If I were in a crime drama or some sort of detective piece of media, I don’t want to be the main character, or even a side character… I want to own an Evil Boat. You know the one, the boat where shady men and women in various styles of black suits and dresses get together to discuss their various schemes whilst sipping from comically tiny champagne flutes, I want to own the boat they’re having those discussions on, particularly at dusk where sinister lighting frames their faces. They’ll be discussing their stuff and I’ll be somewhere in the far distance eating from a cheeseboard, and life would be good. I’d like to reiterate that I don’t endorse or support crime, but Evil Boat owner is my dream role.

Movie Analysis and Review: "Dog Day Afternoon" (1975)

Introduction:“Dog Day Afternoon” presents a gripping narrative of a botched bank robbery that escalates into a day-long hostage situation, unveiling the complexities of its characters amidst a media frenzy and FBI intervention. Synopsis:In the sweltering summer of 1972, inexperienced criminal Sonny Wortzik (Al Pacino) orchestrates a bank heist in Brooklyn with his accomplice Sal Naturile (John…

I feel that acknowledging a piece of media as problematic and finding it worth engaging with are not mutually exclusive. And from that perspective, you know what’s a real fuckin’ interesting movie? Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (1997).

Like, okay. It was directed by notorious-right-winger Clint Eastwood. But it also features one of the most respectful (for the mainstream) depictions of a trans woman (and like, the actual person—it’s based on a true crime book and they got her to play herself) of its era.

And if that wasn’t enough, the villain is Kevin Spacey, playing a man who’s trying to use the closet as a defense for murder. Which is like… kinda on the nose?

Plus, it stars John Cusack, who gets to say the line “everyone down here is heavily armed and drunk; New York is boring.” And Jude Law is there. It’s a weird ride, but it’s a helluva movie. (It is 2 hours and 35 minutes long, though, so know that going in.)

having thoughts

[darkhalo4321]

Imma talk shop a bit. By shop I mean, webcomics. and by webcomics, I'm gonna highlight one I HAD to read recently because of what the author/artist said about a specific character in said comic. So let's dive in and talk about EQUALIZE ( a crime/mystery drama! but it has romance elements that I focus on entirely too much >:3c ) (All pictures of the comic link to tapas, and the twitter quote links to the actual thread, so you can read it for yourself) (I read it on Tapas, but it's also on webtoons) Here we have Crow- he is my favorite. For obvious reasons. Look at his fashion!

a Bi in deNIal. (I know I really forced that rhyme)

He is an informant working for the police to find a kidnapper and he also knows something that no one else knows but everyone WANTS to know which, naturally, paints a target on his back.

He also doesn't know how to knock on doors. He just picks the lock. ( now I know you're probably thinking, INvaSIoN of PrIVacY, but it's a funny gag, and it's fiction so calm down and don't get worked up over it. Nic yells at him for it anyway)

We also have Nic, he's just... SUCH a great foil for Crow. He's way more relaxed and chill, and takes things as they come. Wants to do more than stand on the sidelines. The "tired of running from problems, tired of not being strong enough to protect the ones I love" person and we get to see that growth as he works with Crow through various near death situations. Now see, Nic is important because while saving Crow from being kidnapped, he manifests a strange power

The mark appears on his hand and what it does is equalizes... the strength of him and his opponent... I think- Uh don't quote me on that, my attention isn't really on HOW the powers work It's literally on the characters and their struggles. Terrible I know. How dare I only focus on the story beats I LIKE and not know every single thing about this comic inside and out, THE NERVE- Btw there are other uses with other symbols and they have different powers so like, if you wanna read it to see how that pans out, do it! It's all plot relevant! :D I do kind of pay attention. But back on task, Nic has this power that gives him an edge in helping Crow out, so he gets cleared to help! Which is great because it's the buddy cop duo we all love and adore-

complete with the "when you try to follow a lead and it ALL GOES HORRIBLY WRONG" and it brings the two buddies closer

now I won't spoil too much for you, Just tease you enough to make you read it, of course, but I will say, that all these juicy details weren't what drew me into reading this comic. Nope. It was literally just interacting with the creator, and what they said about Crow from one of the episodes of Crow's slow self discovery. I'll post the exact exchange that was said by the artist themself below. vvvv

The part that REALLY resonated with me was

Because a freaking week before this episode went live, I had just come to terms with the very same thing about myself. XD I was like "I'm pan, but don't talk about it, I can't ever really come out because of where I live and how most of my immediate family would not approve" yadda yadda. Most of you know about that if you read the read more- don't read those. I'm just screaming into the wind. Now I'm more relaxed about it, but like, I read that and KNEW and UNDERSTOOD that struggle. The rejecting the way you feel about something. The other reason I wanted to read it was also because I have a character named Crow, and they look similar! I think Celly's Crow is smarter than mine though, but I think my Crow is stronger than Celly's Crow XD

All in all, this series is SO fun, it's got the buddy cop vibe down, with your good strong story beats, interconnecting web of events, and balances the comedy with the main plot seamlessly. The comedy is top notch and it had me laughing OUT LOUD and rooting for characters- The personalities, the struggles, the past conflicts and where characters are at headspace wise and growth wise feels very realistic and it draws you in.

And I love the art so much. It's unique and stands out and the colors are so fitting for the characters, and I've drawn fanart for this series already don't @ me, I already ship crowxnic and they are the cutest. when canon? when kiss for real? That ends my lil essay about this series. Celly is super nice! So, go find them on Instagram or the site formerly know as Twitter. -> Sunnycelly. (this links to instagram) And go read this comic! NOW go FORTH and read some buddy cop BL for goodness sake. (it's not LISTED as a romance, but I see the BROMANCE) (I was so sold on the comedy of the series though too, I cannot express enough how engaging this series is. I love it an unhealthy amount)
