Seeing One Battle After Another again tonight… haven’t been this jazzed to see a movie a second time in theatres since Titanic.

my whole theatre exploded with laughter when he fell off the roof and got tazed. I’ve also had “Hey homie, you cool?!” running through my head endlessly - that and “a few small beers”. Incredible stuff.

You mockingly clapped at the end of the 40th film in the Criterion Collection?

totally. I was so invigorated after that movie! there was another guy who stayed until the very end of the credits and when the lights finally turned on in the theatre he turned to me with a huge grin and said, “well that was basically perfect!” Hell yeah it was, brother!

Yeah it does!!!

Can’t believe I’m lying in bed as if I’m actually going to sleep. Should just get up and play more…

Silksong! Silksong! Silksong!

I was so excited to get home after a very long day and dive into this… and, still getting my feet wet in the world, I’m so jazzed to be in it.

Why is Hamilton mostly remembered for the things it's not? The musical, now 10 years old, seems forever defined by the political moment in which it debuted.
