Again, I didn't like it, but it was incredibly successful at what it set out to do artistically. I didn't think it was terribly interesting or original in what it was trying to do... butit was incredibly successful at what it set out to do artistically.

 

Barbie was a once in a lifetime phenomenon that was a product of marketing and a real lack of competition at the time. Beyond that it was a terrible movie with manipulative characters and oversaturated graphics that look like a clown threw up

Yup, $1 billion at the box office and a Best Picture nomination. Such a misfire.

If you knew anything about the film industry… The box office is irrelevant given how much money they spent on marketing… Yes The movie made money… And the Oscar nomination means absolutely nothing look at this year’s lineup… When you have a film like Anora -  junk… That wins best picture… It all means nothing… Barbie will not be remembered in the history of film as anything but a moment in time

WHERE IS IT?! There are quite a few posters Id like to block  real bad. I used to just scroll past posts from certain people but now I’m ready to take advantage of the block!

Can it be accessed from the app or do you need to be on the website because for some reason I can’t log in on the website saying my password and email are wrong.

I don't know about the app, I only use the website on my phone, but if you go to your Account and go to Settings, there is an option under Message Board that says "Block Message Board Users." You'll have to paste in the name of the user you want to block.

BOOP last night...

An assault on the senses. 

BOOP! The Musical steamrolls onto Broadway like a high-speed Bullet train! With such ferocity, one would think the cast would be fired if not giving 125%. Director Jerry Mitchell’s frenetic direction comes at you fast and furious.

This cast is working at warp speed to give life to a sometimes funny, sometimes not book by Bob Martin.

Kudos to Jasmine Amy Rogers (Boop) for navigating the difficult balance between character, caricature and cartoon. She’s a real find and terrific here. A true triple threat! If only she was given more stage time and something better to work with, especially in a meandering 2nd Act.

A big disappointment is the lack of chemistry between Rogers and Ainsley Melham as love interest Dwayne. In spite of Melham's talent (he can sing and dance), he's a bit of a bore, and drags down every scene he is in. When Erich Bergen, who plays a sleazy mayoral candidate has more stage presence and pizazz than your leading man, you may want to reconsider your casting choice. Playing opposite Rogers’ larger than life star turn is a big assignment. Big!

Tony-winner Faith Prince and supporting players Stephen DeRosa, Angelica Hale, and Anastacia McCleskey are fine, and each have their moment to shine.

Rogers deliciously delivers on composer Stephen Foster’s “Where I Want To Be’ and “Something to Shout About,” yet the rest of the score is merely serviceable. The orchestra is led by Rick Fox and is terrific.

The production numbers look like they were choreographed by different people, resulting in a mash-up of slapdash movement performed with community theatre-like gusto by the NYC denizens. Showcasing the Red Stairs in Times Square and not utilizing them to better effect was an epic fail in the choreography department. The old idiom “too many cooks…” applies here.

Scenic design by David Rockwell and lighting by Philip S. Rosenberg add zest to the colorful palette of this cartoon short in search of a feature film.
