Now do Stomp.

What about the holesome content then? Gone? Holed?

What is your review on Cats?

I don't doubt that at all, but I don't go to the movies for a part 1 of anything except a build-up like infinity war. If it was one film and people were raving about it, maybe. I'll catch it on digital prolly when both parts are out. Thanks for the reply.

I like your tropical posts.

Ahh thanks for explaining

As someone who has been barely following Wicked the film and largely unaware of Wicked the stage production, I appreciate the explanation and clarification, as well as a newfound enjoyment of the joke as originally transcribed. Also: they’re doing WHAT?!

This was the first post I've ever seen on this app.

Ohhhhh

only the best jokes have to be explained 13 hours later 🫡

If you have to explain the joke…

This has irritated me to no end since Avengers Infinity War. “Oh, damn, they’re fading away!? I wonder how they’ll resolve this before the credits roll!” Now we have a Spiderverse movie that will probably never get its sequel.

I haven't seen a solid joke go over so many people's heads in more than 40 years.

Clearly they're drastically overcorrecting for the miniscule intermission time at the broadway show, where I barely made it back to my seat in time, after standing in a long-ass line for one of the two restrooms available and taking the quickest piss of my life

I know 😭 When I heard this on some YouTube interview, I just resigned to the fact I'll watch both back-to-back in 2025.

😂😂😂😂

Will there be 2 movies or 3?

Said no woman ever. Until you've experienced the lines and the ladies room...

Hello mocking jay...... screaming get used to it ......they own us!?!? Jk. We'll be ok.

Agreed! But it was wonderful!!

I agree! But it was very good and tickets were not $500 a piece! Lol

Glad people are saying it’s good, I really liked the musical when I saw it

Women do. Check out the line at the women's room versus men's. Crazy.

I thought it was a snoozer until the flying monkeys showed up, but that’s true of most movies.

Yeah but did you see the line at the ladies’ room?

🤣👊🏾

Agreed.

That was such a bummer!

The line in the Women's restroom is gonna take two years to get through. We need like two or three bathrooms for each men's bathroom. I am not even joking.

Exactly!

And that’s how it ends. With “To be continued.” It’s Act 1 of the stage show. Ends right at what would be intermission.

Same! Same!!! I was like….is this a bathroom break? Do we stay? What is happening!!!

Sorry, I’m sure for some it’s amazing - not watching a 3 hour musical on a screen. If you love it, go for it, not my cup of Darjeeling…

I do. I drank a lot! (It was really good)

Probably. Maybe some day I’ll try them again…..

How can you not, indeed? 🤣🤣🤣

Fyi there's no actual break, the joke is that it only adapts the first half and the second is coming out next year

And yet, isn’t it nice to have the option?

waiting for it to be released for Viewmaster

Remember, women are almost always shortchanged when it comes to restrooms - hence the long lines. But, glad to hear it was really good 👍🏼

Well it has bragging rights then to it being a memorable occasion with a magnificent long intermission of great significance I still remember the 3 hour wait in line King Tut exhibit in 1977 in DC. during Carter’s Inauguration

I think it's because the queues for the bathrooms were so long. It got so bad that a lot of the male audience members had to share stalls.

Let me guess, you are a guy. How short is your bathroom line????

Tbh, it’s perfect. Rerelease part 1 4-2 weeks before Part 2 so people get the high once again and I also seen people suggest to double feature the film, though being in a theatre 4 hours+ may be draining lmao.

LoL so True also Terrifier 3 ended on a cliffhanger too so now there's two movies I have to wait to watch the ending LoL 😂

Wait, we finally got an intermission again during a long film and you're COMPLAINING?

Right?

Laughs in Lord of the Rings.

I want to see it once the Turkey Day insanity is over. I saw it on stage and I love the music. Happy Holidays.

All I know is that I refused to drink anything so I wouldn’t have to miss part of the movie running to the bathroom lol!

