If you're mad abt Cynthia Erivo being cast as Jesus I simply don't want to talk to you. This is incredible, I want to hear her Gethsemane SO FUCKING BAD like holy s h i t.

The most important thing to me is if Judas is also a woman. Because if this is not the case, the casting directors are cowards and fundamentally don't understand the text.

WHERE?

This link, every night.

WHAT TIME?

11:30 PM (or 19:30, if you're on a 24-hour clock) UTC, every night. (To find out what that is in your time zone, go here.)

GROUND RULES

Feel free to invite friends -- the more, the merrier! Just make sure they see this post first so they know what is expected of them.

Some showings will have unique material beforehand, hence the slightly early start. (For example, tonight, '73 will be preceded by newsreel footage from on set, the trailer, and coverage of the UK premiere, to sort of prime the pump and get you in the mindset of somebody seeing the movie for the first time.)

None of these will be piecemeal or in chapters. Whole feature, start to finish, soup to nuts (as they used to say in the olden days). Plan bathroom and snack breaks accordingly. (Also, if you get there late, you see what you see when you see it. We're not rewinding just for you.)

No mics or cameras enabled. The focus will be the film of choice for the evening. If you want to chat or share thoughts, click the little speech bubble icon in the lower right hand corner to open text chat.

I recommend using a computer, whether desktop or laptop, so that no errant taps disrupt the viewing experience for others, which -- in my thick-fingered experience on my smart phone -- is all too easy on a mobile device.

Tonight, "the rocks and stones themselves will start to sing," so get out your palm branches and start wavin'!

JCSS production where during This Jesus Must Die, Caiphas inexplicably pulls out glasses like these and puts them on when he sings "One thing I'll say for him, Jesus is cool"

I totally agree with this interpretation 10/10

I have sinned by betraying innocent blood. (Matthew 27:4)

I have been spattered with innocent blood! (Jesus Christ Superstar, Tim Rice & Andrew Lloyd Webber)

God has made me unable to direct a production of Jesus Christ Superstar for a good reason (I would’ve made Jesus do a ballet number during the Crucifixion)

*reads the Bible* “Wow I can’t believe they made a book adaptation of acclaimed Broadway musical Jesus Christ Superstar”

[humbugous]

imagine you have an influencer bestie who works for his dad and ur a huge fan of his dad's work and have supported him forever but now he has like 1k followers and has let the fame get to his head a little. you are also in love with him. at the beggining it seemed like he liked you back but now he's been hanging out with this girl who's been cancelled and spending a lot of time with her, so you're like nooo it will harm your reputation! and he says idgaf. so you're angry because why does he have so many followers and lives off his daddy's name with no consequences??? suddenly an enemy group of influencers offer you money to reveal his passwords so they can hack into his account and delete it, this way they can be the most popular influencers. you think about it and decide it's for the greater good, perhaps this way your friend can finally be free from influencer fame and go back to his roots. he finds out about it and confronts you but it's weird because it sounds like he wants you to do it... perhaps it means he wants to be free as well? does he have the same feelings? you really miss him so you go ahead with it. also you kiss him (changing the trajectory of your lives forever). after that you give him space for a bit. turns out the enemy group of influencers aren't going to just delete his account, they're going to blackmail ur bestie and post humilliating shit on his profile, and this time his daddy isn't helping him out. so you come back and your friend is absolutely depressed, looks like shit, his posts are full of hate comments, everyone wants him to die. the guilt overtakes you so you go to a really high building and start screaming about how you love him and now you're angry at his dad because if he hadn't given his son the job then none of this would've happened. then you kill yourself. well, this happened to my buddy judas.
