#I don't really like biopics

[greatsaladavenue]

Two things about the upcoming Beatle Biopics I'd like to know, more than who'll be cast or anything else is it's said director Sam Mendes annouced that Sony Pictures had approved plans for biopics of each individual member of the band. through the eyes of each of its members; Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and the late John Lennon and George Harrison but two are dead and wont have say in anything so it's not gonna be fair. They should have only made a biopic of Paul and Ringo and the other would be called based on.

My other thing is, we will propably, given how greedy Apple is, have to buy tickets for four movies. But are they gonna be released at the same time or one at the time? Or are we gonna be forced to buy four tickets to see them all.

i watched better man last night kind of expecting it to be silly but holy shit. highly recommend

[hexjulia]

instead of yet another movie about how the Bronte sisters died very tragically in a depressing but picturesque landscape...something about their Gondal fantasy world. it could be either very cheesy or very good doesn't really matter. It would at least be something else altogether! what matters is that instead of focusing on them looking tragic on the moors and whether or not they ever were in love it's all about intense shared imaginary worldbuilding and codependence.

maybe a little blurring of the imaginary and the real. the figures in the gondal poems filmed as if it's pure fantasy with a slow creeping in of more red tones as the tuberculosis sets in maybe. Or perhaps that's too obvious. Coughing subtly used (and only slowly becoming more recognisable as such) in the composition of the background music for the fantasy...whatever that may be cheesy. but something!!

you know I get that representation of something does not equal condoning it but releasing that Trump movie in an election year and deciding you had to make it while he was still in office is just complete clown behavior to me. like idk I don't even think it affected anything I just think that's such a weird way to act

[harmonicabisexuals]

i think everyone who is currently going cuckoo bananas about the timothee bob biopic needs to maybe smoke something and calm tf down lol. who cares if it's going to be terrible it's like a rite of passage for every great artist these days to have an absolutely unwatchable biopic! the beatles have several!! lets just have fun :)

[oleskellybones]

i got to try one of those super nice racing simulators last night and i think all the f1 tumblr girlies should make their own dashcon at one of these arcades

[daxite]

ok after watching oppenheimer i can safely say with confidence that 90% of people here clearly did not watch the fucking movie and those massive posts going around with thousands of notes are for the most part complete horsehshit lol 💀

#it’s ok you can say maestro#i’ve never seen more obvious oscar bait

@littlegreenfag GODD i have yet to see it but. yeah. i just finished watching Nyad and thinking damn i could've watched a documentary instead with the actual real people and probably felt more emotion.

hollywood will make the most bland uninspired biopic and put 3 big name actors in it and the academy shits themselves

[lizbethborden]

There really is no female Jeremy Allen White. He is an objectively weird looking man who is now considered a heartthrob and is playing Springsteen in a new biopic--that's a romantic hero role if ever there was one. I'm not saying that's bad or wrong but I am saying no woman who naturally looks as wonky as he does would have success like him. Like he is actually UGLIER than young Bruce was.

They UGLIFIED Bruce Springsteen by casting him.

Meanwhile, women in human reality like Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Gilda Radner, who HAD strong, distinct features like his, are being played by these people in fictionalized versions of their lives:

The fact that this is how history is choosing to remember these women is insane and bizarre. Truly, you cannot exist as a woman in public eye or public memory unless you are ornamental. Worse than ornamental, you must be generically ornamental, made on an assembly line, as female beauty often is now via plastic surgery.

I feel that this kind of commentary is not being made because it's politically suspect to talk about women's looks--and don't get me wrong, I understand what's at stake in terms of not just human emotion, but falling into misogynist traps. But we MUST recognize that this is a problem. It's one thing for fictional women with no basis in reality to be cookie cutter--not a good thing, but certainly a different thing. But for real women who actually existed to have their simple, natural, human characteristics erased and replaced with flavor of the month plastic surgeried generic Hollywood Female nonsense is disrespectful in the extreme. (Especially because Gilda Radner and RBG were Jewish and their Jewish features would have deeply impacted their lives.)

Okay in all the drama of yesterday's race I feel like we overlooked the F1 movie teaser and we need to talk about what the hell was going on in that.

