Wait, so you're telling me I can have both the deep, meaningful and beautiful music of ABBA...and...

[Tommy_Carcetti]

....the multifaceted, introspective and downright enthralling acting abilities of one Colin Firth, all in the same movie?

There has to be more! Please tell me there is more! There's gotta be more!

[DarkTirade]

1. Who could ask for anything more?

:shrug:

[Tommy_Carcetti]

2. A root canal sans Novocaine would be nice, while we're at it.

It's all in the same theme, I think.

[terrya]

3. They played a clip from "Mama Mia" when Pierce Bronsnan was a guest on "The Daily Show".

Pierce and Meryl Streep were singing "SOS".

Let's just say that Pierce shouldn't give up that acting day job.

I still want to see it, though.

[BarenakedLady]

6. That was my thought too.

Heh. Meryl's got pipes though.

[Bake]

33. She was terrific in Prairie Home Companion!

I never knew she could sing.

[BarenakedLady]

4. I always surprise myself

by how much I enjoy ABBA. I forget about them, then I hear a song and I think "Wow, I forgot how much I love that song." and bop around. Somewhere I have a tape (yes, that's how long ago I bought it) that I loved to play and dance around house when my oldest was but a wee bebbe. I should really buy the soundtrack.

[Tyler Durden]

5. How about career ending roles for Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan?

A film version, of a bad musical using the unoriginal music of ABBA, remaking the VERY mediocre film "Buona Sera Mrs. Campbell."

Let me slit my wrists.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

7. It's like the perfect storm of mediocrity.

But hey, I guess for some people, it floats their boat. Better them than me.

[Tyler Durden]

8. A perfect addition to the collection, for fans of:

Glitter
Gigli

and lest we forget:

Moulin Rouge (the Kidman film)
Xanadu

[BarenakedLady]

12. Nah

I don't like any of that, save Moulin Rouge.

[TZ]

10. I've heard the musical is fantastic though

I happen to like ABBA..Although the film is not getting good reviews..however, I am waiting to see what Midlo says to you about your comments..This might make "Sex and the City" gate tame by comparison...:popcorn:

[Tommy_Carcetti]

13. Maybe the Nationals can have ABBA night at the ballpark....

...and you and two others people will show up. And all the players would run screaming from the field.

[Tyler Durden]

25. oh god, that WAS an image.

The four of them standing on the mound, and four shots ring out right in the middle of "TAKEACHANCETAKEACHANCETAKEACHANCE..."

The market in black leisure suits and platform shoes for the funerals goes off the charts.

[Midlodemocrat]

16. Doofus.

It's going to be wonderful. The musical is spectacular and getting to hear Meryl Streep sing is well worth the price of admission.

[Tyler Durden]

20. Many people like Country Music as well...

I never force them to listen to Mozart, I merely marvel at the differences in taste.

HOWEVER, in return for the Doofus, I reserve the right to scream "TRIPE!" whenever I perceive tripe being served.

To each his own tastes, said the old lady as she kissed the cow.

[Midlodemocrat]

21. I was calling PeterU doofus, not you.

:rofl:

[Tommy_Carcetti]

24. Yes, stop taking my doofus credit, Tyler!

I think I am the first to be both a tool of Lynnesin's and a dofus of Mildo. What is the triple crown?

[Tyler Durden]

26. I yield to the superior Doofus!

Deb my SO merely referred to me as a "Closet Elitist, unworthy of my Socialist Worker's Party Card" for making fun of the movie by prancing around the room waving my arms back and forth over my head wearing nothing but my plaid boxers.

Truly a horrifying image.

[TZ]

29. On my tool list too, nerdball!

:P

[Tommy_Carcetti]

30. You should think up another name for your sworn DU enemies other than "tool"

IIRC, "tool" was LynneSin's idea. Come up with another term and I will count you as well.

Come to think of it, nerdball might work. Nerdball list?

[TZ]

31. Yep it works...

[Midlodemocrat]

32. You are not the first and you won't be the last.

:rofl:

[Bake]

35. Hey! I enjoy both country music AND Mozart!

I have eclectic tastes. So shoot me.

:rofl:

Bake

[Tyler Durden]

36. works for me.

Hank Williams was a genius. Shania Twain is pop music. just my opinion; I'm just as full of it as the next guy!

[Midlodemocrat]

18. This is a prime example of disrespect that I won't tolerate. Ignored.

:hide:

In case you missed it, TD, a now TS'd poster replied to almost every single post in her thread with the above.

[Tyler Durden]

23. And a fine quote it is!

Seriously, legislating taste is the highest form of idiocy in my book, and you are certainly welcome to yours. I just wish the Symphony Orchestra and the musicians got paid remotely like ABBA.

I have my dreams....

[Dr. Strange]

9. Oh, there is more:

Guest-starring...

[Tommy_Carcetti]

14. Actually, that would make me want to see it more....

....just to grasp the concept of having both ABBA music and Chuggo music in the same setting. I believe that would open up some sort of porthole to hell, and that would be worth the price of admission in and of itself.

[Dr. Strange]

15. You haven't lived until you've heard Chuggo's rendition of "Take A Chance on Me."

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me fuckin' guy
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down

If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me fuckin' guy
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try

Take a chance on me
(Aw c'mon fuckin' guy)
Take a chance on me

[TZ]

17. Call the producers of "Momma Mia" RIGHT FUCKING NOW!

They need to include that song in their movie....:rofl:

[Tommy_Carcetti]

19. Wait, wait, I can see it!

[PVnRT]

38. No, that would change it from craptacular to the most awesome movie of all time

Dancing queen.....c'mon fuckin' guy....dancin' queen

[begin_within]

11. They don't even include ABBA's best song

which was "The Visitors" (1981)

[applegrove]

22. I was thinking the same thing. What else could happen in one film?

[Gidney N Cloyd]

27. I hear this is going to be Bruce Jenner's big musical comeback!

[Tyler Durden]

28. This just gets more terrifying by the minute...

Sort of like a Stephen King book read to bouncy disco tunes.

[Symarip]

34. You couldn't pay me to see this suckfest.

I'd rather watch grass grow (and then smoke it).

[Frank Cannon]

37. Well, there's also the vocal styling of Pierce Brosnan

Which is somewhat akin to a goose farting into a bullhorn.
