*sigh*  just when we having a serious conversation.  oh well.  : (

Just because some folks are talking recipes, doesn't mean you have to change the subject as well.

And while we are on the subject of spaghetti plays and musicals, is there someone who can explain the appeal of the musical?  I don't really get it.  Of course, I have enjoyed a bunch of operas, so maybe I am not really giving musicals a chance.

Put me in the "hate musicals" category.

Although I do love Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog, does that count?

There are some emotions best expressed through song/music?

Oh, sure.  I think thats why I like opera.  It just has a power or an oomph to it.

Doctor Horrible rules.

The ending is typical Joss, he's at a point where I'd be more shocked if he didn't kill someone off, but it was rather necessary to complete the storyline of becoming a villain.

Joss and his brothers have a real knack for coming up with catchy and memorable songs with clever lyrics that can get stuck in your head forever.  See the Buffy musical episode for a comparison . . .

Musicals can be good if they are cheesy fun and don't take themselves too seriously - like Repo or Across the universe or indeed Dr Horrible.

I find it odd that you would like operas but not musicals.   I would like operas if they were in English.   But since most operas aren't, I have too much difficulty understanding what is going on.   It is like trying to watch a foreign language film without the subtitles.  But I do like the music.

exactly.

I have sinned.

I bumped up a stupid thread from 6 years ago.

I think you can be forgiven as long as you aren't the one who first made the thread.

no, there is no forgiveness for him.   I hereby demand that he be cast into hell for his sin.

Noooooooooooooooooooooo!

Stanley Kubrick ruined an innocent little 50's musical for me.

Hey, that makes an interesting title...

Oh god.  The musical commentary for Dr. Horrible crax'd me up.  It's just that awesomely bizarre.

I only see one Starbuck in the picture.   Who's the girl?
