Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

There's a Beetlejuice musical? Theatres desperately trying to hook the young crowds by doing everything but making something original and good.

desperately trying to hook the young crowds

I hate to be the one to break it to you but Beetlejuice came out 35 years ago

[–] davi@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago

what are you talking about?! 35 years ago was 1975 /s

It's for older millennials but Im not really a fan of the trend of taking older movies and releasing them on Broadway (legally blonde, back to the future, mean girls, etc), at least they're willing to change a bunch of stuff for it. The Beetlejuice musical has some catchy songs but it's a totally different story so it's not completely bankrupt culturally yet I guess

Rocky. There's a Rocky fucking musical. How do they make that work?

[–] Abraxiel@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

Oh, that Rocky
