Rewatching Three on a Match and it’s weird to see Bette Davis play what’s more or less a secondary character, the Pleasant Best Friend to Joan Blondell. Granted, it was early in her career, but if she’d made this movie in, like, four years then the roles would have been reversed.

Also, the little boy in this movie is Weapons Grade adorable.

Also, I might be mixing it up with Marked Woman (I haven’t watched either in a while) but I believe this movie has a really neat cut wherein one door closes and another opens pretty smoothly. Which will make it the second Joan Blondell movie I’ve watched today that contained an impressive scene transition.

(Also, this movie is actually pretty stark.)

Like, imagine the relief of cancelled plans, but what was cancelled was an event that you would have to work at and the pay depends on how well the event goes and - less than a week in advance - you know zero details about said event, up to and including what time you gotta be there. My upcoming weekend just got much less stressful.

(The thing is being postponed so they have time to...actually organize it, so feel free to take this as foreshadowing.)

My current go-to when I'm feeling indecisive is just...anything pre-code.

This uses the newspaper headlines thing so much, and I fucking love it.

Pencils Down has already become one of my favorite Game Changer episodes and it hasn't even been out for 24 hours

Prompt 295

So, maybe Danny should have been more specific when he said he wanted to get reincarnated, because this? Is not an ideal situation. 

See he’s fine with being a clone, really, but uh, apparently the scientists want to terminate him- which, like dude, he’s not even melting or actively dying! So what if he failed at their tests, his body is three, give him a break! 

Well, at least it’s given him certainty in getting out, because these are Not good people. He wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt and- hold up, another clone? Brother? Two brothers? One aged up, one in the middle of it- since his own aging-up failed past three? 

Oh hell no, they can’t experiment on his brothers, those are his brothers and living people just as much as he is! Time to break out- and he’s taking those papers thank you- and gonna’ grab his… he’s gonna’ call them his triplets because they’re the same age, just aged differently. 

Now hold his hand, they’re runnin’ to the mountai- oh thank fuck, the physically-oldest of them can fly. To the mountains while they have the cover of night and they can figure things out. At least his life isn’t boring yet…
