Gerald Butler.
Oh lordy lord lord.
Folks, I am the biggest Phantom of the Opera fan you can meet. Honestly. It's part of my DNA for pete's sake. And I promised myself I'd give the film a fighting chance. Sure, it's not starring who I'd want it to, and it's not being directed by someone I trust, but if I don't hype myself up or down about it, I'll be fine, right? I can go in there and judge it for what it is, and not for the promotions or the names attached to it.
But in my head, I started judging whether I wanted to or not. So to counteract it all, I then had to start counter-judging, until it was a day-by-day verdict. Moment to moment I felt like I could love it, or hate it. This has been going on since last January, when shooting started. And this morning just happened to be a "loving it" morning.
:(
So I went to the Phantom website and read up on the release dates and soundtrack. And then...I listened to clips of the soundtrack. I didn't mean to, they just popped up! And that's when I heard it...
...Gerald Butler.
Singing Phantom.
Like a lawn mower.
Oh god...I'm going to start making comparisons! If I start doing that, I'm going to end up hating this! HELP HELP HELP! I'm not stable right now and I need some help!
:ack: :ack: :ack:
