...Ultimately I get why it didn’t last. It didn’t make MY generation that grew up with Spongebob love it and feel nostalgic and that was a big flaw.
The people who enjoyed it are all people who didn’t really care for Spongebob so they can appreciate it on its own merit. Which, great but I think when they turn off both Spongeb

Enjoying it so far! I appreciate that the camera work is pretty straightforward, not a lot of frenetic cuts and movement. The spotlight work is a little off, though.
This may have been answered earlier, but in regards to the ending of Part 1...

Does anyone know who those extra actors are? Are they actually members of the company or are they from a program? Very curious about this as it seems a lot of extra people to pay on a weekly basis.

And there are essentially 4 slots already sewn up in that category: Charlize Theron, Saoirse Ronan, Renee Zellweger, and Scarlett Johansson. Barring some shocking omission, that leaves one slot up for grabs and most pundits have Akwafina and Alfre Woodard battling over it, with a few opting for Lupita Nyong'o.

I won’t be able to articulate this as succinctly as I would like, but what’s interesting to me is obviously one can have religious views and not be homophobic but someone will have to prove that she was fired due to her religious beliefs separate of her homophobic remarks. And yet it seems she’s almost conflating them to be one and the same as if homophobia is part of her religious identity and she was then fired for that identity.

Darn, I miss seeing what the cast of Oberlan Valley High School’s production of The Little Mermaid, Jr. are doing during intermission.

God, I hated the Dolly TV spots.

For me, if you remove Meryl Streep from the equation, you’re not left with much to hang onto. Andy isn’t a particularly compelling character and much of the drama involving her boyfriend and friends is forced. Streep is what elevated the film to success (with some assist from Blunt and Tucci), so I’m having trouble picturing this property without her; what’s the point?

Pricing aside, the thing that I find most egregious is how they only gave you three of the most expensive options for those who waited in queue right at 8am and then roughly an hour later, opened up all of the available seats at various (and mostly lesser) prices. It’s almost as if they were punishing the early birds.
I managed to call and exchange my $279/each tickets to $159/each tickets after explaining the situation with the seating chart opening up. It took about 50 minutes on the phone/hold but I think it was worthwhile. 5 rows isn’t worth $120/ticket more.

When I saw The King and I, Kelli O’Hara was clearly very ill (she didn’t return for Act Two) and they cut “Shall I Tell You What I Think Of You.”
Speed said: "The phrase"Don't You Know What's Out There in the Woods" is the same musical phrase as the title phrase of "Giants in the Sky." "
The Witch sings that phrase to Rapunzel, who then is later killed by one of the aforementioned giants in the sky. A wonderful example of a leitmotif that subtly foreshadows the character’s upcoming tragedy.

I was a little encouraged after seeing the featurette but now having seen the trailer I have to wonder what was the point of building all of those sets and choreographing all those wonderful dancers if they were just going to paint over everything with CGI and make it look like a cartoon?
