Cleopatra's coming at 'ya!

Nope, not the song.

Although I might drop that in one of these Friday Magic Madness days. (If I haven't yet.)

I'm talking about Cleopatra, the film. And how they're casting Gal Gadot for it. And how social media has been chanting "Whitewashing" in unison.

Well, I - for one - am excited to see her play the Queen of the Nile. I think she has the perfect face, perfect queenly bearing, and perfect aura for it. Plus, after reading this article, the thought that she's a perfect fit was further solidified.

Start shooting this film, please! Cleopatra needs to make a comeback on the big screen. Stat!

FMM: Cleo Awards

Way back in 1998, (gosh, we now consider '98 as way back) there was this tween group from the UK whose CD (yes, CD) I chanced upon during a trip to HKG.

They were called "Cleopatra," and they had this infectious single entitled "Coming Atcha." I listened to it on HMV, an ended up buying their CD! All because of this song:



I think they turned out to be a one-hit wonder, but boy, they're one hit is so memorable, I find myself singing it today.

Thank God it's Friday Magic Madness.
