"Marchion Ro makes his own history. But he does not make it as he pleases."

NEW from me on @clashingsabers.bsky.social: In the High Republic, Marchion Ro goes to war against the Republic, the Jedi...and his own past. But saying goodbye to all that is easier said than done.

The Past Is Past, Until It’s Not: Marchion Ro’s Struggle Against History in The High Republic

I spent a lot of The High Republic struggling with Marchion Ro and the Nihil. I didn’t find them very interesting. Their motivations felt one-dimensional. Marchion Ro came across as every college l…

White House staff should just make and show him an AI-generated video where he wins, fly him to Duluth and tell him it’s Oslo, and dare the New York Times to say anything more than “Experts disagree about whether Mr Trump was awarded the Nobel Prize”.

Samuel Beckett is *cackling* in his grave. 😈

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway
I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced —and not in a good way.
What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money.
Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight.
To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.

Something I've really come to appreciate the last few years —thanks to the many examples to the contrary — is that being extremely famous while also remaining a relatively well-adjusted person is a true-blue life skill
