Baked 3

i hate that they killed meryl streep. who tf says AU GUST like that. immature meryl is so self centered thinking anybody wants to hear information technology. i hate that they gave the friends the same hair cut. Man wants adult female to give up career and family ties. Homo told rosie shes wise like a flamingo just ik for a fact flamingoes are stupid at the zoo they accept their eggs and replace them with fakes then they dont sit on their own eggs and they dont even notice. baguette sword fight Remember OF THE CRUMBS. tokenizing disavled ppl to prove ur inclusive is so fucke dup. Pierce Prosnan looks much older thwn i thought he would. They flashback to young Donna meeting each of the men anf they each instantly want jer to slumber with him anf we know she ultimately does because its a flashback but imagine how much powerful it would be to jave a adult female say no to sex activity rather than sending the message she e'er will give in so if she says no you just have to keep tryong. this is a picture about grief????? i was non prepared. i thought the deal was "hey were mentioning this so you know why meryl isnt featured in the movie" really feeling that i want a tattoo rn. when volition the globe progress past tje trope of "the side graphic symbol friend who eats a lot" i hate when they pretend tjat perfectly attractive characters arent hot. "we do more and more than work for less and less pay" so true bestie. no plot only what can u expect. felt like i was being slapped in th face by cameo after cameo but i didnt enjoy it. i detest birth scenes on tv then much. didnt give me the skilful feeling u get watcjing a musical until the very cease but improve belatedly than never

Buzzed i

  • I am trying to piece of work the Goggle box. Thanks Bored 1 for figuring it out for me. It'due south loading now — NOT buffering. Lily James ("The Pursuit of Happiness" which didn't exercise that well I don't remember) is so hot I'm and so excited. Weeeee!! Amanda (idk what she was in recently)  also hot!!! Yayyyy!!! I know it makes sense but why did they kill Meryl!!! I dear Lily's hair. So did they organize a flash mob for the opening song??? No way did this unabridged graduating class agree to this. My bike has a woven basket like Lily'south and my mom wants it. But information technology's mine!!!!!!!
  • There'south no mode her suitcase merely happens to open and spill out similar that. I meet right through information technology.
  • I don't think Heaven is hot he is the weak link there's no way Amanda is so upset nigh him????  (Side annotation: how did Amanda get plenty money to redo the hotel? Wasn't her mother singing about being bankrupt in the first pic?) Why am I not more than fun drunk why am I being critical near this. Will I EVER Bask LIFE!
  • Okay when Sky and Amanda are singing about being sad in that location are very memorable transitions that move from NY and Greece. But the one that keeps me up at nighttime is when they are back to dorsum on a wall, merely then the camera pans out, and Amanda is in an enclosed room. HOW was that filmed?? How
  • Flamingos are stupid???
  • Young harry is really clingy and his clothes are too pocket-size. He is the worst if the 3. If a mediocre man embarrassed me similar this in a eating house full of French people I would combust on the spot.
  • The security guy who stamps their something to become on the ferry is a main grapheme. The boat dance scene is the peak of this picture show (not including Cher). Alexio is another main grapheme.
  • You know how some people are physic? I wish I was. Or at least had premonitions near the weather similar Fernando (or Amanda in "Hateful Girls"! What range she has).
  • Horsie
  • The director knew what they were doing with this "Andante" scene………………ahwiejsjjskwdjjekwhsjwnsnd
  • I besides would modify all my life plans to stay in Greece with Lily James.

  • We are all the dancing queens of our lives
  • I am sick of my bangs
  • I heard bored #i giggle. Justice
  • Seeing Cher live in concert was the highlight of my life
  • How many times am I blinking
  • Cher had and so many costume changes at her concert. I think nearly that whenever I climb a staircase and am out of breath
  • Oh Amanda

Buzzed 2

  • Buzzed 1 fabricated everyone enchiladas similar the saint they are
  • Bored 1 is not willing to requite this motion picture a fair milk shake. She'll modify her mind
  • Baked 2 is trying to end me from singing. To MAMMA FUCKING MIA. Not happening
  • LILY JAMESSSSSS

  • this is such a good fucking movie idk what anyone else writing here says. literally one of the most incredible pieces of cinema i've ever seen.

