Patrick Wilson’s range is so insane to be honest

I will always find it super inspiring and cool how Damien Leone did everything in his power to bring his special little guy to the big screen. I understand him.... Also Art's design is just SO cool it makes me sooo happy when people who aren't into horror recognize him like it makes me so proud. Yessss look at the characterrr....

Just got back from seeing Insidious for Blumhouse's Halfway To Halloween event.

There was an extremely sweet foreword from both Jason Blum and James Wan right before it started, expressing gratitude to all the fans who've helped solidify Insidious as a part of Blumhouse's Legacy over the years, among other things. And a cute story of how James, and his Editor Kirk Morri, edited the entire film together in his home on the kitchen counter with a small macbook.

Really wasn't expecting anything like that. It just really set the tone and made the viewing all the more special. I remember seeing it in theaters all those years ago, but that just brought it to a whole other level and made it feel like I was seeing it for the first time again. 😊

In the event that any of the Bats spot Space Emperor Tim's collection of dishes with his and his life partners' faces on them, unlikely but not impossible since while Tim keeps them away in his cupboards in his Nest his family is a group of nosy bitches on the best days, then he straight up lies and claims they're either from Etsy or, depending on the ugliness, they were made by Anita's kids/parents who made them at a craft center event. Or even that Greta or Anita made them. Greta and Anita will absolutely back up Tim's story on this and one or both of them might even take a pottery class (if Tim pays for it) and make hilarious dishes to add to the YJ collection. Or they'll find some random tumblr or tiktok or etsy crafty person and commission the earth based artist (again, Tim pays for it) to help Tim sell the bit. Greta, Anita, and Cissie may not be active heroes but they are still ride or die for their team. None of the others in YJ has anyone in their lives that would be that nosy about their funny dishes. Cassie's mom knows. She has visited the empire once and is hailed at the imperial dowager empress. She's considering retiring there.

Keep in mind that while there is absolutely 100% gorgeous merch depicting baby space emperor obi wan kenobi robin red robin zesti overlord patron dolly parton Christopher Rupert Windemere Vladimir carl alexander Francois Reginald Lancelot Herman Gregory James and his life partners and the imperial group absolutely purchases some of the stuff they think is prettiest and displays the pretty stuff in the various residences that once belonged to various space tyrants they overthrew and now belong to them, but the only stuff they bring back to earth with them are the things that they find the funniest/ugliest and that they don't mind if it breaks because some jerk broke in and there was a fight.

Tim's emperor name is so long, and that's the way it should be.

The backup plans Tim has come up with are very detailed. Of course he'd have like 5 different ways to hide those facts from the family just in case it ever came up.

The idea of YJ hoarding away the pretty merch in their various space properties for protection is adorable. Just them cherishing the adoration given to them by their fans and wanting to keep those tokens safe. They probably had several debates on which pieces can go to Earth in case they get destroyed. They want the mementos of how they are appreciated when they return home, but they also acknowledge these particular items are thus more likely to be damaged.

@jegulus-microfic | january 1, prompt: decent | word count: 1.366 featuring bodyguard regulus black and multi-billionaire heir james potter

“I am not here to be your friend, Mr. Potter.”

There's a crease marring Regulus' forehead, hidden just behind the curl of his sable strands, sculpted brows knitted into a censorious frown. It indicates his internal turmoil well enough, showing just how hard he's struggling to gauge the extent of reprimand he can justifiably express, given his position as the head of James Potter's security team, which still remained a subordinate one at that.

There’s the cocky cant of James’ head as he tries and ward off the smile threatening to quirk at his mouth’s corners. It had taken a decent amount of brainstorming, planning, and persuading to get Regulus to comply—have him begrudgingly acquiesce to the idea of accompanying James inside the club as a more hands-on approach to extending security, even though the former’s constant presence was painstakingly redundant in a heavily monitored club as Godric. But James had pushed his luck even then, insisting Regulus keep wearing his body and thigh holsters, convincing him the ‘streetwear chic’ would be greatly appreciated by the club’s dressing code and grant them easy entrance (as if any club would deny James Potter out of all people, a multi-billionaire heir and continent-renowned philanthropist.). 

The straps of the harness glitter underneath the fluorescent strobes of vibrant purple, though nothing as piercingly brilliant as the dangerous glint catching the edges of Regulus’ withering glare. 

Ah, fuck.

