    ....I like Grease. Watching it on Sky 2 at the moment for second time this week. Mam caught me singing along and said she often wonders about me :eek: So lads, am I the only one who loves this chick flick? More unusual considering I usually wouldn't listen to anything without a guitar or a nice loud bassy beat

    Listen to the song in Pigheads sig. If you like it then I think your question will have been answered. Whatever happens Collie, Pighead will not judge you.

    You sound a little light in the loafers to me.

    Do you like The Sound of Music? That could be the clincher.

    Assuming you're not a "fruit" you might be about to find out that several of your best friends since childhood are gay.

    Hold on to your britches...

    No way. Hate that film, still cheer on the Nazis whenever it's on at Xmas. As for Pighead's song, couldn't listen to it beyond the opening drumroll from the Hanson reject

    Well you're not gay by the looks of things. You do however have horrible taste in music.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 35,946 Mod ✭✭✭✭dr.bollocko


    Cheer the Nazi's?
    We aren't allowed do that anymore.
    Turns out they're bad.
    Nobody saw that coming...

    That's why I find it strange that I'm the only bloke I know who likes this film beacuse I would usually consider my taste quite superior and manly :D Anything from Frank Sinatra through the Beatles, Stone Roses, etc

    I know a couple of guys that love Grease! I don't know how anyone cant love it. I would imagine most guys just pretend they hate it to be all macho..:p

    I hate the stupid stereotype that just because a guy likes musicals he must be "gay." It's not true. I know a lot of guys who like musicals... a lot of *straight* guys.

    I love musicals. I don't see why anyone wouldn't. But to each their own.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,921 ✭✭✭✭Pigman II


    Pigman II's guide to musicals it's ok for guys to like

    1. Dancer in the Dark
    2. The Nightmare Before Christmas
    3. South Park the Movie
    4. Tommy

    Blues brothers is not a musical. Dont dis blues brothers like that!
    Its a movie about music.
    A musical is when a bunch of ponces start prancing around expressing every day feelings for no reason.
    Blues brothers is a movie about musicians, not a musical. ie spinal tap, ray, Walk the line etc. I like blues brothers, dont go there.

    I like movies about music.... like "DeLovely" or "Beyond the Sea."

    I also like the "prancing around, expressing everyday feelings" stuff too. ;) I see it this way: everyone likes music. Everyone can relate to songs. Musicals are just those expressions put to lyric and dance. I know that not everyone likes them though... but this is just my opinion ;)

    I never realised Grease was a 'gay' movie. but then again, my subscription to Gay Musical Monthly did expire in June


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,856 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    Well if you're "gay" for liking it, then I must be Mario Cantone gay for knowing the words to all the songs...!!! :eek: :o

    Does Jesus Christ Superstar count as a musical? I thought it was a "rock opera" ;) That's not gay though -- there's nothing feminine about crucifiction! :mad:

    And Les Miserables... that's straight....... right?

    Oh god.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,968 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    Grease? Gay movie? Pah! The Pajama Game now thats gay!

    Cabaret is also a good musical you can watch straight just don't watch The Wiz - ever unless you like a scare.

    Other musicals to avoid - Sgt Pepper an amazing cast but jaw droppingly bad and Can't Stop the Music Pity they did'nt.

    Mike.

    Labyrinth
    that film was so weird when i saw it aged 5 or whatever that i thought i had dreamed it until i saw it again in my teens


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,323 ✭✭✭Savman


    ah Grease is a good harmless film with some good pop choons. Sexuality dont come into it, its just like watching cartoons, just a bit of fun ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,206 ✭✭✭gustavo


    I like the Sound of Music , cant help singing along , primary school teacher drilled the songs into us years ago!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,584 ✭✭✭c - 13


    I dont like Grease, but i do like musicals -

    Favourites would be
    • Rocky Horror
    • Little Shop Of Horrors
    • Labyrinth (is this really a musical?)
    • Pink Floyd's The Wall
    • The Who - Tommy
    • The Who - Quadrophenia

    And all of the above are ok for guys to like - manly musicals like :p

    Rock opera... just like RENT. ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,673 ✭✭✭✭senordingdong


    In fairness...the whole film is about a group of blokes trying to get some poon-tang.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    Seems to be some conflict as what exactly constitutes a musical.
    Blues brothers is not a musical. Dont dis blues brothers like that!
    Its a movie about music.

    Blues brothers is a movie about musicians, not a musical. ie spinal tap, ray, Walk the line etc. I like blues brothers, dont go there.

    I'd call something a musical when the characters will suddenly break out into song, and this happens in the Blues Brothers, like the scenes with Aretha Franklin and so forth.

    Nobody just breaks into song in Spinal Tap or such.

    Depends, definetly has musical numbers in there for no plot-related reasons, but it probably isn't as musical as other films that could be mentioned.
