The carnage extended to other titles, but ‘The Wild Robot’ and ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’ remain strong.

    Really enjoyed Joker. Didn’t have any desire for a sequel. I feel like this was kinda destined to fail.

        I’m just shocked to learn it was a musical. I’ve only heard that like within the last 48 hours here on Lemmy. I saw so many ads for this movie and not one of them even suggested there was singing in it.

          I’ve heard that pretty early on when it was being announced, which immediately turned me off unfortunately. The first movie was great though.

        Something with 5 singing set pieces is a musical now?

          Yes, anything above 0 is a musical.

            Must be a sad world to live in to not watch The Blues Brothers, Men in Tights, Willy Wonka, or Whiplash.

                JK Simmons pep talks to the students is like music to my ears.

                  Well yes. It has lots of music. I wouldn’t call it a musical in any sense though.

                    Well Plex considers it a musical. I filtered by musics and just listed out some of the ones there.

                    8 Mile is a musical. Singing isn’t the only thing that determines a musical.

              Comedic musical numbers fit well within comedy movies, but doing a drama with musical numbers is antithetical. The singing breaks the fourth wall too much, completely interrupting your suspension of disbelief. It’s impossible to take dramatic things seriously when they’re singing and dancing to/about it. You can break the fourth wall in comedies with music, because nobody watching is taking it seriously enough to think that the movie with the boner jokes can’t have a bit of musical parody.
