Confession: I can't wait to see Rock of Ages

[basilosaurus]

You guys can go with H. He can't wait either. He has terrible taste and thinks Journey is the best band ever.

I just can't get past Tom Cruise. I just can't.

[teflep]

I just threw up...in my pants.

I can't either!

I am not seeing any justification in this statement that he has terrible taste.

I confess I might want to see it, but am slightly embarrassed to admit this to my husband. He probably wouldn't want to go, anyway.

I do love how one commercial says something about how even if you've never seen a musical, you'll love this. Hellllooo, because it's all 80s pop music!

How are the reviews? I read a negative one in USA Today* this morning.

43% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Snow White 48%, but I want to see that, too.

I also want to see Brave, which I think comes out next weekend.

I am dying to see it and I'm not the least bit ashamed. If it is awful, it will be hilarious, and if it's awesome, then it will just be awesome.

Oh! I know a movie reviewer and he said it's good. But he also got hate mail about it, apparently

I am sure Brave will be good. I saw Snow White and I can see why it got 48% (Kristen Stewart...blah). Still decent. I am dying to see Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter next week as well.

[secretlyevil]

H is excited to see it as well but I'm just eh about it.

That's interesting that that's you raising both hands, because until you said that, I was wondering what your giant vagina had to do with this discussion.

I believe you will be banned from ProBoards for the inappropriate and non-medical use of the V word.

That KStew expression is just... yeah. She almost killed the movie for me. That, and the ending.

Tom Cruise is the reason I want to see this. He's hilarious. Did you see Tropic Thunder?

[IIOY]

KStew is the Winona Ryder of her generation. She has zero range and plays the same character in every movie yet has a large fan base and therefore continues to get hired.

I think she looks stoned all the time.

[kcb]

it was amazing. Tom Cruise was amazing.

[2vermont]

My mother saw this on Broadway. Is this the same thing?

I saw this last week for free, and Tom Cruise was by far the best part. He was really funny and played a rockstar well. Overall it is just ok- it was a fairly fun movie but felt way too long (2 hours).

[heightsyankee]

I am on the fence. I loved the musical and it had that long haired cheesedick from Idol, so maybe I can deal with Tom Cruise? I hate him but I think my biggest issue with him in this movie is his age. It's a young role...

Anyone else dying to see Ted with me?

[ChillyMcFreeze]

heights--I can't wait for Ted! I hate that Rock of Ages is getting really bad reviews. I guess we'll save the $16 and wait for DVD.
