Mamma Mia OMIGODMYEYESANDEARS

Last night, Glenn decided we needed a cuddle-and-watch a movie night.

So popped in Mamma Mia, which he bought for mindless costume shop watching when it came out on DVD this Tuesday

The singing wasn't THAT bad.

Except for Pierce Brosnan.

The singing wasn't bad. It was the orchestrations and arrangements which were hideous and lazy.

i dunno, sweeney todd was pretty must destroyed by our friend tim burton, who i normally love.

[thespisgeoff]

Once I adjusted my expectations from "Sweeney Todd" to "Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd," I was okay with that one.

Barely.
But okay with it.

Plus? Sasha Baron Cohen, bitches.

I never liked the actor who played Dakin in the History Boys, so there's nothing for me in this. I may just be the only gay man who doesn't like him, though.

*LOL*

I used to have a big crush on Brosnan and really don't want that ruined so I'm staying far away.

I hear Meryl was good though.

[thespisgeoff]

All three points are sane; I had no lust for Dakin until the actor became one of the only points of light for me in this mess.

I'm ignoring Christine Baranski in it, because she's too damn good for this shit.

I took it one step further, and comforted Abba Oro.

Do you think people like Mama Mia? I mean the version you saw.

[thespisgeoff]

Some folks I knew loved it loved it, saw it multiple times.

Me? Not so much.
