Abe Goldfarb (Beetlejuice: The Musical, First Time Caller) and the lads down a shot of the Green Fairy and can-can their way through Baz Luhrmann’s 2001 musical extravaganza: Moulin Rouge! Topics include the brilliance of Richard Roxburgh, the sexiest alien in Star Wars, and the untouchable style and frenetic earnestness of Bazmark Luhrmann.

I saw this in theaters without knowing it was a jukebox musical and was quickly confused.

I saw a picture of Baz Luhrmann and immediately thought he just looks like Nice Karl Lagerfield

I honestly enjoyed Wild Wild West as a kid however terrible it was. Honestly the giant mechanical spider didn't detract from the film for me. What did was the clunky writing and by the numbers cinematography.

I haven’t rewatched it since I first watched it in 2011 at 17yo. But I didn’t LOVE the movie. I liked some part of it. But I was disappointed by it. Everyone was hyping it. And i felt just like Josh. This movie is too long. The thing is, I loved Elvis AND The Great Gatsby. I still haven’t watched Romeo + Juliet. But Moulin Rouge didn’t do it for me.

I will always appreciate y'all for your insights and your thoughtful diligence in highlighting the war crimes committed by Avril Lavigne
