I think it is difficult for many to keep track of all the screen names they have had and will continue to have. They should have been banned numerous times but continue to be able to change their name and continue as if nothing has happened."

Even I have this problem. I "hear" a different voice when the name changes. I'm grateful to people who point ou

Famed record producer Goddard Lieberson never liked dialogue on his cast albums. I mostly agree, but I think it's rather nifty how Shepard gave us an encapsulation of the play on his Spider Woman. And, of course, I think the difference between the days when people owned albums with a synopsis included, vs. today when people mostly download music with nothing else to go by than the numbers makes a difference in how the material

I’m sure this totally is upsetting to all involved as they were all obviously riding the wave of praise the film was receiving during their countless post-screening appearances. JLo’s delusional comments about her true

There are many flaws to this film: the movie-within-a-movie needs to have more of an MGM musical look or at least 20th Century Fox, Molina only describing one film, makingTonatiuh and Diego Luna characters in the movie, Molina doing the tango with Valentin instead of the Spider Woman, and many others: however, there are some really good moments: the prison scenes, &

How DARE an actress desire to stardom. I still haven't seen the movie but doesn't this describe the character--a B level movie star who never got beyond those movies?"

No, it doesn't, but the question isn't how DARE an actress desire stardom, anyway. The question is one of ego and whether the ego matches the ta

There were some beautifully filmed moments, but the only one who came through with some decent acting was Diego Luna. It was frustrating because it felt like there was an interesting story in there somewhere, but…oof, this wasn’t the one."


This makes me feel a little less crazy. I thought Diego cam

I’m sure they all hoped for the best numbers-wise, but being industry veterans, they probably weren’t naive enough to think this had any real shot at becoming a box office hit, especially after In the Heights and West Side Story, both Latino-led musical adaptations, flopped hard, even with way bigger names behind them, more recog

JLo is no Rita Hayworth, and Bill Condon is no director of musicals. He doesn't understand how to effectively shoot a number most of the time, and I don't think the fantasy sequences recreated MGM much at all, apart from "Gimme Love" which reminded me a little of the Gene Kelly/Cyd Charisse portion of the "Broadway Rythm/Broadway Melody" sequence in Singin' in the Rain (maybe the ending of "Only in the Movies" had a touch of the Faust number

With the exception of "So What?" I think the book songs to Cabaret are pretty mediocre, and I don't need another movie adaptation, especially since the original is a genuine masterpiece. I like characters bursting out into song, too, but Cabaret, Pennies From Heaven and Chicago all used the stage-performance-or-private-fantasy-as-metaphor to their advantage.

The wider audience seems to have a real problem with the traditional style, in spite of two sta
