Re: Struck by Lightning Main thread

“Meantime, Tribeca Films is getting ready to release ‘Struck by Lightning’ next month. The comedy, directed by Brian Dannelly and written by young Chris Colfer from ‘Glee,’ is a must-see this fall. It’s very much the ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ of this season.”

I don't want to get my hopes up, but I have been fighting off ridiculously high expectations since Tribeca. Really, when I think about it, it is just a huge deal that he even got this movie made and that Tribeca thinks its good enough to be considered for awards. That is huge!

Here is an interesting interview of Roberto Aguire:

http://www.justjaredjr.com/2012/11/28/roberto-aguire-interview-justjaredjr-com-exclusive/

My favorite quote of course is:

JJJr: How was it working with names like Chris Colfer, Rebel Wilson, Sarah Hyland, etc?
Roberto:They were such great people to work with. Chris’ extreme humility is so impressive to see up close. You almost want to shake him and say “YOU ARE SO TALENTED ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY”, but he would probably just brush it off as an outrageous statement.

“Struck By Lightning” (December 19) Criticwire Page

Chris Colfer has already proven himself singing, dancing and acting his way into the hearts of fans worldwide in Fox’s hit TV show “Glee.” At this year’s Tribeca Film Festival, Colfer proved himself to be a quadruple threat after world premiering his snappy and ambitious screenwriting debut, “Struck By Lightning.” In the teen comedy, Colfer plays Carson, a senior who will do anything to get into his dream school, Northwestern University, and away from his depressed and alcoholic mother (Allison Janney), who keeps holding him back from realizing his dreams. Christina Hendricks, Dermot Mulroney and “Pitch Perfect” breakout Rebel Wilson co-star.

From what I understand Struck by Lightening is not an LBGT movie. Perhaps it is an aware gifted to those from that community who have created a great movie. Whatever, Chris won it, with his wonderful writing and acting. Way to go.

[fantastica]

it's not. the gay guys in the movies are not main characters at all, and it's not about one's sexual orientation. the movie is very neutral in that respect.

the only thing related to LGBT is that the movie is written by and starring a gay actor and directed by gay director.

the new glee club in NYADA will be called "Adam and the Apples", w/ Adam being the lead singer. oh well, deja vu again - another blaine and the pips recycled, except this time, adam is definitely older than kurt.

now I want kurt back to Vogue. screw NYADA. I am not interested in watching kurt swaying in teh background again watching his fab boyfriend taking the solos and bursting girl's overies. maybe kurt will finally realize that no matter where he will always play the second fiddle, might as well go back to little Blaine for some comfort. forgive me, I know I like to put the cart way ahead of a horse that's not been born yet, but I can't help it. glee turned me into such a hopeless and negative person!

Will this be on Itunes in Australia as well or is it just on the US one?

Wait, there are different iTunes stores in different countries? (You're talking to someone who's a total noob when it comes to Apple products)

Oh dear, does that mean I've bought that iPad and that iTunes card for nothing (I bought them mainly to purchase and watch SBL after all)?

Here's another SBL-related tweet:

Here's another SBL-related tweet:

Well, Indiaskye is saying she is watching it via Itunes, and she lives in Germany, so it must be all Itunes. But she does use US Itunes and buys the American Itune cards from ebay sometimes. So I don't know.

You would assume it was all Itunes.

Sorry, about this. I would be unhappy if we couldn't get to see it.

Australia's Itunes does have the audiobook, so you would assume they would have the movie as well. I guess we just have to wait until the 19th.

^Congratulations, that's just wonderful!
(so jealous)

Enjoy, and report back to us.

Hey! Sorry I never reported back after seeing SBL. I'm not very good at writing reviews. All I can say is that I loved the movie and I can't wait wait to buy it on DVD so I can re-watch it and pause it and rewind it and just admire every little bit and piece of it again. And I did finish the book before going to see it. I really think they complement eachother perfectly. Chris is really amazing.

[fantastica]

is it out already? i thought it will be release on the web on 19th.

also, does it come w/ subtitles? I saw it in the theater but w/o subtitles I missed some words. He talks FAST!

if not I can always wait for the DVD. they always have subtitles.
