Strangely, I thought Colin Firth came out of it pretty well.

And I'm sure Meryl had a grand old time. Honestly, I think the best thing about that movie is the meme that goes around Tumblr:

If you don't like musicals, you should remember that Cosette, Miranda Priestley, James Bond, Leonard's mom, Dr. Erik Selvig, Howard Stark, Molly Weasley and Mr. Darcy sing Abba songs in Greece.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Really, I came out of the movie liking everyone except Amanda Seyfried and whoever came up with the idea of Pierce Brosnan singing. (Though I have to admit, it was counterbalanced by Christine Baranski's rendition of "Does Your Mother Know" being better than ABBA's.)

Just looking at it, I suspect more fun may have been had on that set than any since 1941.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I guess I need to see Mamma Mia after all, because I heart Christine Baranski.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

That number is pretty delightful.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

It's a really good cast, even if Brosnan can't sing. At least Skarsgard had the sense to Rex Harrison his songs.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Because in my recording of Mamma Mia!, the guy playing the role Brosnan plays is easily the weakest voice on there, it's my headcanon that they do that on purpose with that character. Like a vulnerable note or something. (Hey, my head, my canon!)

I think my favorite part though is during "Dancing Queen" when the elderly woman carrying a huge bundle of sticks joyfully throws them aside and joins the procession.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

The Comic-Con trailers for Wonder Woman and for Justice League actually look pretty good! Wonder Woman more so, I think, but I'm surprised at how promising Justice League looks.

Thrive to spite them

I loved the Wonder Woman trailer. I was getting into and I realized it was set in WWI and the scene of her going over the trenches.
