I really want to get this. But if the combat isn’t deep, and it’s simply go here, do this, I might hold off for a price drop.

I’m surrounded by good delivery/takeout options, so food hasn’t been lacking. I miss the feeling of a fresh, cold draft beer though. 

They have delivery services that will ship you mini untapped kegs. Might be worth a go. 

Salaried for 35. But it rarely comes out to be that few. Work has definitely increased with everyone in quarantine. The meetings. Dear god, the meetings.

Oh my fuck, Aelswith is a babe!

It’s absolutely bonkers how much makeup gets applied to her to make her look as plain as she does on the show. 

Seeing the choreography for Satisfied is just jaw-dropping. They way they use the circular stage and completely redo Helpless from Angelica’s perspective. 
 

Also the king staying on stage for the second half of the show and dancing in The Reynolds Pamphlet. So good. 
 

I also like the alternate interpretation of Eliza’s gasp at the end breaking the 4th wall. That it wasn’t Hamilton taking Eliza’s hand, but instead LMM’s hand showing Eliza that her husband’s legacy has lived on showing her the audience watching a musical about her husband.

Is there any original CBS All Access show that isn't Star Trek related?

Twilight Zone.

Just finished my viewing and I very much enjoyed. I thought the staging was great, Atmos track was amazing, but I did some have issues with the sync. Some scenes were synced up with the video and the next camera cut was off by a half sec. I wonder if it’s because they filmed this over 2 nights (if I’m not mistaken) and might be why the issue shows up on my viewing. I almost cried near the end but I held it in like man I am (but it was awfully close) Now we need to get some more musicals streaming on whatever video format. 

I’d kill for Wicked and Dear Evan Hansen. 
 

I actually have the TV movie version of Joseph if anyone wants it. It’s got Donny and is probably the best version you can get. 

Just finished. Started over earlier today with my daughter. It still gets me to “Claire Danes” cry. 

Audio is more than fine for me. The Atmos mix is fantastic. 

The music over the Disney fireworks.

Four hours till this drops!

I thought it wasn’t until 7pm ET tomorrow?

EDIT: That’s for the watch partly. Movie launches at 3AM ET/12AM PT.

HD audio!

@sblfilms Is there a way drive-ins could enhance the audio experience?

Musicals I’ve seen live:

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (x3, twice with Donny Osmond)

Jesus Christ Superstar with Corey Glover (Living Color) as Judas

Wicked (x2, once with Teal Wicks who, in my opinion, blows the doors off of Idina Menzel in the role)

Hamilton (x2)

I really do need to see more live.

What song are you referring to in Rent?

 

Rent is the best musical of the ones I’ve seen live, which isn’t a whole lot compared to some people. Perhaps there are better ones out there, but I can only judge on what I’ve seen.
 

I also recognize it’s not perfect, but it does speak to me on a personal level that other musicals haven’t quite done (except maybe Hamilton. I really relate to the young, brash Alexander in act 1).

Seasons of Love. I actually have not seen Rent live. And LMM describes Rent better than I ever could—give a watch to his Apple TV “Dear...” segment. It’s really good.

Sound issues I'm not as sure about, but I can't remember the last time I was in a theater and had a projector that was out of focus or misaligned or whatever. Whereas I feel like that used to be such a crapshoot up until around 10-15 years ago. Maybe the switch to digital made that harder to fuck up?

Yeah, sound would most likely go through AM/FM, so it would depend on the strength of the signal and quality of sound system in your vehicle. Of course... it would still only be in stereo.

The best musical in existence is Wicked. Change my mind.

I knew I loved you for more than your enormous penis. 

Actually, it’s Hamilton. By a lot. Distantly followed by Joseph.

And while I understand what Rent did for musicals and their relatability, it’s always really pissed me off that the best and most memorable song in the musical isn’t actually IN the musical.

Also, Dear Evan Hansen might be the first musical I’ve heard where the second act songs are stronger than the first act.

The movie ages really well. It’s also rather depressing as it stars both Bill Paxton and Phillip Seymour Hoffman.

I just really hope, if Helen Hunt is back, the movie explains how it was a tornado that fucked up her face. 

iPad Pro & Magic Keyboard. His birthday is next month and I got him the Apollo 11 Lunar Lander LEGO set. 

And not even good big battles. Not a single one along the lines of near the end of CE when you walk out of that canyon and it’s nothing but Flood fighting Covenant. What a glorious moment in gaming. 

The level design in 5 was just... sooo bad. 

In this thread, some people grew up after VHS, apparently. You want censorship? Try watching your favorite movie with 33% of the image just cut off, and some idiot who wasn’t the cinematographer, or any cinematographer for that matter, making camera movement decisions. 
 

THAT’S offensive censorship. Having the CREATOR CHOOSE to remove two words is more than acceptable. 
 

And if you really want to get into a censorship debate, I’m more than happy to get into it about theatrical releases vs director’s cuts. 
 

Now, could they have done a better job with choosing what to cut? Absolutely. You lose nothing by changing Fuuuuuuuuu to Whaaaaaaaa. So you get that “fuck” back. Keep “I get the fuck back up again”, and then have it be something like “southern mother truckin’ Democratic Republicans”. 
 

But again. Cutting something like the scene that is the motivation for the entire second act would be a crime. THAT would be censorship. But it’s there. And everyone who has only listened to the official soundtrack up until now will be in for a real treat. 

I hope the stream gets COVID-19. 

What does “Stream begins” mean??? Are episodes going live this weekend? Or is this merely a “hype” session?
