To mock someone because of a physical trait they have no control over is absolutely disgusting. There's plenty of reasons and ways to mock Trump. This shouldn't be one of them.

I fail to see how it is a bad thing. They rent out their spaces as a source of income. Direly needed income.

THE QUEEN OF VERSAILLES To Close January 4, 2026

I will celebrate bad shows closing the same way I celebrate bad politicians losing their campaigns. Yes, people are out of work, but now we can have something better and other people will get jobs they didn't have before.

Jennifer Lopez to Star in KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN Film

John Adams said: "joevitus said: "It's already available on Prime Video."
Yes, for PVOD. "Currently, AppleTV and Amazon offer the options of PVOD rental (~$15) or purchase (~$20)."
But the film will not become "free" to view (as part of having an Amazon, or another platform's subscription) until later. "The timing will depend on the film's digital performance and how awards season shakes out."
To be honest, I'm not 100% sure I'm using the correct terminology when I write, "PVOD". The terminology has changed to be defined more specifically from when everything first fell under the single umbrella of "VOD". The terms are better explained HERE.
What I'm waiting for(and what fits my budget) is what Ithinkis called an "SVOD" release. "
There's also AVOD (or sometimes ASVOD) which is Ad Supported VOD via platforms like Tubi or PlutoTV which don't require a subscription. Basic breakdown is:
PVOD = Premium VOD = $19.99 rental
VOT = Video On Demand = $4.99 rental
SVOD = Subscription VOD = included with paid subscription to service
AVOD = Ad Supported VOD = included with free service

Disney Broadway Concerts at Epcot - Anyone Gone?

macbeth said: "https://disneyparksblog.com/wdw/epcot-broadway-series-performers-announced-for-2026-festival-of-the-arts/
Worth it? Do they vary at all from show to show?"
The shows don't vary for the individual performers, but each set of performers will have their own set. Typically it's 3ish duets and they'll each do 2 solo numbers. The whole concert is usually around 30 minutes from my experience. It's fun, and I go, but I'm also a passholder so it's just something nice to do. I wouldn't book a trip or a park ticket just for the concert.

Lot of overlap for me, but this would be mine: - The Full Monty (yes it opened in the last couple months of the 20th Century, but it was eligible for the Tony in the 21st)
- The Producers
- Hairspray
- Caroline, or Change
- The Light in the Piazza
- Next to Normal
- Fun Home
- Hamilton
- Come From Away
- The Band's Visit
Agreed that Caroline, Or Change would be the pinnacle

Strange time to start a sudden advertising blitz - when your website is barely functional and in the worst shape it’s been in years."
You'd be surprised how easy it is to target those ads to the people who are in that area at any given moment. Geofencing is both terrifying and an amazing mar

Jamie Lloyd-helmed EVITA revival to play the London Palladium in 2025

I kind of feel this would be like if I wasted time arguing over why I think the Jamie Lloyd Sunset is better than the 2017 Glenn Close. There is a point where the work, reaction to it (and eventually awards) all speak for themselves. So I feel I don’t need to anymore. For Evita, audiences

How did Asian representation help it win any of those awards? Have voters said that they liked the show better because of the Asian representation?
Corey Cott and Denee Benton were part of early readings. If they had stayed with the show, none of this would even be a discussion at all. Just because the show opened on Broad
