Comment on Freaky Friday (2003) and Titan A.E. by stephanie b

Freaky Friday is one of my guilty pleasure movies. It’s one of the very few remakes that improves upon the original and I think Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan’s acting is fabulous. “Oh, I’m like the Crypt Keeper!” Brilliant.

“Seize the moment. Because tomorrow you could be dead.”

…Or something like that.

And the criminal continues with…

Surging like the sea
Wanting you so helplessly
I break with every swell
Lost in ecstasy
Spread beneath my willow tree

What? The ocean has trees? And wasn’t it clever of Joss to refer to a willow tree since her lover’s name is Willow and all?

I thought I must have misread your first comment because I remember you saying “Under Your Spell” didn’t suit Amber’s voice. It is pretty corny rather than porny (as Joss mentions in the commentary) and I think the rhyme

But your power shone
Brighter than any I’ve known

is borderline criminal.

I just wanted to make sure I was clear — I really dislike “Rest in Peace” and “Under Your Spell,” even though it’s pretty. I really like/love all of the other songs in “Once More, With Feeling.” I was just trying to make the point that not even the opus that is “Once More, With Feeling” is completely solid musically, in my opinion.

Thanks for your comments everyone.

Can’t say I disagree too much with any of you except I think Stephanie is too hard on “OMWF” particularly since “Rest in Peace” is probably my least favourite song. ‘Walk Through the Fire” is one of the greatest ensemble songs with the best tailored line ever: “I think this line is mostly filler”.

Word. I just watched and was left thoroughly disappointed. I liked Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion’s take on their characters, but Felicia Day was completely boring and Penny was dull, useless, predictable, and, ultimately, not worth caring about. It probably didn’t help Penny’s case either that Felicia Day was one of those annoying potentials.

I get that Joss Whedon loves musicals and he likes to subvert the musical genre. But you can’t just throw together some songs, some campiness, and some dry humor and make a masterpiece. Even in “Once More With Feeling”, which I love, I didn’t think that all of the songs were particularly strong — “Rest in Peace” and “Under Your Spell” (though lovely) being the two stand-outs or actually not-so stand-outs. The songs in Dr. Horrible felt similarly uninspired, with the exception of Captain Hammer’s hero song, and undeserving of Neil Patrick Harris’ considerable vocal talents.

That being said, I want a t-shirt with a hammer on it and some of those nifty goggles.

Personally I think you were a bit soft on Spider-Man 3 - I think it may have been worse than is possible to put into words. I haven’t rolled my eyes at corniness and cliche so much for a long time - and when Spidey flew in front of that flag I wanted to poke them out! Any review really ought to have the words “toe-curling” in it.

I’m sure I’m losing my sense of humour because I thought Blandings (which I’m sure I loved years ago) was nothing more than OK and the occasional smile couldn’t make up for the annoyances.
