'Out Of Gas'
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.
Gaston was ruined for me because I worked at a children's theatre summer camp, and the theme was multiculturalism. The director had them sing a song she had written to the tune of Gaston-
"No one's nice like Iceland
No one's ice like Greenland
No ones' food is incredibly rice like Thailand".
It was awful
I agree with Dana, and not (I think) just because I learned it first.
I would thnk Sweeney is harder to sing than ITW, FWIW.
Yeah? And did the movie work? I never saw it.
My objections to B&B and clearly I am alone in this is that they messed with the original fairy tale to such an extent that many of the original themes were lost.
They added a weird Frankenstein element where the town came after Beast with torches and IIRC this weird love triangle.
I just ddnt appreciate it at all.

Holy shit, that is bad. It makes my head hurt!
The Sweeney movie was okay but the music was not the strong point.

I kind of assume Disney will do that with every movie, though.

Yeah.
Well, assuming Disney pushes forward with it, I guess we'll see.
Bella Heathcote - what an excellent name for a gothic heroine.