A whole year?????

Women do. #LongLinesLongWait

Excuse me you forgot snacks

MOOD!!

That’s why I’m not going to go see it now. I didn’t realize it is only part 1 to be followed by part 2 so when I learned that I decided I’ll watch it next year before part 2.

you're not standing in line for the women's room

Now I get what you mean haha

I do sometimes... I'm a very shy pooper

😅

I'm still lost looking for the bar. Love me a good glass of the bubbly stuff during intermezzo... Hope I make it back in time!

I'm old enough to remember a 3 year wait after the Empire Strikes Back. I was so mad because Han was frozen the whole time...lol.

Total DISNEY type democrat indoctrination.. give me a break, when will it all stop

I think paying 12 months rent during the intermission is such a good call back to Rent: The Musical: The Movie (2004). Giving me chills to experience this intermission

Hahahaa! Agree!

My husband said basically The same thing!

I can’t describe how underwhelmed I am to go watch this

I was disappointed to learn that this film is only half the story. The original book was .... one book. The original Broadway musical was..... one musical. These people want to gain as much coin as they possibly can by making one film into two. Pisses me off.

I agree!

The first film (which is the first act) is longer than the entire stage show. 🤷🏻‍♀️

That part

Lol

I wonder how old I’ll be by the time wicked 2 comes out.

No, but you need that long to eat another bucket of popcorn and down a giant Coke. That's what the intermission is really about.

And with my failing memory, they'll have to do an "in a previous episode' intro at the beginning of part 2.

I might.

That's cool, but how long was the line for the Ladies'room?

Your lady friends probably do need more time. Ever been inside a women's public bathroom? It might surprise you.

Yes you do.

I'll bet the women did.

Women do

I wish Gladiator II had an intermission!!!

I just pee in the seat like a normal person.

That 32oz rootbeer was a bad choice today.

Obviously, you’re not using the ladies restroom…

you could go twice, maybe

A one year bathroom break should be allowed by all employees

Agreed. However, I'll take one year's delay over an Unlimited one... ...That was funnier in my head.

Hey, sometimes the women's bathroom line takes that long so I definitely do😂

You do if you're using the ladies' room. We can't all line up against a wall and pee at the same time 😉

RIGHT?! I need to see part two NOW!! 🥺😢

(The joke here is that the movie is only the first act of the play. The movie of the second act will come out next year. So the intermission between the two acts is a year)

I see…

I haven't seen it but now comprendo. Thank you for explaining!

No. They ended the first film with the first act finale, “Defying Gravity.” So, it’s “intermission.” But intermission usually only lasts 15 minutes!

let's be real - it doesn't need to be two movies....

You are a male. So you probably did not have to wait in line to go to the bathroom. 😝

Right?!?! I left and was like... which theater for second part? I'm ready now.

Movie theater popcorn, man, that stuff is brutal.

Saw the play in Toronto, it was good, but i will do what i did for Lord of the Rings, i will wait till both parts are out and watch them back to back. I am not into this waiting a year in between a series.

I mean, I hate musicals and I secretly liked it (don't tell my wife).

I still need to go watch it !

I’d rather have had a 15 minutes during the movie.

It's easier for men to access the bathroom. Women need to queue, mostly takes a long time to actually get into the bathroom 😊

loved Ariana in it.

Could you imagine going to a Broadway play and at intermission you're told to come back in a year?

I understand this perception. Exercising the male prerogative is always faster, which is why the lines at the ladies tend to move a bit slower. 🕺💃 What isn't accounted for is the contractually agreed amount of time for the various concessions to ply their trade. Intermission =💰

You must stand up to pee……

Childless single nerd says what? 🤣🤣 Just messing

Wear that privilege with immense humility my friend.

They have been doing this a lot lately, like trying to fill time bc they can’t come up with anything unique.

You will when you hit your 60tys. Trust me I know

Lucky
