If you weren't there for the opening of Porky or Flashdance, try to make it for Pitch Perfect.

Here's a positive review:

1. Meh. Kinda looks like Glee.

3. Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson will make an interesting combo.

I thought Glee was good the first few times I saw it, but it's very formulaic. I rather watch the Voice and X-Factor if it's really all about discovering raw talent.

5. I don't know who they are.

I only watched Glee a couple of times. It was boring and yes, formulaic.

I have gotten into watching TCM. I love Fred Astaire and old movies. The clothes are fabulous and the dancing is elegant and kicks ass.

6. I grew up on a military base overseas.

Just, for those who don't know, they would replay all of the old b&w's back when I was growing up, so my impressions of the American community came from what you are seeing in TCM. It was about ten to twenty years older than my generation. The reason we saw all the old stuff had to do with copyrights. It was just cheaper, I guess, than importing current material.

As much as I wouldn't give up that upbringing, I do like the honesty and reality from today's generation.

Anna Kendrick got noticed for the first time in Twilight. She was one of the humans. She got an Academy Award nomination for Up in the Air, with George Clooney.

Rebel Wilson played the part of the creepy roommate in Bridesmaids.

Both of them give outstanding interviews. Very quick and witty.

7. A bunch of those movies were made before

I was born. I believe some may have been made during the Depression, where the last dang people wanted was 'reality' simply because theirs sucked.
It was also the style. Just as it's vampires and zombies now, back then people like musicals with lots of dancing.

8. Not to mention that Hollywood employed a lot of people to make those big number productions.

I was in the one digits for most of the sixties, so it was WAY before my time too.

2. Oh SHIT that looks funny! Thanks. It's on the list. I'll probably wait for RedBox, but it's a must.

4. It looks promising and the reviews aren't bad.
