    Live Theatre / Musicals

    This is a super delayed response (I've been completely submerged in school work and work work) but I have to say that A Strange Loop's songs completely captured my heart. An absolutely beautiful soundtrack that delivers some emotional devastation, especially being gay and having too many friends...

    Nintendo Coming to Universal Parks

    All I ask for is an Ollivanders style Pokemon starter experience! Seriously though the rumors for Pokemon sound great so far. Excited to see what actually comes out of it.

    Live Theatre / Musicals

    So I know I'm late with it but just finished Come From Away on Apple TV and it definitely brought out the waterworks tonight, especially after the 20th remembrance this past weekend. Beautiful story about the tragedy of that day, but also the beauty of so many people coming together to help one...

    Dear Evan Hansen

    Love the discussion here - I don't see anywhere else analyzing the script like this. The occasional critic has brought these issues up but the overwhelmingly positive public reception has really masked the major issues in the script, namely lack of consequences. I think a lot of people read (as...

    Super Nintendo World (Osaka)

    Wow! Amazing to see another groundbreaking land and attraction debut! I have a few thoughts based on the *checks notes* 60 pages I've recently caught up on and the videos I've seen of Mario Kart in action. Firstly everyone I've shown anything to regarding the land has been blown away. I've had a...

    Pixar's Soul

    I'm gonna be the first person to say I didn't love it, and I've been seeing rave reviews everywhere. I loved the premise, I liked the characters, and it had me till we got to the third act. It was a great exploration of a lot of high ideas and I was super excited to see the threads come...

    The Future of Lost Continent (Poseidon Fury closing May 9)

    I know this is the most unlikely scenario but I love the idea of a larger Zelda land with some subsections. It's not popular enough to warrant it but, like Avatar the Last Airbender, the world building relies on a vast concept with multiple cultures and places. Potter works because it's...

    Hogwarts Legacy

    So in spite of all the controversy surrounding Rowling (and please avoid delving into that too far outside potential ramifications for this specific topic), it appears the RPG is going forward. And it looks pretty incredible to be honest... Trailer below.

    Live Theatre / Musicals

    Oh I'm so happy someone made this thread! I've been a theater geek since my middle school years, always fun to see other people who love it! I'm gonna go a little bit stereotypical here and list Wicked first. Yes I agree it's a bit bubblegum, but it really does have heart and I love pretty much...

    Hamilton (2020)

    Just finished it and it was my first viewing of the show, I'd listened to most of the album but never got the chance to go view it live. I'll probably post a more thorough review tomorrow but I have to say I loved it. It was a great thing to watch in a time where many (myself included) are...

    Love, Victor

    I liked the show but I definitely liked the movie a lot more, but I think that might be a pacing issue along with some of the more over dramatic plot points... Edited to say that I do think one cool thing the show did was using a lot of LGBTQ+ artists in the soundtrack, many of the songs are...

    Love, Victor

    I think they were shying away from the inuendos (Lone Stone anyone?) But I agree that overall it really doesn't have anything that warranted it not being on Disney+ - but I think that the removal really had to do with not wanting queer characters on Disney's main streaming service, which...

    Love, Victor

    Having finished the whole series I agree with most of what you said Chris - dialogue is definitely cheesy, along with some of the plot concepts. But I agree with rage in that I think I expected more from the show due to the switch to Hulu. But obviously the writing style was already where it was...

    Love, Victor

    Didn't see a dedicated thread for it so I figured I'd start one with my thoughts so far (currently binging and am on episode 6). I'm going to avoid spoilers in this post so if anyone has thoughts on specific scenes or episodes please put them in a spoiler tag! Overall it's fairly good! I can...

    Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

    I have avoided posting about previous issues regarding Rowling's continued comments on a major social issue, because it is a potentially inflammatory topic. However at this point I do think this is a major issue going forward, for her as a creator and for the Wizarding World as a franchise. It's...

    Ghibli Park

    They are basically the Japanese equivalent of Disney animated films. They are fairly beloved by animation fans and obviously people who are anime fans. But they transcend the anime genre in many people's view including my own. Definitely some beautiful films, my personal favorite being Castle in...

    Effects of Coronavirus (COVID-19) On Entertainment & Tourism Industry

    In my days as a Team Member, it was always strange to be one of the last ones leaving either from an event for us or standard closing. Jurassic Park in particular always felt more realistic in the dark :lol:

    Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

    I can easily see a Pooh's Honey Huny style attraction for Animal Crossing, if they were inclined to go that route.

    Effects of Coronavirus (COVID-19) On Entertainment & Tourism Industry

    Anyone seeing AMC stating they will no longer screen Universal pictures due to Universal's statement at doing more film releases simultaneously in theaters and premium at home rentals? Seemed like a big statement to me...
