#the crucible

I saw Goody Proctor in Spider-Man: No Way Home

The crucible was amazing!!! I haven’t posted much since I got here because I’ve been so busy but holy diddly doodle I could barely breathe at the end. Saoirse was amazing but Ben Whishaw was just incredible. He was so in character that I couldn’t even picture him as himself anymore. At stage door I was chatting with Tina Benko who plays Ann Putnam and when I made a comment about the amazing force of the production after so many nights she just looked at me and said “Ben Whishaw is a powerhouse, he is amazing”.
The production was quite an eerie or even scary take on the play, using lighting, music, and this weird blackboard to force you to notice what is going on. It was also slightly modernised with modern costumes and set, which I think made it feel more real.

And here we are with another season where Bungie continues to isolate its solo player community. I’ve won 2 games of crucible tonight. Most of my losses were to mercy rules and 75% of those mercy rules came from fully stacked teams fighting a team of solo players or smaller teams. Matches feel more one-sided than ever, from either one side or the other. It’s actually finally squashed my last little smidge of desire to play Crucible and I’m honestly just done with it. Quickplay feels constantly sweaty and I honestly can’t stand it anymore.

Bungie needs to have a freelance playlist constantly accessible and fix their atrocious matchmaking or the massive solo player population will completely separate itself from the Crucible and the player base will continue to bitch and moan about how sweaty Crucible is. It’s not friendly anymore and it’s driving people out.

Hostility will be blocked.

Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, screenwriter, novelist, and essayist Arthur Miller, best known for plays such as The CrucibleandDeath of a Salesman and films such as The Misfits, had a writing career that spanned seven decades and left a lasting impression on American theater and public consciousness. This amazing dramatist was Jewish, and here’s how we know:

-Arthur Miller was born to a family of Austrian Jewish descent in New York, New York. [x]

-Prior to his marriage to Marilyn Monroe, the Hollywood star reportedly converted to Judaism to establish a deeper connection to Arthur and his parents. The pair had a Jewish wedding ceremony after having a civil ceremony. [x]

-Many of Arthur Miller’s literary works deal with Jewish themes, and some of these works, including Broken Glass, do so explicitly. The name of this work is a reference to Kristallnacht (the Night of Broken Glass), a major event often cited as the beginning of the Holocaust in full force. Thousands of synagogues, Jewish businesses, homes, and schools were burned or ransacked, and hundreds of Jews were killed and thousands more were transported to concentration camps. [x]
