    i liked little shop of horrors

    rust, you ask, is it because everyone dies at the end




    maybe

    i think that seymour and audrey one make it

    only in the production cut of the last movie

    there's a black-and-white version of the original ending floating around that follows the theatre ending

    in which audrey dies and gets fed to the plant, seymour is eaten trying to kill it, and the world is decimated by audrey clippings pulling the same stunt

    that's the one with the young jack nicholson right?

    was that one a musical?

    Hellfire is overdone by this forum. It isn't that good a song.

    technically it's not as impressive as some

    but it deals with lust, guilt, hypocrisy, belief, and assignment of blame

    which is pretty awesome for a disney song

    and tony jay's rumbling baritone makes men out of boys

    So, in other words, it deals with everything [chat] suffers from! :winky:

    probably not, that was a pretty baller ass 10 minutes. I mean not many games let you slay gods in the opening credits.

    I don't know if I am communicating it well enough; I dislike when someone will begin to sing and then suddenly the world is different and everyone is dancing and they are leaping through the air and flying around a helicopter and then they land back down and no one bats an eye, yet the musical number carries important significance for advancing the plot

    The ridiculous abstraction of the inner monologue, coupled with an abandonment of "show don't tell" to me, absurds the plot and message of the movie to where I cannot approach any important themes it is attempting to deal with seriously.

    Okay.

    Have you ever seen Hedwig and the Angry Inch?

    I am comforted by Richard Dawkins’ theory of memes. Those are mental units: thoughts, ideas, gestures, notions, songs, beliefs, rhymes, ideals, teachings, sayings, phrases, clichés that move from mind to mind as genes move from body to body. After a lifetime of writing, teaching, broadcasting and telling too many jokes, I will leave behind more memes than many. They will all also eventually die, but so it goes. - Roger Ebert, I Do Not Fear Death

    I don't like how musical can be all happy and funny and then change to somber and tragic in the last act.

    I'm looking at you Dr. Horrible.

    Last weekend, my dad was all, "I would like to watch those Monty Python movies again. They were so hilarious," and then began a giggle-fit about the Black Knight that left him almost in tears.

    Granted, he probably hasn't watched them since the 80s and doesn't even know what a neckbeard is... but I felt kind of uncomfortable thinking in almost any other context, this is the most annoying person I'll meet in a given day. :P

    That's a pretty typical theatrical device.

    Romeo & Juliet was mostly upbeat through the first couple of acts, with a lot of jokes and funny scenes.

    Alright Dr Horrible was pretty good as well

    So it is really just Rent and most Disney cartoons

    Hedwig and the Angry Inch is really quite decent.

    I'd call it more a R/Mockumentary than a Musical, though.

    Unless you see the stage version.

    I think my distinction between Rockumentary and Musical would be that the songs are actually enjoyable.

    Dr. Horrible was awful. The ending killed it. And I'm gonna be lectured by drama nerds about how tragedies work and blahblah blah and I really don't care.

    The problem with Dr Horrible is that Joss Whedon isn't actually a good songwriter.

  • TarranonTarranon Registered User regular
    Dr. Horrible's progression made sense to me

    but even without complaints of a tone shift, lud, don't you just dislike unhappy endings in general?

    wot's this really about, then, eh?

    The Buffy musical episode is probably the definition of why musical episodes are fucking terrible.

    It felt like it flagged a bit in the middle for me, but that's most likely on account of it being pretty damn long. They change shit up a good deal though. As far as spectacle goes, it can't really be beat.

    If there's one thing I love, it's spectacle. And God of War is basically the Expendables of video games.

    but somehow it just makes it worse

    like if the nerds were being tedious about something that was terrible in the first place it would not be so infuriating

    Oh God, it's so bad.

    There's even a line that goes something like, "This is a filler line because I couldn't come up with a line to write here" sung by Willow if I remember right.


    Ugh.


    And I even like Buffy... but geez, it's awful.

    Nerds mainly repeat the Holy Grail, though. Maybe some of the better-known Flying Circus sketches.

    Most of Life of Brian and The Meaning of Life are unsullied by greasy nerd hands.
