Burlesque (Nov. 24)
What It Is: Nothing says Thanksgiving quite like two old drag queens rubbing themselves up against each other. That's essentially what this movie is, with Cher and Xtina Aguilera rattling around an LA burlesque nightclub. A burlesque club that involves singing. And Stanley Tucci. And the dead vampire from the first Twilight movie (teen girl spoiler). This movie is going to be so gay you are already gay. You were gay when you typed "gawker.com" into your search menu bar. Before you even clicked on this post! The gayness of Burlesque radiates hot from the core of the internet and it is making everyone everywhere gay forever. Enjoy the Earth when we're all dead from no-babies, all you animals. Children of Men is real, and it's all Burlesque's fault!
Should You See It: Well you're already gay, so you might as well. All the annoying gay kids you know are going to be hissing and giggling about it because it's So Bad, in that annoying way that certain annoying people revel in things that are So Bad (these are, like, Tyra Banks fans maybe?). They are the people who watch shows on E!. They are probably graduates of the musical theater program at the University of Michigan. Those kinds of people will see it. So you're going to hear about the movie anyway. You might as well see what all the fuss is about for yourself. Plus, did we mention Stanley Tucci?

I thought for sure it was going to be this one: http://www.youtube.com/wa...7tyW8CYXs (NSFW)

The fact that Cher is in this mess assures that I will never see it unless I'm captured and done up Clockwork Orange style.

Could this supplant Xanadu as Anx's favourite musical?

I saw the preview for this the other day.

What'd you think of Vicky Cristina Barcelona?

I dunno, I was too busy fantasizing about getting plowed by Javier.

I think he'll be here (for TIFF), this week.

I'm tempted to see it for Cher but honestly, this movie looks like a trainwreck with some glitter thrown at it for good measure
