for pride month, musicals should be extra gay. i want to see raoul and the phantom as pathetic lesbians fighting over christine. regina and janis should make out sloppy-style at least twice. bring back lempicka and lizzie. put on the gelphiest actresses and let them go wild!

on the last chapter of We Have Always Lived in the Castle. Apparently there's a movie from 2018. And lmao, it has el Buki on it. Thinking of watching it.

Thinking once again about the very weird emotional reaction I had (am still having) re: Timothee Chalamet's performance in Dune Part 2. Because I came out of that theatre legit a little scared of that guy, which is not something I ever thought I'd be able to say -- he's very much not an intimidating person in most people's minds and if you'd told me what Part 2 was like before I knew anything about Dune I wouldn't have been able to believe it. But he's so good, and I think part of the reason he works so well in this new phase of Paul's character especially is because of that audience perception of him as an actor, because you go into it thinking "this shouldn't work" and then it does work, and that weird dissonance makes it work even more in a meta way. Paul as a character also isn't supposed to seem like he could be this crazy warrior cult leader, and then he is and people within the narrative believe it and it feels within the narrative like it isn't supposed to work, yet somehow does. The fact that it Feels Wrong is perfect because it's supposed to.

gladiator 2 was fun but it felt like denzel and the emperors were in a different, much more entertaining movie than the rest of the cast lol. like paul mescal i love you you are beautiful but you look like a nice irish boy and you are so much smaller than russell crowe. and denzel ate him up

New Live Performance Video! Woot, woot!

Greetings and salutations, everyone! Here is a recording of a cover I did of "I'd Rather Be Me" from Mean Girls: the Musical that I performed during a Miscast Recital a while back. Hope you guys enjoy it and that it brings some joy into your day. Woot, woot!

Today in chronic illness and time blindness robbing joy from life:

Just saw that I missed the digital broadcast of MCC Miscast. I don't know how I missed the emails. I was specifically *looking* for them.

As with previous broadcasts, I would have been happy to pay to watch it! It's one of the things I look forward to every year. I'm so sad. I wish it had been available longer.

Miscast 2015 - Laura Benanti and Christopher Fitzgerald perform Sixteen Going On Seventeen from the musical The Sound Of Music

loved Melissa Barrera in Scream despite her actively being on my shitlist post In the Heights and was planning on watching any sequels with her in it, I hope she gets work after this

[midnaurs]

I see ppl complaining about it on tiktok but i think issa rae's acting was a deliberate choice meant to highlight the difference between brandy and dorothy's time periods. Like dorothy was putting on a classic old hollywood performance both vocally and the way she held herself but brandy acted in the naturalistic casual way we see in films/shows nowadays. Its intended to feel out of place in a black and white film. It doesnt mean she was miscast

DEBILITATED PLANETS (THE MISFIT ACTORS)

For fun 😊,

When I started learning Astrology, a friend of mine asked "between planets and signs which is more important, which is more crucial than the other, which has more influence. That was years ago, and I didn't have the answer then, but now I do.

Take a deep breath, 🧖 Relax🍃🧘🍃 because I'm about to use your imagination for this post.

Imagine the planets as actors gliding effortlessly in their own unique talents and characteristics while inhabiting roles that fit them. The zodiac signs are the roles they're cast into, dictating how the actors peforms their part. The same actor(planet)will express itself differently depending on the role(sign)it inhibits.

ALIGNMENT

When these roles align with the actor imagine how easy and free flowing it is, the energy of the actor is either in max(exaltation) or in proportion(neutral), it's in balance!

DEBILITATION

But............. what if🤔 these planets are cast into roles that don't align with their natural strength and characteristics!?? They become debilitated, and debilitated planets are fascinating to study🧐.

They're the cosmic equivalents of asking Morgan Freeman to act as a teenage rebel, asking Arnold Schwarzenegger to act as an introverted peot, Kevin Hart in a serious silent role, Scarlett Johansson as a sweet naive girl.

While they can still deliver a performance their energy would be awkward and quite out of the natural and far from their element.

Going further, let's explore the cosmic theatre 🎭 and see how some of these miscast stars perform their roles.

