Question for my fellow Cinephiles (3 Viewers)

[baarbogast]

which brings up another question. Why are musicals so polarizing. I enjoyed Annie when I was a kid. Wizard of Oz is probably my favorite movie of all time. But I can’t really think of another one I enjoyed. If you are acting and suddenly the whole set breaks out in song and dance, my suspension of disbelief is toast. Why can’t I buy into This being normal life behavior?

Rocky Horror Picture Show

But a kid from queens bitten by an irradiated spider and gaining super powers seems normal?

nope but that is just me. I’m sure some find that normal without normalizing the sing dance stuff.

I obviously like singing and I can like dancing. I just can’t mix em up in movies. Unless it’s like White Nights. Now that I loved ..old old movie

Technically BTTF *is* an old movie.. especially when you consider that we’re well further into the ‘future’ from 1985 than Marty was into the past when he traveled back to 1955.

We are also further into the future than Marty was into the future when he went to the future from 1985.

In 2021, sure. I wouldn't even bat an eye if that happened.

I could probably explain better what it is I don’t like about them if I actually watched some. Maybe.

vintagecinephobics always start with “I have lots of old movie friends..” when they are about to bash.

old movies make me sleepy. There it’s out in the open.

And I thought I knew you.

 

[Madmarsha]

Far worse is “I love old movies like Back to the Future”

AAAAAA-WOMEN!

 

[DaveXA]

I liked My Fair Lady. So one of the rare real oldies I've watched.

Ugh.

I like old movies because when someone says "It doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world", I'm glad I get the reference.

I do completely agree with that. And I hate that now we're making everything musicals. Spiderman The Musical. Seussical the Musical.

Springtime for Hitler.
