IMDB shall never fail to amuse
I present some Phantom of the Opera (movie) wank!

The OP is something of a troll to say the least, and continuously travels through the post, reposting just how bad she thought the movie was, calling the actors names, and stating all sorts of absurd (but some funny) statements about it designed to do nothing but rile up the fans of the movie. All this from someone who hasn't read the book or seen any of the other versions, from what she says of her own knowledge of the subject. (She also can't decide if the phans are more annoying than the movie itself)

There's lots of musicians who post their own views (for even more of this pretension, see some of the other PotO threads - there's a goldmine of ; either everyone on this board is classically trained, or there isn't a one that can resist the urge to flash their credentials when no one has asked for it.

Comparisons to Moulin Rouge are made, and everyone gets offended. Statements that people are entitled to their own opinions go right over the OP (and thus everyone else's) heads.

While I can't help but agree with "eugh, Gerard Butler's Phantom", there are better ways of putting it. Like, you know, not being a total troll.

(Eugh. Gerard Butler's Phantom. Eugh.)

*give you cookies*

I admit, I had a few moments of "mmm, sexy" when I saw the Phantom in the previews. It went kinda like this (apologies to the divine Cleo for ganking her style):

PHANTOM: *is 10 pounds of sex in a 5 pound bag*

HINDBRAIN: Cut me off a slice of that.

FOREBRAIN: Gah! The Phantom is supposed to be hideous. Christine's attraction is psychological. This sucks!

HINDBRAIN: Shut up! Must do Phantom! How do we get through the screen?

PHANTOM: *starts "singing"*

FOREBRAIN and HINDBRAIN: Ahh! Makeitstop! Makeitstop!

And then I bounced between "OMGSEX!" and "What's that noise?" for the rest of the movie. It was confusing. :(

What all these people wanking over this film don't realize that it actually could have been far worse. I remember reading at one point that *Michael Jackson* was being seriously considered for the Phantom.

Ah, I've found the problem.

OH AND THE ENDING? HOW and WHEN DID CHRISTINE DIE??? helloooooooooooo

Chalk one up for "Complete Failure to Grasp Any Relevant Detail of the Plot."

If you haven't caught on by the end of the film that it's being told in two different times, one of which is significantly AFTER the Phantom storyline, then... well... I'm afraid there's no hope. Did she come in five minutes late and miss the intro, and then just happen to sneeze every time there was another flash to 1919? Did she think the greying out was just a bad projection and the old man was a hallucination? How did she miss the fact that Christine is dead because it's A LONG TIME AFTER SHE WAS YOUNG?

Sigh.

Oh, see, here I just assumed that she merely didn't understand that when people get old, they die. I couldn't come up with a viable reason why she would want to know /precisely/ how Christine died.
