HOUSE OF WAX (2005)
Tumblr media
A movie about some very rude teens being absolute dicks featuring Paris Hilton as a bad actor. An hour in is where things get interesting. Smart protagonist. Tough protagonist. Brother sister team! And a small twist! Really great film, only taking a star off because of the drawn out beginning and useless sex scene. Great concept for a movie. Love how the female protagonist treats the one antagonist, she talks to him like a human which is amazing for someone to do and it always feels like the thing a person thrown into that sort of situation would do. 
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Tumblr media
Chad Michael Murray decides that Jared Padalecki is a good boyfriend (for his sister to date) but it's way too late for him. Some youngsters go to a creepy town made entirely of wax, (even the dogs? In the pet shop?) the people are dead people covered in wax. It's insane (and they cranked out Jared so fast!) but yeah, everyone dies except the brother and sister, the sister tries to reason with the one brother which was actually so human of her. Turns out there are 3 brothers… Twist. Good draw in for the creepy death pit dude.

'In the vast cosmos of sci-fi cinema, some incredible films often slip under the radar of mainstream content consumers, only to be discovered years later. Christopher Nolan's biopic Oppenheimer starring Cillian Murphy, made cinephiles and aficionados re-discover his (Murphy's) underappreciated masterpiece Sunshine. Directed by Danny Boyle, this 2007 space epic stands firmly in the category of hidden gems that are must-watch.
Sunshine is a gripping tale set in the not-so-distant future, 2057, where humanity faces an existential crisis as the sun's dying embers threaten to plunge Earth into icy oblivion. The plot is as engaging as it sounds, coupled with excellent performances. And most importantly, the story remains grounded, which makes all discerning science enthusiasts nod in approval. Having seen so many sci-fi movies over the year, I can undoubtedly say that the last bit is something that most sci-fi films and makers struggle with.
But what makes this film Cillian Murphy's underrated movie and his performance an example of captivating brilliance? And why you can’t miss watching this?
Realism anchored in scientific theory
What sets Sunshine apart from other sci-fi extravaganzas is its dedication to scientific realism. Screenwriter Alex Garland and director Danny Boyle collaborated with physicist Brian Cox to ensure the film's premise was grounded in plausible scientific theory. While, like any other film, some artistic liberties were taken, but still the movie's plot remains remarkably convincing. So a big thumbs up to the creative team and their diligent efforts.
Garland and Boyle have given special attention to the intricate details of the spaceship's design, and the crew's interactions reflect an authentic understanding of space missions. The movie delivers a mind-altering concoction of scientific accuracy, tension-building brilliance, and a stellar ensemble cast, with Cillian Murphy shining throughout the movie as physicist Robert Capa.
Cillian Murphy shines brightly throughout the film
From the moment he steps into the frame, Cillian Murphy's presence is electric, captivating, and enigmatic. Murphy's portrayal adds depth and nuance to Capa, making him a compelling, relatable, and flawed protagonist. A huge credit for this transformation goes to physicist Brian Cox who worked very closely with Murphy sharing his expertise with him. Shadowing Cox at CERN, home of the Large Hadron Collider, impacted the actor and helped him develop mannerisms and speech patterns for his character. While Oppenheimer undoubtedly is Murphy’s career-turning performance, Sunshine (even though it missed its mark at the box office) firmly cemented his reputation as a versatile actor capable of carrying a film of this magnitude.
A hauntingly realistic future
While most sci-fi films get dominated by futuristic technologies and dazzling CGI spectacles, Cullian Murphy’s Sunshine takes a different route. The movie crafts a hauntingly realistic portrayal of the future, where humanity's survival depends on a last-ditch effort to reignite the dying sun. The spaceship Icarus II serves as the epicentre of the narrative; you notice the psychological strain on the crew members.
A tense, thrilling experience
Boyle makes an extra effort to pay meticulous attention to detail, and Alwin H. Küchler's stunning cinematography takes you on a space journey that is way too realistic than one would expect. The movie refuses to fall into the predictable tropes of the genre. It explores the vast space and fear of the unknown. The intensity gets built up thanks to the score composed by John Murphy, adding a hauntingly beautiful layer to the film's tense surrounding.
