I have to admit that while I found the story in Fun Home to be interesting, I was really underwhelmed by the music? Like I felt that the songs actually distracted and detracted from the story...I think it would have been more effective as a play.

I guess I could see what you're saying with some of the songs (Come to the Fun Home or whatever it's called, the one that the kids sing), but Ring of Keys and Maps and Days and Days and Changing My Major and most especially Telephone Wire are all incredible to me.

I think Fun Home could make for a great movie. The source doesn’t seem that legit tho

The guy who originally reported it is verified and works for the Daily Fail, but he hasn't deleted yet. If he does I'll edit the post for sure.

oh is it that baz guy? he schmoozes with so many theater people that i'm sure there's definitely some truth to it

yep, which is why I think it might be true and they just haven't confirmed yet. he's been right about other stuff.

I've read both the graphic novel and seen the play and I'm so glad it's getting a movie but I'm so over straights playing queers. I mean, Jake already did Brokeback, is he looking to drum up another oscar nom for himself? MEN ARE WEAK.

If he were smart, he'd produce the movie and cast a queer actor as the closeted father. smh!
