Who in hell told Pierce Brosnan he could sing? Because they were wrong. So, so, so VERY wrong.

I just got back from seeing the unholy, flaming train wreck known as Mamma Mia. I just. WHY? WHY? Why was this made? I have to believe that the stage show is better, because that was just...good Lord.

You are a braver woman than I. I saw about twenty minutes of it and the scars are deep.

(I'm just waiting and waiting for someone to come in here all, "but Viva Blackpool was so good and blah blah blah" and I'll be all, "I don't give a rat's ass, this is a different show and it sucked and I'm not way into British shit so the chances that I'll ever watch this other Viva thing are slim indeed.")

Oh, definitely. All of these things. But yeah. We just sort of sat and watched all of this car crash in an appropriate manner. (Heckling. LOTS of heckling.)

Heeeeeee, that works. I suspect I'm going to be renting it or *ahem* otherwise acquiring it at a later date specifically because it's going to be AWESOME to heckle while drunk.
