do in the Shadows" (and we watched the movie too, but we had to pay a few dollars for that one) and I've watched "Deadpool and Wolverine" at least twice since it's been on D+ and there's an Assembled (making-of) episode for it, too. Plus a month or so ago I went on a Disney Sing-Along tear with Encanto and Little Mermaid and maybe something else that I've forgotten. So yeah, lotsa Disney, and none of it Star Wars, amazingly. (Isn't Andor season 2 supposed to finally be along in the spring?)
