I knew some of the music before seeing it, and didn't care for it. I saw the 2006 Broadway revival on DVD (the one where the actors play instruments) and suddenly "GOT" it. Now it's one of my favourites. Every number is perfect and every character is amazing. Well, I still don't really care for "Another Hundred…

It's a masterpiece. "Now" is a stunner and should be as well-known as, say, "Getting Married Today". And I can listen to the Night Waltz a hundred times and never tire of it.

Follies is, like, the one Sondheim I don't know! I even know Merrily We Roll Along (a company I'm involved with did it this year, even), which is a title that makes most musical theatre people go, "eh?"

The Prom is one of the very few bits of media that can make me tear up. People being gracious, en masse…

It's criminal how few of Sondheims songs have really broken out and become the standards they deserve to be. Assassins. Practically every song in Company. "Every Day a Little Death" from A Little Night Music. The list is long.

I'm pleased to see the words "The Wild Party" on this list, but bummed that it's referring to the Andrew Lippa show, and not the immensely superior Michael John LaChiusa show. (Both came out the same year, based on the same epic poem.) MJL's is evocative and exciting and scary and full of old 1920s vaudeville flavour,…

Oh it's definitely my favourite show of all time - both because the show on its own merits is great and important, and because it started an angry 16 year old me down the path towards empathy and feminism. I very literally would be a different person if Buffy (show and character) hadn't been the first thing to really…

We should write a screenplay!

Your comment is old, but I'm replying to agree anyway. Nolan is one of the worst action directors currently in the blockbuster business. His action sequences are not just jumbled, but utterly incoherent, and he has no regard for audiences beyond "keep them confused as long as possible so they think the payoff is worth…

You think Returns had a more blatant SuperJesus than Man of Steel? In Returns, he falls back to Earth unconscious after pushing a Kryptonite island into space, taking an arms-out crucifix pose as he plummets. In Man of Steel, a Kal El, who has been raised in Kansas, at explicitly 33 years old, for his big "be a hero"…

Yeah, several mountains in the vicinity. But it's not as magical as looking outside your window and seeing snow fall. (Also the skiing is only okay, according to people who have skiied in Japan, NZ, Canada, etc. I have only ever skiied here so I don't know good skiing apparently.)

Those in the League pronounce it "Raysh", which I think is the accepted canonical DC pronunciation (not sure about that though). Oliver and company, not speaking the weird Middle Easternish dialect, pronounce it how it's spelled — "Rahz".

I am envious of cities that get Real Cold, though. Snow is not a thing here. It hasn't snowed in Melbourne or Sydney in decades and decades. I'm sure I'd like snow a lot less if it did, though.

But a little does go a long way. Like all the best secondary characters, over exposure does happen. Especially to villains. Even in it's short season, Kilgrave in JJ got less scary the more he appeared.

In fairness, I had to check if "Ghul" had an "o" in it.

I bet that's how he says it when he orders at Starbucks, too.

Every Earth has a Godfather.

He was so mad to be questioned. I watched it five or six times and laughed uncontrollably each time.

"How did you get that?"
"I'M RA'S AL GHUL."

Ah, you've been.
