I have just been forced to watch some bits of MOULIN ROUGE, the movie. I hated it before I ever saw any, and the pieces I have seen have done nothing but make me loathe it. It is absolutely the opposite of anything I want to see in films, not to mention wrecking one of my favourite songs. (I loathe Elton John, but one has to concede that he ( Read more... )

i agree... that movie is so irritating and over-the-top

Obviously it became an Easter movie :) We had it on TV, too (didn't watch, not interested).

Ha ha! My friend that I saw it with hated it so much too! I was able to enjoy it, just because I like Ewan McGregor so much, and I love Popcorn and Diet coke enough to carry me through most movies.

Also, I've been told that I have terrible taste in movies!

I guess I have high expectations. But I found the thing pretentious and horrible. I would rather watch an unpretentious but well-made episode of Diagnosis Murder, which makes no demands on you and lets you follow an interesting story, than put up with an eye-raping set of visuals for the sake of someone's crassly wrong-headed aesthetics.

I've never seen Moulin Rouge or had the urge to see it. However, I found myself compelled to locate a recording of "A Song for You" purely out of curiosity and wasn't able to find it by Elton John. I did, however, find a recording by the Carpenters. Maybe it was a remake?

Sorry, I was writing this on a spurt of anger and got the title wrong. It is "Your song."
So excuse my forgetting,
But these things I do -
You see, I've forgotten
If they're green or they're blue.
Anyway, the thing is,
Whatever they're in,
Yours are the sweetest eyes
I've ever seen.
And you can tell everybody
This is your song.
It may be quite simple but,
now that it's done,
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
If i tell everyone
How wonderful life is
When you're in the world.

Pretty sure I've got a couple of lines wrong there, too.

aha! The lyrics to "Your Song" are much better than the other, as well. Sorry for changing the subject. ;) lol
