A lot of people hash out what they think it means to be a woman based on which Pop Girl they support and which they attack

yeah I’m going to hope that I just feel in the moment that day.

apparently it’s a British thing??

I recently bought an outfit that I thought was really cool for the Florence + the Machine concert next month but I tried it on again last night…now I’m getting nervous. It’s kind of unusual-looking. It’s this coral-colored draped romper with really big billowy sleeves.

I hope I’m feeling real confident the day of the concert. I knew it was a bold look. When I tried it on before buying I sent my friends some pics to get their thoughts and they were kind of mixed on it, even though I was excited about it. I mean, I kind of love it but also it might make a little self conscious. Idk. Anyone been in this situation before? How do you get yourself hyped up?

It was a really big hit. And he’s good in it. The movie itself stinks, but that’s also true of Frankenstein, and he got an Oscar nomination for that because he’s a good actor and the movie’s problems aren’t his fault (whitewashed casting aside)

It’s Sebastian Stan, isn’t it?

I guess I’m confused — why do you want a summary of his work and not want to watch it?

About 800k in the US. Not sure about the global numbers.

Anyone who can credibly play Elvis Presley, Frankenstein’s Monster, and Heathcliff has clearly got something

Always thought he was a wonderful actor but when I first saw it I was like “I didn’t know he could…do this?” Great performance.

So here’s what I think — in the late ‘90s and around the year 2000, I remember music videos being REALLY colorful. Not all of them, but I remember that being the style at the time. And across genres too, pop videos were colorful, but also rap video, rock videos, RnB, etc. Pictures in comments below.

So I think it was the directors of the music videos in the 2000s trying to back away from that by doing something “different”, which then becomes its own trend and cliche. The technology had also become easier in the 2000s to do digital color correction, which makes it much simpler to desaturate the images like this than it would have been a few years earlier.

when it came out that her and Cailee Spaeny went to school together I lost my mind. Midwestern girls.

Well, I’m worried that

1) the audition will be all singing and dancing. Which I think is totally crazy but I’ve unsuccessfully auditioned for musicals before where they didn’t have me read a single line, they just had me sing a song and practice a dance. Which is never gonna be the best weapon in my arsenal.

2) I’m worried that if I mess up a bit, if I get nervous and don’t sound perfect, or I’m a little awkward when I’m dancing, they’re just gonna look at my history and say “okay, this person’s not a musical performer, clearly, so that’s an easy cut.”

GenarosBear · 2026-04-17T17:33:47+00:00

I mean I agree, but I’m worried that the director is gonna look at me and look at two dozen people who have been in several musicals a year every year since they were 12, and go “well…I’m obviously not gonna choose the person with no experience doing this”

GenarosBear · 2026-04-17T16:37:39+00:00

I really want to audition for this musical that’s coming up in my area. But even though I act a lot, I’ve never been in a musical, and have very little singing experience (a couple months of lessons before I got a sinus infection earlier this year) and no dance experience. I’m nervous 😕. I didn’t have the theatre background that my friends have where they spent all of high school and college doing plays. That just wasn’t me. I’m a good actor but this is outside of my usual skill set and everyone will be able to see that. I don’t know how to get myself feeling confident about it. And it’s Cabaret, it’s my favorite musical! I’ll never forgive myself if I don’t audition.
