But for their love, they were willing to risk life itself.

So I’ve just seen the Mummy (1999) for the first time, somehow, after 25 years of being alive and loving adventure/fantasy/historical fiction films and I.

I LOVED IT.

Sure, it’s goofy and the CGI is a bit horrid, but I still loved it.

I loved the characters, I loved the gorgeous sets, I loved how EARNEST it is. It’s truly such a fun film, and I’m kicking myself for not watching it sooner.

And it’s FUNNY! Beni and Rick had me cackling. Look at Brendan’s face in this scene:

And then he’s on the WRONG SIDE OF THE RI-VER!

Also really loved the relationships between the characters. Jonathan and Evy have such a sweet sibling dynamic. They genuinely love and support each other, and that’s really refreshing.

Just Jonathan in general is delightful, honestly.

Love ya, dude.

Also everyone is so hot??? I even thought Imhotep was handsome, and I’m usually put off by bald men (sorry fellas). Look how cute Evy is!!!

BUT. Ardeth Bay? Holy shit. He is GORGEOUS. Legitimately have never seen a man who’s so beautiful. Big time crush happening over here.

I looked up Oded Fehr and he’s actually still gorgeous, it’s ridiculous.

Dude. Are you kidding me??? LOOK at him.

Anyway, really loved this movie and can’t wait to get sucked into the fandom!

Just got back from seeing The Mummy 25th Anniversary Re-Release in theaters and man it was so special!

I had never seen this movie in theaters before and I was there with my best friend who also loves The Mummy with her whole heart. The movie begins, Ardeth starts speaking, I grab her hand and tears start to well up in my eyes.

Throughout the movie I could tell who in the theater were my kind of people, as they were the ones laughing at the jokes, bouncing to the music, and saluting when Winston died. It was delightful to see some people bring their loved ones who maybe hadn’t seen the film before. They were jumping at all the scary parts, wincing at the bugs and death, but most delightful of all, reacting to Brendan Fraser’s facial expressions!

The cinematic experience is truly how The Mummy is supposed to be watched, as I was able to discern the more subtle whispers in the background that indicated Imhotep was nearby and reacted viscerally to the scarabs because there was surround sound.

This movie may not be a perfect movie, but to me this is my perfect movie. I look forward to being able to watch The Mummy Returns in theaters.

Another fantastic meme by yours truly

[livingfandomly]

25 years ago I was born but, more importantly, 25 years ago The Mummy was released. Had a lil rewatch and the smile has not left my face.

First things first, thank you to the cast for awakening my bisexuality. Secondly, Evie is my hero and one of the first female characters I saw growing up that was not only doing a job I daydreamed about but was a badass as well as a librarian. Thirdly, Brendan Fraser…. No one is hotter than you or will ever be. You’re everyone’s type. You’re THE type. Each individual lock of hair on your head deserves its own room in a 5 star hotel. The clothes on your skin as Rick make me want to burn down the entire fashion industry for never being good enough, for never matching the standards you set. Fourthly, Jonathan……. You’re a cash-hungry kook and I will always appreciate you for it. Fifthly, Ardeth Bay… Ardeth Bay…….. Ardeth Bay…………… baby girl……………… you’re gay. You saw a white man trudge through the desert after being in a forbidden city and instead of killing him, as you would do with anyone else, you let him go. The second you saw him the next time your first words were “he’s strong”. When you first came face to face with him and his gun, you walked away AFTER you disarmed him. Then, you ran into mummy zombies to give your boyfriend time to save his girlfriend. Then you came back to say goodbye. You’re gay, son. And you made Rick gay for you too. Sixthly, Imhotep I hate you but in the kinkiest way possible. It’s giving screaming-“fuck you”-just-to-get-you-to-fuck-me vibes and I wouldn’t expect anything less unhinged from myself. Seventhly… Anck-Su-Namun, I too would raise hell and bring every plague to earth if it meant getting to spend time with you. Never seen a hotter human being in my entire liFE. Lastly…. Given that The Mummy has had two perfect movies, I’m still waiting for the final part of this incomplete trilogy. I am a patient child. I will wait forever.

K.

That’s all.