James traces the sugar-coated rim of his glass, biting down on his tongue, only loosened further by the nth cocktail he’s consumed as he speaks with a beguiling drawl, “But I don’t want you to be my friend, Regulus.” 

Life is unfair. Let alone that he lives in a penthouse situated on London’s South Bank overlooking the River Thames or that he can afford designer wear not recognizable by most seeing how James Potter wears quiet luxury clothing brands like Gran Sasso and their perfectly manufactured cashmere sweaters or his current thousand-and-three-hundred quid shirt by Bottega Veneta that’s missing a button at the front with how much he’s been puffing his chest in attempts to draw the attention of his unfairly hot bodyguard.

 Because Regulus Black is just it. Black hair meticulously combed so smoothly, inky-black ringlets curling around his face—complexion milk-white and skin undoubtedly just as soft to touch if James was given the chance. Lithe but possessing swift reflexes and at least seven black belts in seven different martial arts that don’t mandate physical strength. Just three days ago, James had seen him throw a man almost three times his size over his shoulder with effortless ease, and how badly James had wished it had been him being tossed around.

The past months have been torturous, especially when Regulus wore his white button-up, that specific white button-up that stretched around his torso, accentuated his small waist, made only smaller when the straps of his harness clung to his chest. And his legs, those fucking long legs, clad in black dressing pants that made the swell of his ass all the more prominent, like a peach. James wanted to fucking squeeze it and devour the pulp left behind, slurp it like an animal that needed to be caged.

Whether it’s the words or the uncurbed lust he’s exuding, Regulus’ features rearrange into something far more complicated. He sucks on his teeth, squints his eyes, and then casts his gaze back into the crowd—the moving masses of bodies lost to the thrum of music.

“No,” he answers from behind the curve of his drink.

James smiles. He’s got him.

“No?” he asks, scooting closer, shit-eating grin only growing wider when Regulus makes no move to increase the distance between them.

“It’s highly unprofessional and breaks every code of conduct I strictly maintain. Not to mention, you’re my employer and—”

“And you want me.” Because he hasn't missed the glances exchanged between them and will be damned if he doesn't do anything about it.

Regulus coughs, sending drops of whisky flying across because Regulus Black is the type of man to drink something so old-school in a club. “What?” he sputters

James shrugs, an act that makes the fabric around his shoulders stretch thin, and does not miss how Regulus’ gaze briefly flits to the sliver of cleavage showing behind the missing button. “Right now you’re just listing reasons that, on contract, prevent any sort of intimacy between us, but if there weren’t any there, you would want this.”

“You’re being highly presumptuous,” Regulus scoffs.

“No, I’m good at reading people.”

“I am paid to guard you,” Regulus deflects.

This, he saw coming.

“Oh, it’s a money thing then?” James asks, reaching into his pocket to retrieve his wallet. He flips it open and thumbs through the wad of bills stashed in the compartment. “That’s fine, I can pay.”

This, however, also doesn’t have its desired effect. Regulus makes a face, downright spiteful this time, and does inch away from him, glass slamming onto the counter so hard James fears it might shatter. “What— So now you treat me like a prostitute?”

“What?” James asks, brows furrowed in confusion. He looks at Regulus, his wallet, back at Regulus and— 

James Potter, an Oxford graduate, top-of-his-class, can also be a massive idiot.

“Oh— Oh, no— Shit, I didn’t mean— No!” He’s fumbling for words and his wallet, almost dropping it in the act of trying to put it away, nearly releasing it when he misses tucking it back in his pocket. “I just thought— Fuck, no, I’m sorry,” Regulus doesn’t look any more convinced and now James is very much panicking, thank you. “I— You know what, fuck it. Hi, I’m James Potter.”

Regulus looks like he’s having a stroke.

But James is insistent, waving his hand like the gesture will dismiss the awkward, terribly embarrassing interaction from just seconds prior. “Can I get you a drink?”

Regulus blinks at him, then his extended hand, and drags a palm down his face, pinching his nose bridge and breathing in deep.

But James is nothing if nothing stubborn. “Must’ve had a long day, huh? Need an ear?”

“I got a boss that’s stupid as fucking rocks,” Regulus mutters, and oh, James swoons. No one ever dared call him stupid or insult him in this manner, and he might just discover something about himself tonight.

“Yeah, what else?”

Regulus down the remnants of his whisky before raising his glass. “I need a refill for that”

The refill comes quick and this time, James doesn’t feel too scared about bridging the gap between them bit by bit. “So this boss of yours…” he starts, because he’s already a little tipsy and on a streak of dauntless moves. “Is he hot?”