🧂Mars in Aries: Charging forward as a knight in shining armor, fearless and ruthless, born to dominate with confidence and passion. The Aries role is as fiery as the actor(mars) itself - a perfect fit for mars natural energy. The actor is in his element!!📢⚡

🧂Mars in Cancer: Our warrior is now asked to be a protective nurturer and he doesn't perform so well. Attack is now defense. His agression is now emotionally driven focused on keeping loved ones guarded. He becomes quite sensitive in this role.

🤖 Mercury in Virgo: Mercury is in the role of the analytical thinker 🤔. He performs with precision and accuracy, focusing on detail and utilizing it for critical problem solving. The Virgo role is as analytical as the actor (mercury)itself- a perfect fit for mercury's natural energy. The actor is in his element⚡

🤖Mercury in Sagittarius: While in Sagittarius, mercury is forced to embrace the adventurous side of Sagittarius. This little actor is forced to be a big man now, focusing on bigger ideas at the expense of his finer details. He however becomes bold and expressive in this role at the expense of his critical nature.

🪵 Venus in Libra: Venus is in the role of the beautiful diplomat. She shines gracefully and effortlessly in harmony beauty and balance. She seeks after her loved ones by being charming and playing coy. The Libra role is as agreeable as the actress(Venus). A perfect fit for Venus's natural energy.

🪵 Venus in Aries: In Aries, she finds herself miscast in a role far from her natural energy. Gracefulness is exchanged for passion, diplomacy for impulsiveness. She now seeks after her loved ones by being direct and sometimes confrontational.

🕺Sun in Leo: Sun is in the role of Leo. He steps into his dream role as a king, leader and superstar. Basking in his natural energy of pride, drama and confidence. The sun in Leo performs this role with boldness and charisma.The Leo role is as shiny as the actor itself. A perfect fit for Sun's natural energy.

🕺Sun in Aquarius: In Aquarius, it has to adapt to a "weird" script. He is forced to shine in innovation, individuality,and collective ideas at the expense of his personal glory. Challenging norms and fighting for new ideas is now his motto

😶‍🌫️ This post is not to make you feel bad about any debilitated planet you have. It's just a fun explanation. Besides, exalted planets are not so much fun themselves. They do too much 🥲

Hazbin Hotel Spoilers!! My thoughts on the VAs, and where I go from here.

I'm only going to say a couple of things about the first episode. The voices are bad.

I think Charlie is the only consistently good one and Alastor does sound better with the voice filter on. I think Niffty is okay, I will always prefer the pilot VA. But...listen.

I don't want to be mean about Blake. I'm sure he's talented. But his delivery as Angel is really, really bad. I don't mean in a "bitch about the show haha" bad, I mean it is just painful to listen to. His delivery is not natural, the accent sounds so forced and the tone is grating. He sounds like he belongs in a cringe fandub, not an official production.

Vaggie sounds incredibly dead. I think Stephanie could really work in this role but it sounds like the voice direction is keeping her from emoting half the time. Her register is too low and too plain to give any kind of meaningful performance. She has done low register characters before and knocked it out of the park so that's why I believe this was a mistake on direction's part. She's talented, let her showcase it.

Husk, it doesn't fit. Keith David is talented as FUCK and his delivery is good! But this was a miscast. The original VA was great because he had that jaded old man sound to him, a disgruntled quality that accompanied his character.

Adam...god shut up. I don't know if it's the fact that his song is paced all weird and the dialogue doesn't flow, or that his dialogue is just GOD AWFUL but I can't listen to this man speak. He sounds like he's overacting on stage in every single line, there is no time to breathe between his sentences.

And my wife Katie Killjoy? It's just fucking Blitz. There is no humor in having her sound like this, and the performance has none of the flair as the original pilot VA. It sounds like when a cartoon gets an obvious celebrity who doesn't fit the show because they just wanted to get that person on for an episode.

So yeah. The songs were mid, the jokes weren't funny, and Angel saying "this body was meant to be exploited" was just...yeah.

I'm sorry to the entire pilot cast, I'm sorry you were all replaced when you ARE these characters. A character is their voice, and you all poured your hearts and souls into your performances to make Viv's creations come to life. I don't think she deserved any of you. This is a disappointment for animation at worst and a bad vanity project at best.

I will not be watching any more full episodes.

I need Jeremy Jordan to do a miscast or just regular performance of Falling Apart or Tell Me Ernest from Death Becomes Her as Madeline Ashton and Johnathan Groff as Helen Sharp

That’s it

That’s the post
