  1. @keysersoze123 What are your plans for AMC 25 for the rest of the year? I'm debating about adding it back into my tracking for JUST the smaller movies. Also -- @Everyone: I'm debating about if I should expand the Cinemagic Theaters. I'm tracking 3 of their 8 that are all in NE. Or should I forgo that and just pick up AMC Boston Commons?
  2. Says the man who forgets to @ me when talking about Chris Evans
  3. Nothing will disrupt Cats OW. Not on my watch.
  4. Thank you to those that put my name forward and convinced me to apply.
  5. Based off the Weekend Thread, it seems like a bunch of users watched Judy this weekend. (Yay!) I figured this is a good time to bring this article back out: EW.com: 8 Essential Judy Garland Movies That Aren't The Wizard Of Oz Their picks are: For Me and My Gal Girl Crazy Meet Me in St. Louis The Pirate A Star Is Born (1954) Summer Stock They also include two of her non-musicals, The Clock and Judgment at Nuremberg. So if you're looking for some good musicals or to dive deeper into her work, this is a pretty good start. Even if they left of Easter Parade which is a personal favorite:
  6. Nah. Her body language and performance was 100% Garland at that stage in her life. Come Rain or Come Shine and Over The Rainbow we’re spot on for not “sounding” like Garland. The Truth is Liza is the only one that has ever come CLOSE to matching Garland’s tone. Or maybe Jim Bailey. And the movie takes place in 1969 as Thiiiiiis. This. Even if someone has sounded exactly like Garland, or they had dug up old sound from Garland’s performances, it still would not have sounded like say The Wizard of Oz. By the end of her life, she was basically talk-singing Over The Rainbow.
  7. Also don’t forgot that often on CBMs weekend or anything people think “will be a cluster” some times folks just avoid the thread. The Joker thread, the Franchise War Thread, and the Joker Review Thread have all been super active this weekend. ETA: Missed you.
  8. I have never, and I will never, see either of those movies. 🥺
  9. Yes. They did. Most traumatizing damn thing ever. Everyone in my like second grade class was crying when we watched it.
  10. Get Happy. My God, Get Happy. Same I laughed SO HARD at her aside about "and the judy garland produced this video of Judy and Babs that I watch like once a week" cause: Same girl. Same. Only mine is: I loooove how because I read @Fancyarcher's post, I thought you were talking about Judy. I went, "Yeah, I think I liked it about the same as Endgame, too, and want to take my Mom like tomorrow to see it again. Then I was like. Oh. Wait.
  11. They literally did that. Judy Collins in Me and My Shadows. Well it's comprehensives, it's not necessarily good. It's falls into the biopic trap of feeling like a recap of her life than anything else. Also the sound mixing on the production is terrible so when they use Garland's voice for dubbing, it's soooo clearly dubbed that I find it distracting. I would rather have it be Renee singing, even if she's NOT Judy Garland, because as let Renee singing felt like Judy's essence. I really felt her Come Rain or Shine. Also, at that point in Garland's career, her voice was in rough, rough shape. So Renee being off isn't really inaccurate.
  12. Be Kind Rewind just posted a 20 minute companion video to Judy, and I'm like, this is why you're my favorite Channel on YouTube. I'm just going to link it, cause it does spoiler the movie, including the ending, but like, the level of STANNING in this is glorious. Even If I disagree with her on her complaints about the film, mostly that it should have been a more standard biopic, and that they should have dubbed Renee. But she did make a good point: The lack of backstory/establishing Judy Garland as a legend didn't bother me, because I know Judy Garland and her history. So I wonder if that will affect others opinions on it?
