Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018) is the gripping tale of a young woman coming to terms with the loss of her mother in a time in which she needs her most. Faced with a number of hardships ranging from material loss to the apparent withdraw of her lover both physically and emotionally, Sophie must learn to tackle her difficulties with grace and poise. With the support of her 3 fathers, Sophie finds within her the strength to overcome adversity and even make amends with her estranged grandmother.
Ol Parker, known for directing such works as Now is Good (2012) and Imagine me and You (2005), has breathed life anew into one of the world’s most beloved stories. Additionally, cinematographer Robert D. Yeoman offers us much more than static mid-shots and talking heads, with creative attempts to consistently one-up the amount of movement in each consecutive shot. The team in charge of delivering this, one of the year’s most anticipated films, ensure that the expertly written, visceral flashbacks that detail the struggles of one woman in pursuit of self-fulfillment and an escape from society’s expectations, parallel the journey taken by her own daughter many years after these initial events took place.
This sequel tackles the heavy themes of what it means to be independent woman (who, despite insistence otherwise, will always ultimately feel the need to rely on a man), the way in which we mourn, and the intense urge to fill the holes in one’s life with spontaneous bursts of song.
All this, accomplished with the use of ABBA’s greatest hits, inarguably the very essence of the 80s.
Good times abound in this feel-good, playful romp of a film – one cannot claim to have truly lived without having witnessed the honest, actual, life-changingly magnificent visage of a man “to whom age has been kind, like a fine wine or cheese”, the Firthster himself.
! That is to say, 10 Mammas out of Mia, v gay, would watch again
My (incredibly well thought-out) plan consists of the the following:
1. Actually bother to show up this time (a rather tall order if I do say so myself)
2. Be found out immediately (whether from lack of ability to roleplay or from lack of ability to care enough to attempt it)
3. Complain in my confessional about everyone being too serious and taking the fun out of the game because I don't stand a chance at anything myself (as per usual)
4. Be irrelevant to the state of the game in every regard and only kept around for amusement purposes until I…
5. Get voted off
How many years has it been? Am I still a participant at this point, or just a fixture of the game now?
I've become jaded in my old age~ ♡
Excellent post, Kitsune! :D too bad some of us never got to experience rule #6 :ninja:
I'm blaming Gazz for this one. I won by ONE vote, and she picked me because she liked how I cook Mac and cheese. Just let that sink in xD
Ooooooh yeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaahhh~ that happened ~
Good times.

Also, I hope everyone was prepared to be disappointed today.
I'm here. I'll sign up. I guess.
You are crazy and I have no idea what you mean.
You just wait. I'm going to get my precious $5 even if I have to prove you wrong again.
Have you ever bet someone $5 that they couldn't do something?
Like really violently insisted that it was impossible…
Only to be proven wrong when they did it?
I'm looking at you Cookie. :getlost:

- If you have played before, do try and shake your list up a bit. If you've exclusively played as Baroque Works or CP9 agents in the past, try and branch out a little, so it's not immediately obvious who you are.
I take actual, personal offense to this stipulation.
Ah jeez, I'm here.
I'll join survivor if you guys tell Wooden to stop bugging me at work. Gosh. I'll also hit Cookie up because I guess we're a package or something now??
If I recall, middle aged was the way your disappointed professor put it.
My disappointed professor called me a middle aged British man. He would not be nearly so kind to these buffoons, i'm afraid.
What is that? A picture of random middle aged British guys?
Essentially. Middle aged is a nice way to put it, though.
Did you expect anything different from me?
If so, I'm disappointed. I thought you knew me better than that.
Hey Gazz, how is…
stares at Ianto Jones for 5 minutes
Hm? Oh, yes. Carry on.
I have this problem (albiet, a more giggly version) literally every time I open my laptop.
My desktop background, ladies and gentlemen:
!
I need to do something about it. It's been there too long and it's beginning to interfere with my productivity.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
I fixed it.
!
Now my professor will be even more disappointed in my life decisions. This brings me great pleasure.
(This is also more relevant at the moment, so it'll do )
Oh, thank goodness! I was actually really nervous about how I was going to participate while simultaneously moving back to the States.
But definitely count me in if it does ever come back into existence!
(And also good luck with everything! :) )
It is I, summoned up from the depths of inactivity, ready to sign up for what is probably going to be a really unintelligent decision on my part.
I honestly have way too much going on to even consider doing this right now.
But eh. 4 is my favorite number.

