might have to dip my toes into the marmalade fandom because looking back the whole movie feels like a thrilling engaging act 1 to a whole 3 act series. I desperately want to follow Otis through the arc he could be having after that ending. I want those handful of shots with gears clearly turning to be the story, the possible implications of every hesitation. It feels like we stopped at the beginning of act 2, screw kung fu panda 4 or moana 2 i want a marmalade trilogy
that I cannot reconcile with current/most/ALL of his comics characterization but I hold onto nevertheless
—Bruce Wayne!! trains each of his Robins with the goal of them becoming better than him.
—Bruce Wayne!! intends for the Robins to be his actual failsafe if he ever went off the deep end. (Fuck that weirdo robot lol.)
—Bruce Wayne!! 1000% blames himself for Jason Todd’s death I don’t care what the comics have had him say or what his dumbass inner-narrative has said…*handwave handwave* all of that was just him desperately trying to cover the hole in his heart from failing his son so completely.
how it feels getting trapped in a sleep paralysis/false awakening loop for 40 minutes while trying to take a nap right before having to make a phone call
why do i keep seeing post talking about gojo revival? i understand we’re coping but are we sure there is a way for gojo to come back? like- don’t give me hope.
Monday Philm on a Tuesday. Okay fine, Charlie Wilson's War (2007), you win! Despite what I feel are some major miscasts and the most Aaron Sorkin-y script to ever exist and several thorny issues ranging from casual sexism to 9/11, I think I love this movie. Tom Hanks' dumb accent has worn me down to the point that it's almost a comfort watch. It's remarkably easy viewing, given the subject.
A couple quick hits:
Gus Avocados, my favorite apple importer <3
I just watched a BAFTA interview where Phil said the biggest challenge for him with this role was the hair and the brown contact lenses, which gave him an eye infection (anti-contacts gang rise)
When Mike Vickers says, "Well, I've written it all in a report you can read. You'd be the first one who did." As someone who has sent my thesis to multiple people (upon their request!) and never heard back from any of them, #felt
The window breaking scene obviously gets the most attention (and for good reason) but the tapped scotch bottle bit is hilarious
This week I found a few photos of Phil on set with the real Gust's family, including Gust's son and grandkids. So cute n sweet he spent some time with them. I knew Gust died before the film was made and Phil never met him but I didn't realize he died less than a year before they started shooting.
"I just told you, I paid a witch in Pennsylvania $80 to put a curse on Henry Cravely for me. Do I sound like a typical case officer?"
Just learned other CIA staff members gave Gust the nickname "Dr. Dirty" I don't wanna talk about it 🧎♀️
As a 90s kid I will always be comforted by Tom Hanks' screen presence even if he's playing a sleaze (and miscast at that)
Gary Goetzman, the inspiration for Gary Valentine in Licorice Pizza, was a producer on this film!
Gust is so so so soso sosos sosososoos hot he is always eating or drinking or smoking or chewing on something in this film it's driving me crazy❤️
i know the modern society has a habit of highlighting those who get a lot of done and have a lot of energy to do things and that it can feel overwhelming, and to be hard not to compare yourself to them.
but you are good enough even in the times when you're exhausted. you are allowed to take a break when you need one. you are good enough when you go at your own pace.
I'm having another one of those 'damn I make a lot of emphasis on how my characters are breathing and conveying emotions through inhaling and exhaling' moments-
