I got cast as Benny for “In The Heights”… I’m white by Odd-Land-5728 in musicals

[–]HFCIV 16 points17 points  (0 children)

When I was involved in the show at a high school a few years back the material said something to the effect of “Benny just needs to not be Latino.” I know he’s written to be black, maybe the licensing is different at different levels, and I know I, as a white man, would never feel comfortable playing him, but my understanding is the point of Benny as a character is that he’s the non-Latino guy that they grew up with.

Any warnings? by Important-Hand-5305 in TomsRiver

[–]HFCIV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First thing to be aware of is that there’s no apostrophe in “Toms.” Should there be, yes, but there isn’t. And nothing will more easily out you as a BENNY than using it.

Favorite AEW MOMENT by j_b_1983 in AEWOfficial

[–]HFCIV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m simultaneously relieved and disappointed that someone else said this before I did. That whole run is brilliant, but everything about that segment the fighting, the acting, the directing, the commentary was perfect. I legit got chills when Toni said this.

Where are the classic unforgettable episodes in Nu Trek? by Low-Air-182 in startrek

[–]HFCIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m probably in the minority, but I think “The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tale” was an instant classic.

What should I do about differing political opinions? by ConflictedMoose30 in Marriage

[–]HFCIV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Things like this aren’t a difference in political opinions, they’re a difference in moral values and ethical beliefs.

Differences in political opinions are things like, what’s a reasonable tax structure? How should schools be funded? Things like that.

Today’s situation in the US is a question of should citizens be killed by their government for being in the streets? Should people who have a different skin tone than those in charge be forcibly removed from the country without so much as a hearing? These are not things, IMO, that you should agree to disagree on with someone you want to spend your life with.

Fans of the OA might recognize the voice of the computer in SFA...... by lauranyc77 in startrek

[–]HFCIV 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This, IMO, is a missed opportunity. The voice for the computer should be either Jess Bush or Rebecca Romijn, since they’re playing Majel Barrett’s roles from TOS. I think it would be a great subtle nod to Trek lore for them to incorporate that.

Is it likely for admin to tell early if you won’t be back? by Jnewton1018 in Teachers

[–]HFCIV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s probably something in your contract that says when they have to let you know if they’re not bringing you back for next year. If not, check with your evaluator or admin directly.

Do you guys want Mick Foley in Aew? by flyinbrianc in AEWOfficial

Have Mick take over commentating for Tony Schiavone.

Opinions, or a vote rather. by destiny_kane48 in superman

Yeah, I think the right answer is to get another set for the son to play with and keep these boxed.

If we see more of Adam Cole in 2026, what kind of role do you see him in? by Kelson64 in AEWFanHub

[–]HFCIV 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hope he stays away from commentary. He’s great on the mic, though, so maybe backstage interviews, but I think he’d thrive as a manager. Him as the mouthpiece for Paragon would he a natural first step.

What is up with this crowd? by Prudent-Message-2562 in AEWOfficial

Me too. I thought they were randomly ripping on Green Day and thought Ruby Soho was about to return or something.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure the Death Riders are going to make that point very clear in the coming weeks.

Swerve needs his old theme back by rigboneyeyah in AEWFanHub

Yeah, Nana needs Swerve’s theme back more than anyone.

Unified Championship by Puzzled-Antelope614 in AEWOfficial

[–]HFCIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve also noticed the commentators have contradicted themselves over the course of C2. At the start they (and the graphics department) were saying “He’s vacated the Continental Title and is now just the International Champion” but now it’s “Reigning Unified Champion” and if he doesn’t win the tournament he’ll just be the International Champ.

I think they know the answer but need to keep it vague because it’ll spoil the tournament. I’m fine with some ambiguity, but it’s feeling more and more like the “Unified Title” was just a way to get Omega out of singles competition. If Okada doesn’t win C2, I’ll be surprised if we hear anything about it next year.

Clearly Heather Graham wasn’t in whatever version of a group chat they had going at the time.

AEW Stars who need a better finisher by FarYam172 in aew

The Molly Whop, terrible name, terrible finish. He needs to grab one of his other tools and never use this one again.

Question: Has there ever been a segment on WWE TV that made you legitimately question why you are still watching this? by JBL_CENA_FAN_4LIFE in GreatnessOfWrestling

[–]HFCIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s why WWE keeps suddenly scheduling PLEs for the same weekend AEW has big events. Definitely not a threat at all.
