The weird year that is 20201 (typo on purpose, as 2020 and 2021 are the same year, it's just science) keeps on weirding on with Steven Spielberg's West Side Story -- or that is to say more accurately, my love for Steven Spielberg's West Side Story. Another musical got me! What's happening anymore??? I reviewed WSS for Pajiba today -- read it here -- and it's nothing but heart-eyeball-emojis shooting off my fingers. What a world. I guess I should just go buy myself some white gloves and a bowler hat and start harassing pigeons in the park with my sassy jazz moves -- I am just that guy now.

Your love for this film (which i have not yet seen) has both deeply unsettled me and given me hope for the future of the world. Signed, a musical theater writer.
All those dangling prepositions. Fun review.
I'm gonna see it on the 18th. Ugh, my love for Speilberg meets my hatred of musicals. It's gonna be a battle in my brain.
This movie was gorgeous and sumptuous and delicious! Notes to Hollywood: please stop trying to make Ansel Elgort a thing. Please give DeBose, Faist and Alvarez all the work now!
