#1Should I see 13 or White Christmas?
Posted: 12/21/08 at 2:26pmSince they are both closing Jan. 4th i can only see one. I'm thirteen, but i'm also a fan of the movie white christmas. I'm leaning towards 13 because i think White Christmas will be back next year. What do you think I should see?

Posted: 12/21/08 at 2:30pmDon't see 13 just because you are 13. I would go with White Christmas in a heartbeat, even if it will be back next year (although I am not sure if it will be).

That's like asking, "hey guys, should I eat my own crap or a steak tonight?"
Of course you should see White Christmas.

Posted: 12/21/08 at 4:54pmI think the better question is, are you or your parents willing to shell out the money for White Christmas? Its prices are up there..
Men don't even belt.

While PERSONALLY you couldn't pay me enough to see 13...that might not be the right answer for YOU.
Which will you be more disappointed to have missed? There is a better chance that WC will come back then will 13. I can't even see too many regional or community groups going with show since so few folks would have ever had heard of it. For as much as MOST of us here abhor 13....there are others that feel strongly the other way...perhaps you would be among them (just dont tell us about it! --haha)
If you want QUALITY and worthiness above all else: WC, but personally there are better shows than THAT to see as well.
Good luck with your choice! (Oh...and 13 is gads cheaper -- look for discount codes -- and you will probably be able to get MUCH better seats for it as well.)
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

does it matter??
I still wouldn't go see this garbage even if it was like $30
it's not closing soon enough! good riddance!
#21re: Should I see 13 or White Christmas?
Posted: 12/21/08 at 9:58pmAre you being serious? White Christmas all the way! If I wanted to see "13", I'd walk into my school's cafeteria.
kchenofan's computer is broken right now. This is her fridge. Now, you can leave a message, but say it slowly, so I can write it on a post-it note and stick it to myself.

Do kids in your school's cafeteria regularly break into catchy but forgettable Jason Robert Brown song, replete with cringe-worthy lyrics and Christopher Gatelli choreography?
And no, 13 isn't on TDF at the moment. Most likely because kids are seeing it over holiday break.

Posted: 12/21/08 at 10:46pmif he did that, it would probably HURT your case for "13"
