NEWSIES!!! I love Newsies! It's one of my favorite movies ever!!! I didn't even realize that there was no Newsies thread! But I'm happy that someone did!!! This movie is amazing!!! I am in love with Christian Bale...and I love all the other boys! But I'd have to say that my fave newsies are Racetrack, Jack and Crutchy! It's just all so good...I own the musical score, video, DVD and CD!!! I watch this movie all the time...it's a classic!!! EVERYONE SHOULD SEE IT! Ok...bye!

I've always heard good things about this movie but have never seen it. [img]smilies/pout.gif[/img] But since I like Christian Bale I must see it. I should probably go rent it tonight or something.

Mollz

Yeah,...you should!!! It's such a cute movie!! It's funny and sweet and has some cute guys!! (Esp. Christian Bale!) It's such a good movie!!

Lady_Lee

I know. I think I'm going to definitely rent this movie tonight and watch it. It's on DVD right? Cause then I can make some screen caps and post them here. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Mollz- I've never seen Urinetown but I like your sig. Tom Cavanagh from Ed just joined the cast.

Definitely rent Newsies! It's a classic! Don't expect it to be a masterpiece, just have fun with it!

Mollz

Lady_Lee- Yeah it's on DVD...I hope you like it!

OptimisticCynic- Thanks! I just recently saw the show...I saw it with Tom! It was great...and so funny, so I just had to put something from it in my sig!!

The special edition DVD has so many special features! Different interviews with the cast (including Christian) and a commentary and everything. Definitely rent the DVD.

Tom C and the cast of Urinetown were in a Broadway concert the other day. I don't know what song they sang but Tom wasn't there. So they kept on saying "Bobby? Where are ya Bobby? Bobby, it's been years! Bobby? BOBBY! We kinda need ya here..." and Tom comes up and he says "sorry I had to sign an autograph." It was really funny, the cast kept on laughing and messing up and having to restart over. Adorable.

edited to add: Maybe Tom will present at the Tony's on Sunday.

LOL...maybe he will! He's so cute!!! I love him!! But anyway, I love the Newsies DVD...it's so funny! I own it and watch it a lot!! I love the extras!!! OMG...I'm gonna tell one of my most embarresing stories ever...So, a few summers ago I had nothing to do for like the whole month of July...so I would sit in my living room with the air conditioner on (b/c there was a horrible heat wave that summer) and I'd watch movies all day long! But I didn't watch different movies...I'd watch the same movie over and over all day long...and then the next day, I'd do a different movie! There were 3 that I rotated...Can't Hardly Wait, The Faculty and NEWSIES! IT's embarressing, but I don't really care...at least now I'm able to quote pretty much the whole thing!!!

You know what's hysterical? The Newsies drinking game.

Here it is:

from here

Fairly simple to play - What you need:
A Newsies video tape, a VCR, lots and lots of your favorite beverage
(notice I am neither condoning nor discouraging the use of alcohol - it's your call)

Take one sip whenever:


Race, Mush, or Blink slap each other in the head.
Someone's voice cracks.
There's a glimmer of hope for our boys.
Pulitzer vows to crush the Newsie's strike.
Someone has a good idea.
Someone exclaims "No!"
You find yourself talking the characters on screen.
Blink gets whiny.
Jack disappoints someone.
Somebody does a nifty acrobatic flip.
Jack is being chased.
Denton snorts/ sneers.
Anyone yells "Bummer(s)!"
... "Scab(s)!"
... "Brooklyn!"
Somebody mentions "Roosevelt and the carriage."
...two sips if it's someone other than Jack.
Crutchy looks pathetic.
Sarah is sweet and sugary.
The cheesy backdrop is really obvious.
Race makes a smartass remark.

Take two sips whenever:

You really wouldn't be able to tell what someone is saying if you didn't have the whole movie memorized already.
You spot a glaring blooper.
Somebody says something without moving their lips.
Jack has a complete personality change.
Spot, Mush, or any other newsie is inexplicably in two places at once.
A woman other than Medda or Sarah is on screen.
Sarah looks helpless. (Thanks, Bookmark and K-NINE!)
Slingshots are in use. (Thanks again, Bookmark and K-NINE!)
Someone is hit on the chin, constituting a black eye later in the film.
Someone mysteriously changes clothes in the middle of a scene (adding/ losing articles of clothing counts).
Pulitzer thinks he's got Jack right where he wants him.
Somebody listens to David.
Denton foots the bill.
The Jacobs look like a real family.
Race loses a bet.
Skittery makes a weird noise before he begins talking.
Any of the boys are in their underpants.
Da bulls start chasing somebody.
Jack beats the crap out of laundry.
Anyone's accent wanders.
Someone walking through the room makes fun of you for watching Newsies.
It's obvious that Jack wants Sarah. *

Two sips and a cigarette for:

Pelvic thrust! (hehe - thanks Slick!)

Drink up everything in site if:


Race says something intelligent.
Sarah says something deep.
Les decapitates someone with that sword.
David beats the crap out of Jack.
A mob of screaming teenaged girls runs on screen and attacks Gabe.
The boys are seen buying cigarettes.
Mush has a bad hair day.
Spot dances, fights, or does anything other than stand around looking tough.
Someone falls down and breaks their nose while dancing.
Pulitzer lightens up.
Weasel shaves.
Oscar and Morris decide to be nice - for no reason.
The boys pay for anything themselves.
Medda is really a man.
The gang is saved from certain doom through divine intervention.
Brooklyn appears... Without a slingshot! (thanks, Lyric!)
Medda falls off her swing. (thanks, Bookmark and K-NINE!)
Pulitzer is de-masked in the end and it's - (gasp!) Old man Maguire! "But we thought you were killed in that fire! It was you all along!" "That's right! And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you darn kids and your Mystery Machine!"
The Newsies actually have a Mystery Machine.
It's obvious that Denton wants David. *


* If it starts becoming blatantly erotic, finish your drink and turn off the VCR. Congratulations. You've won.

I saw the movie over the weekend and it was great. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I liked Crutchy and Jack. [img]smilies/love.gif[/img] Christian Bale did a great job with the New York accent I must say.

RBS722

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Lady_Lee

I have had this one line in my head for two days now..

Persephone Pixie

I love Newsies! I'm so glad there's a thread for it. Of course, I was in love with Christian Bale, but I think they're all my favorites. [img]smilies/love.gif[/img] I have to listen to "Seize the Day" at least once a day or I'm not a happy camper, heheh.
