Quarantine Movie-watching

[moon_custafer]

I keep seeing people point out on Tumblr that Shape of Water and all versions of Hairspray take place in 1962 Baltimore and could potentially crossover, so tonight I watched the 2007 musical adaptation of Hairspray. Which also parallels Shape of Water in that it was shot in Toronto; I kept recognizing locations, primarily Lord Lansdowne Junior and Senior Public School.

The Shape of Hairspray?

I did find one semi-crossover (uses a location from Hairspray rather than any of the characters): https://archiveofourown.org/works/12753000

There truly is something for everyone at AO3! It's cute.

The Tumblr post I saw pointed out that X-Men: First Class is also set in 1962, though I don't think any part of it is actually set in Baltimore so there'd have to be some geographical fudging to bring it in.

And had somebody committing a filk that began:
Good morning, Baltimore!
There's the fish-man who lives next door...

I’ve also seen “There’s Magneto, acting the fool; he tries to kill me on my way to school.”
