Zack Snyder Regains Rights to ‘Blood and Ashes,' Script Originally Pitched as a ‘300' Sequel (Exclusive)

"Blood and Ashes, which he partially wrote while shooting Army of the Dead for Netflix in 2019, ended up focusing on the relationship between Alexander the Great and his second in command, Haphaestion [...] "We got the rights back so we can make if we want it," Snyder said during an interview for this week's THR cover story. "I don't know what the marketplace is for an incredibly homoerotic, super violent, super sexual movie. But maybe it's perfect.""

ANOTHER ALEXANDER??? FUCK YEAH

#admin #alexander (2004)#look it up it's good #colin farrell as a screamy angsty alexander #jared leto wearing eyeliner & being his supportive BF #lots of stabby blood war scenes in btwn angst #angelina jolie as alexander's snake-loving helicopter mom #a historically gay couple onscreen I am so excited #take my money #I'd go to the theatre to see it #alexander the great #hephaestion #hellenistic #zack snyder #blood and ashes #movies #I'm actually excited for a movie #queer representation

woke up three hours ago and all I've done is roll around in bed thinking about the Roman Empire

#or. roman emperors. specifically those two #I've had COVID and it didn't give me half as much brain damage as this one film did #God how am I even supposed to go on #I WISH I WAS KIDDING but I'm so incapacitated. What else even matters #booked tickets for th fancypants super high tech theatre to see it again.#now I just wish I'd gotten the tickets for today and not Monday #because how the fuck can I survive until Monday #hello. send help #I CANNOT UNDERSTAND how this even HAPPENED #saw it on Friday then Saturday/Sunday didn't think about it at all #on Monday evening I started having mild symptoms of brain rot #on Tuesday I woke up and it was all over for me #every living second afterwards has just been HOOOO. OHHHH. OOOAAAHHH #gladiator 2 #gladiator

Going to see Wolfman today and I might genuinely be the only person at that screening

#why is this movie so unpopular #I'd usually go on a weekend but it's only being shown at like 9pm on weekends and I'm not doing that so I'm going after work #but genuinely its a pretty big theatre im going to and currently I am the only person that has bought tickets for that screening #my wife leigh whannell made a new movie and no one else wants to see it?

steadfast sailor, paper captain...

#em draws stuff #hornblower #william bush #horatio hornblower #first and foremost! sorry for melting bush's face off in this image #but for a bit more context this is because I had the idea that a hornblower story based in 'the steadfast tin soldier' would be interesting #so here we've got pewter-cast model bush and paper theatre guy hornblower (and things are not going well for them!)#this one was an interesting challenge since I wanted bush to look like the metal was sort of melting out from under his paint #and then hornblower's paper hasn't quite caught alight yet but is starting to char at the very edges of him and where he's touching bush #both of them are much more complex designs than I'd originally been planning for (bush has got ball-and-socket joints and all...)#(the original original plan was that I would learn pewter casting and make him Real. as you can see I did not do that.)#but hey I'm pleased with how they turned out in the end! this took me three sharpe episodes to draw :|#(eleven episodes in and I think it made me weird in the head so I think I will slow down for the time being! too much riflery!)#aaaaaanyway. I don't know if I'll ever write anything about this idea so I'm releasing it into the wild if anyone else likes it #part of this was. an excuse to put some sequins on hornblower yes. fellow should sparkle a little more often!

Ngl sometimes I feel embarrassed checking my Letterboxd because it feels like everyone is always watching way more movies than me.

#I love movies #but also it takes forever until I decide to watch one #and a lot of the times I choose to instead rewatch something I've seen before #not even going to get started with recent films I hardly ever get to see every big movie of the year on time #at most I'd see one lmao #none of this really matter btw I just feel more like aw : ( I need to watch movies more #also going to the movie theatre but 1. I don't have a car/can't drive #2. only time I go to the city is for school or work and most of the time I end up too exhausted to go to a film #which maybe sounds weird but I find watching a new movie very emotionally taxing like I want to give it my 100% I want it to be good #I feel so particular and weird about this like it is just movies it is not that deep but also it is #squack

RSC's Twelfth Night

Round up of reviews and images

Four stars from All that Dazzles

Four stars from Stage Talk

Four stars from What's on Stage

Five stars from Birmingham Live

Five stars from the Real Chris Parkle

Fabulous darling

Lurking, plotting (yes that is a giant organ)

More positive stuff from the British Theatre Guide

And a better look at that beard...

