dance, opera, theatre, and musicals being so openly disrespected nowadays is insane to me. you can’t say you want old hollywood back but then not appreciate what compounded it in the first place. can’t say you’re cultured and into film art but find at half of these dreadful.
“i thought you didn’t like holding hands”
“and you said you did”
“so what? i just get whatever i want now?”
“yes poppy. you get whatever you want now. is that a problem?”
Really scared for Szeth’s casting bc as much as it would be easy to find a white actor for this role, Szeth sets the tone for the entire series and his inner conflict needs a REAL actor
so what i’m hearing is,
“i didn’t vote for Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo because i’m uncomfortable watching two women have an emotionally expressive friendship.”
the acting between ariana, jonathan and cynthia during this was… INSANE. jonathan’s, “glinda, i am so sorry” .. ariana’s “FIYERROOOOOO” to the transition into NGD and cynthia just absolutely fucking killing it. ugh i love this movie.
