Comment on Why Paramount Didn’t Market ‘Mean Girls’ as a Musical: ‘People Tend to Treat’ Them ‘Differently’

People tend to treat them differently because “it’s a musical” is used to excuse nonsense writing and bad acting. People who aren’t annoying-ass theater kids don’t want to watch a TV-movie-tier B movie padded out to 2 hours with a bunch of rhythmic talk-singing filler. I’m not criticizing the existence of musicals, it’s just that they’re the most common direct-to-dumpster form of entertainment after horror movies.

What about this, specifically, indicates passion? If you mean how long it is, I’m not good at writing so I’m not very concise, but that isn’t the same thing as flipping out.

Just a lot of creatively mean ways to minimize people for liking things that you don’t, it takes a certain kind of theatrical flair.

Okay Professor Cattiness, I’ll take your expert opinion on acting bitchy under consideration.

I totally agree. I love music and I love movies, but somehow musicals always turn out totally campy and over the top in the worst ways.
