Musical Mondays Off-Week 12 (SaraK's Pick)

Ha I'm traveling today so I had to be fast before I lost service! Good thing I'm starting in EST -
Musical Mondays Off-Week 12 (SaraK's Pick)
SaraK replied to Cameron H.'s topic in How Did This Get Made?
My pick is ---- That Thing You Do! From the brain of Tom Hanks comes a story about the one hit Wonders. Featuring a song you'll never get out of your head no matter how hard you try. When I was young, the library let you rent musicals for free (all other movies were one whole dollar to rent), so I rented this about a thousand times the summer the VHS came out. Its literally the first movie I thought of when I saw the Musical Monday threads. Also NSync sang a cover of that earworm song That Thing You Do! cementing my preteen love for them forever. -

That movie gave me nightmares. The amount of rats running around....*shudder* This movie wasn't much better. Rodents freak me out. -

My nephew is going through the same Thomas death. Right now he is ALL IN on Paw Patrol. But if you pull out his Thomas toys, he'll play with them and he still likes trains (but also trucks, cars and anything with tires). He never really watches the show itself any more, though he did see a Thomas train at the mall the other day and completely lost it. -

There were so many characters in this movie. And we really sped through all of Feizel's orphan options - the helpful stranger (pigeon), the crooked stranger that led to a brief moment of indentured servitude, street life with friends, a small time hero and then completely orphaned from everyone. it had a lot of plots in such a short movie -

Also, that baby disappears at some point. Either they're just leaving it at home while they do poor mouse things, or that bottle feeding did not work out. (I did not see any squeals, so no clue if it returns at some point) -

I think the original series is on Netflix if you have that. -
Musical Mondays Week 12 An American Tail (and Squeakquels)
SaraK replied to Cameron H.'s topic in How Did This Get Made?
As someone who found a mouse that had drowned in her dog's water dish recently (and yes, it was traumatizing and I'm still not over it) I found this to be the least believable part of the movie. No mouse could survive that journey to shore. Especially since the bottle he was in was also full of water. -

The proportions in this movie were all over the place. I couldn't get a handle on how big any animal really was here. The cats went from giants to mouse sized very easily. The pigeons I think did too. I don't think I ever saw this movie as a kid, so I have no nostalgic ties to it, but the music seems almost an afterthought in here. Like they realized it was super dark and kind of scary for kids, so they decided to add songs into it to liven it up. I don't know, the tone was really bizarre. -

I LOVE Anastasia. I mean it's a fantastic movie but also because I had a huge crush on Dimirti (if you can crush on cartoons). -

Why were cartoon movies so sad when I was a kid?! Add the Brave Little Toaster into the mix, and I was apparently crying through all my childhood cartoons. -

I really really don't understand Zydrate. I don't know why it connects to surgery or why you can get a good quality sample from dead bodies. I feel like its supposed to be something like heroin, but to my knowledge, you can't harvest heroin from a dead body. Maybe you can. I'm not a scientist.- 208 replies

I didn't like anyone's singing but I think that has more to do with the song structures than anything else. The grave robber, Blind Mag and Sorvino all had moments where they hit a few nice notes in a row or an actual melody emerged in the song where I thought "oh maybe they really can sing". And then it would fall apart immediately after that. I'm not surprised a couple people have decent voices in real life.- 208 replies

Were his surgeons responsible for her face falling off? Or was that part of the original damage from the back alley surgeon?- 208 replies

My song that's always in my head is the Growing Pains theme song. Also when I'm hungry, I always think "I'm starving like Marvin girl" and finish the rest of the lyrics of Shake Ya Tailfeather without fail. -

I don't really understand why you would repo an organ. Is it to be used on someone else? Because if so, they likely shouldn't rip it out of someone and carry it around. If its just to punish a person for not paying, well, now they're never going to get money. The person is dead. Why not just cut off a finger or something to 'warn' them?- 208 replies

The siblings were really out of left field - especially in the warehouse/stockroom scene where one murders a woman for fun but its treated like a joke- but I also was very confused by their parentage. Are they kids of the woman that Giles stole from their father? Or did their mother die?- 208 replies

If anyone in this movie could sing, it might be more captivating. The brothers especially were terrible voices. Paris did better than I thought, but that's not saying much Not to dwell too much on the medicine of this world, but why would Shilo have plastic sheets all around her bed when she's allowed to just get up and walk around her room and house? And she wears a mask for that weird tunnel between her house and mom's crypt, but never outside and not in the crypt itself? Also, the song about turning 17 made me legitimately laugh out loud when it started. And then the slap made me laugh again.- 208 replies

I have not heard of this at all, but the fact that the poster says "from the producers of SAW" makes me a little wary.
