I feel you. It’s true, the biggest fans of musical theatre that I’ve ever known tend to be obsessed with Rent, which in my mind is a complete abomination and why are they always singing SO LOUD UGH.

I’m sure we’ll keep seeing more and more stuff set here in the Bay Area and 90% of it will be about techie stereotypes instead of the actually interesting aspects of our region.

Me too! I moved from L.A. to New Orleans and made the same observation.

IDK, I was obsessed with Phantom and Hello Dolly as a kid (among better things, but I really loved those two), and my tastes have definitely improved since then.

I really need to re-watch that one. All I remember is the funny song where she sings that she wants a dick, a-dick a-dick.

Haha, yah, good ol’ Fargo. I think one of the whores in that movie actually name-drops my mom’s high school. That is probably the only time that town has been mentioned on screen.

He’s moving his mouth like Courtney Stodden does.

TBH, whenever I travel outside of California I’m surprised to be reminded that the whole country isn’t at least 1/3 Asian and 1/3 Latinx.

Can we get a three-year moratorium on anything set in either place and just get some movies from Minnesota or wherever?

Oh Jesus Christ you are making me crack up out loud at work STOP.

For me, it’s a toss-up between Singin’ in the Rain and Cabaret. Little else comes close. Not even An American in Paris has the same magic.

Was anyone else here really little when that show was on TV and did you mistake both or either of them for Barbra Streisand?

OMG, yes.

My husband does it, too. Maybe if we never get on their cases about it, we’ll “save up” the right to complain when they commit a more egregiously annoying thing later on down the line.

Definitely a burn risk, and also there’s the whole problem that coffee happens to be a powerful laxative. Who can focus on sex when it’s time to look around for the restroom?

Too much of Idiocracy is coming true, this year.

The film version Helen Mirren did a few years back is decent. Not fantastic, but decent.

I dig; it was a very huge part of my high school experience, but I have to cast my vote for a)Ian McKellen’s Richard III and b)The Hollow Crown. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2262456/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

Yah, it reminds me of a zombie horde and I’m glad I’m not the only one. That thing is a Halloween cup, not a Christmas cup.

We (and the house) went for a Princess Bride theme:
