Listen IDK which of you rec'd this, but what in the actual heck were you on recing this dumpster fire of a film. My god was this bad. Mr. Chalamet I no longer have faith in you as an actor. And nobody told me this was a MUSICAL! With insane AUTO TUNE! I highly do not recommend Wonka.

this is so dumb. like sooo so dumb. like who cares. i'm aware. but like there was genuine potential to do something interesting here and it was just completely shirked in favor of the strangest nat geo special i have ever seen
i was thinking about this especially after watching "black is king"; both it & the gift (both super underappreciated by the by, go listen/watch if u haven't recently they have no business being this good attached to something as silly as a live action disney remake) essentially being concept albums and films based on the original lion king. like, imagine that but in like a full proper film context
like the whole reason why the musical version is still so loved all these years later is down to its creative interpretation. you're really telling me they couldn't just do that but in a new context, for a new generation? like can you IMAGINE the wardrobe? the choreography? letting chiwetel ejiofor actually do be prepared like a full musical number??? all of that, squandered!! like are we ALLERGIC to fun and creativity!?!??!
(maybe i'm just a bit bitter we didn't get beyoncé's rendition of shadowland liKE COME TF ON IT'S LITERALLY PERFECTLY IN HER RANGE)

Stresses me out so bad, tried watching it today, why does it look like some sort of dystopian hellscape punishment type thing. Also why is the hand freaky and simultaneously James Corden. I feel anxious just thinking about it.

Poet & songwriter best known as the frontman of “Silver Jews,“ and the lesser known “Purple Mountains,“ Berman has a way of exploring the beauty in the darker aspects of life. Berman tragically took his in 2019. He had such a special way with words both as a poet and a songwriter. My favorite song of his, “Famous Eyes” is linked above.

Founded in 1995, Broadcast was an English band that drew influences from 60s psychedelia, electronic, and experimental music. Following the death of their lead singer in 2011, Broadcast has found a new life and a cult following due to the mystery surrounding the band. I’ve linked my favorite album, Tender Buttons above.

Due to the involvement of the US Military Sponsoring SXSW, many bands and artists have opted to pull out of SXSW as protest for the ongoing genocide and Ethnic Cleansing in Palestine. I’m very proud of my friends from Perfectly Imperfect and Baby’s All Right for dropping out of SXSW, and for standing in solidarity with the people of Palestine. Free Palestine 🍉
