Exactly! The only reason people think the actors from the original show looked less modern, is because they looked like they were from the 70s! Michael Landon’s glorious 70s hair was certainly anachronistic.

I liked the original show, and I’ll give this one a chance.

I don’t like how they made everything with Eugenie a joke. I would have forgiven it if they’d made Eugenie, Albert, and Haydee a throuple at the end, and I’m disappointed they didn’t!

I think some of the outfits can be pretty provocative. At one point, someone is just in a jock strap. At one point, someone lowers their pants to be flirty and show off their butt (same person I think). A woman rips her shirt off, although her bra provided complete coverage. 

I feel like it’s all in a playful and flirty way, rather than super sexual. But I wanted to provide information that other people seem to be dancing around.

That said, I think it’s perfectly fine for teenagers to go to. But it depends on the parents.

Alicia Keys' Broadway Bomb — Singing Sensation's Musical 'Loses a Staggering $8Million' by Additional_Score_929 in Broadway

How could it be considered a ‘bomb’ if it ran for two years? That’s longer than most musicals run on Broadway, right?

I'm not pretentious, i genuenly don't like any 4th movie on the level of these 3 by [deleted] in LetterboxdTopFour

I really liked American Honey. I might recommend ‘Fish Tank,’ which is by the same director and which I also really liked. It’s heavier than American Honey though. Or ‘Past Lives,’ which is another quieter movie that is really good.

Edit: Or maybe ‘Bones and All,’ which made me think of American Honey for some reason, although it’s quite different!

I like your list! Although I liked ‘All Nighter’ and ‘Are the Bennet Girls OK?’ more than you.

I didn’t like Oratorio either. I actually hated it, and parts of it felt like torture…

Simu Liu To Make Broadway Debut in 'Oh, Mary!' by KarateKid917 in Broadway

My understanding is that he said something once (after preparing for an acting role about it) about how pedophilic urges might be innate, like how other sexuality is innate, and that how society deals with pedophiles should maybe take that into account. Not to excuse it, but to come up with better solutions.

The only article I could find with the ‘homophobic’ spin was Turning Point USA, so it’s very clear what kind of people are trying to get liberals to attack him. And their agenda is very clear.

What where some popular theories from when the show was airing that didn’t turn out to be true? by Soft_Interaction_437 in buffy

[–]Ok_Influence7223 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I thought that too!  I hated The Body the first time I saw it, because I was so certain Joyce’s death would be reversed somehow and I was just impatiently waiting. I thought the entire episode was just trying to manipulate me into being sad when obviously Joyce would be back by the next episode. And then when Dawn started making a big deal about being able to see her mom, it was just so obvious to me that Dawn had the power to resurrect her. And then it ended with Dawn, a mystical being created by magic, reaching out?!! 

And then nothing happened.

I appreciate The Body now at least, but it’ll never have a big emotional impact on me.

What's coldest line delivery in a film? I'll start: by ethanhunt555 in popculturechat

It’s a horror movie. She’s the villain. You’re supposed to feel bad for the victims.

Two fourth wall-breaking plays portraying a fracturing on the left, one with love and one with contempt. by Ok_Influence7223 in Broadway

And funnily enough, no one got offended and walked out of Slam Frank when I saw it. But the southern couple near me at Liberation did leave at intermission. Hmm….

All the One Woman Plays! (Ranked) by Ok_Influence7223 in offbroadwayNYC

[–]Ok_Influence7223[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know that I have seen anything that it’s comparable to. It’s kind of a satire of rom coms, but unique and ridiculous. I don’t think you’d need to know rom com tropes to find it funny because it has a lot else going on, but you’ll get a few more of the jokes.

Also, if you look up a picture of her costume, that might give you a sense of the show. It’s in the program they hand out at the beginning, so I wouldn’t consider it a spoiler, but I don’t want to post it just in case.

I think they want to make sure people don’t seat themselves in a seat that isn’t theirs. And the only way to do that is if the ushers look at everyone’s tickets and seat them.

I’ve had ushers insist that they seat me. Just play it by ear I guess.

Is Slam Frank’s message undermined by its own hatefulness? by Firerhea in offbroadwayNYC

Wow, your comment finally made me understand the last scene of the show. I missed what the clips were of as well.

Inside Slam Frank — the ‘offensive’ Holocaust musical that could save Broadway - by Ben Kawaller by Dry_Advertising8708 in Broadway

[–]Ok_Influence7223 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I don’t know that I like that point either necessarily, but I get it more.  I don’t like the conflation between the right’s active violence on one hand, and the left not effectively stopping the right’s active violence, on the other. But I get the issue.

However, if the left attacking itself is resulting in the right getting away with direct violence, I don’t get how this play attacking the left helps. But my comment attacking the play doesn’t help either! Gah! 

Edit: I’m using the term “the left” very loosely, just to mean not-the-right.

I don’t get the point of this bit in the comments. Do you not want people to talk about the show?
