.. slash movie musical review.
I loved Mama Mia! It was ghey! It was fhey! It was a rainbow-colored festival of drag queens, feathered boas, and shimmery clothes! Teh Irish and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. While the Ungrateful Git HATED it. He tore the damn thing to pieces. *shrugs* Just goes to show you the world of difference.
Yes, the production value was crap. Yes, some of the casting was off and couldn’t carry a friggin’ tune. Yes, Pierce Brosnan looked pained when singing. But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have fun with the awkwardness of it all. I live for the awkward moments, on the big screen and in real life. And yes, you come away with an LSS that makes you .. happy. I’m not taking this movie seriously because I don’t think that’s what the people behind this meant for it to be. Lighten up. Have fun. Go see a musical. And just for one night, be gay — ABBA ghey.
The song post isn’t particularly my favorite in the entire movie, but .. I dunno .. I just wanted a reason to post. (This one’s for you, Freddie)
The Name of the Game
I’ve seen you twice
In a short time
Only a week since we started
It seems to me
For every time
I’m getting more open-hearted
Your smile and the sound of your voice
And the way you see through me
Got a feeling, you give me no chioce
But it means a lot to me
So I wanna know
What’s the name of the game?
Does it mean anything to you?
What’s the name of the game?
Can you feel it the way I do?
Tell me please
‘Cause I have to know
I’m a bashful child
Beginning to grow
And you make me talk
And you make me feel
And you make me show
What I’m trying to conceal
If I trust in you
Would you let me down?
Would you laugh at me
If I said I care for you?
Could you feel the same way too?
I wanna know
What’s the name of the game
Can you feel it the way I do?
Tell me please
‘Cause I have to know
I’m a curious child
Beginning to grow
And you make me talk
And you make me feel
And you make me show
What I’m trying to conceal
If I trust in you
Would you let me down?
Would you laugh at me
If I said I care for you?
Could you feel the same way too?
I wanna know
The name of the game
