Don't fall for their political theatre!

[wolfanitas-art]

I went on a day trip to Hamburg yesterday to watch the Hercules musical, and since I love theatre, musical, cinema, I wondered why I don’t do this as ‘often’ as I used to when I was younger.

The answer: I just can’t afford it anymore. It’s all so damn expensive! From the money I spend on one cinema ticket these days, I could have gone twice ten years ago, and there’s no Kinotag (‘cinema day’; where all tickets are cheaper) anymore. That’s not ‘just inflation’, that’s not just here.

And I will not even start on musicals, those prices are plain obscene, while the shows become smaller.

Why? Who is getting all this money? It’s not the artists. Don’t they understand that they ruin their own business this way? Don’t deserve non-rich people access to culture too?

Why Is the Doctor Crying This Time? -- A brief analysis of Doctor Who Special #5: 'Joy To The World'

I have seen a few people confused about how emotional the Doctor became at the death of the Silurian hotel manager. Here's my take/understanding:

The pain he feels when unable to save someone is a fundamental aspect of the Doctor's character, in my opinion. He has a deep love and appreciation for all things, especially living things. He's seen so many innocent creatures lose their lives, especially due to the greed of others, and said others' complete disregard for lives outside of their own. He may pretend to be okay, or he may compartmentalize and not allow himself to process until later, but it will never not completely devastate him to see that happen, especially when it's happening right in front of him, and there's nothing he can do to help.

Just like Joy's mum died of COVID, completely alone in the hospital, while the Tories who made the social distancing rules were out having wine parties at the same time during lockdown, Villengard let an unknown number of hosts die for the briefcase and had no regard for the world-ending event they knew they'd cause with the detonation of the star, simply because they knew it would give them unlimited power and bring them business.

One could even argue that it's sort of Biblical, especially if you want to make that Jesus & the Star bit at the end connect some more; in the Bible, Jesus died as a sacrifice for the salvation of all, and in Doctor Who, so did Joy. They were both kind, despite often being filled with anger and/or fear. They both died at the hands of rich & powerful people with little care for the lives of others, and they both they rose ("the flesh shall rise") again, and in doing so, they saved all the citizens of Earth.

In shows like Dr. Who, I've found that sometimes the metaphors for fighting against fascism and fighting for your fellow man are seemingly never-ending. In my perspective, this special is no exception, and all the storylines can be joined together to come to the same general conclusion.

The End (at least, for now)

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! ❤️🎄

While I will nearly always accept constructive criticism and discussion, I will not accept cruelty or rudeness.

You can DM your friends about how crazy I am, but you don't have to tell me, I know it already. Thank you ❤️

hadestown hadestown hadestown omg omg omg (i'll mention when there will be spoilers - very much recommend seeing it) went to see this for my bday (my bday was yesterday but whatever) and ive never really been into musical theatre but WOW do i see why people like it now

the set design, costumes, story but most of all the MUSIC GODDAMN was so fucking good, the singing was amazing (madeline charlemange - played eurydice - her voice was so amazing, the vibrato was on point and her growls slayed, they were all amazing tho) a lot of the songs were jazz inspired but one was wild west themed and some of them had really cool extended techniques (especially some funky shit on the violin, it was so cool) and one of the songs had a call and response but the response kept getting longer (ritornello?) i love that one (why we build the wall)

SPOLIERS AHEAD DONT READ ANYMORE IF YOU DONT WANT SPOILERS (go watch it its amazing) ok so hades was the embodiment of capitalism and persephone communism (hear me out) hades was forcing these people to work (mining, building the wall - culminates in that song i mentioned) and later on theres a workers revolution when orpheus convinces them the world doesnt have to be like that, kinda like russia in 1917 and whats gonna happen soon in the uk (i feel like at one point orpheus was adressing the audience when he was talking about this) they talk about building a wall to keep them free (keeping out the poverty) but in reality how does a wall keep you free?? it doesnt, it was hades that brainwashed them to think that and they are still under the shackles of capitalism (or something) until orpheus shows them the light and starts the workers revolution

i could probably ramble about this for hours but i'll spare you, if anyone read this far you slay hope you have / had an amazing day and thank you for reading my rambles, i hope they were coherent

tube post coming soon (tomorrow if i remember)

catch ya later <3

i think the tv streaming model has ruined me because every time i consider rewatching smash i realise it's 20 episode seasons with each episode being 45 minutes long and don't bother

[rileys-basement]

I'm still reeling from and thinking so hard about the “You can do things without me! …You’re so good at it” from Chess to Kate because on one hand I can assume what it means but also what does that mean???!?

could you ceplain npmd/starkid musical a little bit?

ok so admittedly i am not the best person to explain this but. there's a series of musicals all set in the same universe (hatchetfield) and the most recent is nerdy prudes must die which was released on youtube a couple of weeks ago now (??) and it is very very good :)

the other two are the guy who didn't like musicals and black friday and they are both also very good i would recommend 100%
