finally i don't *completely* fail at commentmeme

Writing update! I stayed up till 3, determined not to fail at commentfic again, and managed to finish one and cram it into 4 comments! If your brain is less resistant to the concept of Kink Meme style Batman/Gordon pwp than mine is (I mean, in theory I don't have a problem with it; I think I just have a hard time convincing myself well enough to write it. Deep down I prefer smarm. Lots of smarmy manly awkward bff smarm, possibly very silly or possibly ridiculously srs)... anyway, if you're so inclined you can gawk at the results of my labour here, but only if you've already seen The Dark Knight, because spoilery commentfic is spoilery! Meanwhile, my second attempt that had... totally passed the comment limit without coming anywhere near the prompt looks like it will fit in quite well with my first (5-comment) attempt, if I write a couple of scenes in between. The file is about 5 pages already, which is small only if you don't consider that it was all meant to be one comment.

Mamma Mia!

Wow. I just got back from Mamma Mia - we've been putting off because we kind of wanted to see it but suspected a chick flick. (Also I totally forgot that it was the Abba musical.) I hurt myself laughing, I think. I haven't seen a movie that funny in the theatre since Kiss Kiss Bang Bang with Robert Downey Jr, which was more than two years ago. The whole audience agreed with me, by the way. There was applause at the end. And who knew Amanda Seyfried, Pierce Brosnan, Meryl Streep and Christine Baranski (♥one of my favourite comedians since her role as Maryann on Cybill) had such great singing voices? Anyway, a definite recommendation - great and unexpectedly hilarious! ALSO: Stellan Starsgård (I drew airhearts at the screen) is such a big Swedish teddybear. ALSO ALSO: Colin Firth is still the thinking woman's Brad Pitt, with an appeal spanning... quite a few decades. There's still an audible sigh when he appears onscreen in a theatre full of women.
