Unpopular opinion:
I really think that the Hamilton Proshot is one of the least effective Broadway Proshots I’ve ever seen and undersells a lot of the musicals emotional theatrical moments.
There are some amazing proshots for significantly worse musicals.
‘COYOTE VS ACME’ is now expected to be shelved and deleted forever.
Warner Bros wanted $75M - $80M for the film and rejected offers from Netflix, Amazon & Paramount, refusing to let them counter-offer.

"If it's a million to one, I'm gonna be that one!" Buckle your seatbelts for a film nobody remembers -- Cinderella starring Camilla Cabello and James Corden. REMEMBER THAT ONE!? EVERYONE'S FAVORITE!! COME LISTEN KIDS!
Okay, I think I know what's going on with the Les Mis re-release.
They brought in a whole new Audio Producer and Orchestrator for this version of the film, ones connected with live recording of performances such as Heathers the Musical and Disney's Newsies.
This could be cool.
Betting against Lin-Manuel Miranda is like betting against James Cameron. Despite all reasonable reasons they should fail, when the chips are down they will make a trillion dollars.
It bothers me to an unreasonable level that in Dear Evan Hansen there's a game for Jurassic Park 2 in the background because Julianne Moore is in both movies.
This is a stupid nitpick, but it's bothered me since day one. Couldn't ya'll have had a PA push it out of frame?
I love The Color Purple movie so much, probably the most effective Musical adaptations since Chicago or Dreamgirls.
I still have dumb nitpicks...

I want this movie, and I didn't even love the first one.
Unexpected mashup: musical theater-loving Kid3 tells me of a “Musicals with Cheese” podcast, in which they primarily discuss a musical, but end each episode with a cheese recommendation that matches the vibe of the musical. I haven’t listened, but if that’s your thing…
Folks who have seen the Sweeney Revival, is it a situation where only some people have the British accents, or is it all fully accented? Or does Groban pull a Hearn/Cariou and do an American accent?

Just a little over a week ago, I had the privilege of wrapping up the production of my debut feature film, "The Daughters of the Domino." It was a wild, incredible experience and it almost killed me. Get hype.
In college when I worked in a grocery store, I got into a car accident and while calling for family assistance (cuz stupid kid) found out my grandma went into a coma.
Called my work and they said, “while that’s a bummer we still need you in ASAP.”
She died right after my shift.

My new dentist was born after 9/11, and truly it was the best experience I've ever had in a dental office. Not an ounce of pain, and didn't ask me a single question while my mouth was open.
