Current Events > Just saw the greatest showman ama

(+) Yeah! (+)

I liked the songs
---

how'd you feel about the rest of it?
---

as a movie, it was weirdly structured but I loved every scene with Zendaya because holy fuck she is fucking beautiful.

Idk why I've been obsessed with her recently but she's definitely my WCW.

It's worth seeing, it's really not as bad as the reviews make it out to be.
---

is it worth paying for to watch in a cinema?
---

I have MoviePass but on these 3 conditions should you pay for it
1) You like musicals
2) You're a fan of Barnum & Bailey
3) you like Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, or Zendaya
---

Also the main song (The Greatest Show) is low key one of my fav songs now
---

Does it completely whitewash the torture and abuse the show animals endured?

*head-desk*

Because you didn't capitalise the title, I thought you meant an actual showman. I was about to ask who it was.

how does MoviePass work, again?

yup, although he does get harassed in the form of newspaper articles and protests

you pay $9.95 a month (Or theres a yearly option for like 20 bucks or something cheaper, but its $89 up front I think), they send you a card in the mail, you download the app and activate your card, go to a movie theater, "check in" on the app so it loads the funds for the movie, buy a ticket, and bam.

The cool down now resets at midnight local time apparently instead of the 24 hours it was before.

thanks.

I'll probably invest in it soon.

I don't see why people hold off on it, you can literally break even/save money by seeing one movie a month. It's also exposing me to movies I'd think twice about going to see. Like theres no way I'd normally see a movie like Ferdinand or Downsizing but now I'm thinking about it

and for you history nuts, the movie is completely inaccurate and I'm surprised anyone in the movie took the role. Barnum was a piece of shit irl and in this movie he's portrayed as a misunderstood hard working family man.

Hell, the ending even has him pass down the torch(literally and figuratively) to Troy Bolton to proclaim he's going to focus on his family