Regulus rolls his eyes. “He’s okay.”

“Oka—” James starts, bridling, before he catches a sight of the subtlest of smirks. Then, excitement, coiling down his spine like a lick of flame kindled further by the challenging gaze Regulus looks at him with. “I think you’re selling him short.”

“He’s arrogant, I don’t think I could bear him with an ego that’s any more inflated.”

“Oh, but you wound him. He’s been trying very hard to be noticed these past couple of months. Even started waking up early to catch glimpses of a certain someone that moved in with him for work purposes.”

Regulus makes a face that reads like ‘Is that the fucking reason why you have been putting your alarm on 4:30 a.m. in a pathetic effort to catch a glimpse of me preparing for the day and trying to be an unnoticeable presence in your life because that’s expected of me as head of security?’ and James smiles like he’s trying to say ‘Yeah, I did. Seeing you drink coffee, freshly showered, is worth it even if I struggle to stay awake during meetings in the afternoon.’

Regulus quirks an eyebrow. “Why is he trying to be noticed by me?”

James links a leg around Regulus’ bar stool and yanks it closer, relishing in the little gasp that leaves his lips as a result. Their legs bump, James’ knee sliding inside Regulus’ thigh, coming to a rest against it.

“Why spoil the fun by talking? I could just show you instead.”

How do you feel about the rumors of a new Nightwing and Red Hood movie?

Oh it's not just a rumor, James Gunn has confirmed that it's happening.

I'm excited by the premise of it, especially since it won't be DC's usual animation style. I just looked at Swaybox, the New Orleans based company that's making the film with puppets, and I'm really impressed by their sets and such. Still, I'm not the biggest fan of puppets, but I do appreciate the process that goes into making a film with them.

As for the story itself, I find this AU to potentially be fun and interesting. Like I said in another post, it's kind of giving me Fox and the Hound vibes. I was also watching Anakin edits last night, and now that I'm thinking back on it, Obi-Wan's, "You were my brother, Anakin. I loved you," seems like it could be fitting for this Dick and Jason story, depending on how far they take things with Jason and his differing views. Probably a bit extreme for this movie though. Well. Maybe. We shall see. They very well could reconcile at the end of it all.

Since this is an AU, I'm not going to be super strict about Dick and Jason's backstories (unless they did something absolutely insane like give Dick Jason's backstory and vice versa, which like, why tf would they do that lmao, but you get what I mean). That also means I'm not gonna throw a fit if Dick and Jason happen to be closer in age or get taken in by Bruce around the same time. Again, it's an AU, I feel like there's more room to play with certain details like that. This doesn't sound like it's the type of movie for biblically accurate canon.

Sure, there are some concerns that could crop up (as Kalen aka bigskydreaming so helpfully pointed out to me (how dare you, Kalen, how daaare!)). But until more info comes out about the movie, I'm just gonna chill. (Cut to me in X amount of months/years being like, "Why are they doing that, that's so fucking stupid!" lmaooo).

[bellarkeselection]

Would love an Obi Wan x reader where maybe she's pregnant (or some family aspect) and is in danger or something?? Just would like a protective obi wan/ family angst, lol.. thanks.

Everything I Need Is In You

"Stay away from me, Obi. I know when I am not wanted now that I am carrying your child in my belly!" I shouted back stomping through his small flat of his house in the desert of Tattoine. We have been together for almost ten years since the jedi order had fallen and the empire took over the galaxy. He runs after me until we ended up outside gently managing to grab my wrist spinning me around where I was facing him. "Y/n, wait. I'm sorry that I shouted at you. I...it's just I am not used to needing to look out for someone I care about. It's been ten years since I have really given my heart to anyone." His blue eyes had some tears slipping down his telling me he was actually serious about this.

Obi-wan and I had met at the small bar when he first landed on this planet. I could read that he was completely broken from the man he used to be. I was friends with some of the other jedi that were killed so I could relate to what he was feeling. That is what brought us together - both searching for something new in our lives. "Obi-Wan I don't understand. How can you say you don't want the baby one second and then another you are acting like you have to?" Shaking my head at him I was more confused than ever. He moved his hand from my wrist to cradle my cheek and I leaned into his palm. "Because I feel this need to protect you and this child. I didn't do a good job with that ten years ago...so I don’t want to mess it up. Cause I enjoy you and me together as a team."

