So yeah, well done to Ariana Grande for making me feel for Glinda.

Whereas the second movie, like the second act, is about how actually we need those Schumer the Good fakes more than radicals, should have endless pity for their personal struggles, and should issue any critique of them only in private and then they will finally condescend to fix things for us. Pass.

But for another reason entirely. Last year, watching Glinda’s arc felt like a reproof of do nothing Schumer democrats who want to be thought of as Good for nothing and failed to have political courage at the key moment given every advantage to make the right decision and jump onto that broom!!

…a storyline that we just kinda got recapped in the stage version so I’m not against all changes or all too-faithful scene repetitions - I mean, Jonathan Bailey and Cynthia Erivo are GENIUSES for making that “the other castle” scene work as well as it did - woof the original script)…

My only complaint is that it’s spell corrected is overenthusiastic and I can’t figure out how to get it to learn fantasy names. Otherwise I’m totally dependent on it and live in fear of it incorporating AI or going to a subscription model

It’s the red of my union!

Fabrics washed and no starch used…and apparently she just didn’t want to be photographed on it (or so my mom claimed - hopefully wasn’t just trying to make me feel better)
