'Haven't seen' confessional

I admit I was apprehensive after that opening sequence but I love it now.

I went into Hedwig with the biased opinion that I was gonna hate it. Obviously I was wrong.

@Dani8 You should watch Hedwig and the Angry Inch if you haven't seen it. It's not a traditional musical. It's about a transsexual rock singer. Pretty much all of the singing happens during performances with her band or while she is writing/practicing her songs. Nobody breaks out into spontaneous song and dance in the middle of a conversation. And it's funny as hell.

I was thinking of watching La La Land tonight. Keep talking peeps, maybe you will talk me one way or another

Then I hope it will do the same for me. Seen a fair few foreign language films.

Just older films that were made before I was born I seem to have missed.

This was aimed at another Mofo.

I agree. It is hard not to bring some bias of course. If you go in looking for the flaws you find in that genre, you will find them and hate the movie.

If that's the case, then you should watch Hedwig, too.

Think you would love it.

I plan on it sometime.

I had never heard of that. If it doesnt use song for dialogue I'm fine with a movie showcasing singers and music. It's the sudden warbling and dance routines to tell the story.
Strangely enough, I like the song and dance numbers in Bollywood movies.

Well there's more to my disinterest in it than just its genre. I'm really not a fan of Ryan Gosling.

Very true, however I don't know Sarge's taste and it could be difficult to watch one room with 12 people. I just think for some films you have be in a certain state of mind, it's like you shouldn't watch 12 angry men coming tired from work or expecting to cheer you up.

I think you are going to like it. You should watch before Oscar chat and handing in your mofie noms. Break your theater streak for it. If you do I will let you pick my next three watches.

I'll watch La La Land this weekend. Manchester by the Sea it's my favorite best picture nominated so far. I hated Moonlight

I think it's worth a squizz, Rules. I don't think it deserved so many oscar noms but hell, I'm not on the panel so not up to me.

I still haven't seen either Moonlight or Manchester. Or The Handmaiden.

What did you hate about Moonlight? Mostly it gets good reviews. I haven't seen it.

Yeah, that's what turns me off of most musicals too. But no songs in place of dialogue in Hedwig.

I've never really watched a Bollywood movie. I've seen bits and pieces while eating at Indian restaurants. They look pretty, but I doubt I'd enjoy them.

I got into bollywood on overnight coaches in India. You don't really have any say in the matter. They always contain violence so you know if a song is annoying you still get a pay off.

I can't say without spoil the movie. But there's movies out there that there's much in common with Moonlight...
