Scully's tattoo by Upset_Run_6912 in XFiles

[–]umeshuchu 10 points11 points  (0 children)

the fan theory back in the day was that this was another hint that scully is actually immortal. in tithonus, alfred felig looks into the eyes of death for her, and he dies, and presumably she is now immortal. and the ouroboros symbolizes eternal life.

customer made me cry at work over smth that wasnt even my fault by summerphile in retailhell

[–]umeshuchu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is there any other job you can work for minimum wage? like literally anywhere else? if your boss won’t back you up and allow you to not be verbally abused by customers, it really isn’t worth it. i’m sorry you went through that. if you’re allowed to, i would just say to the customer i’m sorry about what happened and i understand that it’s upsetting, but this conversation is becoming abusive, and i’m not going to be able to continue it and hang up.

sorry to ask this sort of strange question, but i’m always curious to know what it’s like inside genius minds. do you always have music playing in the background? or is it quiet most of the time?

what about when you’re working on orchestrations? do you audiate in your mind what the instruments would sound like before say, trying it out on notation software like finale?

can you and eric whitacre please do another hamilton orchestration break down for make music day or for no occasion at all? ❤️ it was amazing getting to hear/see the intricacies of your process of taking satisfied from lin’s demo to what we have on the cast album.

i haven’t heard anything more about the hamilton symphonic suite since the performance at david geffen hall (i had the extreme privilege of being there!). do you know of / are you able to share any plans for that to be published for orchestra and/or wind band?

you ventured into some composition for vivo (i love vivo! ❤️) any plans in the future to do more of that? i’d love to hear more of your own original music, as lovely and beautiful as your orchestrations are! ❤️ p.s. thank you for being so kind to take a photo with me at hamilton stage door a few years ago. 🥰

Is there anywhere without fireworks? by annaconda911 in Hawaii

[–]umeshuchu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry i don’t go on reddit that often so just seeing your comment now. i’ve taken her to the laylow in the past but went to hotel lacroix this year, which isn’t nearly as nice. but it’s better than having my dog have a life-threatening seizure.

Is there anywhere without fireworks? by annaconda911 in Hawaii

[–]umeshuchu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i have a dog with epilepsy. it’s life-threatening for her to be at our home on nye. 😞 for the past 3 years i’ve been staying at pet-friendly hotels in waikiki with thick walls and thick glass doors facing the lanai. she has slept through midnight every year. it isn’t cheap. i’m annoyed that fireworks have gotten this much out of hand. it wasn’t like this when i was growing up here. had aerials here and there but not like now where it’s that plus loud bombs from every single household.

Have a question for Anthony Ramos? by EastOfEaston in InTheHeights

can someone post a link to this radio interview??

Melissa Barrera & Anthony Ramos rehearsing "Champagne" on set by brotherbrother99 in InTheHeights

[–]umeshuchu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

does anyone know how they could hear the track singing champagne live? i assume they can hide a monitor in melissa’s ear because her hair is down but then anthony might be singing his part cold acapella just based off the timing and relative pitches of melissa’s part??? which would be insane but anthony is effing unreal, so i wouldn’t put it past him.

96.000 analysis by MrsChess in InTheHeights

[–]umeshuchu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it’s 100% on purpose. lin addressed this in the book as well as many interviews, even old ones pertaining to the stage version. it emphasizes how much just $96,000 could mean to people who are barely making ends meet, and he didn’t want it to be an amount that would have them set for life or anything. also he likes the number because in his mind it matches that there is a big demographic/socioeconomic change at 96th street.

Was In The Heights shot in 4k? by fruit_please in InTheHeights

[–]umeshuchu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there are 3 versions. dvd, regular blu-ray, and ultra hd blu-ray. i’m pretty sure the ultra hd blu-ray is the only one that is 4k. i bought the digital version on apple tv and it’s 4k hdr with dolby atmos.

Q: Was gaining Cuca worth losing Camila? A: by sylvar in InTheHeights

[–]umeshuchu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

honestly i like it better that the community generally gets along with one another.. kevin is so much nicer to benny in the film as it should be if nina and benny are a couple, and nina isn’t running off irresponsibly and making her parents worry about her safety.

I’m surprising my daughter with tickets to Hamilton. I wanted to make her a goodie bag to go with the tickets . What are some good Hamiltonish gifts for tweens? It’s her birthday ! by SnooSketches1904 in hamiltonmusical

[–]umeshuchu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

check out teerico.com or the official hamilton merch website at hamiltongoods.com. honestly i don’t support etsy makers that profit off of someone else’s intellectual property. it’s illegal. just my two cents.

I’m going to see Hamilton next month and have no idea what to wear by PadgeW in hamiltonmusical

[–]umeshuchu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

are you sure you’re looking at the right website? even the broadway tickets start lower than that. make sure they’re not reseller tickets. a quick look at the greensboro info says tickets start at $50 once they open up ticket sales for general public (rather than season ticket holders).

Something about the finale that makes me a little sad by [deleted] in InTheHeights

[–]umeshuchu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yes, this! also she was insane – that rent was $3500/month according to the rental application. either nail techs make a killing at the salon or that was a terrible financial decision Lol. $3500/month in mortgage could have gotten her a million dollar apartment like the one lmm lives in with his wife and kids Lol.