Bored 1

  • Many people already know near my general dislike for the original "Mamma Mia" movie, although dislike is non the right word, information technology's more like general disappointment because I really struggle to listen to a bunch of A-list actors ruin ABBA songs that I hold near and dear to my heart. (Except for Amanda Seyfried. Go along doing your thing, Amanda.)
  • So anyway I'm going into this with depression expectations.
  • People are insisting that this movie is the better Mamma Mia and I'm skeptical about all of it.
  • Buzzed 1 says that if I don't have fun they're going to jump off a roof. It's a lilliputian extreme.
  • The acapella "Thank You lot For the Music" is too much already.
  • WHY ARE THEY PRETENDING MERYL STREEP IS Expressionless
  • Bored 2 and I are on the aforementioned wavelength I recall.
  • I'k going to exist honest I sincerely don't call back Donna would be an academically successful student.
  • I'm so uncomfortable
  • Buzzed 2 is correct, not the queer baiting in "When I Kissed the Teacher"
  • One of my biggest problems with the first Mamma Mia motion picture was that the songs felt super unnatural in context and so far this motion picture is worse.
  • Baked 1 is correct, at least this one is actually filmed like a moving-picture show.
  • Why is "Chiquitita" the musical motif to correspond the Dynamos' friendship that's so embarrassing
  • I practice love "One of The states" though, merely it's upsetting that we have to lose hot Heaven to practice information technology…also the staging is far besides literal
  • (Is it mean of me to say that they expect old)
  • I'm already hitting the signal where I think I'd rather merely listen to ABBA than sentry this picture
  • I love Christine Baranski but I cannot forgive "Exist even so my beating vagina"
  • Lily James's accent is a little…hm
  • Why does young Harry's leather jacket look similar it's iii sizes too small…did they run out of their costume budget buying boots and making 70s go-go outfits
  • They're ruining "Waterloo"
  • Broiled 1 is cancelled
  • There should be a trigger warning before the movie: "Content warning: Pierce Brosnan singing"
  • Young Bill's pants are too curt and I'm at present convinced of a conspiracy by the costume designer to give Harry, Bill, and Sam clothes that don't fit them.
  • "I fright a storm is coming" I mean come on
  • Lily James is a adept vocalist I'll requite her that fifty-fifty if her emphasis is Rough at times
  • This storm is simply upsetting, why are they doing this
  • Consensus: Young Sam looks like a combination of Taylor Lautner in New Moon + Tom Brady only like he's trying to exist a cowboy
  • Baked 2 is quoting poetry in their segment and information technology'south…wow
  • The lens flares hither are a choice
  • Donna would dance in an orange grove with a bright orangish skirt
  • The transitions into the songs are awful
  • Immature Sam's dress fit him but he has as well many buttons open and then my costume designer conspiracy stands
  • Why does Young Rosie'south shirt look similar the new Strokes anthology embrace
  • Ah yes the dull acapella intro to this movie'due south rendition of Mamma Mia
  • I appreciate the use of "Angeleyes" though
  • The choreography is a bit much only them pausing betwixt "ah-ha-ha"s to remind Sophie that men suck was frankly worse
  • I agree with Buzzed i that the ferry ticket man is sneakily the all-time grapheme, I would beloved a flick that focused solely on him
  • I as well wonder if my true soulmate is carbs
  • With respect what the hell is Amanda Seyfried wearing
  • God this is cheesy…and very dumb…and very irrelevant…I'm all for "Dancing Queen" just this is too much
  • What happened to Sophie's friends from the showtime moving picture…similar her only friends are her mom's friends and her three maybe-dads
  • The slow-mo and the lens flare while she kisses Sky is too much…besides Sophie delight have off your poncho
  • "Your ears are material" — the landlady person has had the best lines in the moving-picture show
  • Baked 1 thinks that the character they're virtually similar is the equus caballus, I have no comments that'due south kind of wholesome
  • Non the helicopter
  • Not Sophie calling specific attention to the audio
  • Non the single silver open-toed heel stepping out of the helicopter
  • Because it's fourth dimension for Cher
  • She's wearing a blonde wig and white power conform and speaking French
  • Even the mode she does air quotes is pretty cool
  • Wondering if this island has a law stating that all pants must be flared
  • I didn't want "Fernando" to happen like this, THIS WAS THE THING THAT HAPPENED Every bit Function OF THE THROWAWAY MENTION OF HER GRANDMA'South HEART GETTING BROKEN IN CENTRAL AMERICA??
  • This scene is also victim of awkward staging (Bored 2 is UPSET) merely Cher is indeed pretty fabulous
  • These fireworks are Apropos
  • HOW did Fernando end up in Hellenic republic?
  • Buzzed one merely spoiled everything
  • Confused virtually *REDACTED*'due south appearance hither simply the vocal was overnice I approximate
  • Buzzed 2 says this is the best scene (Cher singing "Super Trooper"!) and frankly I'chiliad inclined to agree
  • Final thoughts: Information technology was a mediocre but fun enough movie…but to exist honest I think I'd rather simply listen to all of ABBA's discography again

