“Gentlemen. I find it strange. You are poets, each one of you and speak of your muse in the feminine. And yet you appear to feel neither tenderness nor respect towards your wives, nor towards females in general.”
Orlando (1992) directed by Sally Potter

It's very sad that I can't find a gifset that captures the manic, delightful, stupid, the-show-must-go-on-even-if-he-has-a-concussion!!! energy of The Goes Wrong Show, because as someone who did theater in high school, and has met a couple people who are professional performers.....it might be the most accurate depiction of Theater People I've ever seen.
#there is a specific sort of madness that drives certain human beings towards live regional theater.#this is different than what drives people to be famous! people are famous for lots of reasons.#but the folks who do regional theater in cincinnati or ann arbor or Fictional British Town? they are their own breed.#they care so much.#they have vision like an auteur director. they are insistent that the lyrics be enunciated even if the lyrics are stupid.#the smaller your molehill the more you can police it. mountains are so big!!#a proscenium for our dreams

Twisters is so funny because we’re first introduced to the corporate sponsored tornado chasers and they’re just…a boring collection of dudes. Totally bland, with barely a single personality between them. And then in come the Tornado Wranglers: the hottest, gayest collection of exuberant fun-loving weirdos you could possibly imagine. And it’s like…gee I wonder who the good guys are.
#twisters#to be clear this rules and is also in the spirit of the original#the scrappy diverse little team of loveable weirdos vs the cold boring corporate assholes is a classic trope#like i too would switch to the fun tornado polycule instead of sticking with the evil guys who suck#i also genuinely love that they’re shown to be Real Americans who support their community and provide disaster relief#sure you could argue it’s propaganda#but tbh I’m all for a blockbuster that promotes community organizing and diversity in the American lifestyle#they’re so inspiring in their desire to help even the British journalist is moved to join them#the director Lee Isaac Chung wrote and directed Minari before this- a film everyone should see#and there’s plenty of connective tissue between that film and twisters (Tyler Owens is explicitly mentioned as being from Arkansas)

in "anecdotes that sound entirely made up," this evening i was at dress rehearsal for the show im in, the importance of being earnest. i was in the dressing room and one of the costume assistants fainted. i caught her and was asking her if she was alright, if she knew where she was, etc. the uh. unfortunate part is that i was asking her entirely in character, which includes a british accent. imagine if you will, fainting, and when you come to, a man dressed as a mid 19th century woman is asking you if youre alright in a british accent. i think i would faint again
#shes fine btw. history of migraines and hadnt had enough to eat or drink today#but anyways. fun anecdote#also youre WELCOME director i can stay in a damn accent!!!#i asked the rest of the cast afterwards if it was in my accent and they were like 'yeah. we didnt want to laugh because it was very serious#but you were fully speaking in a british accent the entire time'#tragic.

When they’re animals
Obviously Narrator’s a cockatoo while the Curator is a cat. The Director is a jellyfish because I wanted them to be some kind of sea life and it felt like it fit.
When it comes to The Narrator and Stanley on their own, I see the Narrator as a Yorkshire Terrier and Stanley as a standard cat. My reasoning is The Narrator demands constant attention,follows someone around everywhere, and is loud, while Stanley demands constant attention in a different font, is quiet, and does whatever he wants.

there is really something to be said about how george russell now moves me in ways i cannot describe. I started off mildly disliking him and now i act like he’s some guy i see once every two years, hang out for three days and then disappear into the void again. highly endearing and also just some guy on the street.
#f1#formula 1#george and his britishness#george russell#but I genuinely used to dislike this guy#because if you imagine a british colonizer and put a picture up of George Russell#it’s the same picture#I’m so serious#sorry George Russell for not seeing your game or impact#i stand by my cancelled wife#and it’s gpda director george russell

ok so im currently rewatching nimona in the hindi dub (thank you @sir-ballister-boldheart-boldheart for the link! everyone should check out their great posts about it too btw)
and right of off the bat, im kinda obsessed with this line change:
in the OG, Nimonas quip/joke is "The one armed club is about to get some new members"
but in the Hindi dub its changed to "Agar inmisay kisi ka basu pasand ai toh bata'dayna" (sorry if my hinglish isnt the best i dont do this kinda thing often XO)
(which translates to: "if you find a liking to any of these arms tell me")
which is not only equally as hilarious but also soso cute cause the implication shes ready to chop of any arm he wants as a fucked up kinda karma/compensation or as a replacement is just, so good. violent and in character but also establishes a side of care for him early on which is really cool.
#she cares but in the most fucked up and violent ways its so sweet <333#she really said 'arm choping is not a love language unless i do it and by me doing it i mean im gonna chop you a new arm >:3'#also while im obsessed with riz ahmeds british/urdu accent in the og. the hindi dub is so fun and expressive in a compleatly new/different#way. its really interesting to listen to. rare good hindi dub 10/10#also i realy like the directors va in this? shes absolutely amazing and a great actress#psii.txt#nimona#nimona movie#nimona 2023#ballister boldheart#desi tag#nimona hindi dub#(also note for @. i dont wanna clog ur notifs so this will probably be the only time i do so if i post more unless you wish otherwise)
