Did anyone ever suggest the renfield/dracula/harker completion could be the TriState Area?

2024-12-21 01:14:15 +0000 UTCShitting on someone for a hobby they clearly love is pretty fucking weird. And getting loudly horny in a public setting is too, maybe that's why people look over their shoulders at you.

2024-12-19 23:52:13 +0000 UTCSomething that should be acknowledged, “Beautiful Ghosts” is also WRITTEN BY Taylor Swift and ALW, and it comedically is listed two separate times in the credits at the end.

Bryan Akerley
2024-12-17 07:53:32 +0000 UTCI would be willing to pay 10x as much for this Patreon if they covered better movies. I don’t even need the movies “covered” the way they do on main feed but honestly we’re all just paying for the convo anyway right? Why do they insist on movies like Cats to be the backdrop? I’m ok with the waste of money but it’s honestly starting to feel like torture. I really think they underestimate how much it sucks when they commit to these picks.

2024-12-16 13:22:08 +0000 UTCYes! The original Broadway production ran from 1982-2000. The revival ran from July 2016-Dec. 2017
Annie
2024-12-15 03:18:05 +0000 UTC4K or not, the Blu ray of Cats is completely worth it for the Tom Hooper commentary, where he has a very high-minded and philosophical discussion of his decisions in making the movie.
Clayton Spinney
2024-12-14 17:11:26 +0000 UTCA reminder that the effects for this movie were so rushed because Universal moved the release date of this movie by a year to delay Wicked. It's a release date swap that ended up working out for everyone involved!
Jose S. De Leon
2024-12-14 05:23:04 +0000 UTCI saw this as part of a Thursday night opening double feature between this and Rise of Skywalker. Saw Rise first and hated it so much that I chugged wine at the theater bar before my Cats showing and had a blast

2024-12-14 01:59:10 +0000 UTCIt reminds me of “medium talent” in that it seems more artfully cutting than to just flatly call it “undignified” or something

Jonathan Skufca
2024-12-13 19:52:31 +0000 UTC“Beautiful Ghosts” not only makes me cry almost every time I hear it but it made me respect Taylor Swift. I’m aware that’s insane not a joke. I just get sad thinking of lonely kitties haha

Marshy XIV
2024-12-13 16:37:04 +0000 UTCTruly just waiting now for the bonus game show episode where Griffin and David guess whether or not Alex likes or dislikes a thing. Maybe even get a couple other blankies guest all timers for a panel? I'd listen to the hell out of that.
Harrison Stanley
2024-12-13 12:51:01 +0000 UTCThe grading of Wicked is bad, but the actual huge sets and practical work is really cool (the CGI is whatever and not that much an issue while watching it).
Steven Ray Morris
2024-12-13 07:55:13 +0000 UTCA podcast intro after my own heart.
Steven Ray Morris
2024-12-13 07:53:57 +0000 UTCI also think Wicked looks like dog shit. And I feel like I’m being too nice by saying “think”. It does look like dog shit. And that has nothing to do with me being a man. That’s nonsense. Marie and other Wicked fans are just flat out lying if they say otherwise. You can’t dunk on Marvel movies and their white skies and stale color palettes and then say Wicked looks fine. $150 million dollar budget and the lighting and colors are aggressively bad. I don’t care if you were a 14 year old girl when you first experienced some iteration of the thing. THIS one looks bad. You can be honest about that and still speak to the fact that you like the music,performances or people involved etc so much that you’re choosing to overlook its glaringly obvious visual flaws . Some constructive criticism from a real Wicked fan encourages the next person to remake it to get it right. But shrugging it off and just claiming to love the thing or whatever just feels like the opposite will happen and they’ll care even less about the visuals next time. And I’m aware that this may be a side effect of the stars involved. Griffin even spoke to the fact that for Oceans 8 it was a struggle to light 8 different star actresses because they have their own particular demands to get their best lighting so these movies opt for a neutral bland middle ground. Wicked especially is lighting a black woman and these film cameras are often designed to only flatter white people. And to make the task even more difficult the woman’s entire body is GREEN. Add that to Ariana Grande who I’m sure has always had say in her lighting demands while also for some reason this last year or so she’s been paler than usual and her eyebrows are dyed blonde which ever since Thor 1 I’ve believed is a grave mistake.

2024-12-13 07:40:45 +0000 UTC"This movie is low on dignity" is one of the best David burns of all time
Begemott
2024-12-13 01:34:45 +0000 UTCTotally agree with Griffin, Cats is awesome, no exaggeration maybe the best time I’ve ever had in a movie theater and one of the most unusual movies ever made. I saw it high as fuck in the front row of a packed theater, with Cats musical die-hards next to us and rowdy, irreverent teens behind us. Having the movie playing along with the fraught battle between the teens and die-hard fans unfold around us was the truest 4DX experience of all time.

Rad Rodge
2024-12-12 20:10:57 +0000 UTCI stand by the fact that Cats (per my Letterboxd review) is an avant-Garde piece of dance theatre, a warning against the dangers of factionalism
