Posted: 5/8/06 at 8:37pmWhy do I get the scary feeling that some people on here are grading shows they have not seen....

Posted: 5/8/06 at 9:14pmI graded all and only the shows I have seen. And I agree, that I have not really seen a show yet that I did not like. Maybe I make good choices or maybe I am just easy to please. Either is fine with me.

Posted: 5/8/06 at 9:21pmugh, i wish i were like that, i try to find positive things in the shows i didn't enjoy, but overall if i enjoyed 5 minutes out of 3 hours, it means the show wasn't good enough for me.

Posted: 5/9/06 at 12:38amYeah, I've liked everything I've seen except for 42nd Street and Bombay Dreams. But I actually enjoyed myself somewhat at Bombay Dreams, but I wanted to claw my own eyes and ears out during 42nd Street. (Both of those were tours though)

Posted: 5/9/06 at 12:42amRentboy, when you saw Bombay Dreams, you said you liked it and now you hated it? LOL!!!

Posted: 5/9/06 at 12:47amAnyways, i am glad we agree on "The Wedding Singer" ! i went to see it again, i couldn't get enough of it. And even if you didn't love "Bombay Dreams" at least you got to see it.

Posted: 5/9/06 at 2:16amI just didn't like it. I couldn't understand what they were saying, the singing wasn't good, the story was bland, and the acting was too over the top. And after doing some reading, I understand that that style of acting is intentional, but I didn't care for it. And I didn't like how the stage hands moved things, it was too distracting. But don't feel bad, I'm glad I saw it. Plus, my sister's new favorite song is "shakalaka Baby"
