God bless Andrew Garfield and the gay man that is trapped inside of him.

You are fabulous creatures, each and every one.

how the fuck does something like this get made? something as dense and starkly creative as this? there's really no way to describe this. watch it for andrew garfield and nathan lane, stay for everything else.

god damn those monologues hit hard. every single one. there are some dips in interest as it goes along, but it's so evenly spaced that it remains engaging through all 7 or so hours of this. dear god i'd have loved to see this live (granted i was mentally prepared to sit still and think about it)

"i want more life." - andrew garfield, as prior walter, who also so "fuck you i'm a prophet!" an hour before that.
