havent seen wednesday & never going to but my god the costume & makeup department did catherine zeta jones so dirty as morticia
#rewatching the 90's movies & its astounding how bad she looks in that show by comparison. like maybe shes better in motion but. man.#that dress is so fucking bad she looks like your neighbor in a halloween costume. where is her air of superiority. her mystique. dark aura?#theres no suave charms. no debaucherous debutante. she doesn't look like she embraces the dark arts at all. fake ass goth -_-

Wtf is Anatomy of a Fall doing here. The Oscars are so focking condescending to foreign movies lately.
The 2023 Oscar nominations were announced today, so I'm curious...
#It won the palme d'or#Like parasite did#Like we know it's a great movie already we don't need the goddamn americans to confirm#Honestly I am so mad about it it's so insulting lmao#American awards where 100% of the nominations are americans : normal and their right#American awards were 90% of nominations are americans : sending the message that americans movies are OBVIOUSLY superior#But sometimes a lil foreign movie is as good as an american one :)

watching fantasy/sci-fi shows from the 80's and 90's is so healing for your brain actually..........
i see people trying to hype them up too by showing off really impressive practical effects for the time, and sure, that's nice. but I unironically love seeing very obvious foam boulders bounce off people, and wooden swords clash, and bright flashes of light from "laser guns"... and it is so much better than 90% of shit today, and you know why?
key fucking difference: they inhabit it. everyone on screen is putting their entire soul into it. and I think people forget that tv is at its very essence theater, you tune in and suspend your disbelief, and you are always aware you are watching a story. if you go to a play and see someone stabbed with a very obvious fake knife, it doesn't fucking matter, does it?
because everyone's forgot that you're not there to see how good of a real-looking fake knife somebody can make, you're there to see people who can make you believe in the emotional truth of a story.
xena warrior princess is superior to every single marvel movie that has ever been made for the key fact that i can watch two actors struggling in "quicksand" which is very obviously just dirt that they were buried in up to their chests, but they are SCREAMING, wailing, crying: they are selling it and I am there for them ---
no marvel movie will ever achieve emotional truth as long as their direction goes: "Alright. So you're trapped in [redacted] next to [redacted], and you feel very [redacted]. And, action!"
#xena#fuck marvel#i have so many thoughts about this#talk to me people tell me about your favorite old shows and why

I shouldn't have made this post. It's back in black & white. 😔
I complained earlier this morning in the tags about how my Nintendo Wii is inexplicably being displayed in black & white when I play it (it's not inexplicable - it's called salty air)
Anyway I just turned it on and guess who's suddenly displaying in crisp full color!! 👁️👄👁️
I didn't even touch the cables or anything. istg the best way to fix electronics is to simply complain about it to someone out loud.
Brat.
#How do I shame my Nintendo Wii into playing in color again - but not fuel its need to reverse uno card me#Fuck ai the real intelligence is misbehaving electronics#Y'know years ago I had a dvd player (cord that connected to the tv) that did this too#The most famous incident is when we rented the movie Cast Away#The movie played in color like normal - until the plane crashed and then it was in black & white#And it stayed that way until the scene where Tom Hank's character makes fire - AND THEN IT WAS IN COLOR AGAIN!!#AND WE WERE ALL LIKE 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯!!!#Like this was some Wizard of Oz shit! Such Artistry!! So amazing how the color returned with the flames - really hammered in the emotions!!#And then later I see a trailer on tv for the movie and I'm like. Huh. Because it has scenes from the early island part but they're in color#But we still have the rented dvd so I play it on my laptop and. Wouldn't you fucking know it. THE ENTIRE MOVIE IS IN COLOR#FUCKING COLOR!!#Anyway I still think Cast Away in partially black&white is the superior version#But also#Having electronics by the sea fucking sucks#Although this was mostly an issue with older electronics. Stuff made in the 90s and 2000#s. Haven't really had an issue with the 2015+ made-stuff. At least not in cable-corroded ways.#Hhhh#My posts#Technology

it's the year 2037 and a new month is ahead of you!! Time to spend 90% of ur paycheck today for all the subscription services that are pretty much necessary now (Your bank takes "payment fee" out of everything bill u pay, so u gotta pay some bucks extra for each) !! Your grocery store has a membership card that u have to pay for, if you want to even get inside. No way to get any movies/tv-shows/music without streaming services. The appliances in ur home are subscription-based usage fee (under the guise of "well, the software updates, u gotta pay and also have no option to opt out"), and most of the things you own, you basically just rent & never have the chance of ever paying enough to actually own them. You missed a payment and ur smart-fridge stopped working. You're trying to find a not-smart, non-AI fridge, but those are super expensive, and only for the rich who claim moral superiority over regular ppl bc "they don't use any of that brain-rotting AI-technology". You're trying to choose whether to use your coffee machine or your microwave for the month bc you can't afford to pay for both of those subscription fees this month. You've already used your monthly picture limit in your phone, and would have to update your subscription package for a more expensive one, if you wanted to take more

