Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman but it's right after Jason's death and Dick and Tim watch Bruce stick to his rigid moralistic principles while occasionally talking to Robin!Jason like he's still alive until Bruce throws himself off a building and dies.

"Why am I trying to become what I don't want to be...when all I want is out there, waiting for me the minute I say I know who I am."

Andrew Garfield spoke about working with PSH on Death of a Salesman in a new interview with Rolling Stone this week:

Q: You know how people become better tennis players by playing tennis with better players? Was that what it was like acting against Philip Seymour Hoffman every night on that stage?

Yes! I mean, I felt it with him, with Linda [Emond], with the whole cast, really. But, yeah, the time I spent with Phil holds a very special place in my heart. He’s still one of my favorite actors of all time. It was like he’s just a kind of divining rod for the truth, you know? And like he’s not looking for the bells and whistles, the fancy accoutrements with a piece like Salesman. He’s drilling for the core of who this man is. And just the presence that he had onstage, and the presence that he had with his fellow actors, and the kind of the passion and the longing and the hurt and the heartbreak—it was gorgeous to watch.

On nights where I felt like I was off or maybe I didn’t feel like I was bringing as much to the table, he would always say to me, “Hey, you were great tonight.” Whether that was a move or whether that was him going, you know, “Simpler is better,” I’m not sure. Either way, it was such a great compliment to get from him!

NEHA THE NOVELTY DICEMAKER

"You want to buy dice from her because she is one of the few people in Disco Elysium who is immediately kind and talkative with you. She also has interesting things to say, and overall provides a safe and comforting space in her workshop away from the bleakness of the rest of the game."

WILLY LOMAN

Re-Examining Spider-Man 11: Class Relations

"Will Success Spoil #SpiderMan?" Re-Ex-SM is Back on Thanksgiving 2024! Looking at the #JohnRomitaSr era and how it connects to the superhero class struggle for love and better housing. Is Peter Parker a gold digger? The answer might surprise you!

THIS POST IS DEDICATED TO STEVEN ATTEWELL, IN HOMAGE TO HIS SERIES: A PEOPLE’S HISTORY OF THE MARVEL UNIVERSE For as much as Spider-Man is described being a working-class superhero, class is rarely analyzed in these stories. On account of the demands of the genre, the mainstream superhero action-adventure, Peter Parker rarely expresses ‘class consciousness’ in any direct sense. The nature of the…

What do you think Tom thinks of the play/film Death of a Salesman? It came out around the time he was working at Borgin and Burkes.

You know, I'm not sure he'd quite "get it". The thing about Death of a Salesman is it's incredibly American. I don't know how much a non-American, particularly someone from Wizarding Britain which can be very different culturally, would get out of it.

It's also about someone in a very different stage of life than Tom is (especially at the time). It's not just about our main character but also/especially his relationships with his sons and how we can see one of the sons (the one we might not expect) becoming his father because of how his father he treated him.

I see Tom thinking it's a decent play but I mostly see him responding "lol" to it in that it's about this poor man who works all his life like a dog, tries to sound impressive to his sons who he hopes will surpass him, ends up backed into a corner and killing himself, and then no one cares when he's dead and his wife has to demand people give a shit.

It's just one of those things he wouldn't really connect to and certainly feels isn't related to the life he himself leads even when he's working at Borgin and Burke's.

"And this is why you shouldn't try to live an ordinary and decent life" is what Tom would walk away with.
