I’ll go to a movie during the slow time of day when there are only 10 or so people in the theater, but I won’t go back to a live performance until they get a better handle on Covid.

You've gotta get with Lin Manuel Miranda and write this motherfucking musical. 

Sadly the original musical version of Richard III is lost to history. 46 songs, all of them about what a fucking asshole Richard is.

Bitt’rsweet mem’ries / Yond is all I am taking with me

Concerts, shows, even movies these days are a “no thanks” for me. People post-Pandemic are getting awful. If this is the ‘new normal’, no thanks. I’m there for the show, not the side-show.

Historically speaking, the concept of the theater audience being silent non-participants in the play is relatively new. Who among us has not read the rousing accounts of barely literate Englishmen singing along to "" I Shalt Always Love Thou" during performances at the Globe Theater? 

“Two women were forcibly pulled out of the theater by security”

OK, but apart from Black Widow, Hawkeye, Tony Stark, War Machine, New Black Widow, New Hawkeye, and Nick Fury, what have the Romans ever done for us?

Badges!? We don’t need no stinking badges!

“Alexa, set reminder.”

Tell you what, Twitterers - just send me 500 bucks and I’ll mail you a blue Sharpie! You can checkmark your whole life - cheap!

It’s good that a random avclub commenter is here to set these clueless guys straight about their health insurance. 

What a weird and ignorant comment to make.

Jesus fucking Christ the assholes on here with such sad lives that they have to dream things up to get angry about.

There does seem to be a real effort on some people’s part to shame anyone who doesn’t denounce this film. As a fan of Two Minutes to Late Night I listen to a few of their podcasts, including Generation Loss. They did a retrospective review of these early 2000s films (they called it “The Twee Thousands”) and the acid

Director makes films 20 years ago that resonated with some people.

I was 17 when Garden State came out and largely thought the movie was a wank at the time.
