Local theater is where stage shows make their names but the commodified Broadway spectacle makes theater into bougie bullshit.

The only musical you ever need to see is the planet of the apes one on the simpsons. It is a perfect sendup of that garbage.

I am leaning he doesn't give a gently caress either way like everything else. They act like a married couple throughout both movies, not brothers in arms. Their relationships with women are a side note. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77ysLdhN1tw While played as a joke to the audience, the shoppers except one support or see it as no big deal. A by product of Bay not giving a gently caress. If you view them as actually gay the movies get funnier/better.

But i've only ever heard it so I thought you had to be there to appreciate the spectacle maybe

You guys making GBS threads on Hamilton have no idea what an actually awful broadway musical is like. On the nose lyrics explaining what people are thinking or doing are par for the course. The Groundhog Day musical had a ballad by the woman Phil fucks in the first part of the movie about how people only use for her looks, so she feels bad that she's just played the pretty girl role her whole life (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ilLle_xXR0). Most of the other songs from that one aren't much better. You can pick any song from the Spiderman or American Psycho musicals and they're all terrible. I mean, just what the gently caress is this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhJKsZ_5LG8

Bad Boys for Life was...actually pretty fun? Like I was expecting it to be inferior to the first 2 but it somehow managed to be as entertaining as them. Turns out this one didn't need Michael Bay directing to make it crazy after all. It was directed by "Adil & Bilall" and I guess this is their US theatrical debut. I wouldn't mind seeing more from them.

Waltzing Along posted:People think this is good: I tried to watch a bit of that on like three separate occasions yesterday and had to stop like 5 seconds in all times. It's awful and embarassing. That said and speaking of musicals, I thought Book of Mormon was actually really good. I saw the Norwegian version last year when that was still on (and because that's not Broadway, it did not cost $500, more like $35 IIRC) and have also listened to the songs from the English version. I guess it helps when you have people making this poo poo who actually are good at writing songs.

LanceHunter posted:I mean, since most of the physical locations in Hamilton aren’t significantly different than those in, like, 1776, I don’t know why they feel the need to film it on a stage. I mean, other than the fact that this is probably 500% cheaper. v that's very bizarre to me. maybe it's an American thing? A boomer thing?

Saint Drogo posted:to somebody's credit, i think they actually realized what would happen if they tried to sell Hamilton to normal people. It's an easy sell to normal people. My parents don't give a poo poo about theater and they love Hamilton because it makes them feel like they understand rap and that Lin Manuel Miranda fellow is so handsome and articulate.