Philosophical musings and ethical dilemmas
The movie goes beyond space visuals, thrilling sequences, and heart-pounding moments; it dives into philosophical musings and ethical dilemmas. It also raises profound questions about the nature of sacrifice, the weight of human responsibility, and the limits of scientific exploration. You naturally find yourself contemplating the precarious balance between humanity's desire for survival and preserving the natural order.
A film of underrated brilliance that can’t be missed
Despite having every quality to stand tall in the sci-fi genre, Sunshine did not receive the recognition it deserved upon its initial release. Overshadowed by box office giants like Spider-Man 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, this cerebral and thought-provoking sci-fi masterpiece struggled to find its audience. Nevertheless, the movie has caught the eye of the audience again thanks to Cillian Murphy’s latest film Oppenheimer and is getting its due appreciation. Apart from Murphy, the movie has an ensemble cast of actors such as Michelle Yeoh, Rose Byrne, Benedict Wong, and Chris Evans, which add so much weight to this underrated and thought-provoking movie. This underrated gem, now shining brighter than ever, deserves a spot in every sci-fi aficionado's collection.'

Enough "Rose Walker has Hob as her Uni Professior" crackfics. Time for "Professor Gadling is ADAM YOUNG'S Uni history professor" fics.
(....)
Professor Gadlen is an immortal.
Adam Knew, the way he Knew some things sometimes, and it adds humourous context to what Adam imagines is his day job. A History Professor? Really?
"I don't think it's cheating." Pepper had said, during their first twice a month phonecalls. Its a great deal more frequent than Brian and Wensley does, nowadays, and he doesn't mind, not really. The Them had grew, as all children do.
Its been 10 years since the Nopacolypse, and while Brian and Wensley had grown to disregard what Adam was (which he of course appreciates) Pepper had not. It used to tick him off. Now he appreciates it too. She puts him in his place, keeps his feet on the ground. He doesn't know where he'd be without her.
(He does. It doesn't bear thinking)
"I never said it was cheating." Adam spoke into mic of his earbuds, hands free to throw the ball for Dog. Theyve decided to spend some time out on the quad today, and 5 people so far had come to pet him. Adam knows he enjoys the attention. "I said it was cliché."
"It is a little cliché." Pepper admits, and Adam laughs. He can hear her smiling. "Does he know? That you-,"
"No." Adam shrugs. "I mean, not yet."
The smile had dropped. "Adam-,"
"I'm not going to do anything!"
"That doesn't sound like the tone of voice of someone who wasn't planning to do anything."
"I'm curious!" Adam says, a bit defensively, and he hears the crackle of her sigh over the line. "Humans, you know it, Peps, youre the one between us with a head for science, Wensley's hopeless. They shouldn't be around so long, should they? What if he needs help?"
A pause, contemplating. Adam's glad she's giving it thought, makes him feel like this isn't one of his, you know, I-Know-Better Stints he gets into. "How long do you think he's been around?"
600 years, Adam thought, but didnt say. Precisely 633. "Longer than you'd think."
"Aziraphale and Crowley long?"
"Not that long." Adam assures, can't helping the smile that the reminder brings forth. He hadn't visited those old hats for a while. "Long enough."
"Did he seem unhappy to you?"
He didn't, Adam thought. He had come to accompany Violet, a friend he's made through their Introductory to 14th century Neopolitics class, to Professor Gadlen's office to ask some questions about the quiz carry marks for midterms, and while there is some modicum of stress, it is the normal, human background buzz. Professor Robert H. Gadlen, as far as he can tell, seems perfectly content, just the way he is. One of the most.
If it wasn't for Knowing, Adam wouldn't have suspected anything off about him at all.
He hadn't said anything into the line, but it seems he didnt need to.
"Then leave it." Pepper declares, her voice crisp with finality.
"But-,"
"Leave it, Adam, you don't know what he is and what he's been through, you don't get to make the call. You know this."
Adam scrunches his nose as Dog returns the ball to him, tail wagging in delight. "I-," he says, and halts himself. Pepper was right, of course she was right, and no messing about, that's what he said, 10 years ago, he'd promised.
"Yeah," Adam relents. "Ok."
