WTF she doesn't know me at all!

My wife of 18 years, been together 26 years, today made me sit through La La Land because she thought I would like it as it has "awards and stuff"
Thank god for iPad

Have you previously shown an interest in show tunes?

N00bs, I insisted her and her mother saw that together without my involvement. It was agreed in advance I probably would not enjoy it.

I tired to watch it on my own Think I saved some man points by turning it off fairly early on

I like musicals. Phantom, Evita, Les Miserables etc, but only at the theatre.

I will give La La land a go when it's on the TV

I never really got in to the whole musicals thing, The Wizard of Oz was massively over rated IMO, only movies I think I would watch until they wore out were little shop of horrors and the rocky horror picture show

[hellkat]

If someone asked me, Do You Like Musicals? Then I'd say "Nah, not really".

But when I think about what musicals I've seen that I like, then ... yeah, sure: I like the Sound of Music, the Wizard of Oz, Oliver, and Mary Poppins, and I love Rocky Horror, and (a really rare one) Phantom of the Paradise, a 70s rip-off of Phantom of the Opera. Les Mis was alright, I quite enjoyed that, I suppose. I especially love Grace Kelly in High Society, and I like all that Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers stuff, and all those ladies with nose clips in the water doing star-bursts - but to me, its mostly about nostalgia.

So I wouldn't go out of my way to watch something like La La Land, unless it was on the screen in front of me.

Strange.. I'm a fan of musicals (no shame!) but my boyfriend made me watch this as he had heard such good things about it, and it won awards, and stuff...

I never had any desire to see it but thought "oh, alright then."

We both said it was rubbish by the end. It was a pile of nostalgia for the "good old days" of Hollywood with very "pat our backs, look how good it is" content all based off the actual good stuff from dozens of years ago when technicolour was first making it's appearance.

... Such a shame. It was nothing new, and had a horrid ending.

Would not recommend. And this is coming from a female who, supposedly, should be "absolutely in love with this classic in the making".

He's just like one of those boys who writes "Poo" with their own poo on the walls of primary school toilets.

We've had worse.
In fact, at times he's downright amusing.
But don't tell him I said so
