"And all around them, the bestiality of the night rises on tenebrous wings."

I have a question. Don't worry, it's multiple choice:

1. For a straight, adult male, the act of going alone to a screening of Mamma Mia is

(a) gay
(b) creepy
(c) an untenable combination of (a) and (b)

I put this dilemma to The Wife, and she responded it was a little bit (a), but not really creepy. I replied that to really earn a (c) I'd have to go see that Jonas Brothers movie, and that ain't in the cards.

And Brosnan sings, doesn't he? Maybe I'll just go see The Dark Knight again.

Well, I always enjoy a good random SALEM’S LOT quote.

Thanks for identifying the quote. I was trying to figure out where it would’ve fit into MAMMA MIA and couldn’t decide if it was from a missing verse of “Fernando” or possibly the extended disco version of “Dancing Queen” (either song would benefit). Looking forward to reading your review, Pete!

I agree with your wife that it was a little (a)…but if when Brosnan sings you sit back close your eyes and imagine him in that Speedo and cowboy boots outfit from The Matador, well then….

I love Abba, and I’m straight, and I’m extraordinarily single, so it’d have to be (b) for me, I guess. However, I saw the play Mamma Mia, and I have no particular need to hear other people sing Abba songs, so I won’t see the film Mamma Mia, so that kind of moots the question. Q.E.D.

Emily: it’s a line from the planned sequel, “Cthulhu Mia!”

C.
With intense intentional self pleasure involved.
Ie; C…with malice.