So we start with 60yo racer Brad Pitt telling the audience and uh someone else that their car is beat on the straights by "Red Bull, Ferrari, Mercedes, Aston and now Mclaren" (as an Alpine fan I understand the plight) and that their only chance of beating the other teams is to battle in the turns and I quote "we need to build our car for combat" (never underestimate Americans and their ability to turn something into a war analogy)

After that bizzare statement the following exchange occurs:

Yeah fuck safety!! The FIA is actually involved with the making of this film if you're wondering.

From here on there isn't actually anymore dialogue and it's just a bunch of racing and track team shots set to 'We will Rock You'. It was here that it dawned on me that this movie is gonna be super bizzare. Despite all the noise about them filming on track at live race weekends it never occured to me the other drivers and teams would actually feature in it. I'm not even sure what I thought they were going to do but I assumed it would involve a lot of CGI.

But nope turns out this is actually just a strange self-insert film where an 11th team featuring 60yo Brad Pitt and his younger teammate will compete against real F1 drivers? The $300 million budget is starting to make sense - maybe they had to pay the other drivers a salary. I think one glaring problem with this is that it means there won't be other characters in the movie (excluding team members of the fake team) because the other drivers and team members are uh real people? Now that would be fine if it was a biopic like Rush where everyone are actors but here we have 2 actors and 20 real drivers (who are quite literally at work btw) and any interaction between them and the actors is gonna break the immersion of the film so badly.

Sidenote here's one of the Apex cars abusing a Williams - not the kind of behaviour that endears me to either of the fake drivers ngl. Probably should have picked a more disliked team to clown on.

Now I actually went and read an interview with the 2 directors to try and work out what is going on. At one point in this interview, Jerry Bruckheimer says: "It’s the only sport where your teammate is also your competitor, and that’s great drama in itself. Just think about that; you’re fighting with your own teammate for a place on the podium. And everything we use in the movie actually happened in an F1 race. Nobody can say: ‘That would never happen.’ It happened."

So in other words the teammates will fight and it will be based on real life events? Yeah unfortunately I'm getting Perez and Ocon in Force India vibes from that (those 2 shots pretty similar huh).

There was also this in the interview which is... I mean I don't really know what to take from this but it's certainly interesting. As an Ocon fan this quite literally strikes fear into my heart (why was he of all drivers named...) but we'll have to wait and see I guess.

river phoenix and keanu reeves talking about each other

"I've always loved you, River. River is my best friend and I don't have many of them." - Keanu "That's really sweet, Keany." - River

"Every evening that we don't spend together we're on the phone." - Keanu

"He's beautiful, inventive, funny and creative, too." - Keanu

"I really would like to do Shakespeare with River. I think we’d have a hoot. We could do A Midsummer Night’s Dream or Romeo and Juliet." - Keanu "I’ll be Juliet." - River

"Meeting River was a revelation." - Keanu

"There was a lot of deep love." - River (about "Private Idaho")

"We brought good out in each other." - Keanu

"River's the best, he's a god, he's the king. I pray to the church of River Phoenix!" - Keanu

"(After a long silence) River was an exceptional person, incredible. Where is my Juliet? Bullshit. Fuck! (After another long silence) He was a really good guy." - Keanu

"I don't have any friends in the business. Just River. Oh where, oh where has my Juliet gone?" - Keanu

"I don't know what I'm going to do when I get older, do you, Keany?" - River "I'd like to maybe get a boat someday and sail around. Maybe I'll settle down and I'll raise a family. I've always wanted kids." - Keanu "I didn't know that --" - River "You never asked, dude." - Keanu "I really want kids too." - River

"It’s weird speaking about him in the past. I hate speaking about him in the past. So I almost always gotta keep it present." - Keanu

"I liked the guy and wanted to work with him." - River

"Keany, he's a sweetheart. People don't understand him." - River

BONUS: "Keanu and River were kind of soulmates, they had known each other for a few years… but they were." - Gus Van Sant

BONUS: "Suddenly he and Reeves are off, excitedly exploring the possibility of doing Shakespeare together. They stand nose to nose- Phoenix newly bleached blond as part of his bid to play the young Andy Warhol in a future Van Sant biopic, Reeves dark-haired and tanned- like positive and negative images of each other. They sustain their banter throughout the meal, as one interrupts the other, but only to complete his thought." - Interview Magazine

