: I loved the movie, but it was a BAD call to have her in it(or anyone for that matter), it wasn't necessary and no need for the movie to have a date stamp like that...I not saying the movie was ruined by it, and I'm sure Raimi had no control over it....but I just hated that part with a passion, not only does it ruin the suspension of disbelief, in the long run it will look weirder and weirder in the movie.....
... then in five years, the effects would.
Maybe it was Raimi trying to remind people of when it was shot so that they'd go easier on the effects, hm? Did you ever think of that?
And how, exactly, does it ruin suspension of disbelief that a major musical act would be performing at a made-up festival? I mean, is Macy Gray that much less realistic than a CGI red-blue spandex suit? Come on, get serious.
