Indeed, I didn't know there was, but I just saw something yesterday about "It's a Bird...It's a Plane...It's Superman" (The Musical). I bet it was classic! :wink:

Well, as a fan of Broadway theatre and of the band, I have to say I think it sounds like some funky judgement on their part. I"m all for them branching out (and like I said before, I don't think writing a musical is necessarily a bad idea in and of itself), but with this as the vehicle? I'll...

Looks like this is actually moving forward. Readings are scheduled and casting notices have been put out...I don't know what to make of this. On the one hand, I'm getting sick of the excess of movies turned musicals/jukebox musicals/pop-star penned musicals, but for every Tarzan/Lestat/Good...

I don't know the details about Donnie Darko, but was it a similar situation to this with the theatrical cut being something taken completely out of the director's hands (done without his approval)? Or was it more like the studio suggesting changes/cuts, the director making them, then releasing...

Having shelled out $100+ on many a college text book, I couldn't help but cringe when he started ripping those pages out (thank god I was an English major, so after I got the general courses out of the way a typical class had a bunch of novels that I could pick up for under $10, rather than the...

Yeah, it's a Chunky...want half?

Awwww...Michael did something non-jackass-y! What a great episode.

He still had his boxers on...I wonder if I can find a picture (I remember there were some on Murmurs after the show).

I was at that show too! They opened (for the first and only time) with It's the End of the World as We Know It. It was an great show, complete with Michael dropping trou at the end and being carried off the stage!

I buy nearly all my DVDs used at Blockbuster (pity Hollywood Video went out of business in NYC, but when I visit my folks, I make sure to stop by Hollywood and Movie Gallery for their Buy 2, Get 2 deal). It's always kind of hit or miss. I haven't bought any for a while, but last time I bought...

They did a little piece about this on The Daily Show around the holidays (though, I think the church they were showing clips from was in the States, not the UK). They seemed a little crazy, flailing around to I Will Follow, to which Samantha Bee replied "If you walk away...please, just walk away!"

Just had to ask! It's a hell of a fun show. I definitely think the late release had a lot to do with Children of Men being ignored (and the fact that they seemed to have kind of given up before they started, as far as mustering up any semblance of a campaign). I do think that Dreamgirls had...

Have you seen Avenue Q?!?! Anyway, yeah, I definitely didn't get the big to-do about Crash (though I wasn't that crazy about Brokeback either...I was pulling for an upset by Capote or Good Night and Good Luck). And for the Crash/Babel comparisons...I didn't love Babel, by any stretch of the...

LemonMacPhisto, I saw Letters from Iwo Jima last weekend (I'll be seeing Venus sometime this weekend). I wasn't as blown away as many critics were, but I don't really have a huge problem with it being nominated for Best Picture (certainly not at Dreamgirls' expense). I'm not big on war films in...

OK, here we go. I've seen (I think) 43 movies this year, at my last tally...some thoughts on the nominations, from what I've seen: SO GLAD that Dreamgirls got shut out from the major categories (can't wait to hear what Papa Knowles is going to have to say after Beyonce and the picture didn't...