BONUS: "I watched how Keanu grieved. And oh, did he grieve for his friend. He’s very private, but he couldn’t hide that. And just to see that a man like that was able to grieve. And I remember thinking, God, if that’s the tip of the iceberg of his depth, and his level of love and care for a friend—that just draws you in." - Sandra Bullock

BONUS: "Talking about Phoenix, Reeves has one of what he calls his “excellent panic attacks”, and his china-doll complexion becomes whiter than white; his brown eyes turn black. Time to change the subject." - SKY Magazine

It's been 16 days since I saw the 2024 film "Better Man," about British pop star Robbie Williams, and I can't think about anything else. There is a demon inside of me, possessing me, taking over my mind and body, so that instead of saying normal things to people, like "How's your week been?" or "The weather's been so cold lately!" I say things like, "Hi! I can't stop thinking about the 2024 film 'Better Man,' about British pop star Robbie Williams but he's played by a chimpanzee. I really wanna see it in theaters again but they took it out and I'm so mad!" or "Have you heard of British pop star Robbie Williams? No, not Robin Williams, Robbie -- so, basically, he has a new brilliant biopic out where he's played by a CGI ape and it made me cry!"

The longest I've gone without listening to a Robbie Williams song in the past 72 hours is the 7 hours when I was asleep last night - I fell asleep listening to "Angels" live at Knebworth and woke up and immediately put on "Come Undone."

I had some friends over today for the first time in a month and I sat them down and showed them several Robbie Williams music videos by way of greeting.

I wish I could function normally again but every time I close my eyes I see him... that CGI chimpanzee doing cocaine and heroin and beefing with the Gallaghers and singing "My Way" in a reconciliatory moment... free me from my curse, but also don't, because I need more people to see the light and go watch this goddamn movie.

Thoughts on moon placements

!! everything is based purely on my experiences with signs, written with no other purpose than to share my observations and be unserious.

Aries moon. Will ask you a question and leave midway through u answering it just cuz little men in their head pushed a new button on the emotions console, inside out style. If they feel some type of way be sure everyone in the room will also feel it. Great at destroying social harmony. 

Taurus moon. Brick wall banging against which you risk irrevocably damaging ur head. Usually deal with stress or any negative emotions by falling asleep. Insanely bad at moving on from anything.

Gemini moon. Find an outlet for your thoughts and ideas and it better not be that one poor friend that is too nice to stop your rambling. Anxiety ride from the moment they wake up till the moment they fall asleep if they actually manage to. Never have a firm stance on anything. 

Cancer moon. If they feel sad they can suck the life out of the air. Feel a lot and usually stop at that. Somehow kinda bad at reflecting. Some of them could really benefit from rationalizing their emotions. Like to reminisce a lot. 

Leo moon. Every day is a Miss Universe contest. Don't understand the concept of putting yourself in someone else’s shoes. Live life like they’re being filmed for a biopic about them. Get offended easily. Having too many ego deaths on a daily basis bless them. 

Virgo moon. Invented anxiety and hating things. Genuinely think they are smarter than everybody but like to ignore the fact that they’ve been stuck in the loop of the same problems for a couple of years. VEry unstable self-esteem. 

Libra moon. Appear very carefree to the point of care actually not existing in their world I think. Like cute things and cute feelings. Dislike ugly things and ugly feelings. Shine best when surrounded by people and are needed by someone. 

Scorpio moon. If mood swings were a moon placement it’d be this one. Cutting ur hair at 3 am moon. Everything is profound and deeply personal. Identity crisis during a bus ride home. Being nonchalant is a hoax. 

Sagittarius moon. 3 minute emotional life cycle. Consider feeling down a random virus they caught somewhere and not a genuine state of being. Cure themself to the natural optimistic disposition by blowing up to someone’s face and proceeding to go with their day unbothered.   

Capricorn moon. Incapable of giving approval or being positive about anything. See three steps forward except only for the situations going wrong. Hence dissociate when they’re supposed to feel happy. The soul leaves their body when entrapped by loud people. 

Aquarius moon. Have ideas about feelings. When exposed to simple emotional stimuli fall into a theoretical spiral. Like to look for the signs and parallels. Without a social circle are like fish without water. 

Pisces moon. Kid lost in the mall vibe. Dreamed a more exciting life and are living it. Need alone time to survive but also kinda hate it?? Always care, would lose at the speed of light in the idgaf war. Do art please.
