I hate musicals. I never watched Glee. I only thought Once More With Feeling was okay. I like Crazy Ex-Girlfriend in theory but haven't watched since midway through the first season. I fell asleep trying to watch La La Land and the odds of me giving it another chance are directly proportional to whether or not my parents want to watch it when I'm visiting them. Needless to say, I'm not the target audience for Duet.
And, I mean, it's cool if you are. It's just that despite the countless hours that I, too, spent as a child watching musicals with my parents, it's the one piece...

I hate musicals. I really do. That said, I really only just hate musical numbers and love everything else they have to offer. Music aside, musicals typically have beautiful cinematography and an art style unmatched by most mainstream films. It was evident in Across the Universe, and it's evident in this new trailer for La La Land.
I told myself I wouldn't see another film musical, but then they put Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone together. That would've been enough but then they took it further by taking the writer and director from Whiplash, and dammit I'm going to be taking my wife to see a musical with a small hope that I won't end up being disappointed. Here's a description of the film...
Written and directed by Academy Award® nominee Damien Chazelle, La La Land tells the story of Mia [Emma Stone], an aspiring actress, and Sebastian [Ryan Gosling], a dedicated jazz musician,...

Have you heard the one about the kid named Jack who has to sell his pet cow, only to trade it for some beans? How about the little girl in a red hooded shrug that's off to visit her grandmother? Or maybe the servant girl who sneaks out to a Prince's ball, or the girl with the impossibly long hair that people use to visit her atop a doorless tower?
They're all here in "Into the Woods," Stephen Sondheim's cheeky mash-up of childhood fables; he takes the tone from the likes of the Brothers Grimm and Aesop, and twists it like the gnarled trees that serve as the setting for much of the production.
So, it's a musical? I hate musicals.
Yeah, not only that, but most of Sondheim's musicals are the equivalent of restaurant critic food. They're the molecular gastronomy of musicals, almost meta. They're musicals for people...

I don’t like musicals. In fact, I’d go as far as to say that I hate musicals. Even that one that you think I should see because it just might change my mind, no, I probably hate it. I couldn’t understand why everybody flipped over Repo. I watched it and wanted to turn it off the entire time. I never watched Johnny Depp in Sweeney Todd, I didn’t even bother watching Devil’s Carnival. The extent of my enjoyment of the musical ends in things like South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, Cannibal the Musical, The Wall, and that’s pretty much it. When I saw that Scream Factory were releasing Phantom of the Paradise, I had mixed emotions. I love Scream, so naturally I want to support one of their releases, and I love De Palma, so of course I want to see one...

Maybe what I'm about to say I'm only saying because I've been away too long (I'm back today from a three-month leave), but: Dear God, is the American musical in trouble or something? Worse still: Is it possible that a doggedly overwrought, diligently misconceived, nobly self-nullifying mini-opus like Far From Heaven is actually doing more damage to the form than slapdash commercial pap does? Pop trash doesn't have capability's power to repel, after all. It takes megatalents the size of Michael Greif, Scott Frankel, Michael Korie, and Richard Greenberg — working with a flawless cast and what appears to be near-perfect musical source material, filmmaker Todd Haynes's clever-but-never-too-clever, surprisingly heartfelt deconstruction of the Douglas Sirk weepie — to create a vacuum of these handsome dimensions, where all the signature gestures, musical and dramaturgical, serve only as you-are-here guidestars to the show's vast shallows. "God, I hate musicals," spat my seatmate, a...

In the previous review of "The Butterjunk Effect," I bemoaned that an episode focusing on the main Planet Express crew was quite lackluster.
This week's "The Six Million Dollar Mon" proves that Futurama can still be funny when the main cast takes center stage.
Hermes showed us why robotic implants are just trouble. Sure, it starts with the desire to launch a harpoon out of one's chest, but it always just goes quickly downhill. I mean, it always leads to becoming a giant dehumanizing death machine, without question. Great science-fiction like this does use the future to comment on the present, after all!
Hermes's enjoyment and tolerance of extremely spicy food is something I can relate to, though I would hope that my skin wouldn't cause robots to melt and to burn holes through people's bodies. Also, I hope that no one ever tries to eat my skin.

Full disclosure here. I hate musicals. Never have been my thing, and for many people they can well be an acquired taste. A few years back, with must insistence from my wife, I endured Mama Mia, and as much as I tried to dislike it, I found my foot tapping along. But I put it down to dementia. So if truth be told, I wasn’t much looking forward to checking out Rock Of Ages. Granted, its fantastic cast including Tom Cruise, Russell Brand, Alec Baldwin really piqued my interest. Either way, with a bunch of hesitation swelling and that constant hatred of musicals, I took my seat for Rock Of Ages. The Bourbon room, is the hottest place in L.A. A real Rock ‘n Roll dive. Run by Dennis and Lonny (Alec Baldwin and Russell Brand), this is The place to be. Not to mention the venue that...

Hollyoaks star Jennifer Metcalfe has revealed that she is keen to stick with the soap as she "never gets bored" in her role as Mercedes McQueen. The actress has portrayed her flirty soap character since 2006 and viewers are currently seeing Mercedes prepare to marry budding footballer Riley Costello, played by Rob Norbury. "Every day is amazing. Everyone is so close and every day is a buzz," Metcalfe told Heatworld of life at Hollyoaks. "The cast and crew are brilliant - it's like working with your best mates. "I never get bored or lose interest, so I would stay until who knows when! The stuff they cough up is just brilliant." She continued: "There's a lot of people in soaps who get comfortable and want to risk such a good job for Hollywood or music. I hate musicals - (more)...
