Did anyone else hate Wicked?

So, we are supposed to keep silent until after the person dies of anorexia. That's good to know because I'd hate to be impolite to someone who's starving themselves to death. My natural tendency is to blurt out something crude like, "Eat some cake you fuckin' twig!"

Yes. People with eating disorders simply haven’t heard from the wise council of middle-aged internet guitarists — all of whom are obviously specialists in nutrition and fitness.

I eat a piece of cake each morning for breakfast. I walk a few steps from the couch to the fridge on a daily basis. If that does not prove I'm a bit of an expert in nutrition and fitness, my name's not Princess Diana.

I'm reminded of the Bill Cosby bit where his kids want chocolate cake for breakfast, then he analyzes what's in cake...milk, eggs, flour...so why not?
 
I will skip Wikid as well. Especially the interactive sing-along screenings

It appears the floodgates have been opened to list the movies we prefer to see.
I can't wait for this in early 2025.
See you at the Oscars Nick!
 
My wife and I finally watched Wicked. We took a few of the complaints to heart and streamed the movie at home. That allowed us to split it up into parts with breaks in between. Also, we had control of the audio so that it did not blast our ears too loud.

It’s a movie version of musical theater, so singing and dancing go with the territory. We enjoyed it. My opinion is that it’s good but could have been better. The idiom, “Less is more,” comes to mind. The pace would have been so much better for me if parts 1 & 2 were all included in 3 hours. Seems like a greedy cash grab to turn Wicked into 2 movies. So far, it does seem to me like they’ve pulled it off better than, “The Hobbit,” movie series (apples vs oranges). But, I’ll have to see part 2 before I have a final opinion on the whole thing. I’ll make sure to watch that one at home as well.

My daughter insisted that I go see Wicked today. I don’t especially like musicals, but Ariana Grande has a great voice, so I thought it would be okay. It was horrible. The sound mix was done in HELL. Every single sound was shrill. Every voice, every instrument, every footstep, it all hurt my ears. And they wouldn’t stop the godawful singing. And the songs were so long. They could have cut half an hour of that shit out, saved tens of millions of dollars, and sold just as many tickets. But apparently I’m the only one who hates it because everyone else in the developed world loves it. Did anyone else hate it?

Luckily, I do not think about it at all! #blessed
