Next countdown vote (May '24)

I didn’t vote for either musicals or 90s because I’m not enthusiastic about either of them, but if I could put my vote behind one it would be 90s. I will definitely vote in a 90s countdown, but whether I vote in a musicals one depends on the voting parameters.

Also, I’d rather wait until next year to do a musicals countdown, on the off chance that I really like Joker 2 and want to vote for it.

Okay. The underdog nature of all that appealed to me. Voted.

Joker 2 is a musical. Who would have thought.

I’ll give you Z Wheeler for practically nothing if you vote for Musicals.
Now that’s a bribe!

I know, I keep forgetting. Makes my reluctance full blown pessimism. That trailer is really bad too. I will still see it of course.

I have never forgotten that it's a musical. Weird that you think the trailer is bad. I think it's quite good. I was very pessimistic about the movie, but the trailer gave me a tiny bit of hope that I might actually like it.

It just felt like so many call backs to the first one. I am kind of nostalgia burnt out. Plus I am over Harley Quinn, but that’s probably just a result of despising Suicide Squad. Everything except Phoenix just screams miss, but Phoenix is usually enough to put my butt in the seat.

I never saw Suicide Squad. I generally avoid anything superhero related that isn't Pixar and doesn't star Joaquin Phoenix so I never had any interest in it. I'm sure Gaga's Harley will be a different take on the character than Robbie's anyway.

Musicals has taken a commanding lead! Time to call it. Musicals win!

Part of my thought process right now is that Musicals fans have been waiting for this, so I imagine even taking second and being all-but-promised the right to go next would probably leave them pretty happy, regardless.

I've seen at least 350 musicals and rated 50 of them a 9/10 or higher.

Wow! You're going to be my go-to person for musical recommendations.

I'm always happy to recommend musicals

I already have a solid top 10, so I'd definitely need your helps with filling it up throughout the group watch thread, assuming musicals win.

It's a long shot.

Are film operas considered musicals?

If musicals win, 90's refresh should be the next countdown after it, imo. I don't mind if Musicals win this one, might as well have it the next countdown so we can get one of my least favorite movie genres out of the way.
