It's just SO genuinely fun and uncynical. I sobbed, I laughed, I had an amazing time. It's not a good movie, but it doesn't even matter; it's a blissful, unadulterated celebration of life. Dancing Queen comes in blazing on boats, Colin Firth and Stellan Skarsgaard doing the Titanic pose, and I just about lost my mind in my utter enjoyment. The extras look like they're having the time of their lives. Every big name actor in this looks like they'r

"Honestly, watch a Sean Cody video while playing Donna Summer hits. It’ll be a better experience."

 

I'm crying laughing at that. I've never walked out of a show in my life and I thought this would be an excellent show to have one or three gin and tonics before and just be blissfully drunk throughout. Huge mistake and I'm happy I left during intermission because I was getting a migraine. I don't know how a rock ope

Most of the theatre I see is off-off, experimental, avant-garde sorta stuff, so it was pretty cool for me to see such a Fringey show in such a big and beautiful theatre. I'm actually not entirely sure how The Encounter made its way to Broadway, but I can't complain. It felt like something much better suited for Three Legged Dog or maybe even The Public. 

I enjoyed it a lot. I'm very much into tech/sound-related things, so binaural sound isn't new to me, b

I showed up at 6:45pm for a 7:30pm Sunday show. They said there were no rush tickets but the lady said "the cheapest ticket I can give you is $45 for rear mez." I bought the ticket and the seat was great; nothing was obstructed and during intermission I moved to an empty seat in the third row of the center of the mez (this show is clearly struggling to sell tickets... or maybe it was just an anomaly because it was Mother's Day??). Anyway, the corner of the ticket said "lott

It's beyond the realm of anything I've ever seen before. I can't even begin to wrap my head around its structure. Metaphysics, theory of relativity, space-time continuum, tangent universes etc.. are incredibly complex topics and in one hour, Andrew Schneider represents them visually through a glitchy and chaotic artistic landscape. One review likened it to some kind of TED Talk, another likened it to being in The Matrix. It's all true. I'd call it an experience m

I saw it the other night, I absolutely can't stop thinking about it. It's cerebral and haunting. I wasn't sure what to feel in the first 45 minutes, but as the play slowly gets more surreal I realized what she was trying to do. It's a meandering mood piece. It's gorgeous.

I think Mr. Burns is sort of an outlier in her collection of work. I never got to see it, but from reading the script it seems much louder and more rambunctious (I love it all the same).

I absolutely loved it. It's the most boring subject matter made interesting by characters who think they know what they're doing. Everyone is convinced they have the right answer to their problems and they continue to battle. They constantly try to justify (especially Danes' character, holy ****) their ****ed up morals and the way I saw it, Sarah Burgess is vilifying them through comedy. I don't usually like dense business-related dialogue, but I thought th
