2. wtf is wrong with musicals??!!?? |

"West Side Story" is one of the most amazing collaborations of genius (Bernstein, Sondheim, Jerome Robbins, Arthur Laurents) in the history of art itself. :-)

3. I want my movies to depict a remotely plausible universe. |
|
Time travel? OK. Faeries? OK. Olympian Gods? OK. Hero taking on 827,364 bad guys with two pistols? OK.
But random breaking into singing and dancing? Gag me with a spoon.

4. So I take it you would also look askance at "Grease"? |
|
Then there was this really famous Czech movie called "Boys in the Hops", I guess it would be, about a group of kids sent off to harvest hops as their "collective work".
You ain't lived until you've seen a bunch of people prancing around hop fields singing and dancing. Hop orchards? Hopyards?

5. Yes, I WOULD look askance at "Grease." |
|
Maybe I would tolerate that Czech movie if only for the weirdness factor. Then again, probably not.

7. No starvation. I love music. Just don't append "al" to it. |
|
Or if you do, make sure it's not a noun.
