Emotionally flailing from 2023 and then rewatching Asteroid City makes everything alright for a while.

One of my favourite things about Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is the little easter eggs. Like the familiar last names of students you realize are ancestors to some familiar characters!

Rewatching "Ballad"
It's interesting how Lucky Flickerman is kind of a sad joke in the books, always messing up magic tricks and failing to get his bird to talk.
I'm not sure if it's just the casting or the actual script adaptation but he seems more important and more interesting in the movie. It still goes to pains to have his cameraman laugh at him and show he fails to get his reservation. But I think the audience laughs with him more than at him.
I guess that's the whole point of the book though. That people will become more invested in someone who is entertaining, and Jason Schwartzman is an entertainer.

Every time I hear Jason Schwartzman say "We're live!" in the ads for A Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes I think of him

The songs from The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes sounds suspiciously like other famous songs.
The Ballad of Lucy Gray sounds SO MUCH like Street of Lorado by Marty Robbins.
Nothing You Can Take From Me is verry similar to You're The One That I Want from Grease.