“Then we can be scared of the unknown together, Kenobi. You, me and this child of ours. We can make it through this life on this desert plan better than it has been..plus I always believed that you would be a good father after the way you would be around the younglings.” He wrapped his arms around me gently where I clutched the fabric of his old robes he wore. He kisses my hair on the crown of my head pulling me back inside the small house since we knew the sand people were dangerous. We both laid back down in the bed listening to the others heartbeat and the sound of the sandy wind outside the windows until I felt Obi shift and reach for something from the table beside the bed. “Y/n, I know this might be sudden but I do care about you a lot. Yet if you will have me will you become my wife?” He shows me a sliver ring that had a tiny star engraved on it. Leaning forward I kissed him letting him slip the ring on my hand. “Yes, I will gladly become Mrs. Kenobi.” He smiled kissing me running his freehand through my loose hair.

‘Saw’: A Modern Film classic.

To talk about the influence that the first ‘Saw’ movie had on movies as a whole quite an undertaking. Its immediate reach is

obvious but its influence can still be felt and seen to this day.

What's the last thing you remember?

To talk about ‘Saw’ as a milestone let's first talk about what came before it. We won’t go into the entire history of Horror movies (I could, don’t tempt me) but let’s go right before Saw released.

Wes Craven’s ‘Scream’ (1996) ushered in self-aware horror. It was a movie that drew focus to horror tropes while still being an incredible slasher movie. So many movies afterwards would riff on the idea of being a “wink and a nod” to moviegoers. It’s easy to forget that the movie which pioneered this on a big scale was ‘Scream’.

‘The Blair Witch Project’, released in 1999, opened the door for movies with an incredibly low budget to not only be seen as legitimate but as major motion picture worthy.

‘The Ring’, released 2 years earlier than Saw in 2002, proved that a very effective horror movie can exist while getting a rating of PG-13. You could do more with less. Although R-rated horror were still prevalent it certainly widened the horror playing field.

I want to play a game.

Saw was released in 2004 with a budget of around 1.2 million dollars. Calculating for inflation that brings the budget to a little over 2 million dollars in current currency. Putting that into perspective the average major studio movie budget is anywhere from 65 million on a low end to 100 million and above nowadays.

Something to keep in mind about Saw is that it did not look as polished as other big budget movies. Saw looked like a grungy indie movie instead of a big budget movie which audiences were used to at the time. Another factor is that with this movie, then first time director, James Wan’s skill was apparent.

Much like with ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ (1974), we don’t directly see a lot of the gore in Saw. We see bodies, quick camera cuts, shaking, and sped up footage but a lot of the direct violence is not on screen. What is implied takes root in your mind to make your imagination do a lot more of the work than the director could.

Let the game begin.

After ‘Saw’ there were a lot more dark and gritty horror movies that flourished like ‘Hostel’ and ‘The Strangers’. ‘Saw’’s insistence on following it’s characters and learning about their stories can also be seen in high concept horror like ‘It Follows’. It launched a subgenera of movies: “torture/gore porn”. I think those movies are an interesting and important commentaries on the time the exist in but they were spurred on by the success of ‘Saw’.

Let’s now step outside of movies entirely. You know what else sparked in popularity after ‘Saw’? Escape Rooms. I love Escape Rooms. They were certainly a thing before the ‘Saw’ movies but the popularity of them has gone up after. The original ‘Saw’ basically revolves it’s main plot around the idea of an escape room after all.

Live or die, make your choice.

I am biased. I love the ‘Saw’ franchise and think the original ‘Saw’ movie should be appreciated for the long reaching impact that it has. Hopefully in reading (or skimming) this you were also able to see some of that.

Take care everyone.

[ormymarius]

james wan is so real for putting patrick wilson in the insidious, conjuring, and aquaman movies

[oliman]

This is just a quick appreciation post for James Arnold Taylor the voice of Obi-Wan and Plo Koon (among others) in The Clone Wars. I recently remembered that he was also the voice of Tidus in Final Fantasy X.

I couldn't have possibly used any other scene, I'm obligated by law.

But yeah, this is what range looks like. Total powerhouse of a voice actor and honestly at this point he's more Obi-Wan to me than Ewan McGregor, just like Mark Hamill is my Joker. Don't get me wrong, Ewan's amazing, but the Obi-Wan from The Clone Wars will always be the quintessential version for me.

Well done, James. You receive one masculine nod and a cute curtsy for good measure.
