I just finished watching The Sound of Music.
I have a theory: if you like it, you're alright. If you don't, you're a pretentious, alternative, gothic, lame-brained sicko. But I could be wrong. Am I? Jeff |

But that's beside the point. (Or is it?) Jeff |

The hills are alive with the sound of music because I just buried the Backstreet Boys alive.

Sorry, but somehow the attitude just oozes from the script:
"Get ready ... wait a minute, CUTE! ["Awwwww!"] - now, here it comes ... ready ... CRY! Gotcha! (Stupid audiences, they'll do anything we tell 'em)" |

I always get this film mixed up with Mary Poppins and think they did a singing routine with cleaning and pulling out big things from small bags. And then they float of to there standing ovation with umbrella's.

Guess that makes me a sicko! I don't have much use for the overwhelming majority of films in which people spontaneously break into song.

Guess they forgot to tell Bill Buckley. "...as we reason and love, we are able to hope. And hope enables us to resist those things that would enslave us." |

I was Rolf, the young telegram deliverer/future Nazi in a production when I was actually 17 going on 18.
Here are a couple of "special" trailers for SOM, and my other favorite, Mary Poppins. Bet you didn't know they were originally intended to be scary thrillers: http://youtube.com/watch?v=lRZ8iq6sukA http://youtube.com/watch?v=2T5_0AGdFic
My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her. AKA "The Evil Ball of Fur".

First movie I ever took a girl to, was years later before I got to watch it and know the story.

I like musicals. I'm not crazy about SOM. It's not actually <bad> like say "The Music Man" which I consider one decent song looking for a musical to be in. I think my favorite film musical right now would still be "Singing In The Rain," with "Chicago" coming up a close second. My wife's are "Rent" and "Hairspray." All bets are off when "Sweeny Todd" comes out in December!
I'm sorry they never finished filming "Into The Woods."

I am very afraid of what they'll do to "Sweeney Todd."
One musical I like a lot, with a film that got (IMO) undeserved bad-reviews: "A Little Night Music." Trying very hard, and enjoyable if you surrender to it (and believe it or not I've seen high-school groups try it including full-size sinking ship) "Titanic the Musical" You want sweet? Really, genuinely sweet (instead of saccharine)? "The Light in the Piazza" - just wonderful! Then, of course, there's "Avenue Q", which probably gives fans of traditional "safe for dinner theater" musicals the jitters. Hilarious! |

Maybe I listen to the music with different ears. I don't just hear what's there, but what *could* be there. A heavy metal version of SOM would blow everyone's socks off.
Listen, everyone, in your minds. It's Metallica! They're singing: You are sixteen going on seventeen Baby, it's time to think Better beware be canny and careful Baby, you're on the brink I'd pay good money to hear it. Jeff |
