i bought a copy of the “original drafts” version of war and peace cuz i saw ppl talking about it so much and i only knew some vague facts about it. it’s really interesting and i’m enjoying it but i do find it funny that the publisher describes it as “tolstoy’s intended version” when so much of what’s left out is the most self indulgent philosophizing prose from tolstoy.
muppets war and peace where the only human is andrei
i will never stop thinking about the similarities between no one else and epilogue
and finally: dr lorrain
i’ve seen ppl criticize both kitty and natasha for being tolstoy’s overly stereotypical girl characters and while i hate tolstoy and think he was a misogynist, those girls are also just like me… so. maybe he was onto something there.
Since OMITB has enjoyed having famous guest stars on I want Josh Groban to guest star in Season 4 as an exaggerated version of himself living in the Arconia, who might have gotten a little TOO method in preparing for Sweeney Todd.
The ep. consists of Josh Groban helping the trio sort through suspects and melodramatically trying to tell the trio how a killer thinks (while also creeping them out cause he’s got way too much barber paraphernalia in his apartment). Midway through the episode Groban admits that he can’t crack the case…and then he brings in Annaleigh Ashford, who turns out to be just as melodramatic as Groban.
Groban and Ashford also guest star in the season finale watching the trio catch the suspect and making snarky comments about how the murderer could have done better.
the way the great comet is structured makes me think so much even though i know you’re meant to just accept that it’s different. im sorry i cannot do that. pierre says “i should visit, i hear she is more beautiful than ever” and all i can think about is how he saw her last week.
i miss you every day natasha, pierre & the great comet of 1812
