I don't think Mary Poppins Returns is terrible garbage, but it looks like a highly derivative revival with zero artistic merit and that bothers me. Julie Andrews explicitly wanted nothing to do with the movie and that says something.

This is pretty dumb but I think everything having to do with Mary Poppins Returns sucks and it's a movie that shouldn't exist.

There were a handful of books, though I don't know if the movies follow the same plot. The movie was good, and cute, and definitely deserved to exist a lot more than many movies.

But that particular scene was crap and I think specifically chosen for a GMA audience because it seemed an awful lot like his Hamilton raps, which also seemed designed to appeal to the GMA crowd in the first place so it kind of makes sense. Still I would've showcased a scene from the Big Ben part.

at first i didnt like the idea of there being a huge fandom for the founding fathers as if tumblr was taken over by suburban white middle school teachers. but then that fandom introduced a feud between a "cannibal mermaid au" fanfic writer and someone who faked having aids

I got free tickets to hamilton and I saw it and it made me really uncomfortable as a black dude because I only saw like 4 other black people there and it had a really strange minstrel show-esque vibe. besides that it was sort of mediocre and I feel the stagecraft suffered as dancing played a large part in the performance which i was not a fan of so let's loving beat him up!!

well i read the reason andrews didn’t cameo was cause she wanted blunt to rock the house on her own. this paints a picture opposite of “explicitly wanted nothing to do with it” but maybe i’m real bad at reading and the subtext is she was like gently caress off

In a better world after Edge of Tomorrow and Fury Road Emily Blunt and Charlize Theron would go on to become Schwarzenegger and Stallone for a new era rather than staring in bottom rung disney nostalgia-grabs and diablo cody films.

Lin Manuel Miranda was cool as a weird manic Puerto Rican in House but I can't name a single other thing he did of note besides Hamilton. And Hamilton was garbage because it's nerdcore and nerdcore sucks balls.

Lin Manuel Miranda is basically acting like most people would if they were suddenly, bafflingly famous and hailed as a genius; but that said, it's been like 3 years now, he needs to settle down.

In 2016, one or more Hamilton fans began the hivliving tumblr to raise issues about living with HIV positive status.[1] It was recommended by many on Tumblr and Twitter as a good source of info on HIV+ issues.

Despite thinking someone needs to beat the man up, I also kind of respect him finding a way to get tasteless white people to pay $2k a seat to hear someone go "my name's Alex Hamilton and I'm here to say, I support a National Bank in everyway".

Since the role of Aaron Burr is typecast to be played by a strong male of African decent* in Hamilton this is really a self fulfilling prophecy.

I tried listening to the Hamilton soundtrack since my daughter liked it and I couldn't get through 30 seconds because it was so corny. This is what everyone was falling over themselves for in 2016? Truly baffling.

I will say Daveed Diggs deserved to get a movie/TV career out of the gig, so there's that.

It's just a musical. People go apeshit over some musical every decade. 80s has Cats. 90s Rent. 00s Spring Awakening. And now, what's my name man? Alexander Hamilton.
