#aRE WHAT MOVIE MUSICALS ARE FOR!

anyways I've been relistening to mean girls the musical the past few weeks and one tiny thing I liked about the musical is how they established the similarities between Regina and Janis - particularly through similar habits ("those bITCHES!"), sharing Someone Gets Hurt, and through their friendship with Cady (though there are VAST differences there, I'd like to believe that both Janis and Regina were genuinely interested in being friends with Cady even if they had their own selfish and manipulative agendas with her).
However, I admit that I was rather disappointed that this point in the movie's Janis and Cady fight wasn't featured that much in the musical's counterpart: Janis saying, "At least me and Regina George KNOW we're mean." Though this was somewhat shown through Janis singing, "I hate Regina's guts, but here's what you can't comprehend: at least she has the guts to not pretend to be my friend!" (Which also in turn emphasizes the emotional impact had on Janis), it sadly did not show the point the movie tried to make: that both Janis and Regina are Mean Girls and that both KNOW it - unlike Cady who would like to believe that she herself is in the right.
#aNYWAYS ADDITIONAL CHARACTER EXPLORATION AND EXPANSION OF MUSICAL INTERPRETATIONS OF SOURCE MATERIAL#aRE WHAT MOVIE MUSICALS ARE FOR!#so if the movie musical could expound on the similarities first established in the og movie + hinted in the musical#that would be fetch#but anyways the case between janis and regina's similarities and differences are very um complicated#like i obviously side with janis on her revenge arc on regina what with the grave homophobic bullying she endured#but it is interesting how out of fucking nowhere regina's remarks towards janis are especially considering that they were friends before#but anyways it clear to see that regina being a dick made janis mean and her being mean and wanting revenge#led to her being um rather manipulative with cady so that she can 1. spy and 2. eventually have her revenge party#however id like to believe that janis and damian really wanted to be friends with cady just for the sake of being genuine friends#its just that um Mean Begets Mean in this case as it is with revenge-driven teenage girls#i dunno like its just Regina that i cant quite psychoanalyze and defend because like - shes a bitch and everyone knows it#and shes mile worse than janis thats for sure#but it cant be denied that janis did manipulate cady to a degree - in fact she kinda kickstarted the whole two-faced cady thing#so in that sense they are similar in being mean - janis just has a valid reason to be (tho it doesnt discount telling the new kid to spy)#but yea for me personally in order for the whole MEAN GIRLS theme to like come around and really be brought up - showing that Janis IS Mean#is quite needed#and also it is quite neat to show them as two sides of um similar coins i guess? i dont wanna say the same coin#because regina is just mean for the sake of it#BUT HER PSYCHOANALYSIS WILL COME ON ANOTHER DAY WOO AND THATS MY MEAN GIRLS RAMBLE#mean girls#mean girls the musical#janis sarkisian#janis ian#regina george#cady heron#also im gonna insert thsi here because this is a popular headcanon even among the regina musical actresses:#if the movie musical is insane enough to make the root of regina being mean to janis as her projecting onto janis#due to internalized homophobia#and to have that actually be discussed WELL??? i'd be very impressed. i dont think itll happen tho

It’s my creation, is it real?
It’s my creation, I do not know
No hesitation, no heart gold
Just flesh and blood, I do not know
I do not know!

I'm enough of an adult to admit it, CATS is a good musical

I know this is just a silly bad quality random screencap of a screencap that I found on facebook lol, BUT it's a succinct enough image to easily describe the concept in a quick/accessible way hopefully :
Tumblr media
-
(and of course, feel free to elaborate in tags, etc.! (especially elaborating about other senses as well.. can you "hear" in your mind just as well as you can "see"? taste? etc.) It's an interesting topic to me, as someone who's like a 4.5 at MOST lol. I'm curious what option will be the most common :0c )
#tumblr polls#hrmm... a little poll perhaps.. about a subject I find interesting.. since this image came across my facebook today#still really not feeling that well. no longer shaking violently and such but I still feel weird and weak much more than usual#They did say my markers for like infection or inflammation were elevated but that they werent sure of the cause so hopefully#it's nothing too serious. they did also say a lot of different things can cause that thing to be higher than normal but didn't go into spec#fics of what. maybe some of them are relatively benign or something. I still havent felt much back to normal since#I got really sick that one time though. I feel fine on and off but then little bouts of feeling weird and sick happen. hrmmm#ANYWAY.. looking for small ways to be productive. such as little doodles on evil ipad or editing game videos#or posting polls or cat pictures or some other like not very labor intensive things#I WISH I COULD FOCUS on writing HHRGGhh... I need to finish my game.. it would be so freeing.. a project that's been looming#over my head for like 5 years even though througouht that 5yrs I've probably spent a total of 3 months working on it lo.. ANYWAY#I still partially really cannot beleive that people CAN see stuff in their heads. There's always part of me that's thinking like. well mayb#e everyone DOES see the same exact thing but we just describe/conceptualize it so differently that we think we're talking about#different things when we're really not. But I have been assured by people I've talked to about it that they can GENUINELY really see#stuff in their heads like as vivid as an actual picture in real life or something. And the other senses are neat too. Like for exmaple I#can hear in my head much better than I can see imagery. I still CANNOT hear vividly like as if I were listening to actual music out loud..#but I think it's developed more than my sight. AND interesting how this varies the creative process. a friend I was talking to on the phone#said they write by literally just watching stuff play before them like a movie. where my process is COMPLETELY different. AND that affects#the content/what details we focus on as well as our individual styles of writing have differences that can be traced back to that.. hrmm

always a fun time when real life people are doomed by their own narratives. like guys you know it doesn’t have to be like this right? this isn’t a stageplay the foreshadowing isn’t real until you make it real

i think we as a society need to return to campy movies. i wanna see more "ghostbusters," more "repo! the genetic opera," more "rocky horror picture show." i wanna see more movies where you can see the effects, where it's all over the place and insane, where the music isn't something you'd find in an opera house, but you can tell that the people behind it put their whole chests, their blood, sweat, and tears into it. you don't need avatar level special effects to make a good project. you don't need marvel level complexity to make a good story. you don't need john williams making your soundtrack to have good music. we should be less afraid of movies being seen as "flawed" or "imperfect" because imo, that just makes them all the more fun and heartfelt.
