I’m gonna yodel if AT LEAST one person doesn’t reblog this from me
I totally understand Tom’s frustration here. When the whole task ahead of you changes completely and you try to make up your mind about how to tackle it, but at the same moment people bombard you with questions about it, that you haven’t figured out for yourself yet. He needs just a moment to learn the scene. This is only a short glimpse in the whole process though. Right before we saw Tilda, Jim and Tom talk about/write the scene (apparently the night before) and right after this Jim works on this with Tom on set and they figure it out in what seems to be just a few minutes. How to work this scene and what will work on camera, which angles they need, and all such things. – This little outburst (if you even want to call it that) – totally relatable.
no offense but broadway and other forms of high theater should be more accessible and should at the very least be taped and released for easy home viewing when they close
people are going to pirate broadway shows regardless bc most people cant AFFORD to drop hundreds of dollars on tickets, and a working-class family in flyover country is probably not gonna have the chance to see a musical in broadway or chicago or california etc. very often!
but their parents could probably buy them a DVD for their birthday! so why should children (especially young actors) be deprived of art bc of their class or location? wouldnt allowing people who literally cannot access theater to buy or rent high-quality, official recordings benefit the arts better than forcing them to pirate it?
and so many of these shows close and are all but lost to the majority of the population! thats fucked up. just record them!!!! fuck!!!!!
there’s a section of the new york public library that has access to theaterical recordings…..but it’s only accessible to students and theater professionals who need it to study. cmon!! people should be allowed to view this stuff.
for a lot of people, getting to watch legally blonde the musical on mtv or listening to a recording – accessible, affordable forms of theater – made them dedicated lovers of the arts. they inspire actors and singers and animatics and composers. why deprive these people????
and people might say “well no one will buy tickets!!” which is absurd. i watch hockey games on television all the time and i still buy tickets to see it in-person because live is a whole different experience! and like…..you dont know theater people. they’ll gladly see the same show 50 times. lots of people see shows BECAUSE they already access it through stuff like bootlegs or albums already so whats the point! its not like they wouldnt make bank off of theater nerds buying recordings anyway!
anyway, high-end musicals should be recorded and released on dvd and streaming services and played on public television thank u
also recorded shows can have subtitles, descriptive audio, and translations for accessibility
People complain that nobody likes or appreciates theatre while they refuse to make theater accessible to the poor and disabled.
it is genuinely wild to me that opera theatres make their shows more accessible than broadway shows do when the public perception is the polar inverse of that dynamic