Bored ii

  • Nigh of my experience with the MMCU (Mamma Mia Cinematic Universe) was captured via osmosis from my sister and my female parent. However, instead of sharing their wicked glee at the applesauce of it, I felt a large cynicism at the vapid song-and-dance of it all. So many prominent actors cashing in on a story that was somehow besides ridiculous to exist a simple romcom. And then they decided to make a sequel. Well, here information technology goes I guess.
  • Ten years later, nosotros offset out with Amanda Seyfried a capella. Treating Meryl Streep as if she has died is a proficient bear on. The choreography for an impromptu sing-along at a graduation anniversary is unreasonable in melody. "The law of geometry" might be the worst lyric I've heard in a musical. They decide to all pack one suitcase together and I'thou bothered. I see a problem in the hereafter arising where they keep to portray the ABBA lyrics in a literal sense.
  • The male counterpart doesn't know how to look expert while singing. Who knew that Greece could look so good when information technology's not either burning or buried in debt? Not a single grapheme in this movie would brand sense in a leather jacket, young Harry to the lowest degree of all. I'grand trying to figure out who'due south Napoleon and who's Cromwell in this relationship.
  • The cinematographer conspicuously loves Wes Anderson.
  • Pierce Brosnan is most to sing, quaking in my boots.
  • Boat guy arrives and he is very Scandinavian.
  • Adrien Brody showed upwards in a tiny dinghy and I'g not sure if part of me thinks that almost coastal Mediterranean people look like Adrien Brody.
  • It's physically incommunicable that Donna didn't get an insane amount of splinters in her thighs sliding downwards that staircase. John Carter is the third dear interest.
  • Since anybody wants to quote verse I'll add together my own.
  • Lines on the Antiquity of Microbes (Fleas)
  • Adam
  • Had'em
  • Strickland Gillilan
  • I'm getting caught in the vicious bicycle of getting bored and wishing for a song to come up up and then immediately regretting that wish once the songs come effectually.
  • I just realized these 3 men basically just own a fourth dimension share on Donna's girl.
  • I had to inform Buzzed 2 that Bill Nye played Upton Sinclair in Mank.
  • "It'south chosen karma and it'south pronounced 'ha!'" Is the best line so far and information technology'south made past a character that shows up in one case.
  • "Dancing Queen" boat scene is the most unnecessary thing ever.
  • HELICOPTER CHER SCENE
  • Fernando is making Cher walk towards him and I don't appreciate it.
  • The excessive amount of fireworks certainly started the Hellenic republic fires.
  • This picture show would accept been less ridiculous if they just said that Cher was really her grandmother.
  • In conclusion, the movie is stupid but I did laugh at how stupid it was.