I wanna make early 90s James my bitch. Like he’s tough and arrogant but for me? He’s the sweetest, most caring man. Something about manly men being soft af for you gets me weak on my knees.
Anon you're right, making that big man all soft for me is one of the things I want most in this world.
James is an imposing, tall, huge man, isn't he? And in the 90s he was fucking arrogant looking down on everyone with superiority... But when he comes home to you he becomes a docile puppy, looking to be petted and cuddled by his girl.
If you two are watching a movie he MUST have his head in your lap so you can play with his hair which would set him purring.
At bedtime he enjoys being the little spoon although he won't tell anyone that, it's kind of funny for you to be the big spoon because you're practically wrapped around him and yet you can't cover his whole body.
He follows you around the house like a baby duckling when you are doing anything like cooking, cleaning, reading; no matter what you are doing he will be there watching you with all the love in the world; then he will get tired of not getting attention and start bothering you until you only have eyes for him.
In bed it's no different, yes, he may take control when you are going to fuck most of the time but when he is in needy mode you will be the one taking the reins. You would push him onto the bed and climb on top of him to kiss the expanse of his body, from his lips to his thighs because you know how shaky he gets when you nibble on his sensitive skin there, after foreplay you would ride him so hard he forgets how to talk, he would lie there on the bed watching you reverently as you take him and make him lose his mind.
In the end, when you both cum he would be in your embrace for a little aftercare.
"You took it so well my love, what a good boy standing still while I rode you" You'd murmur against his hair all this praise as he hums contentedly, hiding his head in your neck to sigh happily.
I also want to make that man my bitch
#let's make early 90s james a needy bitch#imagine having him in the palm of our hand#maybe make him beg for attention#jaymz#early 90s james#james hetfield#james my beloved#james hetfield smut#james hetfield x reader#soft james

Surfs up, love that movie. What do you think?
The superior penguin movie, despite likely being conceived as a way to cash in on the various other penguin based media that was coming in the mid 2000s. It being a mockumentary+ parody of surfing movies gives it more charm then a lot of these movies about x animal having y skill
I have a crack theory regarding the name of Cody’s hometown. In the 90s the proto version of what would become the Madagascar penguins was an idea for a movie about a parody of the beetles but as penguins. I’m curious if the Surf’s Up town of “Shiverpool” was something brainstormed form the old Dreamworks project ages ago that ended up being remembered fans used by someone who eventually went to Sony.
It also has this scene.
youtube
The sequel they made years later about wrestling was just bad.

