How the fuck did D&D: Honor Among Thieves actually look so much better costume wise than Amazon Rings of Power??? D&D budget: 150 Million; Rings of Power: 465 Million ($89.4 million per episode)
Rings of Power:
D&D: Honor Among Thieves
(Theses are extras/goons)
The villainess is bitchen!
WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THESES COSTUMES???? THIS IS WHAT I EXPECT OUT OF A FANTASY MOVIE!
PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! GO SEE THIS MOVIE!

had a lot of time on my hands today so i read the comic adaptation of the 2004 movie and this part was like the one thing i liked. make that man miss his family! make him clutch a picture of them to his chest and cry! yeah!
#marvel#frank castle#the punisher#everything else about this comic was worse than the movie#from the various -phobias and -isms to just. the way it was paced#the pacing was so bad it made me genuinely need to take a break and stare across the hall#like damn. speedrunning this? this whole thing?#it was a 3-parter and entirety of part 1 was the first 10 minutes of the movie#and then the other 2 were the rest. THATS INSANE#but yeah something about frank telling himself hes not going to grieve because its pointless and stupid and he has to be cold and strong#and then breaking down into tears anyway. something about that is good#god if i think about it too long i get sad. my baby

The Tudors ran so Wulf Hall could shuffle awkwardly around reiterating the same tired old Tudor stereotypes while claiming to be something new.
#It's so funny but as a historian I will genuinely defend 'The Tudors' to the death even with all its problems#Because it did was so few other Tudor shows/movies/media have ever done#And that is: it focused on things BEYOND just Henry and his wives.#Yes Henry was the focal point which makes SENSE but that's just it:#HENRY was the focal point. Most other Tudor media pieces have one of the wives (usually Catherine/Anne) as the focus and doesn't delve muc#Into the history or what was happening in England beyond the King's Great Matter.#The Tudors went ALL out. Yes they didn't get everything right but the fact that they tried and spotlighted so many other#Historical characters and events? The Pilgrimage of Grace? Actually LOOKING at the religious issues even if they weren't always accurate?#(Like with Aske for example. BUT AT LEAST THEY INCLUDED ROBERT ASKE like good lord it's like other Tudor media forgets everything else)#Focusing on Cromwell but also the Seymour brothers? The politics behind Henry? Even Brandon as annoying as his storylines could get.#Even smaller characters like Tallis and Gardiner and other Reformation and Counter-Reformation figures.#The fact that they featured the Reformation and Counter-Reformation AT ALL let alone tried to dive into the complexities of England's#religious crises. The burning of Anne Askew even? People having to navigate England's increasingly unstable religious situations?#The series hit its peak after the CoA/Anne stuff was over imho. Yes Cranmer and Norfolk annoyingly vanished despite being major figures in#the R/CR and they combined Mary and Margaret but god the Tudors did SO MUCH that NO OTHER PIECE OF TUDORS MEDIA has EVER DONE.#It looked BEYOND Henry BEYOND his wives and tried to paint a comprehensive pictur of a deeply troubling and divisive time in English histor#And it did so without demonising one side and it was just so good for so many reasons that I forgive its errors because damn did they TRY.#Tried in a way no one else ever has (no Wulf Hall did not I'm sorry)#(Wulf Hall was just the same old stereotypes rehashed and branded as something 'original' because it was from Cromwell's POV but again.#Same old stereotypes. Nothing actually original about anything else.)#The Tudors is so underrated for what it tried to do and what it achieved and I am reaching the tag limit but UGH god. Amazing.#Not even getting into how wonderful they were with Mary Tudor/Mary I herself and showing figures around her#Because that would be another tag essay considering the subject of my thesis.#Flawed but wonderful.#text#chey.txt

my mom loves watching paranormal caught on camera and ancient aliens and will willingly go to mediums to talk to ghosts but you try and put on a single scary movie where everything is 100% fake and she pussies out
#molly mumbles#mom pls#its so God damn annoying shes always wanting to do a movie night#but it ends up with me scrolling for God damn HOURS bc she cant compromise#on anything. she only wants to watch comedies. there ARENT ANY GOOD#COMEDIES EILEEN. PICK A NEW GENRE.#we went through THREE different services and she can't find a single#movie to watch. everything I suggest- regardless of genre- she rejects#I know this is such a non problem I'm aware but I just get so pissed off bc she#refuses to pick a fucking movie and then complains that 'we can never agree'#when shes the Only One not trying. like Jesus why act like you wanna spend time#together if we're just gonna do this the entire time for fucks sake#my hand is fucking cramped up bc God forbid she do it herself#ugh

