Not the genre I'm most familiar with, tbh. Maybe the movie would seem weaker to me if I watched 20-50 more musicals I haven't seen.
I suppose that's true. Maybe I just find every character dull and annoying.

Musicals have a lot of value, they can provide serious insight on philosophical quandaries and explore rich and innovative musical concepts in a very poignant way that you'll be hard pressed to find on albums or in a concert. I'm pretty sure you can see where I'm going with this so I'll just come out and ask: have you seen Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny?

Lol no. But I did watch School of Rock. Which I guess wasn't a musical, but just a movie about music now that I think about it. I think Jack Black and Tenacious D are generally best enjoyed in very small doses.

Very different movies. Ja The Pick of Destiny isn't very good except for the shrooms scene, you're better off watching their shorts or listening to their albums. Actually, listening to the soundtrack is probably more rewarding than watching the movie tbh. I was way into it in high school though.

I've watched "Lee" and "Tribute" several times. I'm ok with Tenacious D on that level. They're not even bad songs without the funny lyrics.

Watched Clown (2014) yesterday. I don't know why I do this to myself. (Maybe it was just sleep deprivation, but I found it hilarious, especially when they'd get into the finer details of clown biology/ancient secret Clown Lore.)

On an early Tarantino binge. His first 5 films are ****ing flawless.

Had lunch a table over from Robert Forster a few years back and raved to him about Jackie Brown and Breaking Bad. Dude could not have been cooler. Just an awesome celebrity encounter.
