The essential argument "Well, Chu obviously wanted her" doesn't really address the issue.I find her voicemore frustrating on the soundrack recording than while watching the movie, for obvious reasons. Sometimes I wish producers would embrace dubbing again. Felt the same way about James Corde

TellZ said: "I do not understand the mass kvetching about Morrible's singing in this movie. She sings for all of fifteen seconds and sounds fine, they autotuned her and she's easily on par with Emma Watson in Beauty and the Beast and Uma Thurman in The Producers. And those characters had full solo songs we all had to sit through.

Clearly Chu wanted Yeoh for her acting of the role, which can be debated on its own merits.

I was fine with her vocals,

Nah. He surely sees any soldier who died in combat as a loser. Won't want the association.

Auggie27 said: "I found his role in the second Wicked strangely truncated. But the film didn't know what to do with any of the supporting players in this second act masquerading as a sequel (and to me, the central trio could've used more interaction with other players). He has screen top at the top and then disappears, probably on the cutting room floor.

It crossed my mind that he was offered Maybe Happy Ending.

This Oscar Season Don’t Forget About ‘Kiss of the Spider Woman’

I've said it before, but once the movie came out,Tonatiuh has literrally been the sole voice keeping this name in anyone mind's. If they even put a couple of bucks into promotion, it would have at least been remembered by the Globes."

It's odd to me that it still isn't out on Blu-ray, making me wonder if they aren't going to bother. Kinda sucks, but i


Trump calls it the Trump Kennedy Center
 Dec 18 2025, 11:32:29 PM

For what it's worth--and maybe it's nothing--the board can't "decide" this. Only Congress can. Whether Congress will roll over for Trump, again, or if recent rebellions suggest they are sick of being his lapdog (not because they have a conscience, it just isn't as good for their election chances, anymore) is something we will have to wait to see.

It's a pretty good movie few saw and the Oscars will ignore. 


Kecia Lewis is offended again

Do we really need to relitigate the election because of some drama queen nonsense? Truly off the rails. People, please. 


Kecia Lewis is offended again

While watching dramas, I have heard music from adjoining theatres in the past, and they were from not musicals that blared like HK. I actually wore ear plugs during part ofAct 2 to muffle the volume a little, since it had given me a headache. I can imagine that tha


New Merrily Pro-Shot reviews

inception said: "Bear's comments about the release schedule are interesting. Here it played last weekendwith one showing a night at 7pm at a couple cinemas. It's not anywhere this weekend, but has an afternoon showing at one Vancouver cinema next Wednesday. They went to the trouble of filming this, but didn't really seem to want to give it a wide release."

It should have been done like the Met performances--just one showing on a specific night--or release


Should Chu Create a 3 Hour 'Director's Cut of Wicked
 Dec 11 2025, 11:51:15 AM

The real question is: should he have done so? It's too late now. The movies are what they are.

Intersting that some people are already rethinking their response to the first movie.

My guess is that for most Wicked fans, the movie is likely to stand the test of time alongside the stage show. But the larger audience who were swept up in the excitement of it all will probably look back on them with a "meh" response, much as I think the

Yes?


I am thinking that we should probably feel a little sorry

So... you think that it's okay topotentially have someone thrown in prison for years because you personally think they're a douche? That's what's kind of odd.

It's kind of odd that you think I should have empathy for him, which is rather something different than

No. The fact that my life would have been unjustlydestroyedif I were in a similar situation doesn't mean I take offense that reason prevailed in this situation. Quite the contrary, as I said above.
