    The stage musical version of The Wedding Singer is pretty fantastic, just FYI.

    For example, Muppet Treasure Island has a lot of fantastic musical numbers.

    But one of them has maybe the happiest I have ever seen a group of villains ever be portrayed on screen.

    They're just so fucking happy.

    I assume it's a perspective thing but that Tin Man looks roughly eight feet tall and deeply frightening, he could split you in twain

    Broke as fuck and the bills past due, all amounts assist and are kindly received.

    I was the chief flying-monkey.

    I antagonized the heroes.

    Shocking, I know.

    Yeah, no, that's just Jedoc. Eight feel tall and terrifying. Sends mortal men screaming in fear.

    I was Kenickie in an 8th grade performance of Grease. Mainly because I was one of the only kids with a leather jacket.

    I was a chorus member in my high school's production of How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying my Sophomore year, then Senior year I got to be Captain Brackett in South Pacific, which was a fun role because I didn't have to sing at all

    I was gonna be Scrooge in our middle school production of A Christmas Carol but I stole a kid's shoe so the teacher bumped me down to like, random citizen

    it was a power thing. She was already mad at me because I brought a coffee into school and she literally snatched it from my hands so I denounced her as a thief in the middle of the hallway

    I guess i liked Men in Tights all the times i saw it and i'd see it again, and i haven't yet seen little shop of horrors or reefer madness.

    But i didn't really care for a lot of those other ones.

    i think 2007 hairspray was a huge moment of "oh, i guess i just don't like musicals". I've sort of come around on that and i mostly think a lot of them are fine, but there's only a small handful that I think are good (which is that I enjoyed watching them and would probably enjoy watching them again).

    Like, i saw the version of jesus christ superstar with Rik Myall and there were some things I enjoyed, i.e. dirtbag, shiteating-grin judas, and the general dude being very melodramatic, but i feel like it was kinda enjoying things in spite of the movie rather than actually engaging with any of the emotions or characters, or enjoying the songs.

    I'll be honest it may very well not have been merchant of venice, but some other comedy musical about 2 identical brothers in venice played by the same actor and some evil dude who's trying to convince them not to fall in love with women.

    Stealing some kid's shoes feels like a very on brand move for Scrooge, though.

    I was the titular role in our 2nd grade production of Clang The Clumsy Elf. In which my mother called my performance "very cute" And after such sterling reviews I retired from acting to not blemish my untarnished career.

    im trying to google the only song i can remember from it, or "list of stage musicals where one actor plays two identical brothers" and nope

    EDIT: The Venetian Twins

    I was never on stage for high school musical productions because I was always in the orchestra. Much preferable, and generally far less work.

    Edit: ok technically I was on stage for Oh What A Lovely War in yr 11 because the band sits on stage but like, nobody was paying attention to us.

    My Catholic school censored the production of Annie Get Your Gun. The two leads were very mad because they spent a lot of time blocking the scene where they kiss so they could do it without actually kissing and the principal still said no

    Speaking of musicals, I just saw "Anna and the Apocalypse". It's basically Shaun of the Dead starring high schoolers, with a high school musical tone and production value. It was nowhere near as good as Shaun of the Dead or Zombieland in terms of laughs or cleverness, but it was pretty charming.
    It also does the Shaun thing of going hard on being a dire zombie movie and dropping most the comedy by the end, so if you didn't like that part, you won't like this part either.

    Found Shin Godzilla on bluray for dirt cheap.

    I’ve seen it once before. It was the first movie I watched with my son (in double feature with Conan the Barbarian). He was maybe a week old, so it was mostly something to watch in the middle of the night between bottles and diapers every 45 minutes.

    Turns out it’s even better when you’re not severely sleep deprived! Top tier Godzilla for sure. Maybe my second favourite, next to the original. I recognized it as a satire the first time, but I didn’t realize just how funny it was.

    And the atomic breath scene is maybe the best Godzilla moment in the whole series. Absolutely horrifying.
