Rise up!

The Hamilton movie will be dropping July 3rd on Disney+, months before its original premiere date. This is great news for those who have the service, not so great news for those who don't, either by choice or because the service is not available where they are. It kinda sucks that it's Disney that's in charge of this because it should be accessible on other platforms. With that being said, considering that this was initially supposed to be a theatrical release, hopefully it means that it'll be getting a DVD/Bluray release in the near future because I need it so bad. And hopefully it does well enough that it'll boast the chances of other Broadway musicals to professionally film and distribute their performances so its accessible to everyone.

With that being said though, I have to admit, I'm kind of disappointed I won't be seeing this in an actual movie theater with other Hamilton fans because I was really looking forward to the inevitable sing-along that would happen.

But hey, we gotta adjust for that quarantine life. And if that means I get to watch and just unabashedly belting out the lyrics in my pajamas in the privacy of my own home, so be it! (Like I didn't already do that with the soundtrack anyway, lol.)

I've been hearing rumors that Disneyland may reopen soon, which is obviously a bad idea but, y'know, big corporations care more about money than they do the safety of people. But regardless, I do suspect that this is a move because they're worried about losing money despite already being filthy rich as it is. This is why I despise Disney wanting to own everything and anything it gets their hands on, and why I honestly didn't like them buying Hamilton in the first place.

Well, someone had to sell it to them first :| I just hope that the entire cast and crew got a cut of whatever it was because you know it was a lot.
