(Only the difference is that when dr_ninjapants writes unsolicited, hap-hazard tyrades against everyone's favorite movie he's off-base whereas I'm right.)
Chris Columbus can suck my cock. I cannot believe they're still letting that hack direct.
Adventures in Babysitting (1987) kicked ass. But that was obviously a fluke.
The man manages to drain the life out of really well cast, pre-packaged, sure-fire flicks.
Rent should have been easy. Everyone was so good. Even Rosario Dawson didn't detract. But then this moron decided the following:
1. Opera's don't need to be sung... that much.
2. Characterization must be offered up on the alter of the non-sequitar, supposedly placating lesbian commitment ceremony (see... it's ok... they're COMMITED lesbians.)
3. A denim clad Roger, singing on a country western/Christian inspiration set was appropriate.
4. Nonsexual relationships are boring so expendable.
5. HIV support groups are fun and cameras are welcome.
6. Singing on a bike is ok!
Am I the only one that got the feeling that Columbus doesn't really like musicals? Or bohemian... anything?
Who was this marketed to?
PS: The Tango Maureen turned into a bi-phobia fest!
