Wicked 2024

★★ Watched 18 Jan 2025

it's been about 15 years since I've seen wicked on stage and about 20 years since I was a theater kid. I never hated wicked as much as everyone else does, but I've also heard the OST often enough (my sister had "popular" in her audition repertoire, as most people did) that it's a mental fixture to me. it's comforting, it's familiar, I can sing every part of it from memory.

The Last Days of Disco 1998

★★★★½ Watched 01 Jan 2025

one of the best genres of music: disco, which none of these assholes deserve
one of the best genres of anything: people who go to parties and are assholes (who do not deserve disco) but in a quotable way
a true accomplishment of playing against type: chloe sevigny, exuding a similar energy to shoshanna from girls (the characters don't NOT map)
