Okay, I love that the proshot of Merrily We Roll Along enabled me to see the Groff-Mendez-Radcliffe cast performance, because holy cow, they are all so fucking good. They deserved those Tonys. And I honestly appreciate the use of *some* closeups, but that was too many closeups. But the choice to use a lot of closeups didn't make the performances or music any less great. I love me some Sondheim.
Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

Wake Up Dead Man is my favorite of the three, by a lot. Rian Johnson managed to ease back on the campiness, so that Craig was less Foghorn Leghorn, but also with the rest of the cast, and everything was dialed in perfectly.
