    I think the book is garbage, the musical mediocre and Jon M. Chu's last movie "In the Heights" boiled ass, so me liking "Wicked" as much as I did is deeply and profoundly irritating to me

    Thinking once again about how frustrating the In The Heights movie is, in that it’s both a really well done version of a lot of the individual scenes from In The Heights but makes a lot of changes from the musical that take away a lot of the narrative impact of the whole. It’s maddening. Complicated

    This is what I appreciate about the In the Heights movie, that he did the rare inverse Dear Evan Hansen and let his age-appropriate, better-looking friend play the character he originated

    If you enjoyed ‘Dancing Through Life’ or ‘What is This Feeling’ in Wicked, please go check out ‘In the Heights’ (also directed by Jon M. Chu) It’s so criminally underrated as a musical in general and the movie is great too.

    #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched In the Heights is one of my comfort movies, makes me feel like dancing. Predator Badlands was a good sci-fi action movie.

    This bathroom is making some FASCINATING music choices. It has played Champagne from the In The Heights movie, an unfamiliar techno-pop 80s song, All I’ve Ever Wanted from Prince of Egypt, and now it is playing Jolene. I’m tempted to just stand here in the bathroom just to hear what they play next.

    I will admit the one criticism of Lin-Manuel Miranda I have is it was a little arrogant to self-cast himself as the lead in the Broadway productions of In The Heights and Hamilton; I think the roles he took in the film adaptation of the former or in Moana are much more appropriate

    Now that everyone loves the Wicked film, can we revisit In The Heights? John M. Chu directed both and he understands musicals on film in a visceral way and ITH unfairly got hidden away during the pandemic for it being a truly wonderful film.

    a big problem with recent movie musicals is that they keep picking directors who just don’t like musicals as a genre (notably Tom Hooper). for all its faults, the film of In The Heights was clearly made by people who LOVE musicals and for that i rank it above the rest.
