The King and I




My Thoughts:

-    This was an okay movie, but definitely not one of my favorite Rodgers and Hammerstein. 

-    Anna just glides in those huge dresses! How does she do that?

-    The king's calves are huge!

-    The play of Uncle Tom's Cabin is hilarious, and I love that they call it Small House of Uncle Thomas.

-    The songs are just eh. There weren't very many of them that are memorable or enjoyable. 

-    The king is funny. Yul Brynner does a fantastic job of delivering his lines.


Tyson's Thoughts:

-    Mmmmmm Deborah Kerr...that sounds kinky.

-    We could smuggle turkeys under that dress.

-    I like that the king looks like the bad guy from The Mummy.

-    Why couldn't the whole movie be like that play!?!?

-    It was painful, but that play was fantastic!

-    At least it had a lot of Asian ladies, good eye candy!

Carousel

I couldn't find a trailer, but here is a little clip from the movie.

My Thoughts:

-    This was a depressing musical, and not in a good way, like Les Mis. This one is just sad and messed up!

-    I like that they brought Shirley Jones and Gordon MacRae back together, but I wish they had a better relationship.

-    Billy is such a jerk! I liked him so much better as Curly. I can't believe Julie puts up with him. Why do women stay in abusive relationships!?!?

-    Mr. Snow's voice really bugs me, and his laugh is terrible!

-    The one day Billy sees his daughter, and he slaps her! What an idiot!

-    To make it worse, there is a whole spiel about how Billy's slaps feel like kisses. What the heck!?!? Seriously messed up!

-    I enjoyed the ballet sequence towards the end. Jacques d'Amboise get some serious air!

-    I don't think I'll ever be watching this again. It was depressing, and I didn't enjoy it much. I didn't even like a lot of the songs. 


Hubby's Thought:

-    This movie taught me it is ok to beat your wife.

Tyson's Thoughts:

-    Looks like there's a lack of chairs in heaven.

-    The ladies are bustier in this one than Oklahoma.

-    I want to go to a town where ladies are just dancing on the roof.

-    I want to go to a town where a lady just flips down from a roof in front of me.
