BURLESQUE TRAILER
So a while back I posted about a new movie musical “Burlesque”. Well, the trailer is here so I guess I’ll post it and write about it. Here it is, more talk after the naked women.
Why are Cher and Christina in this? Why? Who thought they would be great leads? Let’s be honest and just say the facts.
1) The music is just Christina riffing and yelling at us. Can she just hold out a single note without sounding like a robot?
2) Stanly Tucci. You are fantastic, however, I hope you still feel confident after this film is released.
3) Kristin Bell. I love you.
4) Cher. You are a walking talking puppet from the Jim Henson closet of nightmares. You. Scare. Me.
5) Did I see Alan Cumming? That would be a plus.
What do you guys think? Could this work out in the end? Do you all think this could be the next great movie musical?

Frankly, I think Cher and Stanley Tucci (an Oscar winner and nominee, respectively) give this movie credibility.
It’s got potential, especially if it stays true to the ideas of the original burlesque shows that gave “Chicago” and “Cabaret” a reason to be written. It also seems to be less of a musical and more of a movie with singing in it.
I’ll be incredibly disappointed if they break out into song off the stage floor in this one.
Beyond that, it’s your typical small-town girl trying to grasp her dreams type film that has been popular and over-done for generations. Meh.
