he was so he was so taken aback he was like oh

and he was like well can we do it together i was like no i i want my autonomy i was like i will be going for the first time solo and i was like then you can join after that because There are very few movies in which I am in a theater and I'm sitting there watching the credits roll and I'm like, if they restarted the film right now, I would continue to sit in my seat and watch it back immediately again.

I think the last time that happened, and it killed me because the second one just really disappointed me, was Wicked Part One.

That was the last time I could literally re-sit through this entire first film all over again.

There was a lot of Chicago theater nostalgia that I think was happening for me during the film because it's the type of content, it's the type of show, it's the type of intimacy of performances, content, the complete grayness and ickiness and beautifulness of humanity all rolled up into one with... discussions like in the dark that really need to come to light but we sort of just keep these in these tiny rooms and it just it gave me such Chicago storefront vibes that it made me really nostalgic of that type of intimate storytelling not to say that LA doesn't have that but I think like that's just it's such a bedrock of Chicago theater and Looking into the movie more, realizing, oh, this is however many iterations of film.

And it was a play at some point.

And the cinematography, I thought Olivia did a phenomenal job.

And again, I don't think that that is always done successfully, but I think it is done very successfully here.
