Well... I lasted a little longer than you. About 20 minutes into Pay Per View, I was ready to turn it off. But, because I paid (and I wasn't tired) I kept watching. Then, something happened. This awful film turned into a pretty good movie. It took 35 minutes... then all the goofiness stopped. Moulin Rouge is really two movies. 35 minutes of the worst thing I've ever seen... followed by 90 minutes of pretty good story telling. Go figure!

An important thing to know about musicals (I just learned this myself) is that they have music original to themselves.

Then I guess that "Mama Mia" isn't a musical. It uses all ABBA music. (That was a really fantastic Broadway experience, by the way.)

I saw Moulin Rouge and didn't know what to think about it at first. My husband wanted to see it. I didn't think I would like it, but I began to enjoy it. It was very unusual, to say the least. Nicole sang her songs. I think there was a lot of inside humor.

Well I hope it really does suck... it helps our movie do better!
