Things I learned while watching High School Musical: Pop-up Edition last night

In High School Musical Special Events
The nation’s youth, who have made High School Musical the #1 album of 2006 and who continue to show off their illiteracy on this post, have a hard time separating reality and acting, and may or may not be dangerously stalking Zac Efron.- Lucas Grabeel was born in Missouri. Ashley Tisdale was born in New Jersey. The wee person who plays the shy composer is from Russia and was (duh) a ballerina.
- Ryan wears a lot of hats in the movie. Literally.
- Though the movie is set in Albuquerque, it was actually shot in Utah. At several different high schools. I don’t know about you, but my mind is blown.
- The person or people writing the pop-ups did no research and did not have access to the internet. After identifying practically everything on screen (Tony Hawk is a skateboarder. Stephen Sondheim is a musical theater composer. Karaoke is when you sing along with pre-recorded music.), they fail to identify perhaps the most obscure, but actually musical-related, reference: the original Phantom of the Opera, Michael Crawford. For some reason, this makes me crazy mad.
- In Los Angeles, there are people whose job it is to sparkle up any item of clothing.
- Ryan and Sharpay are two wine spritzers away from some really weird and hilarious incest.
- Everything is improved with pop-ups. Even completely inane pop-ups. Even incredibly cheesy made-for-TV musicals.

The best pop-ups were the ones that were totally uninformative, but taught us valuable lessons (“Those are her peers. They are pressuring her. PEER PRESSURE IS BAD!!!”)
And yeah, the first time I saw HSM (not that I’ve drunkenly watched it more than once or anything…) I totally thought Ryan and Sharpay were BF/GF until about halfway through the movie.

That post from June is hilarious. “EVERY1 IS GAY XEPT ME,” by anonymus might just make me watch this insane production.
