Thread Name: Confessions of an Authenticity Nurd!
Subject: RE: Confessions of an Authenticity Nurd!
I can usually live with Hollywood musical inaccuracies (unless the film is about an actual musician) because I know the general audience doesn't really care. Occasionally, though, it can be downright distracting. I love Scott Joplin and "The Sting" is an otherwise great movie, but why ragtime in a movie about the 1930's?