in hindsight Buck Vernon is such a funny character. like his whole story starts off with his ass getting dumped but not even realizing it. he goes across the country searching for her and doesn't have any luck until he goes to a random fortune teller (who later admits to scamming him) and takes her vague bullshit to heart which leads him to get caught in the middle of a wild drug ring and he may have accidentally set off a war between said drug dealers and a gang of arsonists that was founded by an undead biker dude. he once bumped into said undead biker dude at a night club while running from the cops. he can see/talk to ghosts and it's never explained why and he doesnt even make a big deal of it. he ends up finding a corpse in the middle of the road and goes "well shit someone has to bury the guy". when said corpse gets up and asks for a smoke buck just. gives it to him and starts having a chat with him. he cant lie for shit and gets caught like every single time but still manages to get out of every situation alive. he once beat up a drug dealer in the back of an arcade. he got black brained which kills every other character it happened to and just. didnt die somehow?? he's killed at least two people and doesn't even blink. when he found his ex and got dumped a second time he just. got up and walked off with a bullet wound in his leg. he presumably lived and proceeds to write weird sad love songs for the rest of his life.
hes the most pathetic noir protagonist ive ever seen. there's something deeply wrong with him. i want to study him
#Edit: I FORGOT ABOUT THE CANON HALLUCINATIONS#he also vividly hallucinates and it’s just an aspect of his character#the ghosts aren’t hallucinations because they know things buck has no way of knowing so he canonly can see ghosts#hes so funny who lets him be like this#whats wrong with him#buck seeing a corpse get up and start walking around: damn this would make a good song#ok but seriously though why can he talk to ghosts#like he can just do that. why#I might be wrong about the first part but honestly vide noir is way funnier if he has no clue. like lee left him but didnt tell him shit#imagine going through all this shit for someone only to found out they weren't missing they just ghosted you#its so funny#also how did he even survive getting black brained. like yeah yeah cosmic ash can bring you back from an overdose but#buck didnt have that. he just?? decided not to die???#at this point god wont let him die#vide noir#vide noir movie#buck vernon#dani speaks#lord huron

I started reading Lord of the Rings (bought Fellowship of the Ring like… last spring but never got around to starting) and I’d just like to say. Holy fuck what a slow book. You mean to tell me I’m over a hundred pages in and this man is only just leaving the Shire? Sign me up for MORE I love this shit. Tolkien said “I will take exactly as much time as I want to describe things and you will like it”. AND I DO
#i can already tell this is the sort of thing that’s going to be so good I’ll never recover from it#I’ve watched the movies like casually-in-the-background a couple times so I know the approximate plot#(they often run on TV somewhere around Christmas and New Year’s in Sweden so they’ve been on more than twice)#but there’s so much detail here that’s just… missed out on… in the films#Or I forgot about it lmfao#Either way loving the book detail#And also reading a book for the first time in months i told my mom id been reading today and she was like YOURE READING?!#It’s part of my social media healing process. Forcing me to like… sit down and take shit in#Used to DEVOUR books when I was younger#Just Kinda Stopped at some point (much like every other former gifted kid)#But it’s a well missed moment of escapism and calm and centering myself. meditative almost#I find lotr to be good also because it’s like… a little heavy. You can read a chapter and then sit with it for a little while#Im not quite reaching the heavy cliffhangers yet either#Each chapter feels pretty concluded#It’s a healthier reading method I feel than the ‘devour in one night then don’t read for 6 months’ thing I did in high school#the few times i DID sit down to read a book#God damn those are some long tags#z talks#not horse game#I feel so late to the party because I always see all these people enjoying lotr ;-; its so established and here am i….#but alas

