...I proudly announce THE MAY MOVIE.

It cometh, folks, and it commeth with the hard-hitting action of Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale sporting fake accents and cleavage! (Oh yes, The Jackman has nice cleavage, trust me, I saw the previews) But for those of you going "wha' happen?" right now, let me digress to bring you...

THE MAY MOVIE
THE IDEA: To gather a group of friends to go out to the cinema on the first weekend in May for a big blockbuster film.
THE LEGEND: Started with six people on an outing to see The Mummy Returns, THE MAY MOVIE returned the following year with the serendipitous scheduling of a small independant film that happened to have been shot at Columbia. Starring mostly unknowns and originating from obscure source material, people came from all over...erm, Manhattan, technically, since my friend from NYU was there...to see Spider-Man. The year following, X-Men 2, although there was also huge turnout for a mini-May Movie, the seriously underrated The Matrix Reloaded (ESPECIALLY COMPARED TO THE THIRD PIECE OF @&$*#$&#$^%!!! FILM).
THE REALITY: This year, as most of you know, Sony and Columbia (the studio and I blame the school, too, because I can) have devilishly pushed back Spider-Man 2, thus disqualifying it for consideration as this year's May Movie (catch it June 30th, 2004 in the States--They moved it up!). Instead, THE MAY MOVIE MISTRESS (aka me), brings you a story of a man...a hairy man...a hairy, tough man...a hairy, tough man with severe memory problems....I BRING YOU VAN HELSING. Starring Hugh Jackman, who, despite the way it sounds, does not, in fact, reprise his role as that lovable hellion, the Wolverine, and Kate Beckinsale, who, despite the way it looks, is not just playing a chick in a vampire movie. It's a love story, really, and judging by how ugly Dracula looks, I think we can rest assured that he's not the one getting the play (ladies, you know what that means).

Do you really need to know more? Of course not, I tell you how to think, damn it! Friday, May 7th, 2004. We're going, and I need to start hearing when people are free on Fridays. The date is non-negotiable, and I'm considering making the theatre MY choice for ease. I'll pick one based on times. For now, tentatively, since it seems to have worked with

feiran's trip for Kill Bill: Vol. 2, I'll say we're aiming for a 10 pm show. So, sound off now. I'll send e-mails, but if I don't have yours, you'll have to give it to me--im, email, phone, pass it off through friends, but DO NOT MISS THE MAY MOVIE MAILER. It's the stuff that legends were made of.
