I said what I said. I’ll save it for another thread unless I’m too lazy to post it.

It’s a bad movie. The poor word of mouth and steep drop in box office is a good indication. My adolescent nieces all said “not impressed.” I laughed my way through it. Pure camp.

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

I have never seen this many old men with bad plastic surgery in one room. Is this a White House ceremony or Liberace’s last orgy?

Agreed, but TBF the guy in question would probably be thrilled about all the online snark and bad hot takes. It's kind of his vibe. 

It's definitely "sickening," in both senses of the word. 

This is going to be hilarious if JOH takes a MAGA turn to try to get favor from Trump. 

WTF??? He was detained three weeks ago?

I don’t engage much with social media, but surely someone noticed he went radio silent. 

Can’t wait to see this ordeal translated into a play or short form essay in Interview or HBO miniseries or Twitter thread or whatever it is the guy does next. 

Best of luck. Drugs are problematic, but drug laws are too.

This season is cursed. f**k.

NY Times: Senate Democrats Investigate Kennedy Center Deals With Trump Allies

Under Richard Grenell, the performing arts center has given steep discounts to CPAC and FIFA, signed contracts with administration associates and spent lavishly on friends.

"The Kennedy Center agreed to let FIFA use much of the space, with 24-hour-a-day access, for nearly three weeks beginning on Monday, a period that spans the beginning of the center’s highly lucrative holiday season. The decision required the center to move, cancel or reschedule holiday programming, including an orchestra performance to the movie “Home Alone,” which was moved to a different venue, and a performance by the opera singer Camilla Nylund, which was rescheduled to March. The center also canceled contracts that allowed groups to rehearse their holiday performances at the center. Renting out the entire center during that period should have cost FIFA about $5 million, according to the contract. That $5 million amount included an estimated $2.7 million in “rescheduling expenses” and “potential lost revenue,” but the contract shows that the Kennedy Center waived the entire bill."

If she sells more tickets than Mira Sorvino she can have her Broadway career back."

FYI, this scenario is more likely to happen than young men getting myocarditis from mRNA vaccines.

 

Ok grandma, let’s get you to bed.

I propose a “Weisslers Stunt Cast Osnes in Chicago” challenge. 

If she sells more tickets than Mira Sorvino she can have her Broadway career back. 

According to Billboard, Gypsy is "the first show to spawn five nominated albums in this category," setting a Grammy record. 

"The album from the original production starring Ethel Merman won in 1960, a revival starring Tyne Daly was nominated in 1991, a revival starring Bernadette Peters won in 2004 and a revival starring Patti LuPone was nominated in 2009....West Side Story, Into the Woods and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street [have] four nominated albums each."
