    This is literally the first I’ve ever heard of it.

    I doubt I’m the only one and I’m sure that at least contributed to the problem.

    It wasn’t half as good as it thought it was. That’s the problem.

    the Hollywood epic centered on silent movie stars in the 1920s as they struggle to adapt during the industry’s transition to talkies.

    Not a premise I’m even slightly interested in. Then again, I’m not even close to an average moviegoer.

      That was basically the premise for Singing in the Rain and that movie was absolutely excellent.

      It is quite good.
      I never saw it as a wide audience kind of movie. It’s absolutely for movie lovers. More than a little inside baseball, history. If your into movies and old Hollywood. It’s absolutely for you.

    I enjoyed it. It did drag on a bit and the ending was feel good to the point of being nauseating, but there’s some great scenes and some of the dialogues I absolutely loved.

    I also liked how the underlining society in the movie just felt drab. Part of me wanted more debauchery to push the envelope but at the same time I think it was better as is.
