Not in my world.
Excellent! Though I think you're at least partly responsible for me even knowing who Frank Iero is in the first place, let alone just how bendy he is...

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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.

Is my menu-derived knowledge of Asian languages completely off, or did they title a movie the equivalent of Lemongrass Soup with Shrimp?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I didn't make it all the way through, but yes, the title is soup and the movie involves food as a focus.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I guess The Protector was a more fearsome title. Was he protecting soup?

Hey. New board.
So far, High School Musical 2 is better than the first one. Not that I'm watching it.

I had the opposite opinion, Gris.

I had never even heard of HSM before this hullabaloo of HSM2. But I think I did know this kid from North Shore. No, wait, not that one. The other beach frolic, the one without Momoa, the one with the black chick from Alias.

Hey. New board.
The music fits so much better with the style and times, the storyline is less cliched and has more tension, and the girl got somebody to teach her how to sing with a decent amount of power. I like it more.
The only thing I'm sad about is that no single song had the iconic high school OR iconic big musical number power of "Status Quo." Otherwise, I was impressed by this one.

That was my favorite song from the first one. The only really good one.

I hate that they digitized everything and made everything sound all Disney-poppish.

I was so bored during a lot of this one, and I don't remember that last time. At least the first one took place in high school.

A very good point.
I liked the Disney-pop for this musical. It's not musical theater style at all, but HSM isn't musical theater, and going with full-fledged pop allowed them to do some really cool things - the baseball song was simply awesome. Especially in comparison to that terrible basketball song from the first one.
I have big moments of boredom in both. It's very much a do-other-things-while-watching series.
