    I like this movie a lot. The music is good. It looks great.

    But Barnum sold his "freaks" on their physical differences and racist ideas. He didn't think of them as family. He profited off of them and treated them horribly. I'm kind of fine, or at least understand, whitewashing a movie to make a real life person seem not so monstrous by the cultural standards of today. I'm not fine changing that person to a champion of equal rights.

    That is the reality of the situation but we went to the movie to be entertained. They white washed the facts but we do know them. We know about Christopher Columbus but he still has a day🤷🏾‍♀️. So I mean I just enjoyed the family movie. And if I remember correctly he was embarrassed of them at some point. Not a lecture just a different point of view promise. History is tainted with so much blood I just wanna escape and sing a happy song.

    I dont think this has been posted yet (it was mentioned in a few other threads, but the title being made of small common words makes it hard to search for)

    So I just watched the trailer for the first time, and it makes it sound like its trying to be a girly Ferris Beauler's Day Off, and it is so very much not.

     

    For starters: there is actually a very small amount of "girls having fun" in it.

    Secondly: fun isn't even remotely the point, nor is being rebellious, its all about a dance contest.

     

    A contest with seemingly no rules or organization, where you can turn up with your own dance partner or not and its still apparently random who you'll dance with (which is how our 2 heroes are brought together), or maybe bring a couple of partners (in the case of "paul rust and the miss cleos"), whatever. underage? they couldn't give a shit.

    This is a dance contest to be on a dancing TV show. A dancing TV show which brings you the latest in dancing news...DAILY. Its a daily show, its on every freakin day (mon-sat at least, no mention of a Sunday show, but I can only assume its there).

     

    So in essence this movie boils down to a couple things, bottomlessly terrible and incredibly flamboyant dance numbers/training montages, and stupid interactions of the characters as they form relationships and rivalries seemingly at random.

     

    Also, stupid clothes. Basically everything Helen Hunt wears is seemingly picked at random by going blind into a thrift store and anything she touches she puts on her body somehow (whether its clothes or not).

    From her giant yellow shirt with no back and giant toy grasshopper stuck on her head combo,

    to her furtrapping clown ensemble

    Not to mention her troll hair, velcro reversible schoolgirl skirt, and other things. And shes not the only fashion disaster (this is a dance movie after all, so theres plenty of goofy costumes)

     

    Just some random things this movie has: gymnastic nun, baby pizza, gay circus party crashers, peeping on naked siblings, offensive stereotypes, dance rape ala crossroads, SJP seemingly needing a pee in every scene, so many montages, torching a dog, and neon pink credits.

     

    I believe its on netflix instant (according to some site which lists those, but I dont have it to check), its also on Amazon instant but not on the prime (it is on youtube in full though), or you can pick it up at Cannes in the Helen Hunt movie section.

     

    (and i'll admit, i cheated and watched with a rifftrax - http://www.rifftrax....ack-productions )

    I’m so confused. This must be my drop dead Fred because this movie is fun. Dance contest......fun! boys...........fun! teenage rebellion and 80s clothes and music...........FUN!

    Description

    On the night of the 2016 Presidential election, Cass, an LA club promoter, takes a thrilling and emotional journey with Frida, a Midwestern visitor. She challenges him to revisit his broken dreams, while he pushes her to discover hers.

     

    The premise is terrible. The acting is even worse. The background use of text messages. It has the longest Uber drive where absolutely nothing happens. 

    Just look:

    You are only a few posts old but already bringing the heat. Bless you.

    Fun fact, me and some other bad-movie-loving friends went to see Crossroads in the theatre when it came out. All of us were well into our twenties (at least) and we laughed and mocked the film among ourselves at the back while some poor twelve-year-old girls and their moms tried to enjoy it. We were dicks, basically.

    I did that at 2 Fast 2 Furious.

    I bought Geostorm because of the podcast and its the best decision I've ever made. Is it still fun to listen to others tear them to shreds tho. Absolutely.

    I think it sets a really bad precedent that being annoying will change the show in your favor.

    If Paul had been open to it, that would be one thing. He was very clear about not wanting to do it. So, unless the bit gets bigger, let it go.

    low key would love if it was really Michael Bay or Michael Bay takes credit for it.
