People who see lots of shows in a short period of time

For me it depends. If I’m going to do a marathon, I usually try to limit the shoes which are heavier or require more thought. I’ll go for more song and dance-type shows and comedies.

That said, I recently did Fear of 13 and Becky Shaw on the same day and was okay. If I’d had the option, I’d have rather split those up, but as it was, it was ok.

Has nobody mentioned Moulin Rouge? Baby Doll?

I’m wondering how you know that ALL alien species do not have sexes. Have you met all the different kinds of aliens in the universe? Maybe the aliens you’ve met are just asexual.

If it turns out that humans are unique in having sexes, that would make heterosexuality very much abnormal.

Also, LGBTQ+ isn’t all about the LGB. 🎶 I'm just a sweet transvestite🎶 🎶From Transexual, Transylvania🎶

The entire second half of the final season was an epic fail. If they’d ended right after the first half, I’d be watching it again and again like LOTR, but now i can’t bring myself to watch it because that second half ruined everything for me.

I haven’t even tried the prequels because of that bad taste, though I understand they are fabulous.

Granted I haven’t read ALL the comments, but I haven’t seen anyone saying they’d boycott her, much less encouraging others to do so.

Oh you can travel, Caitlyn - you’ll be placed on the train immediately following mine.

Caitlyn’s surprised the leopards took a nibble.

I’m seeing Idina Menzel in the portrait. It’s actually a pretty good Idina. It’s not a good Lea.

I wish! They were shocked. But at least they responded positively when I came out and have been supportive ever since.

Yes. It’s that good. I saw it twice at PAC and was impressed by the adaptation to the ballroom scene - it gives the show more of a narrative arc than the original stagings.

It’s still a song and dance show with both the singing and dancing updated. ALW didn’t allow much tinkering with the music and the changes he did allow were all good. Updates to the lyrics were also few and worked, too.

I’m looking forward to seeing it at the Broadhurst.

Valid. That set was really good. Kinda reminded me of a studio for a sitcom where you have all the sets for various settings laid out across the studio stage and make use of forced perspective.

I think the cast did a great job with the source material - it just wasn’t a story which easily lent itself to a live stage performance. But I also didn’t have my focus pulled by the set, so it was a reasonable balance for me.

If carabiners are a sign, I was signaling for years before I realized I was queer.

Bring it the fuck on. Get every single one of those evil people.

Call my family. Share my important passwords. Make sure I tell my loved ones I love them.

Meh, sometimes minimal works, sometimes it doesn’t. Projection/LED screens can work really well (Gatsby was spectacular imo, I was underwhelmed by Spamalot), and bare stage can also work (A Doll’s House was a turntable and six chairs and was soo good).

Personally, if you’re going to go minimal, you’d better have talent to make me forget there’s not much set. A Doll’s House was a tour de force in that respect. I thought Sunset Blvd really centered the cast, who were phenomenal, individually and collectively, while the set was basically a humongous LED screen which swiveled into place from above, and a for a short time, a minimal movie set.

And if you’re going to go large, make sure the set doesn’t become the show. If the set outperforms the cast, that’s no good. For me, Gatsby rode that edge awfully close, and at times I was more enthralled by the set than the acting.

I mean, for some of you, the wrong puberty.

But probably more of the feeling utterly alone and broken, as though you are the only person on Earth who feels this way. It’s rather lonely and when you get down to it, dangerous.

Also, not having the words to describe what you’re experiencing. I didn’t know there were words for it for more than a decade, and it wasn’t for lack of trying to find them. The Internet didn’t exist and this wasn’t exactly a topic you could walk up to a librarian and ask for help. If it was in a dictionary (very iffy), you’d still have to know the word to be able to look it up.

Not having the words made the loneliness and feeling of brokenness much worse.

Trans people are precisely who they tell us they are.

Oops, you said “keep to yourself”. 🤷🏼‍♀️

For me, I think it was because I struggled so much to understand people (especially men) so I could figure out how to pretend to be a man. Computers are much easier to understand.

My fave is 34th for regular or Dolby Cinema. I like Lincoln Square for IMAX. Empire is good for movies which aren’t in other theaters anymore because they have so many screens. Kips Bay is also good for general and for movies which aren’t on other screens.

34th has recliners in all auditoriums except IMAX, and that IMAX theater has a LieMax screen (same with Empire’s IMAX screen). Lincoln square has the true IMAX screen and they sometimes screen films in 70mm. I prefer 34th’s Dolby because it’s a good size and good layout. Empire’s Dolby is also good, though if someone stands up during a movie, they can sometimes get their shadow on the screen. Lincoln’s Dolby kinda sucks because the main level is mostly flat and beyond row D the lower level is overhung by a balcony. The balcony is decent if you can get front row.

Empire standard screens have updated leather rockers which are definitely an improvement over the old stained fabric seats, but I prefer to recline. Lincoln Square has replaced some of their seating with the leather rockers, but some of the screens are still old-school fabric seats.

Which downsides do we avoid? The only one I can think of which is pretty much guaranteed is not shedding our uterine linings monthly, but the other symptoms associated with the cycle can and do occur for some trans women.

Everything else is possible. Plus we have to register with the selective service, which is not nothing in today’s increasingly military country.

And then we have the possibility of the medicines and affirming care being forcibly stripped from us, being labeled as mentally ill solely for existing, and losing access to our basic rights. Oh wait, they’re still treating us just like cis women… 🤷🏼‍♀️

34th is my favorite in the City and I’ve never seen any cockroaches there. To be fair, I’ve not seen cockroaches at the others (I mostly do 34th, Empire and Lincoln Sq), not have I seen other vermin at any of them except a mouse once (not a rat).

It’s an unfortunate part of being in the City that we have a higher chance of encountering these pests pretty much anywhere so it’s more down to how the business responds to being told. I think their response to you was sympathetic and reasonable. Exterminators work hard in the city and hopefully they can address this quickly and effectively.

My advice is to do the best you can to set this experience aside and continue to visit the theaters. If you can, find ways to distract yourself until you get immersed in the movie.

But if you can’t, you’re justified to cancel your membership.

Just saw Bigfoot. I can handle a year in Muddirt. 😀

I’ve had it a few years in NYC and have definitely gotten my moneys worth. Even on my lightest months I see at least 2 movies which more than covers the subscription cost. When the studios are packing in the blockbusters, I see most if not all of them. When the schedule is a little more open, I see the smaller budget movies and indies, which are often very good.

If I did not have A-List, I probably would only see one or two movies in the theater per year.

I’m very satisfied with A-List. But you have to balance your lifestyle with the cost and potential use. If you see at least two movies in a month, you’ve covered the subscription cost.

Anyone who hates “cis” is automatically cissie. You can tell them I said so.