music preference (Tokyo Debunker)
included characters: all of em
rating: SFW
warnings: as written by someone who only listens to fall out boy. this is just hc of course and not purely canonical! If anything is wrong, sorry!!
I'm also working on a Taiga fic okay I promise!!!
Jin
Canonically classical piano music. Might have a few operatic songs. Really not varied and considers most modern music to be senseless noise. Puts up with whatever you want to listen to as long as he doesn't hate it too much, and maybe you can broaden his preferences…maybe. Slowly.
Tohma
He can handle and appreciate classical but it's not his favorite. He does like more industrial, rap, and hip hop type songs, the exact type that Jin would call senseless noise. He's doing his little paperwork in his little monocle and he's listening to Tupac.
Kaito
Varied!!! I don't think he gives himself enough credit for the variety of music he listens to and enjoys. Knows and likes popular and viral music, but also if you're like hey this song from 2003? This song from 1987? His song from 1954? He probably knows it. He doesn't love all of them and he pretends to only Like the “acceptable” genres and new things, but I think you could play smth old af and he'd be like oh yeah my gran loved this- and he would know it.
Lucas
Guy who admits to not knowing much music. Only the absolute most popular songs he knows, and even then, it's like the catchiest bit or the chorus like babe is NOT listening to music that often. Might have like An Album that he knows well and enjoys but like it would be very limited. Share things with him! He's open minded enough to learn more.
Alan
Another “I don't listen to much music” guy but I think he knows like dad rock from the 2000’s. I don't think he necessarily loves it, he just recognizes it and if he wants to listen to music for some reason, well, Three Days Grace is there and he knows how to type that into yourtube (maybe. Maybe he has to ask Leo for help. Maybe Leo pulls up something completely different. Probably.)
Leo
A pop music enjoyer. Brat summer Twink. Olivia Rodrigo fan. Also likes dance and club music and has a preference based on country of origin. Does NOT like Vocaloid or Nightcore or probably even trance and house music of the 2000’s. He's like ew that old person music?? What am I, 30??? Very opinionated and a song he loved two months ago, now he's like that's absolute trash lmao why would I like that?? Impossible to keep up with his taste.
Sho
Listens to whatever Leo puts on, he's not a stranger to the club, but I feel like has some secret artists and genres he likes that he won't admit to under pain of torture. Like maybe he likes country or kpop or something and he's like God I can't let Leo know this because I'll never hear the end of it. But he listens to it while he's at his food truck.
Haru
Can you not imagine him enjoying a good Cher song? Some Abba? 70’s-90’s I think is like on lock for him. He's turning up, he's blessing the rains down in Africa. He knows Destiny's Child probably. Sometimes he'll be like oh yeah I know new music, like what was that song? Huh? Toxic by Britney Spears came out in 2003? Guess I don't know new music than haha!!
Towa
Hes like ~~~~!!! ~~! (This shit fucks) Listening to birdsong and the bubbling creek. But he's also not immune to A Thousand Years by Christina Perri. He likes love songs! Mostly sweet love songs, not tragic or lost loved ones (probably no Adele). He will enjoy Haru's music as well, but only for Haru's sake.
Ren
Like lofi beats to chill and study to. Movie and game soundtracks but none of the fun ones. He's NOT listening to Decode from the hit movie Twilight and he NOT enjoying Megalovania from Undertale. He would relent to the To The Moon soundtrack and other indie game osts (if not because he enjoys them then to be superior in his Niche tastes).
Taiga
His music taste goes like this:
If you play something he likes, he allows it.
If you play something he doesn't like, he says turn that shit off.
If you ask him what he likes/wants to hear, he's like ….that one song, it's like duh duh dun…no? Whatever. And he gives up.
Romeo
Let me be real with you. You will not know his favorite bands. He doesn't expect you to know his favorite bands. His favorite bands are like experimental bands from Europe who release a song only on the new moon and it's behind an ARG to get to and hear and there's only 5 physical copies of their VINYL ever made.
He also endures whatever Haru, Rui, and Leo listen to and complains only when absolutely necessary.
Ritsu
i cannot take him seriously. like the little Einstein’s theme?? Jokingggg. 😐. He probably doesn't listen to much music, probably only things he remembers from childhood, and then instrumental things occasionally but claims it's mostly just too much of a distraction. He listens to like audio recordings of law books and court cases.
Subaru
I don't know I just think he secretly likes 80’s ballads and girl bands. He likes more traditional music, instrumentals, opera and musical music, and probably can appreciate even like true classic jazz music. He has a lot of patience and tolerance and goodness in his heart and will listen to just about anything and be able to appreciate it, but if it's his choice, he is probably not listening to noise metal.
Haku
Okay Varied. Okay six thousand songs on his playlist and that's just one playlist. He just can't stand repeating the same songs over and over so he listens to anything and everything. He doesn't always remember every song that well, because there are so many and he doesn't listen to every single one daily, but there's a good chance if you know a song, he has it somewhere.
Zenji
Like Haku! He does appreciate traditional Japanese music and instruments, but he is an art lover first and foremost and will have something positive to say about anything you let him listen to. He and Haku are probably like sitting around going from YT recommended song one after the other and just being like oh yeah this Swedish dance pop is good, yes the Mongolian throat singing is good too.
Ed
VARIED but he also goes “ah, a song from before you time…I hope you'll appreciate it,” and puts on Megan Thee Stallion and listens like it's Vivaldi. He's like these Gregorian monks chanting are so musical. This bardic interpretation of Hips Don't Lie goes hard as the kids say. Blue by Eiffel 65.
Rui
Not immune to boy bands and girl bands. He likes upbeat things! He might dress goth and live in the goth house but his soul is glittery pink. He listens to a variety overall, but isn't very into anything like screamo or heavy metal. He gets bored listening to anything too slow and level. He, like Romeo, will listen to Haru's music, but unlike Romeo, he will sing along.
Lyca
Doesn't know much music! Likes whatever Subaru likes, he guesses. Doesn't like some of the songs Rui or Ed plays but those are just random misses on a spinning dartboard because they could be anything. He's figuring it out and will listen to anything you want to play for him!
Yuri
He does not like classical music as much as he claims to. He's like yeah yeah, Beethoven, that's top tier…obviously… (bored out of his mind). Guy who NEEDS to listen to to like. Russian hardstyle and Slavic dance music but he won't. He deprives himself.
Jiro
Listen to me. I wrote all of these because of Jiro. Closer by Nine Inch Nails. Bauhaus. Type O Negative. I'm SAYING he listens to goth and more gothic rock music and you KNOW if Yuri pulls his headphones out to yell at him, he just hears Tear You Apart by She Wants Revenge and he's like… I don't want to talk to anymore I changed my mind stop listening to freaky goth music. He also can hear like a biwa or other traditional instruments and feel comforted and familiar with them, even if he doesn't know why.
