Movies

Edit: Sounds cool based on this review:

I liked the original too. I didn’t see an incel theme and I see a lot of subtle men’s rights subtext out there. Those first 3 guys he kills were misogynists harassing that woman on the train. They would be Musk style Maga today.

One reason for its failure could be that it was not advertised as a musical.

I am not a fan of musicals myself (with the exception of My Fair Lady). Had I not known that, that might have annoyed me in a theatre.

Musicals are not for everyone. I dislike it when the plot stops and everyone breaks into song and dance.

But since I will be watching it on streaming vid, I will fast fwd the songs if they drag on too much.

Edit: And it is good that someone gave the middle finger to that victimhood and violence bs. Now if only someone would also give the middle finger to the very self -consciously “stable, moderate, sensible” voices of reason who “unlike all those emotional fools operate purely on logic and facts” .

I am wary of excessive emotion, but I also find it funny when people clearly think they are logical and sensible with no awareness of the fact that their self-perceptions are on display as much as those of any “emotional fools”. None of us see ourselves as others see us.
