Movies, and TV Shows, and Books! Oh my!

Among the many amazing aspects of the Hadestown pro-shot, one of my favorites is the way Patrick Pages injury provides an excellent example of how disability does not have to be barrier to musical theatre. The way his injury was presented, especially in Hades and Persephone's dance, shows how with enough care, choreography and blocking can be modified for a disability and still present a beautiful story. In fact, the pro-shot shows how disability can not only be accommodated, but also utilized for characterization and storytelling.

The thing about Hadestown is the line “To know how it ends. And still begin to sing it again. As if it might turn out this time” is an incredible way to describe most of life. We try because we have to believe that even when the ending is set in stone, it’s still worth trying. It’s still better to be a person who tried.

Maybe quantum physics is different in a universe where a mob boss built a working supercollider that could create portals to other worlds in 2018

There is a part of me that wants someone to tell the avengers that Loki took over Asgard in a couple of hours and what he did as a king, because I wanna see their faces.

Whenever I see someone refer to "Victorian era-" for places outside the UK I'm tempted to start saying shit like "Han Dynasty era Rome", "Soviet era Australia" etc

“Welcome to Soviet America, home of the McDonalds and Cocaine Cola. Long live Comrade Reagan.”

The Civil War, or as I like to call it, Late Tokugawa Period America

I know this is a joke but this helps me put a lot of historical periods into perspective.

"cowboys were a sort of itinerant warrior class common in meiji-era texas"

Okay but you know that Britain controlled like a quarter of the world at that point, right? Like it's entirely reasonable to talk about "Victorian-era Canada" or "Victorian-era India"

If Vader had the capability he would be shedding proud dad tears. He passed down so many good things to her without being in her life. He is so fucking proud. She strangled Jabba the Hutt!

Yeah I saw the lovecraftian horrors and didn’t succumb to madness. What- no I’m not a cultist, James. For Christ’s sake. What you’re forgetting my friend is that HP Lovecraft wasn’t a flexible man. His brain simply wasn’t stretchy enough to take it all in. I however, have short term memory issues. Flexibility is the name of the game when you can’t remember if you ate lunch or not. What’s the size of the universe? Big. You knew that already, James. Come on now. You don’t need to witness the terrifying ocean at the base of the entirety of reality itself to know that. Pass the brandy.

You must imagine the character I’ve created here wearing a suit and a monocle, by the way.

this is so pure