Apparently he uses Feste the jester as a hand puppet

Five stars from Beyond the Curtain

Another contrast to the fool is the drunks. Joplin Sibtain is a cracking Sir Toby Belch, his drunken behaviour is so believable you want to reach out and help him mend his ways and pull him away from the bottle.

This sums up most of the responses - that there's pathos in his portrayal of the cruel drunk, and almost uncomfortable levels of familiarity in the family member with a problem that's gone way too far. ymmv on whether you pity him or despise him, but positive words all round!

#still mad i can't go and see this it sounds like a production i'd really enjoy #'gorey-esque edwardian' seems to be the vibe #joplin sibtain #twelfth night #rsc #royal shakespeare company #william shakespeare #reviews #theatre review #sir toby belch

starting to feel really complicated about the upcoming Finnish production of Moulin Rouge!

#like. on the one hand I'm of course looking forward to it #but on the other hand. well. it's just that this is hardly my first rodeo.#I've seen some of my all-time favourite productions being redone by other theatres before and they're never as good #(with the possible exception of the Karlstad/Jönköping Les Mis I guess)#(but that was all about Alex being my fav + Philip Jalmelid delivering the most out of this world rendition of Stars I'll ever hear)#and then I'm just very prejudiced against the theatre that's staging the Finnish MR!#with one notable exception every musical I've seen on their big stage has felt... just a little bit soulless to me I guess #maybe it's just because that stage is so big and it always feels like theatre set up in an airplane hangar #or maybe it's because the type of audience they attract almost always gives off a certain slightly detached vibe #or maybe it's something about the way they work itself #or maybe it's all three!#but I'm a little worried that though it's by the same director the Finnish MR! experience simply won't compare favorably to the Swedish one #and then there's the weird feeling you get when it comes to these things... or at least *I* get when it comes to these things #if I'm right in my premonitions and I'll walk out thinking it doesn't hold a candle to the Swedish production that is #inevitably Finnish people are going to love the Finnish MR! and praise it because it's a good production no matter what #so then I'll be stuck in that weird mood #where I'll feel like everyone around me is watching the shadow and I'm the only person who's been outside the cave to see the Real Musical #and I know it's stuck up and silly to feel that way! and yet #oh man. just please let me see the u/s Zidler and I'll be too happy to even compare the rest of it to Stockholm #anyway!! I guess this is something I'll need to work through myself as a musical fan before I go see it #also maybe some fanart of the Swedish production? I've honestly been too exhausted the entire spring and summer to even think about that #but I'd like to draw something #maybe one day?#Moulin Rouge! posting

#i feel like. um. tours go where the audience is #and uh. perhaps. just a theory. two english speaking youtubers are going to have a larger audience #in western counties and especially english speaking countries #they even only have two shows in the very south of canada #wait dam ni did not know canada's population is TEN times less than the USA. that explains a lot #anyways i was just getting to the point that they definitely have dedicated fans all over the world who would love to see them #and they know that #but they have to consider whether they're going to have 50 people in a theatre or 500 #and if they're going to be forcing those 50 people to travel great distances or 500 ppl who live right next door y'know #to be quite frank despite the rennassiance i'd say they're still less popular than at the II era #damn WAD had SIX canada shows something's up with that.... maybe it's just bigger venues #seems like WAD has a lot more shows in a lot of places but i did compare the venues in my area and the TIT one is 2.5x bigger #anyways yeah my own example. i'm not sure if i'll go. even tho i'm watchign them again i'm not a Fan like i was back in 2020 #damn THREE shows in florida that's insane. why #but yeah even looking at the USA map there's nothing in the northern midwest #i'm sure there are at least 10 phannise in montana who are scrimping and scraping to travel to washington right now #but the fact of the matter is the northern midwest is the most sparsly populated area of the USA #so it just won't pay off to travel there - even tho the % phannie is probably the same as the rest of the USA #the population is low enough multiply by that % = too few people!#and on the europe map we can see they're only going to northern europe #they're not even going to france or spain #now i'm not an expert in europe but i am under the impression that northern europeans speak more english #so more of them will be fans of english-lanuage dnp #and tbh i think the reason they haven't said anything is um. that they expected people to know this.#dnp #also um. ppl talking about this in context of latin america and asia um there's another big continent missing: africa.#but nobody seems concerned about that one because nobody expects there to be dnp fans there #so like people must understand this to some degree #also if dan lost money on WAD it makes sense they'd be more conservative booking venues #it's entirely reasonable to be heartbroken ofc just saying this bc i saw ppl say The Only Possible Reason is racism

I'm not a "new musical theatre style music" person. Never have been.

