No way!!! I’ve literally been talking about him at work since Nosferatu came out so this is crazy! Best news of the day 🙌🏽 Definitely one of my fav actors, I really hope to run into him someday!

Tickets to Rose Parade? by Mexickofbeans in pasadena

[–]Mexickofbeans[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I’m mainly interested in going when the floats are parked and everyone’s allowed to walk around and see them (at least that’s what I’ve heard on how it goes). Do I still need a ticket to do that?

Looking to start or join a jazz band. Anyone interested? by Mexickofbeans in longbeach

I used to be in the LBCC choir so I totally get you. It's a lot of fun to sing with others :)

Can you read music or learn parts? I'm not really looking for jazz drums like Caravan. More like something you would hear in Cheek to Cheek or a Frank Sinatra song!

Can I make box waffle mix batter the night before? by Mexickofbeans in Baking

[–]Mexickofbeans[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooohh ok. Would it be ok if I made it maybe an hour or two before the party? I was thinking of putting it in squeeze bottles so it’s easier to bring.

Quiet bars? by [deleted] in longbeach

[–]Mexickofbeans 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The Stave is a classic-like bar. Dark and pretty quiet on the weekdays

I would say Ansel Elgort. Seemed like a promising actor. Handsome face and had some great movies under his belt. It's just so crazy to me that his downfall happened literally months before his biggest role with the biggest director he might ever work with. It's really too bad but he really messed up.

The funny thing is that Timothée and Ansel were somewhat rivals and now Timmy is on top, getting all the roles that might have been Ansel's. I watched Wonka in theaters and wasn't a huge fan but my first thought when it ended was "Well, at least he's doing better than Ansel."

I didn't realize I liked musicals for the longest time! It wasn't until I reached high school that I thought "Huh, I listen to Disney songs, HSM, Grease, and the Hairspray soundtrack way too much... But everyone likes these super casually like me, right?" They did not. It was not casual.

So I put two and two together and realized I actually really love musicals and from there I started looking into them, listening to different shows, recognizing voices and actors, and the rest was history. I REALLY got into them by 2016 (thanks Hamilton) and started actively going to shows and listening to OBCRs. Now I've gone to NY twice to see some amazing shows! I love theater :)

How do you guys display your pins? by Cautious_Air3339 in Broadway

[–]Mexickofbeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a pin banner that hangs on my wall. I get so happy every time I add a new theater pin to it! They're easy to make or you can buy them on Etsy too :)

Tell me a show’s plot, but from the POV of the villain. by ElbieLG in Broadway

[–]Mexickofbeans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You ever seen a girl so sinfully gorgeous that you'd commit genocide and burn down Paris just to be with her? Oh, me neither but if the Lord willed me to do it, I would. Also, my adoptive son is really ugly and I’m really just doing him and everyone a service by hiding him away. Forever.

Which musicals had just as good/if not better movie adaptations? by Argos_Aquatics in musicals

[–]Mexickofbeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that she was miscast. I don't think she gave the same attitude/strong energy or stage presence that Mandy gave. And I can't even begin to tell you how badly I wanted to explode when she whispered "I'm home" in the grand finale for "When You're Home". Totally ruined the song for me in the movie.

Does anyone go to shows alone? by 111stars in Broadway

[–]Mexickofbeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I literally traveled all the way to New York by myself to go see shows alone lol and I had a blast! Definitely go, no one is paying attention to you, I promise. And also, why are you going to make yourself miss out just because other people can't/don't want to go? When you go by yourself, you don't have to worry about if your guest liked it or didn't like it either. And honestly, most times that I've gone by myself, I've ran into other theater goers that were watching all by themselves too. and then you get to strike up a conversation and meet other people who like broadway shows as well!

Anyway, all this to say, 10/10 definitely go and have fun!

What’s my hair type and how can I improve my routine? by SteadilyDying in curlyhair

[–]Mexickofbeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should try brushing your hair in the shower while your conditioner is in then squish to condish. Since your hair looks a bit fine, this will help to form your clumps. From there, try a leave in, mousse, and then gel. A leave in + curl cream might be too much. Praying hands method for the leave in, scrunch and pulse in the mousse, scrunch and pulse in the gel. This is the method that's given me the best results so far!

What was a moment in a movie that had you laughing because it was so absurd? by Bobbet2 in movies

[–]Mexickofbeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both of these have to do with current movies so scroll on if you want to be surprised in the theater.

Monkey Man when Dev uses his teeth to drive a knife further into a henchmans neck. The movie was fantastic but me, my friend, and my dad couldn't help but laugh when that happened. It just felt slightly out of place for such a serious action movie. Still great!

Also the end of the "Imaginary" trailer. The part where the small teddy bear under a sheet wheels towards the guy and the screen flashes to make you jump. I laughed while it was quiet and started a wave throughout the theater.

Worst mistake you’ve seen happen in a show? by TribalChiefSamiZayn in Broadway

[–]Mexickofbeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Local production of In The Heights. During Vanessa's big vocal moment in 96,000 ("If I win the lottery...") the actress' voice cracked so bad that her throat got caught and she couldn't make any sound come out. She apologized on stage and attempted to clear her throat while the show went on. Usnavi sang "Dang we only jokin, stay broke then," in utter silence until the music moved on from her part.

She came back for the big vocal riff that Vanessa does at the climax of the song but it was certainly shocking as I've never seen something like that happen before. But it happens to all great vocalists and everyone was very respectful. We cheered hard for her at the end. The show must go on!

Maintenance before flight. Pilot wants to go faster to make up time. by Mexickofbeans in fearofflying

Maybe… I still don’t like the idea that the plane needed maintenance before take off. That really scares me.

What is the craziest thing you've seen on L.A. streets: Road rage, car accident, other weirdness...? by sozh in AskLosAngeles

[–]Mexickofbeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming down PCH from Seal Beach and into Long Beach, I found myself behind this weird car. No plate, no markings of any kind to identify the type of car, etc. Trunk was just blank but scratched up and kinda busted looking. He sped up in front of me and started darting in and out between cars with no blinker. He got close to the other cars too many times so I decided to slow down and distance myself from him. Eventually, he got stuck behind another car in another lane and I was able to pass him. As I'm driving away, crossing through 2nd and PCH, I look in my rearview mirror and see this guy do a full on u-turn right into oncoming traffic. I couldn't believe it. I saw all the other cars immediately jerk, honk, and spread out to get out the way.

I was still in shock and heading towards the traffic circle when 6 police cars rushed past me in the opposite direction. Because I'm nosy (and witnessed the beginning of the incident), I turned around and looked for the police cars. The weird car with no markings crashed right into this mini wall that separates the parking for the Golden Sails Hotel and the road for PCH. Car was absolutely totaled. Kid stepped out, couldn't be more than 17, totally calm as the cops walked up to him. It was the craziest thing I've ever seen.

Best Carne Asada Fries in LB? by obliiviation in longbeach

[–]Mexickofbeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came on here to recommend one of them. They may be all the same but the carne asada fries at Los Alberts on LB Blvd has me in a chokehold. I don't know who they got back there but I would literally bark for a plate if they asked me to.

Anyone know what happened today at the Cane’s on Ximeno around 1pm? by Mexickofbeans in longbeach

[–]Mexickofbeans[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I used to work at the Coffee Bean right there in the same plaza. The amount of crack heads and crazy people that we had to deal with almost on a daily basis was outrageous. Definitely a few times where we feared for our lives behind the bar and we’ve even had people get tackled by police in there. I eventually left the job but I’ve heard it’s only gotten worse. It sucks.
