the chapo theory is that it was written in 2008ish, and just finally made into a movie now
I watched it Friday night with the family, again on Sunday by myself, and I’m ready to see it again. I also read this book again, which I (again) super strongly recommend:

It’s the story of how the musical came to be, but it’s also Miranda’s discussion of the lyrics. The full lyrics of every song are in here, annotated by Miranda - what he was thinking, what rap songs he was drawing on, and him pointing out certain intricacies in the rhymes that I clearly never would have picked up just listening to the show. The raps, especially Jefferson’s and Lafayette’s, are so fast that having the printed lyrics seems like a necessary cheat sheet to get the most out of the show.
Bring on the watch party!
Twitter is honouring Ennio in the only way it knows how, getting into an argument about something pointless.

I saw an interview with him and he fell in love with her after seeing her on TV (lol?) and proposed to her something crazy like about 15 times before she accepted.

Hateful Eight
Kill Bill 1
Kill Bill 2
Death Proof
haven’t watched reservoir dogs in a long time, it might be higher on a rewatch.
I read the screen play to True Romance like 20 years ago. Probably still on the internet somewhere.
I had listened to the soundtrack a ton before seeing the show live last fall. Helpless blew me away live. Had no idea.
The original broadway cast is amazing. Our Lafayette / Jefferson was the only cast member on that level. Some super young kid with all the talent in the world.

Only missing avatar and guardians of the galaxy for me, meh
You can make an account and keep track of how many films you’ve seen from various lists like the IMDB top 250.
I wish I had not seen all 50. Some of them were not so good.
Schindler’s List
The Green Mile
Finding Nemo
Shutter Island seems like weird one to pop up here. It was a forgettable movie that afaik had already been forgotten.
37/50
Missing:
14. Interstellar
15. Django Unchained
18. The Avengers
24. The Departed
25. The Prestige
32. Shutter Island
34. Guardians of the Galaxy
36. Back to the Future
39. Leon: The Professional
40. Pirates of the Caribbean 1
41. Goodfellas
48. Finding Nemo
49. Iron Man
Some of those are fine to miss, but some of them, you will only know you were missing a piece of yourself when you have filled it with those movies

It’s an easy rewatch, and it’s just clever enough for people to brag about liking. I’d say it’s Chris Nolan lite, except Dennis Lehane is a better writer than Nolan so idk how to rate that.
