Um, I think I have turned into t-rex again tonight.

I just got back from seeing Giant Bones, and OH MY. I went in with medium-high expectations, the first act met them okay, and then the second act blew them out of the water.

You know how sometimes, in the first act, there is a gun on the mantlepiece, and you find yourself thinking, wow, they just put that gun on the mantlepiece, but this seems to be a play of short stories. How brave of them to just put that there without any intention of using it! And then in the second act everything turns out to be a metaphysical play about the nature of guns? And everything that you thought were short stories turn out to be a part of it?

It was like that. Except with STORYTELLING instead of guns.

yay!

Is this a movie that I can go see, or a play that I must be in SF to enjoy? (Also, wtf, text editor, why is everything in italics?)

Alas, it's a play that you must be in SF to enjoy. There's going to be a limited print run of the Peter Beagle stories it's based on, but that's only going out to people who were in the audience for the play's run. You can read it the next time you're in SF though?

And yes, my text editor is in italics. It appears to be part of my DW layout. Not actually sure how to modify that.
