As a Vegas resident with friends in the magic and performer community (yes, I know that is as sad as it sounds), this has been one of the worst kept secrets ever here. Like Cosby and Weinstein in Hollywood levels of ‘everybody knows’.

Hey, it’s a lot more tasteful than the “watch me make your panties disappear!” joke I had planned.

For a guy who could make the Statue of Liberty disappear, why couldn’t he do the same with these women? I mean there’s only sixteen of them. Very disappointed in his magic skills, I must say.

People who say “this is still on?” are still around?

More like David Cop-a-feel, am I right?

The Guardian notes that Copperfield may not have known their ages at the time

Snapchat selfie. 

Ding. Plus people do love that movie.

Not the slightest bit. The interesting thing about the movie is she finds strength and independence from challenges she’s never faced before, without losing her positive outlook.

As one of our colleagues rightfully pointed out, the whole point of the original Legally Blonde film was that Elle was kind of insufferable before she gained confidence and direction in her life at Harvard.

And how is it “awkwardly shoehorned in” in this case?

Yeah, must be diversity quota. No way a Black woman would be able to play a character that’s constantly descriminated against becasue of the color of her skin.

I’d like to see more musicals get the Hamilton treatment: just film the stage show. No need to moviefy it.  Give some thought to the camerawork to keep it from being static, but just let the stage players do their thing.

Here’s my issue: I’ve been in 39 musicals in my life (took music theatre in college then changed career paths later). I love a good musical. What are my thoughts on the last dozen musicals-turned-to-films? I dunno cuz I missed most of them or don’t care. Why?

Yes, very brave to actually cast a Tony Award winning musical theatre star as one of the leads, even though she’s not a big name

Yeah they’ve really over-pokered their hand making this into a goddamn two parter.  What if part 1 flops?  What the hell are they going to do then?

It’s Degeneres’s, damn it.

All of that is well and good but there’s still absolutely no good reason why this should’ve been a two parter.

Booksmart would definitely be my pick. Before that, I’d say Ben Affleck probably impressed me most with Gone Baby Gone

No “A Bronx Tale” (Robert Deniro)?
