"Die Mommie Die!," which premiered at Sundance this year, kicks off the festival with a gala screening at Cinerama tomorrow night, with star Jason Priestley (yes, that would be Jason "90210" Priestley) and director Mark Rucker on hand. The film, making its Seattle premiere here, will open for a regular run at the end of the month; it's a campy pastiche of '50s-'60s melodrama, featuring writer Charles Busch in elegant drag as former singing sensation Angela Arden.
And those who find safety in numbers can flock to Cinerama on Sunday to warble along with "Singin' in the Rain," featuring a newly restored print of that 1952 classic. A glorious feeling, indeed.
So here's my question...is Singin' in the Rain and gay/lesbian film? Did I miss something?
