Home is where I want to be, but I guess I'm already there
I come home, she lifted up her wings. I guess that this must be the place
I can't tell one from another—Did I find you, or you find me?
There was a time before we were born
If someone asks, this where I'll be
Where I'll be

no one touch me
Leave The City was "One day I'll leave this place, but right now, I can't. In the meanwhile I'll fight to stay alive and not lose hope about making the final escape. We're in this together."
Paladin Strait is "I'm risking death to return to the very place they battered my soul in to dismantle the whole system and thus make the final escape. We're in this together."
#ltc hoping to get out while confined inside#versus paladin infiltrating the city from the outside#ltc barely keeping it together and struggling to survive#paladin actively accepting death if it comes to that - what a resolution#the character development...#look how far weve come in this narrative ohmygod#absolute cinema#im in tears#tøp#twenty one pilots#clancy#leave the city#paladin strait

TIL that The Silence of the Lambs (1991) was designed by a woman named Dawn Baillie. She isn't even mentioned in the movie's Wikipedia page and her individual Wikipedia page doesn't contain any images of her work. This iconic poster is characteristic of Baillie's signature simplicity, subtlety and cleverly hidden symbolism within her design, giving just enough to intrigue the viewer and entice them to watch the film. Her work for The Silence of the Lambs received numerous awards, most notably named "best film poster of the last 35 years" at the 2006 Key Art Awards. Her work also includes other iconic posters, including Dirty Dancing, Little Miss Sunshine and Isle of Dogs.
When asked to choose her favorite poster she's designed she said, "As a mother, I love all of my children. Each poster has its own story of love, challenges, tears, and triumphs. I love the first one, for “Dirty Dancing,” because it gave me confidence, and I love the last because it proves I’m still capable."
#i stumbled onto this because i'm making a pres on different ways illustration is used and was struggling to find artist who were not men...#finding out she designed both sotl AND little miss sunshine means EVERYTHING to me#learning so much and consuming so much art preparing for the upcoming class i'll be teaching#lest we forget the lamb#silence of the lambs#the silence of the lambs#dawn baillie#poster design#movie poster#film#cinema#design

I WILLEXPLODE INTO ONE BILLION PIECES IF YOU DRAW CHERIK PHYSIO ART pls plspls
(Charles wheelchair representation enjoyer anon here) to the anon that was talking about X2 YESYESYES !!!!! You get me!!!!! For me it’s the scene in DofP where Charles chooses to not take the medication and asks Hank to help him to his study I ugly cry watching it every time. Most disability representation in film around that time was like “disabled character exists solely to teach the able bodied lead that they should live life to the fullest and then they die and the death is usually seen as a good ending for them” so seeing Charles actively choose to reckon and come to terms with his disability and not give up on life because of it AND THEN HE GETS TO MEET A FUTURE VERSION OF HIMSELF THAT IS SO SECURE AND CONFIDENT AND HAS GIVEN SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE LIKE HIM A SAFE SPACE AAUUGHHGGJ GOODBYEE
IN DUE TIME MY FRIENDS I SWEAR TO YOOUUU 🫵🫵
AND SOOO TRUE ABOUT DOFP youre so right .... god youre so right ...
#snap chats#if i think of dofp charles long enough i do get emo for many reasons but thats a big part of it ..#i cant articulate rn but hhh it always somethin bout charles offering a haven for those struggling and accepting themselves#not to give up on life just because its a bit different for you and maybe a bit harder but its worth fighting for Girl Im Gonna Cry In Clas#ANOTHER reason why dofp is PURE CINEMA 🙌

Arcane is one of the best animated show I watched, that's it, I said it
#s1 already blown my mind#but the second season? the creators went even further - I am more than amazed#the animation was stunning ALL THE TIME and I don't even talk about all the different styles they put into it#the directing was amazing and gave us scenes that can rival cinema masterpieces#the choice of music was perfect (Isha song still hunt me)#and the characters were so touching & reliable with their struggles - I love everyone of them even the worse#Viktor <3 you touched me heart ;o;#Vi & Mel I'm so gay for you#Jinx & Isha in a parallele world I'm your mom and I'll give you all the love you need#Ekko you're the kindest and coolest soul ever stay as you are#Heimerdinger please be my cutie uncle - AND HOLY SHIT YOU CAN SING#and so on#GONNA MISS THEM SO MUCH#my only *complain* is that it feels rushed a bit since there isn't a lot of episodes#but even with that short time it was still great so bravo to them#arcane#personal

yasaka (miss psychological warfare) being entirely bamboozled by mitsumi working at face value is pretty amusing ngl
#not yet fully absorbed what this chapter told us about yasaka tbh. but whilst she does want to 'win' the guys#the impact that has on her relationship with girls is actually pretty fascinating. say... the thing with the cinema tickets#did she ignore the implications or genuinely not realise them wrt his gf? because sure it could be the former but if it's the latter#then her struggling to build relationships with girls is more a cycle that feeds into it itself than sth intended maliciously#and is weirdly something she'd have in common with mitsumi in terms of missing undertones.#but also yasaka only picking up what she's focusing on (winning) and reading malicious intent into interactions with other girls#means that she's so ill-equipped when it comes to making relationships with /anyone/ frankly#which is fascinating when she's first presented as this more savvy character. her choosing to try + wade into the undertones#has just left her /lonely/. (also. the boy stuff being about 'winning' rather than any kind of lasting romantic relationship is hm.)#skip to loafer#stl manga spoilers#she's weirdly reminding me of that chara from blue flag I'm blanking on the name of rn#(which also ties into how if yasaka just ignores the implications wrt his gf is she actually in the wrong for that necessarily?#friends can go to the cinema together after all. it being construed as some kind of cheating/date by society simply because#they're a girl and boy going together is kinda... yeah.)

The Forgotten (Don't Look in the Basement, 1973)
"Perhaps I shouldn't have come here at all."
"I don't think there's any point in our talking about your leaving, Miss Beale. You forget, you were very anxious to take this job. I made special provisions for you to be here."
"I realise that, but I don't know what to do!"
"I'm the doctor and you're the nurse, and what I do decides what you will do!"

🏳🌈🌈Movie Recommendation 13
Edward II (1991) 💖💖💖
Edward II (1991) by Dereck Jarman ( a very modern adaptation of Christopher Marlowe's play), is one of my favourite movies; it may not be perhaps to everyone's taste.
I always wanted to do a video of Edward and Piers' tragic love story. It took a while but I finally did it, I hope some of you will like it. You can see it on my fanvid YT channel.
Here is a scene of Edward II and Piers with Annie Lennox singing a Cole Porter song in the background...💖💔🎵
