Clearly, these are examples of needless antagonism, hostility and cynicism. (Def. 6 doesn't apply. I just included it for completion's sake). Don't be willfully obtuse. If SouthernCakes had said he hated New York or insulted it in any way, I can see how at least the first response would sound inn

Ah but those definitions cannot bear the weight of the argument you are seemingly attempting to make. At best you seem to be assuming the point to be proven. Give an example of a post exhibiting any of those things. What I see are posts suggesting either

Lord knows we have enough theater about gay men and AIDS. I think we can allow straight people to have this one. It doesn't bother me at all.

Dear Evan Hansen movie? Aug 23
2020, 11:34:01 AM
To each their own, but I thought Perks was a pretty bad movie that didn't translate from the epistolary novel well at all ("raw, intimate and honest" doesn't describe this movie at all). But the worst problem was that Logan Lerman was horribly miscast.

Jorge seems like a nice, sweet guy and I don't understand why the mean girls on here are so, well, mean to him. But it's nice to see him vindicated.

I think you're totally right about that. Especially with Stephen Chbosky directing. He's a good writer but not much of a director. But as you also said, the stage show already has that YA feel. I already kind of equate it with Love Simon in my mind. The movie is certainly not going to be artistically ambitious or risky (or interesting).

Thoughts on these:
1. I don't know who Randy Rainbow is. Don't care.
2. The Rihanna joke made me laugh and I'm probably going to hell for that. But it's not racist.
3. The rest of these jokes are not funny (with one exception. See below). I'm not sure why he posted that "Chinese in the fridge" joke a second time when it wasn't funny the first time.
4. There are racist jokes and there are "racist" jokes. Racist jokes are n

That is sad news. I wasn't quite as enamored of this show as others were but it was beloved by a lot of people that I know and along with Sleep No More it's the cornerstone of immersive theater, not just for New York but for the whole country.

Chita is literally Italian."
Her mother was partly of Italian descent. That has nothing to do with being able to believably play someone from Italy.

I agree with that. Every “liar” plot I dread the eventual reveal of the lie and the predictable way it plays out. That’s why it’s so gratifying on the rare occasion when it’s not revealed.

I’m not sure if you mean eligible for the Emmy or for the EGOT. If it’s the former, the award was “Best Musical Performance in a Daytime Prog
