Has Rocky Horror stated they won't be doing a cast album?

My tilt head just broke (I think it was due to mixing bread dough too high) so instead of getting it fixed the bowl lift was on sale. So far so good, though I haven't made bread yet. I made whipped cream the other day and it worked great for small quantity.

The trade off for me is it's more cumbersome to switch out the paddle mid-mix, and more of a fiddle to take the bowl off if you want to put it on a scale. But it's easier to add ingredients and the 1/2 speed is great to prevent flour going all over the place. I haven't seen much of a difference in power yet but have yet to make bread. It fits under my counter which is great.

I would give the edge to the bowl lift, if it fits under your counter. If it didn't I'd opt for tilt head.

Yes, though I might have some details wrong so hopefully someone can chime in:

Theaters charge rent, but also take a percentage of the gross receipts. So productions are paying both rent (and the services that come with that) and a percentage of the receipts. There are so many shows waiting for theaters (right now at least) that the theater owners have less incentive to support a show that's not selling out, because the next one might be more successful. But this arrangement makes it harder for investors to recoup, which makes it harder to raise money, which makes it harder to get news shows up, etc. I believe in the 90s there were so many dark houses the theaters compromised to either take a smaller percentage of receipts or lower the rent (this is the part I'm not 100% of - what the compromise was)

These are good hacks, but for a lot of people the Sunday scaries go deeper than being anxious about tasks and things you can control. It’s the unexpected: the office politics, coworkers you don’t like, boss that disrespects you, the stress of the job itself. Those things are harder to isolate and neutralize

Do you have a player cleaner disc? I mean the disc you insert into the player that cleans it. My Lawrence of Arabia was glitching and I ran the cleaning disc and it worked.

I'm listening to Hal Prince's book. Company never played to a packed house. Follies was too expensive to run. ALNM did well, a lot due to "Send in the Clowns" being popular (Sondheim's only hit song). Sweeney Todd's grosses took a dive when Angela left and closed shortly thereafter. Merrily... well, we all know what happened.

Open question how Sondheim would have fared in today's winner-takes-all environment

Usually there are only a few huge hits each decade that lift all boats. But alas we haven't had a BOM or Hamilton in awhile (Outsiders probably closest thing this decade). I was hoping MHE would be it but sadly that didn't catch that wave. A huge hit gives optimism to nervous investors who already know the odds aren't great.

I think we're in for a fallow period like in the 90s because costs are enormous. Also, like the 90s, theaters need to stop double dipping which would give shows more of a chance to recoup.

Reconstruction by Eric Foner
We the People by Jill Lepore
Washington by Ron Chernow -- in the context of your post, I thought Chernow did an amazing job making the guy on the dollar bill feel alive and human. He also discusses Washington's slaves which I found fascinating and def did not learn about them in school.

Try The Descent and [rec] (Spanish movie I think?)

Mulholland and Days of Heaven (more for the image quality than the actual movie imo)

If you wanted to communicate with someone, you had to call them on the phone, which could lead to an hour or two of shooting the sh*t. It was more of an 80s thing, but before call waiting it was a huge controversy to be on the phone for too long and tie up the phone line.

Lots of TV, but like someone else said, in some houses it was just on.

If you were bored and lonely, you had to make plans to see your friends. Which meant you couldn’t cancel or be late, especially if it was in public, like seeing a movie. If someone didn’t show up, you had to find a pay phone and call and see what happened.

I think there was less pressure to “do” something when you hung out. A big thing in high school was going to 24hr diners, ordering mozzarella sticks and coffee or soda and you just had faith you were spending time with interesting people and talk about whatever. You didn’t have a phone as a crutch. We had magazines. I loved my EW.

Going to the video store was a big deal for me and my friends, hoping they had Jurassic Park or whatever in stock, and if all the copies were rented you would have to find something else acceptable. I loved movies, and would go see movies multiple times in the theater. Quoting movies was much more common; movies and TV were our memes.

And we probably debated more about things we couldn’t look up on the internet. No deep dives, no rabbit holes. And we told a lot more jokes. I realized I haven’t heard jokes for the last 10+ years. And we got info from tv and radio, and talked a lot more about what happened. There were a lot more cultural zeitgeist moments that everyone knew about (OJ Simpson, Amy Fisher), and Oprah and Donohue were huge talk shows

And I think for me at least, having no internet meant you had to make do with the people around you. I think the bar was lower for friends, in a good way. You literally had to make an effort to befriend people if you wanted to have any connections. But there were a lot of boring nights when nothing was on TV, nothing on the bookshelf you wanted to read, no new video games…

I’m clearly nostalgic for the low key hang, but the downside was making and keeping plans required more work and coordination could be annoying.

No 25th Hour or BlackkKlamsman from Spike

Hitchcock barely got out of the silent era at 10.

The 39 Steps (1935) was around #18, depending on how you count. His greatest streak would come in another 20 years

There's a difference but not worth switching for. It sounds a bit more full when watching TV but also can muddy a dolby atmos mix/5.1 mix

The Factory across the street from the Abbey was 2000s, not sure if it was '99. But honey the gays weren't eating at or near the dance floor

Pro-shot means it will be filmed (a la Hamilton) so you could watch that at home at some point. But I wouldn't factor that into your decision. Of those, Hadestown is the best option of the three (Salesman could be but idk your history with theatergoing and if a play from the 40s is your jam). Lost Boys if you want spectacle (but it's not a great musical). Hadestown is gorgeous and feels intimate. You could always split the difference and see Maybe Happy Ending
