The 'Musicals Suck' Thread
Hat:
i'm trying to figure out whether it would have been better for you to bitch about how much you hate musicals in the perfectly good musicals thread we already have, or to stink up the forum with an entirely new thread dedicated to talking about how shit they are.
I really can't decide! They're both terrible options!
Jackie Blue:
I don't want thiis thread to die because it is awesome to watch you make an ass of yourself.

And lyrics by the "other" Gershwin! Why do people always forget about Ira? He was just as talented as George. Do people just forget about him because he didn't die tragically young? Show Ira Gershwin some love!
greenMonkey:
I apologize, I should have written the Gershwins.
Also, this thread is home to what I think is a fairly well written investigation of musicals. Why can't we discuss why we dislike musicals in an intellectual manner similar to how I expressed my views?
Lines:
Oh man, this thread. It's both simultaneously hilarious to watch you dig a little hole for yourself and also make me want to say, "Fuck you, I like musicals." I understand they aren't for everyone, but until you (you as in people in general) actually see them, you do not know the difference between a good musical and a bad musical.

This was probably one of the stupidest reasons I've ever heard for not wanting to see a musical. No shit the title is French, the book was French. It's a fantastic story and the music is amazing. Now if music from musicals isn't your thing, fine, then say that's the reason, but wasting time typing up a paragraph about how it's French when the musical itself is in ENGLISH makes no fucking sense.
So really, unless you want to get somewhere with this conversation, which as of now it doesn't look like you do, quit whining about it. Go outside and get some fresh air or something more worthwhile than trying to annoy people, which honestly is the only successful bit of this thread.
