I love Carousel.




Then again, I'm gay as a gaytor.

I grew up with my older siblings constantly listening to the soundtracks from The Sound of Music, West Side Story, Carousel, Oklahoma, The King and I, Brigadoon, South Pacific, etc. So, naturally, I've seen the movies (multiple times).

I wouldn't say I love the movies, but I do like them.

must be time to go home. I swear I read

yeah. homeward bound it is

Can't stand Carousel (boooring), Oklahoma! (yes, even with cowboys, it stinks) and South Pacific (such horrible color filters throughout - bleh). I thought Brigadoon and the King and I were okay.

I simply love the Sound of Music. I grew up watching it over and over and it is tied to too many good memories to ever hate it. Christopher Plummer was one of my first childhood crushes. He is so very handsome in this film and, might I add imho, very gay. My biggest qualm with the film is something they changed when they translated it from the stage play. At the end of the play, Rolfe saves the day by not letting the family get caught because of his love for Liesel. That plays much better than what happened in the film, but I do understand the director not wanting the audience to have an ounce of love for any Nazi in the film.

Watching the making of West Side Story, I was surprised to find out that Wood and Beymer hated each other. I mean, how could you hate Beymer? He was one hunkadola I tells ya.

What Flippy said. I love both of those musicals. Grew up on them. I don't think they're silly at all. I laugh, I cry, I marvel at the fantastic cinematography and choreography. They're exactly what they need to be.

Oklahoma is teh awesome.

I was noticing the directors' use of color in WSS. Lots of primary colors, lots of red.

Oh and the full shots for the Dance at the Gym scene were primo also.
:)

Okay, but admit that the ballet in the middle is just a TAD too long, yes?

Something I loved about Twin Peaks - seeing Tony and Riff singing a duet (albeit a drunken one).
