Comments on: Christopher Plummer called it ‘The Sound of Mucous’ http://fridayplaydate.com/christopher-plummer-called-it-the-sound-of-mucous/ entirely true, but exaggerated for comic effect Mon, 08 Sep 2008 13:58:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: Orson Smelles http://fridayplaydate.com/christopher-plummer-called-it-the-sound-of-mucous/#comment-7901 Orson Smelles Tue, 01 May 2007 00:39:00 +0000 http://fridayplaydate.com/christopher-plummer-called-it-the-sound-of-mucous/#comment-7901 It's one of the few musicals that I actually like... it's had the opposite effect on me through the years. <br/><br/>I hated it as a child, as my mom would play the soundtrack constantly (and sing along, which got old quickly), but today I appreciate Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer... and the mountains, for that matter.<br/><br/>So I disagree, but I can kinda see where you're coming from at the same time.

Brought up on The Sound of Music as a kid (we had the LP!)I knew every word to every song and Julie Andrews simply WAS Maria. When I saw a photograph of the late Maria Von Trapp I was devestated. When you have seen the movie as often as I have its not difficult to spot the weaknesses; all those sentimental Hammerstein lyrics; overdoing the mountain views in the first half; and those appalling children trying to act. Ughhh, I shudder at the thought. But it is 2006 - now 41 years after its release, and musical film has come on a long way - so lets not not be too harsh. Its still a concept with great appeal - good story, love interest, humour, good v. evil, a bit of religion and children. What more does a family need? But please folks, give it a chance. And when you have, NEVER watch it again! Well, I for one have moved from love to loathing too.

I sing the goat song all the time until my 6-year-old son says, "Mom, STOP!!! I DO NOT WANT THAT SONG STUCK IN MY HEAD!!" You all would like him. I LOVE The Sound of Music.

Ever. For a while there I was actively avoiding it (I don't know why) but since deciding that I wouldn't mind seeing it, I just haven't had the chance. I can't be bothered renting it out and whenever it's on TV I always end up missing it. The only bit I ever seem to catch is when all the kids are going to bed and singing the "hey, we're off to bed" song. So I've seen that one bit about 5 times and nothing else...

Again! AGAIN!!!' and all you have heard for three days is the damn goat song because that's the ONLY song she wants. Over and over. (That never happened here, by the way--it was the 'Goodnight' song. Over and over and over and where is the remote or a hammer to smash the VCR oh my god make it STOP.)<br/><br/>It's not so cute then.
