workingcinderellaman Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I have a feeling my wife will want me to see this with her. I haven't seen the broadway show and I know nothing about it. I was thinking that a Rush musical might be better. Who would see 'Limelight, The Musical based on Rush songs'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circumstantial tree Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I'd go see the play, but the movie doesn't appeal to me. Hey, I like ABBA. They were my first favorite band (when I was 9 yrs old). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I'd see Mama Mia if I were in the right mood...like, FORCED! j/k I like theater and musicals just fine. But that one doesn't interest me. btw, is there a Queen musical? If there isn't, there should be. Not that I'd see that either BUT it seems some of their music would be PERFECT for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wanted to see the musical; I dunno the movie just doesn't seem as appealing to me either. Love ABBA though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the mention of that always gets Bohemian Rhapsody going through my head. I certainly don't mind that. So give that a shot if you're still stuck.

theredtamasrule Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Hell ! I neither get nor like musicals. The idea of people bursting into song at the drop of a hat...it's so f@cking absurd that I couldn't enjoy one even if I wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say that there are two vastly different audiences for these films. The people who wouldn't see Dark Knight on a bet will see Mamma Mia.

It would just be much more successful opening another weekend. Dark Knight tickets are selling so well that 3:00 and 6:00 shows are selling out. The hype for it is incredible. I have a lot of friends who are planning on seeing both. It certainly will not bomb, but I don't think it will make as much money as it could have opening another weekend.

Release date scheduling is a complicated business. I doubt the studio's first choice would have been to put it against a massively hyped picture like Dark Knight, but it might have been the only reasonable option in a crowded summer blockbuster season. They'd probably rather put it against something that seems like the exact opposite of their offering instead of another film that's more family- or female-skewing, because those would be even more likely to steal potential ticket sales. And yes, I realize that I'm speaking in terms of stereotypes, but that's how films are marketed. Unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to say Queen is a lot less gay than ABBA, even though Freddie was flaming enough to light a fireplace from across the room. without a doubt, but there's the irony you've got pop music's ABBA, and Queen. When I went to high school and as a young adult, the guys I hung with didn't play ABBA in the car...but they DID play Queen go figure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I'll take ABBA's "Mamma Mia" over Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" anyday. I absolutely can't stand Bohemian Rhapsody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyRulz Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I entertained the idea of going to see it (because I like ABBA)... but if I want ABBA, I think I'll just listen to "Gold" or watch an ABBA documentary I have. Forget the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H. P. L. Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I'd see both Mama mia and TDK. Can't find contradiction in appreciating both. Different movies, different moods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
