movies (fannish movie night)

• Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga -- I think it was thedeadparrot who lamented that every Will Ferrell movie is about a man child has to grow up. This movie would have been so much better without him. Sigrit (his musical partner and love interest) could have had her own solo movie, being a weird kid who wants to win Eurovision and having similar hijinks and personal growth along the way. I would also very much watch a supercut of this movie that is just all the fake Eurovision songs.
