This is no way to watch a movie, dude. Unless it's like Mamma Mia or something.

If there is a proper way to watch Mamma Mia (and I'm not entirely certain that there is), it is via live performance.

Seriously, have musicals ALWAYS been made into movies, or is this just a recent development. At the least, it feels like it's happening a lot more often of late.

I'm more disturbed by the precedent of movies being turned into musicals and then back into movies, i.e. Hairspray.

I don't care. [-( It won't be the first time I'm standing alone against the crowd. Besides, there was a thread in social to talk about complex theories of comic book filmmaking strategy. I stand by my assertion that the raving for this very good movie is way over the top!

It's not easy being green.
