a quote that more or less made my day

(Oh man I am so behind on comments -- riccichan! pithetaphish! I have mail and will properly flail very soon!)


Question: Which recent Academy Award-nominated film's director said the following about said movie:

"'Did you see Newsies?' [director] asks gleefully. 'You really missed something. Boy, was that great. Now I know this sounds strange, but I want [movie] to be just like Newsies, only without the singing and dancing. I'm serious. Print that!'"

Answer: Gus Van Sant, about Milk, formerly known as The Mayor of Castro Street.

Oh boy. It's, er, it kind of defies words -- really bad yet REALLY, REALLY ENTERTAINING. To me, at least. XD Lucas Grabeel's character is my unabashed favorite:

This (http://l.yimg.com/img.tv.yahoo.com/tv/us/img/site/16/89/0000041689_20070730135830.jpg) is (http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMjAwMDcxMDE3Nl5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTYwNzg0MjM3._V1._SX299_SY400_.jpg) Ryan (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MSCse4LyEqg/SOrKwfj37hI/AAAAAAAAAFc/33R4aoym6v0/s1600-h/begayerryan.jpg) Evans (http://queenitsy.com/queendom/manifesto/007-thumb.jpg). Ryan's secret codename (for purposes of sneaking around with his twin sister plotting against the protagonists) is Jazz Square. Because "everyone loves a good jazz square, it's a crowd favorite!" I adore him omg. ♥

Probably the most infamous HSM moment: Ryan is half of the gayest baseball game ever played (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-RzRtcCk8I). (The other half is Chad, the main character's best friend. Ryan realizes his scheming twin sister doesn't care about him as much any more, Chad starts growing apart from said best friend thanks to a Girl, so they bond a lot and come out after the game wearing each other's outfits. Not kidding.)

Edit: How could I forget: Ryan and Sharpay (that's the twin sister) want it all (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZAExN1OtVM). (He also does yoga. And wants to go to Juilliard. eee, Ryan. ♥)