"Thank you. I'm only helping you look out for yourself, Adam."
"I know," Adam sighs. "Thank you."
"Don't sound so glum, we're heading over to see you in a week, and we'll have a pint in that old Pub Brian spotted about last time that he wanted to try. The Pegasus, or something."
"The White Horse?"
"Same thing." It really isn't, but Adam doesn't corrrect her. "Anyway, keep safe over there, don't do anything stupid. And give Aziraphale a call, won't you? He's been worried lately over something or the other, something about dreams."
"I will."
"And you'll tell me if you've reconsidered what me and Brian asked? About leaving the town, seeing the sights? Because I know some people, and it'll do you good, you know. Seeing new things. It's not forever, Adam, and Tadfield's going to be right there when you come back."
Adam doesn't tell her she couldn't know that, not when he couldn't either. Doesn't tell her their sleepy little town had been so drenched as home to him, arms slack open for the Before and After of the NoPocalypse, the him of Before and the him of After, that him leaving and severing it, finally, might mean the town might lose the root and half of itself within the year, collapse like an old building with it's pillars stolen out.
He doesn't tell her that it's a part of him, the cracked tar roads and humped houses and ancient ice cream parlor, the ominous edges of Hogsback Woods and the old LifeGuard seat over the chalk pit he still comes to see every other evening, hearing it whisper the things he should have done, the well paved path of what He Still Could Be. How it looms and stretches and groans to make it seem like it was bigger than it truly was, a throne of dirt and earth and decay.
He'd left that behind now, that isn't him anymore, because he said so, didn't he?
He just remembers.
He doesn't tell him that he feels Tadfield like a limb, it's unchanging storybook perfect English weather, and that even departing to stay at Goldsmith's a campus not half an hour away, feels like leaving 10 fingers behind. He feels the phantom of it, he aches for it, feels incomplete of himself without it.
He doesn't tell Pepper any of this. It wouldn't change things, and there was nothing she could do. There wasn't anything Crowley and Aziraphale could do, the only two people with any semblance of understanding how it might feel like. Adam feels like a ghost, posessing his own skin, and he sees the world tilted 0.5 degrees to the left leaving the door open a crack to the secrets of the universe, a room unlit. Everyday, for 10 years, had been a fight to ignore it.
He loves Humanity. He does, he does, he promises. Its part of him too, the love, the agonizing, unpleasant devotion. He was meant to be King. And he loves being human, knows in his heart of hearts its simply the best thing he could possibly be.
But being content, fighting against the maddening glimpse of that unlit room?
He didn't know that was possible.
"C'mon Dog," he beckons, once he and Pepper had made their customary dance of goodbyes, tucking the old damp tennis ball into the pocket of his coat as the hound twirls leaps around his legs, cheerful and impatient and eager to please. "We have to take an early night. Morning classes tommorow."
It is Professor Gadlen's class, and Adam refuses to be late. He cannot wait to poke and prod for more pieces of him. He's promised Pepper there would be no intervention as to what he was, not unless he was harmed, and while Adam has no intention of breaking this oath, he had made no promises against snooping.
After all, he's just curious.

List of Cthulhu Mythos books
Tumblr media
Many fictional works of arcane literature appear in H. P. Lovecraft's cycle of interconnected works often known as the Cthulhu Mythos. The main literary purpose of these works is to explain how characters within the tales come by occult or esoterica (knowledge that is unknown to the general populace). However, in some cases the works themselves serve as an important plot device. Thus, in Robert Bloch's tale "The Shambler from the Stars", a weird fiction writer seals his doom by casting a spell from the arcane book De Vermis Mysteriis. Another purpose of these tomes was to give members of the Lovecraft Circle a means to pay homage to one another. Consequently, Clark Ashton Smith used Lovecraft's Necronomicon (his most prominent creation) in Smith's tale "Ubbo-Sathla". Likewise, Lovecraft used Robert E. Howard's Nameless Cults in his tale "Out of the Aeons". Thereafter, these texts and others appear in the works of numerous other Mythos authors (some of whom have added their own grimoires to the literary arcana), including August Derleth, Lin Carter, Brian Lumley, Jonathan L. Howard, and Ramsey Campbell.
