The Excelsior Theory

"The quality of a given movie based on a Marvel comic is inversely proportional to the size of Stan Lee's cameo, for movies in which Stan Lee appears."

I must be entertained. Always.

Tonight, Little Shop of Horrors at Theatre Memphis. It oughta be good--the stage version of this is usually better than the movie.

Tomorrow, probably going to see The Departed again. This time with Amy in tow. If I haven't said so here, this is Scorcese's best movie in years. At least since Casino, and probably since Goodfellas or Raging Bull.

Sunday, Pound at Playwright's Forum--it's a biographical piece about Ezra Pound, directed by the fellow who played Fagin in the production of Oliver! where I was Bill Sikes.

Tuesday, David Sedaris at the Cannon Center.
