a collection of highlights and viewing notes from 'Now Museum, Now You Don't' because I don't have the time to liveblog while watching but I do have thoughts
I mean first off- that title! massive kudos to the Zoom audience for that one, well played (someone tell the Now You See Me creators that this is how you play off that pun!!!!!!)
Hen leading the opening musical number? we love to see it
the watch is a recurring symbollllllll!!!!! fr, everyone just stealing Dan's watch tho lmao (Dan, every time: you bastard! :D)
Dave not being American for once XD
Dan (Dave), to Tom (Niall): Go on, kiss my neck.
with all due respect, sir: wtf? XD I feel like I'm missing a reference here lol -> I love the fact that Oscar misses this moment, but at the very end, when Suzanne (Lauren) and Tom hug each other, he tells them to move apart -> conclusion: Oscar is furthering the gay agenda /jk XD
a scene that (almost) passes the Bechdel test! come through Lauren and Bryony! solidarity baby, we love to see it (in their defence, they had to keep the plot going and also: improv lol)
also, Bry getting confused and lowkey copying Lauren's Aussie accent
Bry: We're so lucky to have you from... Australia?
Bryony's karate scene featuring a clueless-until-the-last-moment Shields XD
oh! a boys-only musical number! led by Hen! go off then, lads lol
and forcing Dave to sing and rap! amazing! XD (to his credit, the man's got mad rhymes, but for some reason couldn't jump on the beat? lol)
enter Shields: a sinister old man named Colonel Sanders (shoutout to Lauren for that gem lmao)
also enter Shields: an oddly jovial, somewhat tame English prison guard who watches cat videos and then very calmly, while everyone's nice and quiet...
"Well. Time for the pornography." - Shields
Oscar very much losing the plot in this one (in most senses of the word XD)
from trying to contain Shields (see above lmao)
to his bizarre cameo ("I honestly thought I'd do better than that" - Oscar)
Harry absolutely roasting Oscar for his improv attempts as revenge for all the times Oscar dunked on him, only to have the tables turned all too quickly with "schlum" XD
"Do not try to seek revenge on a small bitter man when it is past his bedtime! I will make you say "schlum" for 15 minutes!!!" - Oscar
and of course, 'Now Museum, Now You Don't' as a finale? damn! as far as musical finales go, it's a goddamn banger y'all lol (legit had the whole house singing XD)