I really hope you aren't kidding~~ ♡
You win the thread, Woody. SERIOUSLY.
Well guys, it's time to pack it in.
It was fun while it lasted.
is it as simple as using your computer's microphone and uploading it to soundcloud or something?
It is if you're thecookiemaster or I. I don't know about the others.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Might I suggest that we choose broader themes, in the future?
For example: "sing a song from your favorite cartoon" rather than "sing a song from Steven Universe" so that no one ends up getting excluded.
Ok I'm just going to go ahead and do this since I HAVE THE POWAH:
Let's do Steven Universe songs!
I'll be doing Strong in the Real Way! :D
Welp. :I
I guess I'll join in for the next theme. Have fun guys.
On another note, I think the competition idea sounds like a lot of fun and different themes are a great way to keep this thread alive as long as possible! :D
@Sky:
So good, all of them! We should do a Violin/Viola duet.
Yo. YO. I'm all about this.
(although such a thing does not technically belong in this thread, oops. >.>)
We need to do that duet. Something I can remember our lost love by~<3
I still ship it.
Since I'm already embarrassing myself….
Here! A master post of my singing so far:
! BONUS
Not singing at all, but instead me doing a quick little thing on my broke-ass violin.
Bahahaha no but honestly ABBA songs are so much fun, as soon as I played your video for the first time I was like YEEEEEEES O_O oh and the zooming into Colin Firth's face at the end was hilarious lol. Do moooooooooreeeeeeee
Also Cookie gets ALL of the credit for this.
She was all on her own when it came to the actual video.
I actually saw the final copy of it way later than most of you. XD
Omg four hours, well I for one will say THANK YOU for all the hard work you guys put into it, honestly that video is one of the best things that came out of the game xD I just listened to the whole thing twice again lol. AND YES bloopers yes please. Did you do the editing? What do you use?
Just garageband. :P
We didn't actually tamper with the sound at all, just layered ourselves a bit.
Alright, as of just a moment ago the making of a third duet has been confimed.
Any suggestions on what it should be? Anything you'd like to hear? Want us to surprise you?
Uggh, that role play was painful. I nearly even texted Gazz in it =.=
I can confirm this.
I think all of us would really appreciate that :D and holy crap did you guys practice a lot for that? Or you're just big fans of Mamma Mia? You're incredibly synchronized and even have the harmony parts down lol <3
That's actually a really funny question.
Cookie just really likes Mamma Mia so she knows the tune (although not all of the lyrics, I found out) by heart.
I had only seen the movie for the first time about a week prior and didn't know any Abba before that so I was really just winging it and hoping it turned out well.
We did do a bit of editing on it, hence the part where there are like six of us talking over each other, but other than that it was just the two of us belting it out into a crappy laptop microphone.
We totally sang together all the time as kids though, so maybe that's where the "synchronized" part comes from? :happy:
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Hehe…it took us about four hours to do that. ^^;; we practiced a lot and then sang over ourselves to create the harmonies. Maybe I'll post the bloopers. XD
This. ^
Cookie was miserable by the end of those couple of hours, if you couldn't tell by the credits. XD
Thank you thank you xD you guys put the biggest smile on my face I swear. And quiet now, you have an absolutely gorgeous voice <3 throws a pot of mac & cheese at you
accepts flying mac & cheese happily
Maybe her and I can try and make at least one more song for you before there's an ocean between us. Try as we might, it will never be as amusing as this one was, though.
repost your Abba pleeeeeeease? o.o
UGGGGGGGGHHHH
Fine.
Oh you better believe that we'll doing a cross ocean duet.
Hahaha~
Sure! You'll just have to hit me up when you figure out how exactly that is possible. :P

I'm so sorry, world... (◐ x ◑ );;

What a shame that I'm all out of songs to sing~
…> .>;..
@Sky:
Because I was actually a 42 year old man, remember?
Oh, yes of course, I don't know what I was thinking. <3
I still ship it.

Hey now Vivi was 12, she didn't seem to bothered by it :D
And wait, why was I under the impression that she was older at the time?
It takes place over 39 days if NateRich is hosting and 39 years if I'm hosting
This.
(Also, I laughed).
Also, I'd like to announce that if Galaxy game gets 18 players, I will officially host Survivor 6. If it only gets 16, I will not commit.
creates fake accounts through which to sign up
Anyone who signs up will earn my undying gratitude and affection~ <3
Wait, is the game seriously back on? ☆ w☆
Count me in~ my vote goes to survivor!
sigh
I experienced some unexpected Survivor-related nostalgia today… (。•́︿•̀。)
I hope that we can all get to play together again, some day~
It'd be a shame not to be able to do it ever again~~
It's really a lot of fun~~~
I will be a lot more organized about this than Survivor 4 I promise, though. :)
I'm just going to leave this here. :)
Well, if you guys say so, I suppose I will join in after all. :happy:
I'll do my best!
You both can do eet! :3
believes in you
But what if I just ruin the whole experience for others?!
I mean, I don't even know how this particular game works, really.
I'd sign up if I had any confidence in participating in something that isn't survivor!
….But I don't. ; A;
As long as we don't start tomorrow, I'm good. :/
I think it is just as likely Paulie's butt. :3
