The 'Musicals Suck' Thread
rancidhooligan:
I can give Spamalot a pass, since it's a "musical" that's just songs from Monty Python. That's doesn't technically qualify, IMHO, but whatever.
So, there are two "musicals" I suppose are okay.

I mean, I'm not writing a thesis here. I started this thread as a lark. I found what Jeph said amusing so I started a thread based on it. I'm not out here trying to defend the position, "Musicals Suck," with any seriousness but I do find them simplistic and they offend my musical tastes.

That's cool. I guess what I was trying to say was that the extended sexual metaphors were superfluous once you established that musicals sucked.
rancidhooligan:
Extended superfluous sexual metaphors are one of life's great pleasures when done correctly, my friend. Rereading my first post in this thread, it becomes apparent that, due most likely to the fact I am quite tired at present, my metaphors were rather pedestrian. You have my sincere apologies for the banal phrases which "graced" my opening post. I shall endeavor to use more inspired prose in the future.
Por ejemplo, instead of saying

I should have said something along the lines of

Now that's an superfluous extended sexual metaphor!
MOO!
vgaer:
Rent. Les Miserables.
I love musicals.
rancidhooligan:
Rent... no.
Les Miserables? Not only no but hell to the no. Fist of all, it's title is in French. I do not speak French, I do not wish to learn French, I do not enjoy much French cooking and I think Le Tour Eiffel is affreux. Some of their music is okay, I really like French bread, their wine is amazing and they made one of my top ten favorite cars of all time... oh, sorry... I didn't mean that to turn into an indictment of French culture. I'm not one of those stupid French-hating red staters (though I do live in a red state, much to my chagrin) who wanted french fries to be called "freedom fries" even though "french" refers to the style of cut, or the manner of cooking, rather than the origin of said delicious snack, which may, in fact, be Belgium.
I might read the book but I don't think I'd ever watch the Les Miserables in musical form.
