“‘No good deed goes unpunished,'” writes Erick DuPree after seeing the new film Wicked: For Good. “The song had always been powerful, but in Erivo’s hands it felt like something older than Oz, older than Broadway, older even than the myth itself.”

My wife's taking me out to a movie in the theater tonight, something we do very rarely nowadays because of #COVID. What should we see?
(Background info: we've already seen and loved the first Wicked movie (+ I've seen it on stage 2x on Broadway and once touring) and seen and liked both previous Knives Out movies.)

One thing I was taught in trauma therapy is mindfulness. And that also meant: Don't judge! Don't say something was bad, it just was. And I never thought about why, because not judging helped and so I didn't feel the need to find out. But I think it just distracts us from realizations. You get stuck on the feeling it evokes and can't see the things you need to to draw a lesson from it.
Just throwing this out there.
A few thoughts on my second viewing of “Wicked: For Good”:
It’s really cute that people in the crowd for “Thank Goodness” have apparently bought cheap souvenir copies of Glinda’s wand.
“No Place Like Home” still isn’t great, but I’d listen to Cynthia Erivo sing the phone book so I can’t be mad.
A surprising number of the talking animals are Australian species. I guess that’s some kind of “Aus/Oz” pun?
Cynthia Erivo is of course the best actor in the show but Marissa Bode is a breakout star. She wants you to Feel with a capital F, and she really delivers, in a fairly short amount of screen time. I hope she’ll go on to great things but I know she has -isms weighing against her.
That last shot is perfect and beautiful and now I can’t imagine the show ending otherwise.

Gays and Oz: Why There's No Place Like Homo
-
Matt Baum asks the question "Why gay like Oz?" He looks into the history of the story from books, to film, to tv, to book, to stage, to film. And the friends of Dorothy that made each come to life. And the queers it gave life to.

Another instance I’m on is talking about Zootopia so how’s that guys?
Wait you watched wicked…yeah how’s the wicked?
Yes I was in the movie theater. How was FNAF?
No, no, you don’t understand I wasn’t there for movie you can watch in a theater seven times.
I was there for shattered.
Crying my eyes out because the last time I heard this song was when my sister and I were in chorus together in elementary school.
Because I knew you, I have been changed, for good. I miss you ♡

Jon M. Chu, director of 'Wicked: For Good,' argues that AI can't replicate the magic of on-set improvisation, claiming spontaneous moments are what truly make a film shine. Is human creativity forever beyond algorithmic reach, or is it just a matter of time?

“I did not want to be prophetic,” Maguire reflected at the Fordham event. “I wanted to be hackneyed and old-fashioned. I wanted to sell books for four months and then get remaindered.”

Can't think of any straight ones, sorry. 🤷♂️
Watch Ariana Grande & Cynthia Erivo Perform ‘Get Happy’/’Happy Days’ Medley at Intimate Hollywood Event
J'ai trouvé l'adaptation ciné de Wicked assez décevante, et pourtant je suis bon public pour les comédies musicales.
C'est joli, mais le rythme est si mal fichu que tous les efforts faits dans la mise en scène et le talent des interprètes sont gâchés.
La seconde partie réussit même l'exploit d'être encore plus décousue et creuse que la première 🥲
