They're completely different movies doing completely different things. I love both of them. But I'm not ready to "determine a winner." Both are lovely and effective and achieve their respective goals with grace, beauty, and thoughtfulness.dimejinky99 wrote:Monkey_Driven wrote:Nah.

Once > La La Land

Twee cuteness. Fake indie joy. Phony "movie love." It all looks so insufferable.durdencommatyler wrote:What is it you fundamentally hate so much about these films, Verm?LoathedVermin72 wrote:They both look like cancer

I'd never heard of it until you just now posted it. Looked it up on IMDB and I'd be interested in checking it out.

Not every line is sung in most musicals, Lenny. The shows where every word is sung is typically referred to as an opera.lennytheweedwhacker wrote:not every line is sang, but yeah it's a musicaldurdencommatyler wrote:I'd never heard of it until you just now posted it.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
i admittedly haven't seen a ton of musical films...wasn't every line sang in the les miserables film?durdencommatyler wrote:Not every line is sung in most musicals, Lenny.

I actually like when actors in musicals are not flawless singers and/or dancers. Musicals can often be a bit too cheesy. This was not. There was much more of a movie there than I was expecting.tragabigzanda wrote:I hate that two obscenely wealthy and attractive movie stars, neither of whom know how to dance or sing, are being paid millions to play wannabe movie stars who know how to dance and sing.LoathedVermin72 wrote:Twee cuteness.
