to catch a cobra

Next Sunday Jeremy and I are going to see the musical "Catch Me If You Can," based on the movie, based on the dude. I'm looking forward to it for a few reasons. It'll be my first live musical, although I'm not sure how many more are in my future. I'll get to buy new clothes, although I always say that when some special event comes up then I end up not buying anything (or anything good) and the next time, like now, I once again have nothing to wear. And then of course there's just having a night out with my guy.
I was originally going to make a post about Bob Mackie, who did the costumes for the show, and how young he looks for a seventy-year-old. See, the news did a bit on him and he looked pretty good. But when searching for a photo I only found one recent one and, well, he looked pretty old.

In other news, G.I. Joe is out. Roger Ebert didn't care much for it, and it sounds just like what I would expect from it. I'm sure I'll see it just not in the theater. What I have liked about this movie from the start is the presence of the Baroness, played by Sienna Miller. When I think of Cobra, she's always the first thing I think of. The black hair, the glasses, the bad-ass bitchness, always having to take care of shit. Then I think of those twins. Then Destro, Zartan, and finally Cobra Commander, who I have not seen any sign of as of yet. Is he in the movie? I guess I'll have to find out. Maybe he's that Scottish dude and he'll be all helmety later on. It is called "Rise of the Cobra" after all.
