We've had this discussion before. Musicals can be awesome and fun and be full of good music but they are also really lame. Like they are not cool and will never be cool. Anyone that tries to assure that musicals are cool instantly sounds really lame because musicals are lame. That doesn't mean there is anything wrong with them and that there isn't greatness in there it's just the very nature of the beast.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:RENT is also rear end. Rent is just absolutely horrific trash and its messages are despicable. I saw a touring production during my freshman year of college (it was required viewing by the professor) and I think I had him almost to the point of tears when we met to talk about the assessment I wrote of it. Didn't help that most of the singers in the original cast were unbelievably terrible. Timby fucked around with this message at 19:39 on Mar 14, 2017 |

With SNL I'm amazed that even when the sketch goes viral and is pretty good, it is consistently at least two minutes longer than it needs to be. It shows what a culture that has most likely been built up with filling time over everything can do to a show's comedic sensibilities.

I have 2 puppet master films left and... Good god, never watch this trash. Don't watch past 4. I watched Puppet Master: The Legacy, which is the 8th film, entirely in fastforward. Because it's only 70 minutes long, and it's composed almost entirely of recapping the entire franchise by including 3-4 entire scenes from each preceding film. That's the whole movie.

It's interesting and a little sad that so many people have their "ring of keys" moment when they come across a hateful or mean depiction of queer culture as satire and think, "well, what if this was genuine?", but I guess that's inevitable.
