There were all sorts of fan theories in season 1 of True Detective that it was going to include supernatural stuff. Since this one's Stephen King, I'd imagine it does.

I don't dislike Gad, but he has to be used for the right part. Avenue 5 is the right part, but if you hate his presence that's not going to work for you.

I probably did the smart thing and avoided a lot of stuff where he was massively in your face. I remember that 1600 Penn show but not to the degree where I actually remember any part about it, I think he's fine as Olaf in Frozen and other animated stuff, and just the odd other appearance. It's kinda like wrestling where you have to have people to hate on, or you'll just be cheering both sides.

Toxic Fart Syndrome posted:Avenue 5 was fantastic and Hugh Laurie switching accents was hilarious. That scene was great. At first I was wondering if it was genuinely a slip by Hugh during the rant, but I realized that there's no way they would have let that through to the final cut. They waited JUST the right amount of time to call attention to it though that made me doubt it which was perfect comedic timing. The time delay joke, while not all that funny while it was happening, was amusing that Judd insisted that it was something that could be "fixed" and everyone humored him which got the only one that could probably legitimately help them killed in the process. It seems to be the central theme of the show. It's not enough to recognize the ignorance of those in power, you must stand up to them or the bad poo poo is going to follow all the same.

I'm glad Josh Gad exists because after Les Miserables there was this weird talking point about how Hollywood should hire more musical theater actors so now whenever anyone trots that out you can just point to his career and the bizarre backlash the dude has to his very existence and go "see? People can't handle someone that looks like a musical theater actor being in hollywood movies"

I still haven’t seen it, but I did not know until recently that the songs in Les Mis were not ADR and I still can’t believe it. I know the answer is “Tom Hooper”, but who the gently caress would consider that a good idea with a cast full of actors who aren’t known for their musical experience?

I hope people keep giving Tom Hooper money to do wild and crazy stuff that shouldn't exist. I know out of The King's Speech and Cats which I'm more likely to watch out of sheer spectacle and self hatred.

I just want to point out that Josh Gad is worth an estimated $12,000,000. If he put that in a zero risk 6% annuity and never touched the principal and never worked again he'd earn $26,000 every two weeks for the rest of his life. We're on a TV forum bitching about how we don't like him. I'm not defending him, I'm just saying obviously some people like him. gently caress I wish I had that kind of cash.

fwiw a fair amount of Moulin Rouge! was sung live on set, and that worked out. But Baz Luhrmann owns, Kidman and McGregor have good voices, and they had a lot of music theatre actors filling other spaces.

Like the good/bad CG argument, it all comes down to knowing what your talent can do and how to enhance that.

Croatoan posted:So I only watched the pilot just now but the show Everything's Gonna Be OK seems pretty good. It's on Hulu from freeform so expect it to be at least a little sappy. But it's good! It did not suffer from pilotitis imo. All the fortune cookies fortunes from my favorite middle of nowhere Chinese place have had advertisements for this show for the past two months. The latest was "Skinny jeans will never be out of style, but EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE OK(tm)" with a url and the Hulu icon on the back.

howe_sam posted:The show got them together then broke them up so many times that it strained belief they would successfully make a go of it twenty years later. I do wonder if the ending would've worked better if they had been more upfront about the big twist, and that the show wasn't about finding love, but moving on after loss. Maybe they shouldn’t have killed the mother and have the ending be about how you can’t force love, that it comes naturally and if it doesn’t then it isn’t love, and that it isn’t saying that love doesn’t take work and effort because it does but it’s not about fitting a square peg in a round hole like robin and ted

I'll give you Russell Crowe and Redmayne, but Hugh Jackman started in musicals before he got into film. The problem I have with most Hollywood musicals since Moulin Rouge: they keep getting made by directors that don't know how the gently caress singers sing, that's how we get casting decisions like Gerard Butler as as the Phantom, or why Emmy Rossum (who grew up singing at the Met) switches between sounding like someone who has never sung in their life and someone with even a little bit of technique. Baz Luhrmann produces operas, he knows how to direct singers because he's been part of that process and knows how to use all the tools in his toolbox. This rant brought to you by an opera singer that is sick and tired of Hollywood trivializing how loving hard it is to sing well

I'm a Pratchett nerd who also hates fantasy...so I'm afraid this show is going to be garbage. At the same time, I expected Carnival Row to be a disaster but it was surprisingly OK so - who knows!

McSpanky posted:I don't know what this is supposed to mean. True Detectives S1's villain would kind of go on about Lovecraftian horror stuff and some fans really got themselves convinced it was gonna turn into a supernatural show by the end of the season. I haven't started Outsider yet but being a Stephen King story (and King being heavily influenced by Lovercraft) its probably kind of similar to what they were thinking.

Aces High posted:I'll give you Russell Crowe and Redmayne, but Hugh Jackman started in musicals before he got into film. #teavana Chicago managed to pull it off despite casting people who weren't really singers in the leads. But again they got pretty lucky, I think, in Zeta-Jones and Zellweger sounding pretty drat good, and were careful to really work within the range their leads did have. ffs now I'm sad there haven't been any good musicals since Moulin Rouge! or Chicago, really. Not big productions, at any rate. I love La La Land but that movie woulda hit harder with people who could really sing and dance, even if it means we'd lose Stone's incredible performance. I liked Nine but that movie was a flop and is trash. But it's just the kind of trash I enjoy.
