    I'd regret it but I dunno I sat down and my feet hurt and I stood up and they didn't, so

    He performed "We Didn't Start the Fire" on Jimmy Fallon with other Avengers: Endgame cast members in a sequence with the MCU logo and trademarks

    Therefore

    Avengers: Endgame is classified as a Stealth Musical

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    I will say it's not very nice here. But Blake's Aka Lottaburger is a great place for a green chili burger {you have to ask for it to be placed on} Little Anita's is a local fast food Mexican place that is good.

    hmm I would probably put that in the other category

    Perhaps there should've been a "musical from the 70s or later" category

    It's almost 40 years old, it can qualify as a classic.

    Casablanca has As Time Goes By and duelling patriotism, so it counts as a musical and is therefore best musical

    Also best romance and best war film

    One of my best friends lives in the UK. I live in Ireland. We have a tradition of spending every Halloween chatting away to each other online while watching a selection of cartoons and movies. Some change year by year, but every year without fail we will watch It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, Ghostbusters and The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

    In fact we tend to do Rocky twice, as we have the movie and also a really great stage production recorded live that includes a bunch of guest narrators including Stephen Fry, Anthony Stewart Head and Mel Giedroyc.

    Best production of Little Shop of Horrors I've seen was a community theatre production, goosebumps the whole way through

    I've also seen it on Broadway and it was garbage by comparison
