just saw asteroid city last night, pls explain the proposed significance of the kiss!!

answering this publicly hope thats ok! cant do a readmore im on mobile *****asteroid city spoilers below beware*****

i dont remember anyones names so this is gonna sound partly unhinged. okay so the edward norton playwright and jason schwartzman actor (not character, in the black and white parts) are lovers right. tbh i thought this was kind of a gag and forgot about it. but later we find out that the playwright died 6 months into the production. i didnt make the connection that THAT’s why the actor-jason has to suddenly leave the stage and freaks out backstage about how he’s not sure he’s Doing it right. hes not talking about acting!! because he himself is literally grieving his lover while he’s playing a character who’s grieving his wife written by his lover so obviously it’s too much!!! actor-jason is trying to find meaning in his death through his writing but there isnt any meaning in death [gerris drinkwater voice] which is what the play is trying to say anyway. he doesnt think he’s performing grief right even in his own life!!! (and tbh it’s the 50s so he wouldnt be able to perform grief publicly anyway!!!!) the play starts with a car accident… anyone would search for some hidden meaning there, some sign…. so when he talks to margot robbie outside it’s not really about finding the CHARACTER’s motivations it’s about the actor himself being able to process the playwright’s death! and adrien brody director was probably also dealing with that too (him and norton seemed to be good buddies) so the whole “sleeping backstage” thing gets a bit sadder maybe? maybe everyone else got this in the theatre and im just stupid lol but crazy making stuff to me!!! the whole story is about sublimated gay grief that cannot be expressed?!?!

the tweet that caught me onto this was here which posits that the playwright’s death was a suicide but i think that’s pretty stupid and unnecessary because the whole thing about the play asteroid city is that death is random and meaningless. im pretty sure that’s what the alien represents— a shocking and absurd event that isnt outright evil or menacing, not something anyone can predict or make sense of, it’s just a thing that happens to you out of nowhere, it doesnt mean anything. he’s a little black figure, he’s death! giving and taking! aagh

Honestly, Roxy having a special interest in horses and then finding actual animatronic horses in storage is so wholesome to imagine. She's in awe. They wake up and they're just excited to see her as she is to see them. She's living the absolute dream and she deserves it

Spent a lot of time last night rehearsing this and now it's stuck in my head. Which is fine, really. It's absolute filth and I love it.

(Here's the next bit, to prevent cockblocking caused by the nature of album tracks)

i am sound designing my 4th show with this local community theatre & it is by far the best show for sound i have done in many many years. it is called Album & heavily centers around music, so we’ve got teens playing records (I added in a needle drop when they put on records and got compliments from all of the crew!) & turning music up & down, and we’ve got a school dance where all the music is low-pass filtered and coming only from stage left. i was a little reluctant to even do another show w them but this one has been a blast.

anyway i agreed to run sound for all the performances which i have never done before. wish me luck (we usually have 1 person do lights & sound but this one has too much going on)
