The Urinetown Christmas song unfortunately remains an absolute bop.

Today it's not just one musical Christmas song, but an entire album and a bonus!

The album is If The Fates Allow: A Hadestown Holiday Album. You already know if you love it or not.

And as a special bonus, here is "Midwintersong" from Carols for a Cure volume 22. Slime tutorials are well and good, but if you can swing it there are worse things to spend money on this holiday season than supporting Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS via the power of your favorite casts singing holiday songs. Makes a great gift for that one person in your life who unironically wears a santa hat to December rehearsals.

In order to prevent horizontal ableism this holiday season, just a reminder than Tiny Tim was disabled by a life-threatening ailment.

He wasn't born disabled, and his mobility issues were not the focal point of his story's concern.

When we talk about disability representation in film and literature, Tiny Tim represents those disabled communities where medical intervention is necessary not only to survive, but thrive.

His modern counterparts are people with Long Covid, with ALS, and cancer survivors. The complete opposite side of the spectrum from those of us who were born disabled.

Would anyone be mad if I made home back to you Steve hate Abba. I just can very clearly see someone teasing him saying "well you like disco so?" And he's like YEAH BUT NOT ABBA.

Tbf maybe i just think carol making fun of Steve's music taste is part of their love language

A little. But Nagisa did too.

I'm telling at my phone for Nagisa to stop her but I'm sure she'll let the mistake stew for a while.

Doesn't feel good at all, to say these these this things in a fit of anger or really, ever, does it?

One feels worse after lashing out than how one felt for when the other did wrong thing, unintentionally.

This is way too cheerful for what just happened. Really, shows should have an alternative for when they're getting serious and heartbreaking and the break sequence (or the ending song) is too happy or ridiculous.

Like, yeesh, whiplash!

In school now, stewing in guilt, disappointment and sadness.

The way Nagisa shakes her off. Mirroring when they hold hands to use their powers?

She didn't mean it, hang in there!

When it feels that the weather is mocking you.

so based on the movie I just watched + multiple other alan alda movies:

the theory I have is that after MASH basically nobody was writing the right kind of roles for him (including, unfortunately, himself)/casting him in the right kinds of roles. no idea to what extent this was due to his "what a nice guy" persona (which, you know, he disliked -- funny how I got into ralph macchio and then alan alda, who both suffered from being basically just not assholes in the industry), but also his own movies play into that as well!

His least interesting movies are when he's playing the straight man in a completely ordinary life in which there may be others making out-there decisions that he reacts to (but not always, sometimes it's just a host of straight-men)*.

*when I say straight man I mean in the comedic sense, not the queer sense, although he should have played more queers, he did it well

he's far better suited to the oddities, the bad guys, the larger-than-life, the flamboyant, the not-fitting-in, or on the flipside the grand, slimy upholder/benefitor of establishment -- he's interesting as a character-actor in Big things, you can't take your eyes off him! the best I can say of him in all of these other types of movies is that, yeah, he does an alright job, and he's... nice, idk. nice guy that boring guy in that movie.

(the closest we get in his own movies is sweet liberty, but also... the character in that movie is just alan alda 😂 I do want to watch the one he did with carol burnett in 1974 though, I think they bring out the best in each other -- I think if someone had given him a strict structure around which to write, like MASH was, he might have been able to push it more. This is the guy who wrote and directed "Dreams"!!!)

I don't know when he internalised the idea that he worked best just hanging about in these slice-of-life-with-nothing-happening comedy movies, but gosh do I keep wanting to go back in time and put him in something ridiculous like an over-the-top horror or voicing a silly character in an animated musical or some big drama film with Big emotions (and going by the ones I've seen, historical dramas suit him too).

why did they keep making him perform small emotions??? the guy grew up around burlesque performers, for goodness sake!
