I thought it was kinda ‘cute’ at first - but the movie didn’t show them chewing through wiring, stealing, stashing and storing food and treasures. It didn’t show the piles of poop they left behind, nor could the viewers smell the horrible urine - not to mention hantavirus, that has killed so many people.

A little too earnest or precious or something.

She's very talented, but I can see how some people would like her style and some wouldn't. Iirc, she got some of her early training at the same performing arts school my #2 daughter attended (later :-). Broken Arrow's a small town!

They should cut the show by 3/4ths and just give us the basic big winners. I don't know if I can make it thru this tonight...it's really awful.

Zach Snyder’s 300 came out in 2006—and I think he won a saturn award...not much else but deserved to.

She’s been brought up in the theater so she’s bigger than life, even in real life.

Yeah. I noticed the very first thing they had Remy do in the kitchen was fall into the hot soapy water. I presume that was an attempt to rid the audience of the “oog” factor. Didn’t work for you. :)

Performers have a different life from the rest of us, for sure.

I like these montages.

Don’t like that idea. This is the only time when the people behind the scenes get their chance in the spotlight. Everyone thinks its an Actor love in whereas actually only four of the awards go to actors.
