It's actually really hosed up to see how directly this happens. There are some channels I watch frequently, but am not subscribed to that I actively have to search out every week, because they release videos every week, that you'd think youtube would recommend to me because I like them, watch them and frequently even re-watch them. But no, literally none of their videos ever show up in my recommended lists. But then I made the mistake of watching one video about a new terraria update and half my recommended list is nothing but garbage terraria videos, so who's to say what the conspiracy actually is.

Yeah super rich people don't hire classy butlers anymore. They spend that money buying a bad website and making it worse instead of a fleet of respectable, dignified servants.

The 7th Guest posted:i'd be interested in youtubers that talk about animation that aren't unhinged lily orchard types. youtube only ever recommends saberspark to me however, who has no real jokes in his videos and is just angry all the time, and his channel produces amazingly bad thumbnails CellSpex's stuff is pretty good. She's mostly settled at reviews of animated feature films, but will occasionally cover series (and live action, from time to time). Unlike Saberspark she actually has worthwhile stuff to say about the movies she reviews / commentates besides "now I don't know much about (whatever the movie is about), but this was SO COOL/LAME/WEIRD!!!". I particularly like her yearly roundups because she usually includesa few indie, international or arthouse films that flew entirely under the radar otherwise. I liked Breadsword's videos too but the channel seems to have gone on indefinite hiatus. For anime-specific coverage there's a broader selection of quality youtubers, but hazel and Beyond Ghibli are a good place to start imo

Sydin posted:https://twitter.com/JennyENicholson/status/1661388513831690240 It's the sort of mess everyone could see from miles away as soon as it was advertised, again when the prices were released, again when people saw the ridiculous schedule you had to commit to for the 2-day experience, etc. I have to wonder exactly how bad it was losing money if it barely lasted a year. They poured so much into creating it, the app, designing all the bespoke set pieces and costumes, hiring all the hotel staff, etc.

An especially and unexpectedly dark Nick Knacks about a Cable in the Classroom series I’ve never heard of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHKiGEHb-GE The stuff about the nasa memorial being a way for people to skim money by exploiting public trust in nasa upsets me. Also the government’s demand to nasa that they raise the money for a memorial on their own.

Hey thread, I thought I'd share with you guys one of my favorite channels that talks about one of my favorite topics:  Broadway MusicalsWait In The Wings does cool video essays on Broadway shows and I wanted to share some of his best vids. Even if you're not in to musicals I hope you'll check him out the next time you're looking for something new to watch. Please enjoy my effort post! Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark-Broadway's most expensive and dangerous spectacle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6bxB9vTToQ Spider hyphen man musical written by U2 and Julie Taymor, the lady who is responsible for Lion King the Musical. Most expensive broadway show to date. A bunch of people got hurt!! Speaking of needlessly dangerous shows; Andrew Lloyd Webber's Crazy Train Musical, Starlight Express https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTXtLNsrvlI If you thought Cats was the weirdest thing ALW ever made, well friends, strap in. Starlight Express is basically Cats but replace the cats with trains. More people got hurt! It's still running in Germany! The Broadway Show That Closed In Three Days: The History of Carrie The Musical https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTaAzFl_GYk Still considered the shortest running show ever. It was bad. (but then had a pretty well-received Off-Broadway revival back in the 2010's  )The Hectic History of Beetlejuice the Musical https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Dmcq-HuBJg Beetlejuice the Musical is Great! No irony! Check out the cast album if you get the chance, it's a lot of fun Broadway's Biggest Mystery https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roIueOG7_N4 A bunch of investors try to commit a bunch of fraud. Like the Producers but not funny and not directed by Mel Brooks Speaking of Mel Brooks How Mel Brooks broke Broadway...Twice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3KOqrHYh2U Shorter video on Mel Brooks musical adaptations How Andrew Lloyd Webber lost a fortune in 15 minutes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEmMV84BgF8 Another short video detailing how ALW was sued (rightfully!) by Patti LuPone. The Rise and Fall of the Phantom Chandelier https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQM2F7RhX6I A brief history of the Phantom of the Opera chandelier 10 Broadway Set pieces that went WAY TO HARD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnayRjTWDbo If you thought the Phantom chandelier was a lot, just....just wait. And finally; Hadestown: A History of Defiance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcPliuSlyb8 I'm super biased, this is my favorite show running right now. Lindsey Ellis is also a huge fan and has name dropped it a couple times, most notably in her Titanic video. Hilariously, the actors who played Spider-Man and Green Goblin in the above Spider-Man musical are in this as well. It's currently on another nation tour so if any of this piques your interest I highly recommend it, or check out the cast album! It's Greek Myth set to Depression-era jazz soundtrack

It's just not very good and it just seems tailor made to be something that Webber thought would appeal to the younger crowd, which just goes to show that Webber is definitely no longer creating trends but actively chasing them. I don't know, maybe if &Juliet hadn't also been running this season, which seems to be doing what Bad Cinderella was trying to do but better and actually having an active conversation with its source material. Musicalspaining's newest ep goes in to it a lot better than I could have. Nothing about this show actually needed to be about Cinderella and could have been better if it had been any other fairy tale. But even then, Into the Woods came out in the 80's  Everything about this show just made me go, "but why??"https://twitter.com/musicalsplainin/status/1661009083737202689?s=20 Also, Webber is a huge loving Tory so that probably explains most of it edit: The above video is really, really good and goes pretty in-depth in to Bad Cinderella but if you want a good TL;DR on why people are so pissed at Webber for this show please watch the section titled "The Time Everyone Lost Their Jobs" starting at 1:07:14. It's a loving doozy Happy Landfill fucked around with this message at 23:22 on May 25, 2023 |

A huge amount of the praise probably came from it being one of the first shows (the first show?) to open after the pandemic. It got destroyed in reviews once it came to Broadway.

But even then... not to poo poo all over David Zippel, but I feel like Webber has worked with better lyricists? And I'm sorry, nothing can convince me that Webber wouldn't have the biggest shitfit if someone sampled one of his most famous melodies the way he sampled from R&H's Cinderella

Webber flew at short notice from New York to London to cast a vote in the house of lords to cut tax credits, a move that would have meant that low earners and many disabled people wold have been ducked. The man is a huge rear end in a top hat.

Yeah, Lord Andy sucks. It is, however, interesting to see his growing irrelevance to the theater scene as a whole. He had his hits but the dude's 70 now he does not, in fact, know what is hip with the kids these days. There's so much in Bad Cinderella that just feels like he's chasing TikTok trends because that's what other shows are doing, not because he understands why those things work. Which sucks. I liked his take on School Of Rock.

I was always surprised when I thought about how young Quinton is, because he has the affect of a 35-year-old, but he must belong to a culture very different from anything I understand to make these nine-hour summaries of old shows that young people seem to really enjoy and want to pay for on patreon.

He looks and acts so old and it weirds me out. I get people probably have nostalgia for these shows, they were past my time but I can sorta get the appeal. I did hate Drake and Josh because of the sister who was just the worst. But i did grow up and love all that and Amanda show so I wasn’t immune to the power of the Schneider. It’s just…They’re still shows about little kids and if you’re not gonna say much aboht then it’s just odd to make them.
