I just watched Chicago (2002) for the first time and I need to talk to somebody about the costuming and choreography of "We Both Reached for the Gun" because I'm going insane
Her fucking eyelids are accurate. Her EYELIDS. Do you know how fucking hard it is to make a puppet move in a way that actually looks natural? Cause a good ventriloquist does! Do you know how hard it is to mimic the movements of a well-puppeted puppet? No! Because NO ONE FUCKING DOES THAT??? HOLY FUCKING SHIT HER FUCKING EYELIDS FALL AND FLUTTER OPEN WITH THE CORRECT WEIGHT AT THE CORRECT TIME FOR A VENTRILOQUIST DUMMY MOVING IN EXACTLY THAT WAY HOLY FUCKING SHIT BALLS DUDE I'M LOSING MY MIIIIND
