HSM (2006) rewatch pt 13

13: Moving the callbacks

Hahahaha look at him all excited, yeah hype yourself up king. Also bi finger guns!

He’s wearing a green baseball top now, I don’t think we’ve seen it before but when he had to be the basketball guy, he’d wear a red baseball tee and when he was more “just a guy” he wore green or blue. Now it’s a mix of both, he’s confident in both sides of himself! (I think I'm so smart pointing out outfit colours in these commentaries)

Wah they're so cute! Also the first installment in the "Troy checks his non-existent watch" saga

Okay to the “Sharpay is the victim” crowd: if she’s so hard working and great at theatre she shouldn’t have felt threatened by Troy and Gabriella! She should have played it fair and trusted her own skills, not used underhanded tactics to sabotage them. If she can't handle some competition, she's not gonna have a great time pursuing theatre in the future.

And what's with the weird revisionism with Sharpay being a hardworking girlboss while Troy and Gabriella get everything handed to them and don't take theatre seriously? Like are we watching the same movie? They both genuinely wanted to perform, and have been rehearsing a lot with Kelsi - so much so that their friend groups got pissed off about it. I get it, Sharpay is iconic but you don't have to paint her as the real hero just so you can feel morally justified in liking her. You can like characters who are mean, it's okay. Hold my hand. Now lets watch the movie again and pay attention this time.

And don't get me started with the Gabriella hate, the amount of times I've seen people cry sexism for Sharpay's treatment in the films and then turn around to call Gabriella a bitch...

Darbus: I don’t want to hear any more about Troy Bolton and that Montez girl. Darbus: So, if you're telling me as co-presidents of the drama club that changing the callbacks would be what's best for our theatre programme, then I might actually agree with you.

It seems like they convinced Darbus that it’s all just some big trick, but I don’t see why Darbus would agree to changing the callbacks? Why not let them audition and just choose Sharpay and Ryan anyway? I just don’t think she would agree to preventing them from coming at all it’s so underhanded. Unless they convinced her they’re planning a big prank during the callbacks or something??? It’s a bit contrived, I’ll admit.

Aw Kelsi looks so sad :(

I just realised that the game and scholastic decathlon being on the same day means that a hypothetical science-loving basketball player would be having the same predicament already lol

EVAPORATE, TALL PERSON!

The way Chad is immediately ready to commit violence so Troy can go to the callbacks LOL it’s sweet, but again I feel like we’re missing a proper resolution between them?

Alright Chad and Taylor I see you holdings hands. But also we needed more development on that, or like even one single moment they can share that isn’t about Troy and Gabriella

[matrivers]

okay i know i’ve made like four posts about this but like…would anyone read it if i wrote…like…a single “high school musical: on stage” fanfiction? not even about troy or gabriella but about like…kelsi…eating lunch in darbus’s classroom…and like…she hates jack scott…and so they pull pranks on him…is this too niche?

[generalwildcat]

Ashlyn calling Ms Darbus, Alyson Fricking Reed.

YES. SHE GETS IT.

WHEN SOMEONE IS THAT AMAZING THEY AUTOMATICALLY EARN FRICKING AS THEIR MIDDLE NAME. YOU DO NOT ADDRESS THEM ANY DIFFERENTLY.

ALYSON. FRICKING. REED.

Also can we talk about the fangirl feeling seeing Ms Darbus on our screens again? Because the fangirling is real and I am a puddle.

[sunnnflowwwer]

tonight's show hasn't even started and I'm already sweating ha ha ha ha ahabbabababbabanab kill me

[hsm-sideblog]

No but...why IS Ms Darbus just...there. At school. In the middle of the night?

Was she summoned by the theatre fairies? Happily in the kitchen making dinner and then suddenly, boof, “I sense that someone is having a theatrical breakdown on a stage! I must convince them to work in theatre!!”

[phoebenpiperx]

[inkbutterflyuniverse]

Sooo the plot of the HSM4 movie is that Ms Darbusse will retire next year and she had this monologue where she explains that it's not an end that she retires.

But then, from what Coach Bolton said after the wrap, the end of the movie is that Bailey convince her to stay?

Like, I understand that you don't want to let her go, but she deserves to retire. It's been years since she's teaching drama to East High students. She was there before Troy and Gabriella, and she stayed 15 years after. I think that she deserves that retirement.

HSM (2006) rewatch pt 14

14: Work this out

A Pi pie except it’s actually a cake. So… the cake is… a lie?

Zeke the MVP, love how the guys are giving him the credit

The way Troy says “oh it’s an… equation!” cracks me up

Where did they hide those little basketballs. Also why?

I find it so funny that Chad is the one to get Sharpay and Ryan to watch the GO DRAMA CLUB thing when just yesterday he was ready to throw hands with them. Also it kind of looks like he goes up to Ryan first, looks between them then decides to drag Sharpay out haha,, I'm delusional

And Sharpay just goes with it!

EXCLAMATION POINT! He says it so happily hahahaha

Ryan dyslexic??

I know the point is to show camaraderie between the groups and to convince Darbus they’re not fucking around, but that little show was kinda pointless, you printed out those shirts for these 5 seconds? Are they planning to wear them in the audience of the musical? I got flashbacks to Shrek 3 for some reason

Geez, did anyone actually have this much school support for their sports team? Idk about you guys but the second that bell rings, I am OUTTA THERE you cannot make me sit and watch some people I don’t know play sports. We don’t even have bleachers in the UK lol

Coach B: What I want is for you to have fun Coach B: I know all about the pressure, and probably too much of it has come from me. 'Cause what I really want is to see my son having the time of his life playing the game we both love

Disney dad becomes a good dad at the last minute, classic. They still don't discuss the singing thing though

Both competitions are against the same school lol, are there no other schools in the area

I love Kelsi’s suit!

Ryan’s t-shirt says New York on it, foreshadowing? No, it’s not. But I can dream and overanalyse as much as I want.

The twins’ warmup is so silly but iconic

I find it crazy these scholastic decathlons exist, gotta respect Americans for making anything and everything into a competition

Is this kid just here for his watch? What is it with this movie and watches? Also Darbus’s fit slaps actually

Bop to the top! I’m confused, is this song part of the musical? Or did they just completely make it up? Darbus mouths the lyrics so I guess it's in the musical but did Kelsi write it? If it's for the main characters then how does it fit into the story and their dynamic? Why is it Spanish? Did Sharpay and Ryan alter it? So many questions!

Anyway it’s catchy, it's iconic, it relates to them “blowing away the competition”, but idk I don’t care for it as much as others? B tier, choreography looks fun though

Alright Ryan work those hips!

Hahaha they actually say shake some booty and turn around

[matrivers]

me: i need a new fandom to get into…

my director (about to change my life): so there’s these high schoolers, and they’re in a musical—

[spookberry]

In the first High School Musical we get a montage of different people auditioning, all of which arent super amazing but Ms. Darbus surprisingly responds very kindly to most of them and encourages their attempts. Which is then followed by Troy saying "darbus is harsh" like ??? No shes not?????
