merry crisis!
Anyway did u know for 5 bucks on gumroad u can get the LA Theatreworks 2001 live audio Recording of James Goldman's play The Lion in Winter w/ Alfred Molina as Henry II?
And if u have an account on hoopla, it's free!
Highly recommend if you've enjoyed the movie. The play has a lot more lines and fun details, and the style of this recording is a lot more quick paced, with the live audience giving it some humor and liveliness.

White Nights (1985). A Russian American ballet dancer's airplane is forced to land in USSR, where he's "repatriated". He stays with an American man married to a Russian. Will the American help him flee USSR?
This movie is ?? Insane ?? Yet it kinda works! I think a huge part of that goes towards its terrific cast and some really affecting sequences that merge the Cold War thriller elements with the post-Vietnam War trauma and, well, the power of dance. If that sounds wild, that's because overall it is, and its a testament to Taylor Hackford's skill as a director. Just a surprise from start to finish (complimentary). 7/10.

a friend asked why my url across platforms is always ohwhatagloomyshow & I explained that I had the honor of meeting Stephen Sondheim in 2013, where I built up the courage to thank him for his work and tell him the revival of Follies was the first show I’d ever seen on Broadway. He smiled and said kindly, “oh, what a gloomy show!” because I’m a 19 year old newborn baby praising a show about midlife crises.
Anyway, I told the friend it’s probably Sondheim’s gloomiest show, but that’s probably a debatable opinion! I would love to hear any arguments against it! I would say that of all his shows, it’s the one that ends with the least amount of hope. My definition of “gloomiest show” is most dependent on how you feel when you leave the theater, and in this case I do think Follies takes the cake, personally!
Full disclosure, the shows I’m least familiar with of Sondheim’s are Merrily & Passion.

Is there any movie or series of Robin Hood that depicts his death via treacherous abbess? I grew up on a book that had this ending but it seems pretty uncommon. I've loved the BBC series (as ridiculous as it is sometimes) but haven't seen much else besides the Kevin Costner movie.
The answer is yes, in the saddest way possible. The film is Robin and Marian, by the writer also responsible for The Lion in Winter. I think of it as the Vietnam War Robin Hood (though the Disney Robin Hood is also a Vietnam War movie.) It is sad and tender and sweet, depicting a world of violence, where all known codes are abandoned, but Robin and his men still roam their greenwood haunts, and seek to make justice outside of them, and Robin and Marian are as profoundly and passionately in love as they were twenty years before. And they're played by Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn, so... devastating. She greets him by throwing objects at him and he laughs and says "That's my girl!" I love them so much. Correct Robin Hood energy. Greenwood shenanigans. Singing. But there will be no laughing triumph at the end of this story.
