The "safety concerns for workers" may be news to the workers themselves, one of whom recently hopped up onto a high beam and did a comically stagey walk
BREAKING: Trump admin asks for a 12 hour delay in removing Trump's name from Kennedy Center, saying work got delayed due to thunderstorms.
Crowd (including Rep. Beatty) has been outside the center most of the evening.

Completely agree. It had a very stagey quality to it.

It has its detractors: it’s often derided as looking cheap or theatrical. Over-lit. Stagey. 25/

Films I watched in 2024, what will hopefully be a very long thread. 1) One Night in Miami. God this is a terrific film. A flawless example of how to adapt a stageplay, in that it doesn’t feel remotely stagey. [Criterion Collection BluRay]

She went for this stagey feel. I like stagey so that's fine but it was giving Mad Hatter's tea party at times and music video at others, while lifting elements from better films. But it's pretty with some nice shots.

Really hate that 'this movie has dialogue'
has become synonymous with
'it's stagey & thus a total failure of the art of cinema, which requires you to move the camera a lot & ideally be silent'

Overall I enjoyed the Odyssey
Pros: looked great,good cast, sirens were very effective, women felt real (well done Nolan)
Cons: US accents were a bit of a weird choice,everyone should have just used their own ala Death of Stalin. Also the dialogue felt kind of stilted? Like it was too stagey?

Star Trek seasons should be lengthened without additional budget until we get 3 extremely stagey bottle episodes per season

It might be tempting to characterize Miss You, Love You (2026) as a stagey melodrama, but with terrific performances by Andrew Rannells and Allison Janney at her spikiest, great comic touches, and an appearance by Bonnie Hunt, who doesn't mind a little stagey? Recommended.

Kinda feels like there should be a stagey BBC Dante's Inferno adaptation from the 60s with charmingly crap effects. Sad there's not.

Tonight @mzspress.bsky.social and I watched The Bad Seed (1956) on @svengoolieofficial.bsky.social. Great timing, building a new episode around a movie that asks, "Are some people just born evil?"? Stagey but well-done. It got 4 Oscar noms, 3 for the performances, which are strong across the board.

Quite a thrill to visit Walter Scott’s stagey showoff home at Abbotsford - gas lighting, suits of armour, plaster painted to look like ancient beams, books, books, books.

Yet I think that says more about the capabilities of those using it than the medium itself. Tenko looks a bit stagey, but it doesn’t look cheap. I don’t think Doctor Who’s The Caves of Androzani looks theatrical, because it’s expertly directed. 26/

Tonight I saw Blue Moon, an extremely stagey movie that inexplicably opts to have Lorenz Hart mispronounce his own name throughout while everyone else gets it right

The Infant Phenomenon 1912 adaptation of NICHOLAS NICKLEBY.
People tend to write off silent film acting as hammy but here we see three distinct styles in a single scene: the Infant's stagey performance, the affected glee of her troupe and the more natural reaction of Nicholas.

I think Shelly Winters was one of the first great modern every- woman leading actresses—neither stagey, affected, nor vampy, her performances looked natural and effortless, though I, sure they weren’t. #HeRanAllTheWay #NoirAlley #tcmparty
