And up in show biz heaven the ghost of Barnum says "A Sucker Is Still Born Every Minute"

 

 

 

OK,OK,I know that he probably never said that but I couldn't resist....

Coolio's art transcends description, it is both everything and nothing at once

Stilll amazed at how BAD Jackman sounds in that clip.

The guy has one hell of a good singing voice, what the hell  happened?

I disagree, Jackman's singing voice was fine in the film of "Les Miserables".

What fresh hell is this? Music should fit the movie / time period etc - just that clip drops my interest by a large amount and I love a good musical.

I thought this was a BP frontrunner or something...I must be out of the loop.

Not anytime recently  Word came out shortly before the trailer that the test screenings were shit.

It was meant by Fox to be an Award bait movie.....but has turned out to be something else. That happens with a couple of Oscar Bait movies every year;They turn out to be crap.

Poor Zac Efron. I feel like this and the Ted Bundy are his last chances at avoiding spending the rest of his career in obscurity (or at least until he's old enough that the dad roles come calling).

Ah, ok.

 

TBF YouTube made me watch a trailer for that awful Garfield Oscar bait and I was pleased to see that critics are finally calling a spade a spade with those movies.

Yup, when I started hearing about those poor screenings, I knew things wouldn't go over so well. Probably shouldn't have hired a visual effects supervisor to helm a "Broadway" style musical.

he needs to follow those twilight kids and be mediocre in a quiet indie movie from some auteur so critics can pretend he's suddenly a major talent.
