First let me take this time to express my gratitude to the director.... Bahz Luhrman, you are an effing genius! The complete lush use of color, set design, costume, camera angle, lighting, set the mood...
This is by far one of the best musicals I have ever seen (performed or filmed). It keeps with the tradition of musicals using reprises, crescendos on the final refrain, a pouring flood of orchestration during the film's most dramatic parts... and yes, a scene involving butlers dancing with dining napkins (to "Like a Virgin" no less).
Now, one of the most erotic moments in my movie-going experience (the most being all of Henry and Jude) has got to be the grand tango scene. It's very rare for me to get turned on without showing some skin, and the fact that this segment shows little-to-no flesh (this is still a PG-13 movie kiddies) and still made me break out in a cold sweat... damn, Luhrman rocks!
I'm looking forward (and definetly contributing) to the time when this movie becomes a cult classic.
Went to see the movie with a couple of friends: Liz, Lauren, Wendy, and Sarah (who all brought along people to watch too). Before the movie started, Lauren pointed out this hot blonde fem-ish-guy who was sitting near the front. So, when I had to go to the bathroom for a quick break, I took the route that went infront of the boy... a completely out of the way trip since he was up front and we occupied the last row. Everyone didn't get too crazy during the movie like we planned (the sing-a-long to Lady Marmalade was cut short since the song's only used for about a minute)... but I intend to during my next viewing. Yes, we will make this movie an effing cult classic!
Mmm... Well, I'm glad I took a rose bath before the movie. Now I wreak of cigarette smoke... which is a bit of a turn on for me, but only if the smell is very slight. I don't appreciate people exhaling carbon monoxide in my face.
"I only speak the truth!"
