"It is a pity because we spent so long getting it just right."
Oh, that poor poor girl, to have spent all that time making out with Orlando Bloom for nothing.
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
She sacrifices for her art, and look what happens!

So that she won't have to suffer any more, I will nobly volunteer to take her place at any future Orlando Bloom makeout sessions. I am just that selfless.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I don't have any art perse, but I'd gladly sacrifice my shoes and handbags.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
So I'm 20 minutes into Phantom of the Opera. My first thought, if I were making a movie out of a famous musical, would have been to find people that could actually sing, since they're not only in a *musical*, but half of them are playing opera stars or Angels of Music.
This must be why they don't pay me the big bucks.

If I only had a brain...
Yup.
Or, in the good old-fashioned Holllywood way, DUB WITH STUNT SINGERS. Really. All of us thank you.

Is the Christine bad? Or the men and Minnie?

The Phantom strains on the high notes instead of tossing them off effortlessly. Raoul is the only really competent one, as well as all the small roles.

Emmy Rossum isn't good?

P.S. being able to act might have helped too kthanxbye.
Emily Rossum, so far, is ranging from inoffensive to not very good. I'm kind of surprised. I don't really like her voice -- she can hit the high notes, but there's nothing really pretty about it.
Raoul's kind of a babe, though. And Minnie Driver is clearly dubbed, but neither she nor the stunt voice can act.