Even when I was doing voice lessons, I'd steer towards the golden age or jazzy musical theatre songs. My voice teacher would have to drag me kicking and screaming towards adding anything new musical theatre to my repertoire. For a while, the most modern song in my book was I Know The Truth from Aida, and I wouldn't count that as new musical theatre style since I mean more the Pasek&Paul or Joe Iconis type.

And now I have an audition coming up for a small production of a show in that style and I'm supposed to sing a song in a similar style. And I'm looking at all my sheet music like... let me do some Cole Porter... or Gershwin... at least Sondheim please...

#look i do have SOME newer musicals in my book. but like i said. kicking and screaming.#i'm probably gonna end up doing 'I Think That He Likes Me' which is not IN a musical it's just new musical theatre style #as part of a songbook for some writing duo that i can't remember the name of and it's 2:45am so i can't care enough to look it up.#and it's the only one in my sheet music folder that i'm like 'ok. this is TRULY the right style' and i know it's good in my voice #and it's a cute song and i do like it and it definitely fits the overall vibe of the show #and though i haven't sung it in like 4 years i still remember 90% of the words and have time to study it before the audition #but while trying to find that song deep deep in my folder i pass by other songs i just love so much more #and i'm like ahhhhhhhh why #and i'm not even like 'god i hope i get it' (see A Chorus Line. that's more my type) i truly don't care if i'm cast or not #and yes i can technically audition with any song i could ever want it's just suggested to do the same style #but i know the entire creative panel who i'll be auditioning for and the last 2 times i auditioned for them i sang the same song #only because it's a GOOD song that fit both shows i was auditioning for (Can't Stop Talking About Him by Frank Loesser)#(perfect audition song since it's short at like 28 bars and you can pick the tempo and do a lot of character stuff)#(but see this is what i mean. like 1/3 of my entire sheet music folder is golden age musicals. then half is 60s-90s.)#(and then the last chunk are the few new-ish musical theatre and some pop music.)#(if i took performing more seriously i'd have a wider range but this is truly just for fun and just for me. so i do what i like.)#i don't want to go in for a 3rd audition with the same creative team and doing the same song. especially since it doesn't fit this time.#so once again. dragged kicking and screaming. over to new musical theatre territory. unwillingly.#if i get cast we'll have to see if the show itself even grows on me since honestly i think there's maybe 2 songs i like in it.#it's definitely not the worst new musical theatre style show but it's also not one that drew me in.#ok wait while looking through lists of 'new musical theatre' shows to find one i actually like (i think just Legally Blonde sorry guys)#(every other new musical in the last 20 years that i like did something interesting with the music like Come From Away)#i ended up finding out that apparently 13 was adapted into a netflix movie? when did that even happen?#i mean i don't care for that show either but i thought i was at least up to date on movie adaptations.

I feel like an absolute wreck today and look a fright, but I just found out this evening they are putting Bound (1994) in the cinema for just one day only for Pride and it would be phobic of me not to go, no matter how dreadful I am.

If I must drag myself by hook and crook and pain meds to see Gina Gershon being fine as fuck and both see and hear Jennifer Tilly being devastating to my everything, I will.

#about me #it's a combo of first day of actual period after a week already of period pains with no blood (it's good that I'm bleeding now #because it means less build-up next month) and back pain and my broken arm (that is on the way to mending thank fuck) deciding today #is the day it needs to be aching as fuck all coming together to make me feel nauseous plus the wind down from yesterday night's #you-forgot-to-drink-you-idiot blinding dehydration headache #but I will go there and I will dress up for it and I will put my brand new fake stockings socks on and I will put make-up on because this #deserves it #I never thought I'd be able to see this movie in a theatre and I WILL go see it #if anyone of my mutuals is in London and wants to come gimme a shout in the DMs and I'll tell you where

choosing to believe the so called leak saying chainsaw man movie and s2 is coming 2024 simply for the sake of my own health

#I need. more chainsaw man #need more aki #it will be hard enough waiting until next year #I need to see him again #in all seriousness though... I'm willing to wait however long it takes #as long as the anime is good #this is silly but #on one hand I think a chainsaw man movie would be amazing #on the other hand I... I'd have to wait to have hq screenshot of aki...#me going into the theatre every day for a week to take pictures every time aki comes on screen #in the meantime. continue rewatching season one
