I think I'm most sad about the loss of the Agony reprise.
None of it means a damn thing.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

Hey. New board.
It wouldn't have made sense with the time compression they did, but I do have to wonder why they bothered with that in the first place.

Yeah, I wasn't wild about that either. I think they were concerned that people would think the movie was over, if they did anything like the Act 1 finale, but surely there was a way to get around that without going straight into wedding-whoops-giant.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I can forgive the loss of Agony (reprise), but I can't forgive the miscasting of The Wolf or the loss of Children Will Listen (not actually cut, but turning it into background music is almost worse).

Hey. New board.
I was sad to lose No More, mostly because I loves that baker but I actually didn't mind Children Will Listen. I thought that theme came across beautifully without it.

It sounds like they've cut out my favorite songs. I'm not entirely sure I need to go see it now.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Calli, I'm having the same reaction you are.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I never got the Into the Woods love. I never have listened to the music, so I'm finding myself reluctant to see it.

Hey. New board.
I really do think it is worth it, though perfect it is not. I am significantly more satisfied than I was with Les Miz and Sweeney Todd, and I thought those were both worth it too.

It's so much better than Sweeney Todd, which I was not happy with.
