2. wtf is wrong with musicals??!!??

"West Side Story" is one of the most amazing collaborations of genius (Bernstein, Sondheim, Jerome Robbins, Arthur Laurents) in the history of art itself. :-)

3. I want my movies to depict a remotely plausible universe.

Time travel? OK. Faeries? OK. Olympian Gods? OK. Hero taking on 827,364 bad guys with two pistols? OK.

But random breaking into singing and dancing? Gag me with a spoon.

4. So I take it you would also look askance at "Grease"?

Then there was this really famous Czech movie called "Boys in the Hops", I guess it would be, about a group of kids sent off to harvest hops as their "collective work".

You ain't lived until you've seen a bunch of people prancing around hop fields singing and dancing. Hop orchards? Hopyards?

5. Yes, I WOULD look askance at "Grease."

Maybe I would tolerate that Czech movie if only for the weirdness factor. Then again, probably not.

7. No starvation. I love music. Just don't append "al" to it.

Or if you do, make sure it's not a noun.
