I waffle so much on Des McAnuff.
"Jersey Boys" was tight and lean - a combination of visual clarity and wit, sophistication, and just enough darkness for a commercial smash.
vs.
"Jesus Christ Superstar" was a fucking mess. Ugly, cheap, lazy ... made my blood boil.
vs.
"Fetch Clay, Make Man" at the NYTW. A nonmusical, it was visceral, raw, honest and exciting. Launched Ray Fisher into his current DC Film Universe (a separate nightmare).
vs.
"Guys and Dolls" - The less said, the better. Outside of Lauren Graham and Oliver Platt (casting that worked for me), this was a total failure.
Why is this guy so completely hit or miss? |
