By contrast the Erivo version makes Jesus into a much more sympathetic figure. She conveys a kind of deep pain and suffering. It's beautiful yes, and of course Jesus is a tragic figure, but to me it weakens the criticism of the Christian story I always read in the original

And the movie Gethsemane kind of feels like a kid who is too afraid to stand up to his father's completely unreasonable demand that he die for some unknown reason, he expresses that he doesn't see the point but will do it anyway because daddy said so. You kind of pity him as much as anything

In the movie, Jesus comes off as kind of a whiny and dismissive leader of a cult he didn't mean to create mostly made up of uncritical followers. When Simon asks him to use his influence to fight Roman oppression, Jesus is just like, yeah that's dumb you should just die and go to heaven

Cynthia Erivo's 'Gesthemane' in that Jesus Christ superstar video going around is for sure an incredible vocal performance, BUT it strikes me as a much more Christian rendition of the song than the 70s ones

wtf is a "color analysis"

I believe it! I think that's for the best, I dunno I think it's had a pretty weird and bad effect on how people listen to and think about and write music

it's time to ditch spotify otherdimensional.club/notes/ditchi...

yet they are pushing this creepy idea of "Americans need to have more children"

makes sense, thanks!

helpful cheat sheet—curious why the Playtype Frequency section is grayed out?

it's so fuckin weird and creepy how much HBO is pushing White Lotus merch and "experiences" and so on that exhibit the very exoticizing/appropriating/colonial aspects of tourism the show is criticizing
