When it was announced that Zachary Quinto was doing theater again, and performing "The Glass Menagerie" by American Repertory Theatre in Boston during the winter, fans from all over were terribly excited about the news.
Luckier ones were able to head to the city of Boston to watch the play while less luckier ones (like moi) just had to content with soaking in the ZQ flurry, digitally.
Although, if you had been one of those taking photos during curtain call, you would have been the subject of Zach's wrath.
Being a frequent theatre goer, it is a really rude thing to do, and despite his manner of tweet (I hardly found it insulting - because people who don't show others respect, don't deserve any in my books.), that tweet caused a furor from self-entitled people everywhere.
Ahhh... the internet. Where trolls love crawling out from the woodwork and into forums.
Anyway, on a happier note, a bunch of ZQC-ers managed to make it to the play despite that horrible blizzard that was swirling around the East Coast of USA in February.
Here's Lindsay's report on that fateful weekend:
Hyping up the "Margin Call" buzz with its Sundance Festival premiere this month, is an exclusive poster for the occasion.
Collider had the exclusive and posted the article and poster a couple of days ago. Here's the link to the article.
I thought it was savvy that the poster didn't focus too much on the faces and names of the acting luminaries that seem to be crowding the cast list. I mean, after all, these names already speak for themselves. And with a simple poster like this, it goes to show how much the producers and marketing team are more eager to highlight *the story* of the movie.
This must reflect something about the script that seems to be creating some excitement amongst the industry folks.
Have you noticed that in recent years, some choice indie films have gained a lot of ground in terms of popularity compared to the big-studios so-called "blockbuster hits"??
I am quite an ardent fan of the indie film, as the big-studio screen-splashes seem to use a set formula that one can expect before even stepping into the cinema. I still do enjoy some big-studio offerings - like Iron Man or the Harry Potter films. However, good indie films tend to reach my inner-soul deeper, with topics which are more personal and realistic. Or the storylines are just plain quirky; or are an utterly disturbing but pleasurable mindwarp. Added to this mix are often charming performances by well-known as well as lesser-known or unknown actors, where they seem free-er to be more "out-of-the-box". And I'm Sold. :)
It's been a couple of days since the Heroes-pocalypse and I know many are still unable to fully process their emotions.
However, the most moving tribute and farewell undoubtedly comes from someone who has worked with the cast and crew for long periods of time over the "Heroes" 4 years' tenure.
It is the ever-going cycle of life and death.. decay and renewal... beginnings and endings.
And... beginnings....
So the fat lady has sung (going with the tone of @greggrunberg's recent tweets) and NBC has officially cancelled "Heroes". (Sources: E! Online, TV by the numbers ). There was some murmuring about a 2-hour movie-event to wrap up the series, but one tends to doubt and wonder, if this is merely lip-service.