i was watching a music video for a japanese song and it had built in youtube english captions so i went to turn those on but then i saw that there was like an option for "English" and then a second option for "English (Canada)" and i realized in a few seconds it was just a workaround to having two sets of english captions, one with colour changes in the lettering and one without for accessibility (the canada one was the non-fancy lettering) but for a moment i was living in a world where they were making dedicated canadian english translations for things..... measuring temperature in celsius and height in feet...... paying with loonies and toonies... going to the WASHROOM
#pencil crayons for colored pencils is a favourite but its mostly just an ontario thing tho from what ive heard LOL#calling electricity hydro is another good one. although that also depends on province <3 ontario and i think BC? and maybe more#sorry im ontarian. you can make fun of me for it its okay.#you know sometimes i think about attempts at 'canada english' settings in word processors and stuff#they always suck ass. because every person in this god damn country uses whatever word and spelling they want LOL#like theres some general likelihoods like colour and favourite are common. but centre or center? its like 50-50#i personally use both. depending on i dont know. context? the phase of the moon and stars?#theatre and theatre i see both as well and also personally use both but i have like specific rules for myself for some reason#i use theatre for playhouses and theater for movie theaters. i dont know why#and dont get me started on measurements. thats another combo of context and personal preference#people who work more in like trades switch a lot because of product labels but tend to lean more imperial#people who work in like i dunno. chemistry or something probably use a lot of metric#the average person working in neither? honestly they'll probably say both in the same sentence at least where i live#when installing art basically everyone uses both inches and cms depending on which ones more convenient on the ruler LOL#our drivers licenses in ontario say our heights in cm but literally no one can picture it with the cm measurement because#colloquially everyone says heights in feet and inches. its fine. its fine#edit: WAIT i got so distracted by measurement bullshit i forgot to mention the song. it was insomnia by eve#good tune as usual of eve and also a really beautifully animated and emotionally intense music video

what didnt you like about in a violent nature? 👁
i didn't think it was that bad i just thought it was preddy boring. like the decent execution proved why it was maybe a flawed premise.
slasher where you follow the slasher the whole time: cool idea in theory buttttt
you don't really build a lot of tension because you can see exactly what the killer is doing and where he is at all times (the best scare moments are the 2 times he disappears off screen but one of those times ends up being kind of moot because he never comes back. so the tension didnt pay off)
you dont really have any reason to care about the kills because you've only seen any of these people for one scene at most. so who give a shit. i know a lot of people are really hyped about the kills because theyre 'so intense' but if youve seen like. any previous shudder original or damien leone movie then nothing here is particularly shocking. this is all extremely standard for 2020s gore movies ime (<- guy who saw when evil lurks at AMC with no warning. on the big screen. so probably has a skewed experience)
and that last point about the victims is especially important if youre going to decide to drop the gimmick and switch to following the final girl for the last chunk of the movie (probably honestly was only 10 minutes but it felt like 40). because who is this girl. what character trait does she have. i mean she has a rude boyfriend and she likes necklaces i guess but i dont know a single thing about her and you dont even spend the end of the movie learning about her you just watch her slowly pass out while this random woman drones on about a story that they kind of. failed to engage me with because at that point i had spent so long meditating to the peaceful sounds of the killer walking around that i was fully checked out.
anyway this is all why i wondered if maybe the movie was actually a genius satire on the genre by taking the shallow characters and predictable kills that we associate with schlocky horror to the extreme. but if that was the intent its honestly like 3 decades too late to be meaningful :p
#i will say the yoga kill is the one thing this movie had that i havent seen before but um#i. was fighting from laughing out loud im so sorry#its just like. when he starts pulling her head thru her chest it escalated past intense violence and into being ridiculous#like i suddenly realized how stupid this whole thing was and almost lost it.#also i need to disclaim i did really like the kill with the woodcutter thing for the most part#like being unable to move or react or do anything and just having to wait for this machine to kill you is crazy. that was a good scare#except they also took me out of that because i was like oh god hes gonna cut that guys head off.#and then instead he just cut one hand so i was like oh god hes gonna like torture him slowly#and then he just cut the guys head off right after and i was like okay. why did you do the hand then.#like it wasnt to demonstrate the machine. bc you already cut the wood in front of him. so like why are you playing games w me...#still tho that was a fucked up kill i was like damn. that would suck if it happened 2 me.#asks#movie diary
