what has happened to the quality of movie musicals? why are they all crap now? what happened to movies like sound of music and singin' in the rain and annie? now we just get drivel like chicago and mamma mia! which i think should be renamed mamma mia? as in, really?
i do not understand the casting choices at all. pierce brosnan sounds like he is trying to be david bowie and looks like he's choking whenever he sings. meryl streep sounds like a cat in heat and everyone else is painful, too. good casting couldn't have saved the movie but it could have made it a lot more tolerable. ugh. just because you cast a big name actor, or just because meryl fucking streep wanted to do mamma mia does not mean that she would be the best choice or should even be a choice. it just sucks when there are so many talented actors with no work who really can sing and they chose name actors that just didn't fit.
not like the script was all that great. or the music for that matter. and i even like abba but god, what a chopjob. it was so bad.
oh well. i just miss the gold old days when actors could actually sing, dance, and act and people knew how to write stories and put them to music.
