I haven't seen Moulin Rouge but I do anticipate seeing it.

Coming late to the thread, I'm risking you're already having 2,000 "stay away!" replies, but put mine on the pile as well.

Moulin Rouge is best described as a watery turd. I lasted all of 45 minutes before walking out of the theater. I've only done that three times in my life and I average a movie a week in theaters.

It's bad. Horrible. Nasty. Unwatchable.

Sorry about the double post; I think that's a first for me. My proxy (Proxomitron) barfed.

What an exquisite visual you've given all of us tonight. Thanks.

Haven't seen MR, but have walked out of another Nicole Kidman movie: To Die For. Trash. AND it got an award.

Thank goodness that I am not the only one who walked out of Moulin Rouge. The MTV-style re-hash of old songs was lame, IMHO. You'd think that they could have paid someone to write some original songs, but they go and butcher Broadway/Hollywood classics like "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" and give the music a disco beat. I guess people were starved for any musical to come out of Hollywood and the producers were afraid that twenty-somethings wouldn't know any better. I must admit that some of the visuals were interesting--but, oh, that silly plotline!!!

To each his own...
