  1. Made all the more poignant by Muppets From Space. 😭😭😭😭😭 Don’t forget this this bit from Kermit after that song: Dammit Jim, why didn’t you see a doctor sooner??😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
  2. It was good to hear some actual good news, even if it was small. Still… I was listening to “Gethsemane” from Jesus Christ Superstar and “Then I was inspired/Now I’m sad and tired” hit so damn hard because that’s how I truly feel. I’m so angry and disgusted at all the people that turned their noses up at Biden and Harris, ignored our constant pleas and warnings, and threw us back into this cesspool. I can’t get inspired by all the boycotts and protests, it just seems so performative to me now. It’s almost like the terminally online lefter-than-thous wanted it to happen just to fulfill their underdog fantasies, then act offended when I don’t have any energy left to muster up any scrap of pity when the leopards eat their faces. Look, I don’t want to give up hope and wallow in bitterness, but there really does feel like something is broken inside of me in a way that wasn’t back after 2016. Maybe it was because I thought people learned their lesson, only to be let down again. And I don’t think I’m ever going to be over that, no matter what happens.
  3. They really brought back Maria just to fridge her for more Olivia drama. Fuck this show.
  4. Kilmar’s alive Bless Senator Van Hollen.
  5. It’s very messy, but it’s still pretty good. Liked the movie more than the book, and the dog was definitely the best part.
  6. Michelle Trachtenberg's official cause of death was diabetes complications I wish everyone that felt obligated to speculate on her appearance in the last year of her life a very pleasant "Go fuck yourself."
  7. Reminds me of this meme going around with a cartoon "angry feminist" purposely drawn as unattractive as possibly, complaining about how men are impossible to please, which followed by a prettier cartoon woman serving beer and a sandwich to a guy that promptly says he would die for her. Excuse me while I ralph. And I also would like to point out how insulting it is to insinuate that the only women not interested in dating or don't want to be little tradewives are ones that aren't attractive enough.
  8. Muppets From Space is so underrated. Gonzo getting a backstory was great, and I freaking love Pepe. And since nobody's mentioned them yet, I love the Disney new ones too. The Muppets was a great reintro back to the movies. There are some actors and actresses you can tell are just thrilled to be in a Muppet movie, and Jason Segel could barely contain his glee. Yes, Walter was unnecessary, but I fucking love "Life is A Happy Song." And that performance of "The Rainbow Connection"? Makes smile every time.
  9. This, and for the upteenth time, Ms. Morin’s killer was arrested and found guilty and no one framed it as some kind of injustice. So as much as I feel sorry for her mother, for her to get up on that podium and act like all migrants/immigrants deserve to be deported and act like speaking up for Mr. Garcia—an innocent man who had NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with her daughter’s murder—is somehow spitting on her daughter’s grave shows her ass as a racist. I’m so sick of the Victim Olympics going on. It’s the same story with the sntivaxxers that claim the COVID vaccine killed their family members: they act like they’re entitled to all the sympathy in the world while not giving a fuck about people that died from COVID or other diseases because of idiots like them.
  10. I wish we could just skip to the ending.
  11. Charles Gordon was a hoot as the bad guy unironically in love with Miss Piggy. I remember that one chapter in his memoir about their short-lived love affair. 😂
  12. Oh no, don't let me influence your opinion! I'm just asking if other productions of "Cell Block Tango" at least had more to it than just them standing there/sitting in their chairs.
  13. She’s got nothing to prove to anybody at this point. Will miss her though.
  14. To everyone that grew up in the 90s and finally managed to get this theme song out of their head…forgive me.
  15. Screw him. Anyone that tries to excuse this on his drug addiction or autism can STFU.
  16. Point is, I’ve now seen pretty much all the big staples still on Broadway. Back to Chicago, for anyone that’s seen it. Was I the only one that felt let down by “Cell Block Tango”? I knew they wouldn’t go all out like the movie, but I was at least expecting more dancing than I got. It’s supposed to be a TANGO for FFS.
  17. I love all of them, but I’ve got a soft spot for Muppet Treasure Island because that was the first one I saw in theaters when I was a kid. And of course Muppet Christmas Carol, the best version of Christmas Carol ever—yeah, I said it!
  18. I’m not just saying this because of Lent, but I really liked this episode! It was so refreshing for Marge to openly acknowledge her vindictive side, and finally owning up to the fact that it is hypocritical to act nice while suppressing your real feelings about people. Loved Tim Meadows’ cameo too.
  19. Seeing the show Chicago today hit harder than it would have a year ago. “In 50 years or so, it’s gonna change, you know…” You mean the media sensationalizing criminals for profit or people creating their own fandom cults for any good-looking murderer with a sob story? HA!
  20. I saw the touring production of Chicago for the first time ever. I was aware that it’s very minimalist compared to the movie, but the difference was still a little jarriing. Anyway, it was good—even if the plot of criminal using sensationalist media to literally get away with murder hits a little harder this year. The dancing was more impressive in Act 2 than Act 1 IMHO; I was stunned that there wasn’t more choreography for “Cell Block Tango.” And if they can pull out the feathered fans for “All I Care About Is Love” then why not for “When You’re Good to Mama”?! All she did was just stand there singing! So with that, I’ve finally completed the block of Broadway’s longest running shows from the 80s and 90s: Cats, Les Miserables, Phantom, Chicago, and Miss Saigon. Do Lion King and Beauty and the Beast count too?
  21. We did, but others are still a little slow to wake up and see the Matrix.
  22. With Bill Maher fawning over Trump at his White House visit, is it finally time for the rest of the world to realize that Maher is a poseur and more conservative than he’s pretended to be all these years?
  23. Between She’s A Lamb! by Meredith Hambrook and Saltwater by Kathy Hays, I think I really have to stop with these psycho-narrator/soap opera twist books. The one in Saltwater was especially egregious; a story should be limited to one death fake-out, not five.
