Some Guy TT posted:its not the competency of the production itself that bothers me but the reaction of the audience in the 2005 scene that this is the most horribly offensive thing theyve ever seen only to change their minds when hitler shows up in the exact same showtunes style theyve already seen i should probably put these side by side to better explain what i mean Good post. The film does look cheap, which is weird considering it cost like $45M. Totally agree about the staging and crowd shots. "and now i can actually see why these changes were made the broadway musical version doesnt have an audience because it doesnt have an objective camera so the actual audience as in the people who are watching the show are just laughing their heads off at the whole setpiece theres no tension about the plan seeming to succeed only to fall apart when hitler shows up because the whole sequence is presented as an unbroken straight line not an abrupt pivot the 2005 film must have maintained these editing decisions solely because they were in the 1968 film even though they dont work at all with the changes that were made in the broadway musical adaptation im a little surprised the same person who made the broadway musical also made the movie although maybe i shouldnt be just because shes good at broadway doesnt mean shes good at film and her never having done another film suggests shes cognizant of these limitations" Excellent, excellent point. It's a very weird choice, exactly as you said, the camera makes a huge difference. Regarding the bolded part, the Means Girls movie (musical) is a loving disaster, and a lot of it has to do with the death of movie musical and (in Hollywood) screen actors who have been on stage. Before the film school generation of the 1970's, directors had worked in television, which at the time was basically taped theatre, or had started in actual theatre. Now, there are hardly any directors who have experience with both, they're locked into one or the other depending on what their BFA is in. Add to that, actors like Nicholas Cage who are clearly playing to the back seats of the house, which is to say stage acting, are rare. Awards go to realistic performances. Well, theatre, and certainly musicals, can't be realistic. The combination of those means you have acting choices and direction that is going to be off on way or another when people film musicals these days. The only good ones, to my memory, are filming of stage shows. I could be wrong, I've heard Schmigadoon was good, but I've already heard Crazy Ex Girlfriend and Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist suck. You have film actors who don't know how to be in musicals, or musical directors who can't shoot a movie. We're just not doing the genre any favours.

i enjoyed schmigadoon and felt it was in the vein of crazy ex girlfriend, but a little funnier. i liked the cast a lot, and the bubblegum colors from the stage setting really gave it a good feel. i did not watch season 2 but it seems like a radical departure

i say swears online posted:i did not watch season 2 but it seems like a radical departure iirc they were doing a thing where S1 was the Golden Age, so Lerner and Loewe and Rogers and Hammerstein, and S2 was Sondheim and other edgier shows of the 60's and 70's like Sweet Charity, Chicago, Cabaret, Pippin. IMO, just because of how the culture has gone, S1 would be more amenable to normies, and if those influences applied to S2, it would probably be more Theatre Kid fare. Grandparents in Iowa can probably chuckle to a harmless parody of a song from the Music Man, they may not be down for the whole cast being naked as a nod to Hair. They didn't get the sort of awards or viewership they were hoping for, so unfortunately we won't get S3 with the ALW mega musicals and Wicked, which is when cornfed okey dokes started going to Broadway on their vacations again, which might have helped their numbers.

I just finished dream scenario and I thought it was one of the better new movies ive seen lately. nic cage was perfect for the role, I liked the awful topics they explored, and the alt right + France stuff was pretty funny. it was also great that it didn't overstay its welcome at about 100 minutes without many dull moments, and they didn't try to shoehorn a happy ending. and lol @ dreamfluencers. 4/5

The trick with Dragon Ball Z is the same as the rest of shonen; it's all pro wrestling. You have your babyfaces and your heels, both of them build up cred by plowing through jobbers and taking on colourful mid-carders, building heat and anticipation, they have their signature moves and finishers, and even usually commentators on the side explaining what's going on to the audience. They aren't subtle about this, there's a reason a key part of Dragon Ball was literal martial arts tournaments with a commentator, audience and referees. (and lol the bit where Goku and Jackie Chun actually do a play-by-play re-enactment of a fight sequence that went by too fast for the audience to see)

i thought shogun was gonna do that thing were ppl start talking in another language but switch to English, but they stuck to having the Japanese language being spoke in Japanese. they use English for i think dutch and portuguese but dutch sounds like hosed up German so no loss Popy has issued a correction as of 09:16 on Mar 16, 2024 |

Maybe there's also the element that it's supposed to be a universe with very varied powers so having every character does this look stupid and lame.

YaketySass posted:They should have the Japanese speak English and the white guys speak Portuguese. Absolutely, yeah, if it was shonen people would be complaining for the exact same reason; it's not even DBZ fights, it's DBZ fights done incredibly badly with no concept of what makes them work. Like maybe the only time they actually gave a villain proper due was Thanos, and that basically took him being the star of his own movie. If anything they keep doing the opposite, having villains openly be pathetic and ridiculous so there's no real payoff because of course the hero steamrolls over them once they actually figure out how to not gently caress up for five minutes.

Pacific Overtures did a good job of the Japanese characters being "normal" and the Europeans being exotic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8WiudDlTBw Sondheim also somehow combined a Sousa march, Gilbert and Sullivan patter song, Dutch clog song, Russian dirge, and French can-can.
