      The only good musicals (where people start singing for no reason) that I actually love are Blues Brothers and Monty Python’s Holly Grail.

      I’d watch it if it was a heavy dark drama. A musical? I think not.

      have to agree. i was kinda looking forward to it… but a musical? gad. no. the worst episodes of my favorite shows are when they thought it would be cute to make them musicals.

          if youre referring to the nightman; i would argue that they put on a musical within the show. the episode itself was not a musical.

          the other episode that is a musical is not one i particularly enjoy

        Imo the scrubs episode where the patient views the world as a musical is pretty good, but you’re right it’s far from being one of the best episodes.

      I have a feeling this was done on purpose… The regime didn’t like how the first movie resoanted a little too much with the plebs for their comfort.

      So they made a movie to alienate the core audience. But that’s just some tinfoil.

        First film was a great film if it were new IP, but a shit joker batman film. The second film was always likely to be shit, because they were always going for abstract and avant garde artistry without a clear connection to the underlying and far stronger story and IP people are expecting. I’m sure it’s a beautiful film and musical, but it’s dog shit attached to joker.

      Seriously, after the first film this is as far from what you’d expect, and want from a sequel.

      I’ll definitely pass on this as well.

      With Lady Gaga, no less. They added a music person for the musical.

      It seems that the suits have misunderstood their target audience get again.
