so deranged that it's hard not to admire it on some level, though i wish the insanity hadn't peaked so early (with the Rebel Wilson sequence). also, was it just me, or was what's supposed to be the big soaring final verse of "Memory" ("Touch me/it's so easy to leave me", etc) drowned out by the orchestration?

The theater mix you can’t understand any lyric outside of the hell spiral of mr mestopholes and the stripped down Jennifer Hudson song. The mix is poo poo

Sound mix was fine in my theater. I'm fairly sure I did not get the patched version because we still had the furless hands, the wedding ring, and people's clothes very clearly floating off of their bodies.

The only other thing I can gather about all this is that it seems like Andrew Lloyd Webber is the “Artiste” stereotype that gets thrown around in other media. Probably not but between...making Cats and what I heard of Starlight Express it sure sounds like it

Andrew Lloyd Webber once presented a TV talent show where contestants voted off had to kneel in front of his throne and present him their shoes while the remaining sang "So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen", that's all you need to know

Andrew Lloyd Weber once claimed his cat deleted the entire musical score to Love Never Dies so he had to start over. He also was a member of the house of lords and his only major activity was flying to London to vote to gently caress over the poor.

I asked if the theater had the updated version and they said yes, but all this was still in. The rings changed or vanished/reappeared scene to scene but everything else - hands, hover clothes, eerily detached faces - was all in. I think the truth may be that it’s just not fixable.

They were popular back in the day, have undoubted successes and their influence is felt. But since then they pissed away a lot of goodwill by acting like holier than thou artistes who believe they define the craft while their current output declined hard in quality. Bring either up in their respective circles will get you some nasty flames and discussion in return.

This is unquestionably the most fun I've had in a theater since seeing Mad Max: Fury Road and just like that movie my eyes were glued to the screen for every second of it's runtime. It is perfect, it is a lunatic disaster of the highest form, and I love it with all of my heart.

loving lmao that was one of the best films I'm watched while drinking beer smuggled in. Just the most fantastic batshit cinema. I'm annoyed by the vast numbers of extreme close ups and the confusing use of the shaky cam but all the weird poo poo are way more weird than they deserve to be. When they poured catnip on the cats, why do they actually show the main cat with her pupils dilated to point out "yes this cat is super drugged and high against her consent!" Why did the mice design come from the Tom n Jerry Era? Why are they shown more than once? Why does Idris Elba teleport with a large meow? Why did the last note of The Cats Song end with the a faint chorus of cats yowling? Why does it end with a 3 act monologue by judi dench cat? Cats!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got to see the version without the FX patches, since they didn't bother shipping it overseas. In a small way the missing CGI makes it better, since you visualise what the poor actors were doing on a sound stage. Its like how that leaked workprint of Wolverine is better than the finished movie. The parts with Memory is so bad and proud of itself that it's offensive. Because Tom Hooper blatantly repeated his own gimmick from Les Mis. Les Mis is a bad movie, but the scene with I Dreamed a Dream was praised because it worked around Anne Hathaway's limitations as a singer. She acts the hell out of it and the static closeup gives her space to work. Jennifer Hudson on the other hand, is a professional singer. There's no reason to compensate by zooming in on her face for 5 minutes. Just like there's no reason to make her try an English accent which interferes with the song. There's no emotion in her face because its covered in CGI. They added CGI boogers running down from her nose to her lips. I feel so bad for her. They repeat the song three times because its the one people know the most. The second time is during the climax, but then it cuts to cat Judi Dench with a completely blank expression. Everyone in the theatre burst out laughing. I feel so drained. I feel like its stopped me from thinking in a linear fashion. I wish I could describe it tersely. gently caress James Corden. . goodog fucked around with this message at 10:31 on Dec 26, 2019 |
