It's pathetic that this is your top story. Tax payers just payed out millions for this debauchery to be peddled on this state. It is a sad state indeed when you can't find a story more 'important' to the lives of Utahns than this.

"Most novels and pulp magazines are filled with a lot of rubbish, and most TV and a lot of radio programs are a waste of time, if not corruptors of morals or distorters of truth. The less newspapers have to say of value and of truth, the more pages they seem to take to say it. Usually a few minutes is more than sufficient to read a paper. One must select wisely a source of news; otherwise it would be better to be uninformed than misinformed. The subscribers of some mass magazines and newspapers are ever reading but seldom able to come to a knowledge of the truth in the areas of most vital concern." -Ezra Taft Benson

Why? | 8:44 a.m. May 3, 2008

Why do they always film it here in Utah?

My children and I love these movies! I admit the first time I watched one I thought it was quite silly and overacted, but taking the opportunity to sing and dance with my kids to a wholesome show is priceless. As far as I'm concerned High School Musical 3 should not be the last in this franchise if it is anything like the first 2 as it will lead to my kids and I having many more fun days and nights together singing, dancing, and having fun!

this is a great thing for Utah! they are using local crews to complete a lot of the work. there are laos a lot of parts for Utah actors. this is a big story for Utah and I welcome them here to spend their dollars and help fuel our economy.

Its neat that it will be filmed in Utah. I saw the press conference where it was said by their director that Utah has a lot of talent and it is a good place to work because Utah is beautiful and accomidating.

I wish the film well and my kids love it.

I went to East when Rosanne was there. Maybe she'll make a cameo appearance.

irritated | 2:29 p.m. May 3, 2008

I work at East High. It is extrememly irritating and disrespectful for Disney and the Salt Lake School district to agree to film this movie while school is still in session at East. Students and Teachers at the school are being asked to accomadate hundreds of disney people who should have no business being at our school until schools out. they couldn't wait a month to start filming? we shouldn't have to worry about release dates. I'd also like to know how much money the district is getting and where it's going. East High gets some free curtains and paint..WOW, what a bonus for us. Heres to putting education first.

optimistic one | 10:19 p.m. May 3, 2008

I'm a Nevadan and just drove through Salt Lake picking up my university aged daughter who also loves High School Musical...how about Nevada next time?

East High, if it looks anything like the movie, is what a high school should look like. You have a modern gym and bright classrooms in good repair. My kids attend schools in one of the top rated public school districts in the country and our high schools are so run down - getting curtains and a paint job would be terrific!

Dear Irritated.... | 2:06 p.m. May 4, 2008

My mother is also a school teacher. The gym at her school hasn't been remodeled in over 25 years. They would welcome the Wildcats and their paint and curtains anyday. In regards to putting education first, please open your mind to the idea that education comes in so many different forms. The kids at your school are lucky to be a part of something so exciting and wholesome. I personally wouldn't mind trading convenience to be among the excitement that this film has generated. Think outside the box!....This is a great thing! The film industry brings money to our state. I'm not going to bite the hand that feeds me. Bring them in by the droves! Our state loves tourism and the publicity from this film should only help us in that area.
