Speaking of Disappointing Movies
Took the girls to see High School Musical 3 last night.
I though the original was very good and HSM:2 was decent, but HSM3 was pathetic. Only 2 good songs. The conflict was weak.

You are a better father than I am - I generally like musicals - but after watching half of HS1, I swore I would never watch another.TheCalvinator24 wrote:Took the girls to see High School Musical 3 last night.

Re: Speaking of Disappointing Movies
elwing is a fan of the HSM series so I took her to see HSM3 in the theater. She later said that it was OK but lost a lot from the previous two.gotribego26 wrote:You are a better father than I am - I generally like musicals - but after watching half of HS1, I swore I would never watch another.TheCalvinator24 wrote:Took the girls to see High School Musical 3 last night.

Re: Speaking of Disappointing Movies
This was Annie's birthday movie, even though she had seen it once before. We went to the matinee, and it cost $5 to get all of us in the door. Even at that, I felt ripped off. I had my iPod with me, and was sorely tempted to listen to it.earendel wrote:elwing is a fan of the HSM series so I took her to see HSM3 in the theater.

Enough already. It's my fault! Get over it!

Re: Speaking of Disappointing Movies
$5 total for the four of you, Rexer?
As far as getting ripped off goes, that's a bargain!
So what did Annie say about why she tired of the iPod?

She's home sick after throwing up in the first five minutes of school today. If she feels all right when I get home, I'll ask her.

Re: Speaking of Disappointing Movies
How many times can they make Sharpay a bitch only to "repent" in the end before such a plot device becomes implausible?
Or have Troy unable to decide between sports and performing, or his girlfriend, or his friends, or whatever, until the last 10 minutes of the moive?
Unless the conflict was something different this time? (Haven't seen it yet- my daughter has, though).

Sharpay????????How many times can they make Sharpay a bitch
Pronounced like the wrinkle-doggie? Well, no wonder she's a bitch!
Disclaimer: I have never seen any edition of HSM. And probably never will. I prefer actual high school musicals, especially when my kids/grandkids/nieces/nephews are involved.

Yes- one of the many, but probably lesser, Disney sins- to make Sharpay an acceptable name for a human being.VAdame wrote:Pronounced like the wrinkle-doggie? Well, no wonder she's a bitch!

I hope you will reconsider your position when I come out with my movie, Home School High School Musical. (It will be a while, though. I have to finish my opera first.)VAdame wrote: Sharpay????????

Re: Speaking of Disappointing Movies
I disagree.
HSM1 was good
HSM2 sucked
HSM3 was good
Remember, they are what they are. They are Disney made for teens movies.
BTW, all three are better than the 1999 Best Picture Oscar winner.

Re: Speaking of Disappointing Movies
I've never been to the movies. I only get to see movies on television or DVD. My mom says she's not allowed to take me and, anyway, I would be more comfy watching from the couch instead of a cramped-up seat in the theater. I would like to test that for myself, just once.earendel wrote:

Try a drive-in. I hear that you can get real comfy in the back seat of a Camaro. You can get other things in the back seat too. Or so I hear.

Annie, that's just not true - your mom has mislead you. Everyone knows that 'assistance' animals are allowed in public buildings. All your mom has to do before walking in with you to see a movie is to put on a pair of very dark glasses so you can guide her in.
May I suggest the new Marley & Me movie.
