I am very confident StR that you will see that ad again before the film opens. Several times.
And if a dozen naked Monica Bellucci slap bots were standing around singing “Master of the House” (in the film to be played by Borat and HBC) I would have you tried for Crimes against Humanity and have you put away forever. Or kill myself.
Our local theater chain is Regal Theaters - and they are one of the producers of this film. Needless to say, they run this very long teaser at EVERY film we have seen for the past few months. I can almost quote the lines in the teaser, word for word. If these had been paid advertising, the movie would have to make about $94 billion to break even.
So, sorry I didn’t mention it to you.
BTW, in other breaking news: Recently there was a Presidential Election, Obama won the election, there was a hurricane called Sandy on the East Coast and Whitney Houston died. There. Now you are caught up on all of the other items of news that might have escaped your attention.
Never saw that before. Surprisingly that is a very flat boring interpretation of the song. Definitely lacks the impact of Ruthie Henschel’s or Lea Solonga’s versions.
Yes…I have to admit, despite loving Patti Lupone to death, I don’t like her interpretation of Fantine. “My” Fantine is Randy Graff. I really think she nails the emotional facet of the character without getting too melodramatic. La Patti…well…let’s just say that Evita, Norma, and Mama Rose were perfect roles for her.
Decades ago, when “The Little Mermaid” came out, I recall there were ads clearly aimed at girls, focussing on the romance theme and ads aimed at boys, which showed the manly King Triton zapping lots of things.
Whatever that might be…
