Musical Mondays Off-Week 13 (EternalSammich's Pick)
EternalSammich replied to Cameron H.'s topic in How Did This Get Made?
Ahhh I'm sorry I'm so late.... I hope it's okay that I decided to pick Brian DePalma's Phantom of the Paradise. It's kind of a phantom of the opera rock music movie. It's kind of a quirky 70's cult film. It's rentable from Amazon video. I kind of hope this pick is ok. -
Can we please retire Fast and Furious from HDTGM?
EternalSammich replied to balmersmack's topic in How Did This Get Made?
I've never watched a Fast and the Furious film, sometimes I'll listen to the podcasts. I listened to this one. I do think it's true that they are a bit dull with the constant gushing. They genuinely like these films. I will say, however, that if they like it and fans overall like it, I don't see a reason to stop making them. I appreciated June's fear of self-driving cars in this episode at least. -
Musical Mondays Week 10 High School Musical 1 & 2...maybe 3
EternalSammich replied to Cameron H.'s topic in How Did This Get Made?
This film was so cheesy but I can't help but genuinely find some of the tunes catchy. I thought it was pretty cool that at one point Taylor remarks on how the sports get too much funding. I really kind of wished the movie would go into that more and the school's obsession with the basketball team. I don't think that the whole "status quo" thing really happens too much in real life. At least I remember the smarter kids also being in cheerleading or sports or the arts, etc. As mentioned before, people aren't one dimensional. They have multiple interests. I'll echo what Jammer said in that I think it would've been far more interesting if Taylor had a genuine crush on Gabriella and I think Ryan coming out as gay would've been awesome. I really don't understand why Disney was okay with the weird incesty twin siblings. Did they not notice while it was being made? I thought it was amusing that right before the big game Troy's dad is like "You know what, son? You just go and have fun!" even though the majority of the movie he's screaming at Troy to get his head in the game. Even screaming at Gabriella for showing up on the basketball court as some sort of temptress that will distract Troy from basketball. (He at least thought it was her fault that Troy ended up in detention...) Why did Troy have a secret spot in the garden that the rest of the team instantly knew about when they had to look for him later on in the film? Why can't Ryan read? How did he get into high school and read for musicals if he can't read those t-shirts? So many questions..... -
Musical Mondays Off-Week 9 (JammerLea's Pick)
EternalSammich replied to Cameron H.'s topic in How Did This Get Made?
As Jammer said, it was our first time watching the movie without jokes. I'm finding it both silly and enjoyable! As for the previous question. I was also a Visual Arts major, so I never got to be in the performing arts but it seems cool. -
Musical Mondays--Rotation and Sign Up
EternalSammich replied to Cameron H.'s topic in How Did This Get Made?
I, too, would like to be more active. I'm more of a lurker. I've watched a lot of the musicals suggested and just haven't participated in the conversations here yet. I'll try. Especially for High School Musical.- 83 replies

Growing up my mom had Grease on VHS so I was familiar with it. I never saw the sequel film until today (Thanks, Netflix). Wow. I can't get over the bowling alley spinning and the reproduction number. I feel a bit embarrassed for some of the actors who were in the first film and reprise their roles for this one. Why did the T Birds want to partake in the talent show? Why was Maxwell Caulfield considered just "kinda cute"? What happened after he jumped over the ridge on his motorcycle? (Did I miss the explanation??) I'm looking forward to the episode.
