crying hours, thread carefully

chani loves her planet, her people, her home, so much. she wants to see it free, healthy. she wants that green paradise silgard and the followers dream of too. imagine how much it pains her to see them waiting for a solution to their problems when they themselves could be it.

chani loves paul so much. "you won't lose me as long as you stay who you are". she is worry of strangers, but this man earned not only her trust and respect but her love as well. imagine her pain when he takes advantage of her people's religion. her pain when he shattered her heart, telling her he loves her still than proposing to irulan.

and imagine her pain when they win and paul doesn't stop there. he starts a holy war with her people as canon meat. a war arrakis (dune) shouldn't be part of because there is nothing in it for them. and not only that, but he promises to marry another stranger. having her people be led by two foreigners who don't – can't – fully grasp their ways. their love and care for dune. their respect for fighters and fighting and their people that goes so far they don't use the dead ones water, no matter how much they'd need it. a war that already took her home (the destruction of the fountains) and it only promises more pain to come.

Please someone, take Barry Keoghan's phone.

SALTBURN is out on Prime and the main takeaway that people are seemingly taking from it is that Jacob Elordi is too damn tall.

Emerald Fennell speaks to Esquire UK about the film's final act and gives her fantasy alternate ending.

Nice thought, but it would have robbed me of the absolute beautiful pain of Oliver gaining wealth but ultimately not having what he wanted.

This fcking guy.

Felix, you were weak in the knees! Should have stood up!

-Rosamund just need one more shot like this. Preferably with Eiza Gonzalez.

there was truly a very unexpected number of explicit on-screen deaths in puss in boots the last wish. an unexpected number of swears also

Ok so, I haven't seen anyone, let alone Alex Hirsch, talk about this but the 'Dreamscaperers' episode was absoutely inspired by/named after the 1984 sci-fi movie 'Dreamscape, right?

The movie is all about going into peoples heads on a mission to save/help them. Gravity Falls has a bunch of Sci-fi movie references, after all, so I would be really shocked if this wasn't one-

Finished Saltburn and I have one thing to say— Fuck you Oliver. Your boyfriend Felix? Meh, I can forgive. But ELSPETH?? Fuck you. And not in a good way.

Anyone still get sad about Encanto or Turning Red?

Like they really hit home with me, like I cry every time at the emotional points. I love these movies, so much I want more of them. They have such a unique style to them. Another film that gets me in the gut is Nimona, a must watch. Also Also WolfWalkers is a good movie! Its animation looks amazing, and the music is top-notch, but also got that family/found family points in it!

DUDDE I just finished seeing Lisa Frankenstein in THEATERS and it was sooooo good, it was stupid and romantic and silly AND AAAAAA I LOVED IT!!

I think what made the tbosas film such a mind-blowing experience for me was how naturally the setting of the prequel was interpreted as a 'period piece' on-screen.

The concept of an alternate-universe-period-piece is already a kooky idea, but it genuinely felt like we were looking back into a past time, in the costuming, the technology, even the colour correction. I was just really really impressed with the execution of the idea. It would have been all to easy present everything in the Capitol setting as similar to that of the original films but slightly crustier, but instead they truly thought about origin points for capitol fashion, technology, geography, etc. It just makes the visual transition from the tbosas film to the thg films that more fluid.

percy learning that by burning food you comunicate with unseen, absent, "ghosty" beings and imediately doing it alone to talk to his presumed dead mother is so in tune with his age and personality

The next break Luca Marinelli gets will be well deserved because he's putting in that work at the Venice Film Festival for M. IL FIGILIO DEL SECOLO and it's not even in competition! Yet, be that as it may, Luca was still feted : he was awarded the FRED Film Radio Film Award for his contribution to Italian and international cinema.

In an interview on the station, he dedicated the award to his late grandfather who passed away when Luca was 14. He said while his grandfather was a carpenter whose specialty was joining, versus using nails, Luca feels he learned a lot from him as that's how he sees being an actor - a coming together.

Besides the FRED Film Radio interview, there is the official panel for the limited series and a slew of other interviews with Luca alone and with his director Joe Wright. Luckily, for non-Italian fans, the majority of the videos have auto-caption enabled so you can tweak the translation to your language. There's also the print interviews.

There are rave reviews for the series and Luca's performance.

And there's the red carpet. Luca's day and night looks are fascinating.

Bravo Luca!

LUCA AT VENEZIA

The Great Greta Garbo

Glamorous, compelling, and ever so famous was the iconic movie star, Greta Garbo. She graced Hollywood in the 1920s and 1930s with films like “Wild Orchids” and “The Kiss.” Altogether, she starred in thirty-three films and captivated men and women alike.

Greta was born Greta Lovisa Gustafsson on September 18, 1905 in Stockholm, Sweden and died April 15, 1990 in New York City at the age of 84 to pneumonia. Her childhood was that of poverty where her family lived in the slums. Her father was an itinerant laborer and didn’t earn much money to give his family the life he wanted for them to have. When Greta was old enough to work, she took various positions to help ease the strain of supporting the family.

One fateful day, film director Erik Petschler saw Greta and was mesmerized with her beauty after seeing her in a commercial advertising women’s clothing and he offered her a small role in his 1922 film “Peter the Tramp.” She was bitten by the acting bug and she started school at the Royal Dramatic Theater in Stockholm. She landed a major role in a 1925 Swedish movie “Gösta Berlings Saga” (The Saga of Gösta Berling). The director, Mauritz Stiller changed her birth name to Garbo as he felt it was fitting and becoming for her unique beauty. Seeing her potential, he negotiated with MGM (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) Studios in Hollywood and secured her a contract. Louis B. Mayer had doubts about Greta’s screen performance until the release of her first American 1926 film “The Torrent.” Her lustrous glow and the fluidity of how she moved impressed Mayer so much so that he gave her an exclusive contract.

1930’s “Anna Christie” was Greta’s first sound film. The movie was marketed with “Garbo talks!” She would earn three Oscar nominations for best actress for her performances in “Anna Christie,” “Camille,” and for “Ninotchka.” She never did win, but she did receive an Honorary Academy Award in 1955. She won the New York Film Critics Circle Award for best actress for her performance in 1935’s Anna Karenina. Her last film was “Two-Faced Woman” in 1941 and it received bad reviews that greatly humiliated her. Her acting life halted despite offers for other films after the movie flop.

Greta never married nor did she have children. Her first romance was with her often co-Star John Gilbert. In her latter years, she had a relationship with Leopold Stokowski, conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra. It’s rumored that she had an affair with Russian-born millionaire George Schlee, stealing him from his wife. It’s specualted that Greta was bisexual, some would claim she was predominantly lesbian, but no one could confirm that. Though she appeared in events, she disliked the feeling uncomfortable acting like a socialite because it wasn’t who she was.

Greta would live the remainder of her life in a New York City apartment. She was an honored guest in the White House and She received treatment for breast cancer and would have dialysis treatment at a local hospital where she would later die from pneumonia. She will always be regarded as one of the most beautiful and graceful women that gifted us with her talent.

Until next time, Aloha oe.
