#To be or not to be

[penny-virsd]

I actually have a pencil who was owned by William Shakespeare at some up.

He used to chew on it a lot,

so now I can't tell if it's 2B or not 2B.

I was just stuck at a red light behind a cybertruck when its taillights began flickering out of control and for a split second I legitimately thought "this is how I die, on inauguration day in a cybertruck explosion. Figures."

I didn't die, but I honestly don't know if that's better or worse.

Omg my English class is doing a directing project on Hamlet so I did the best thing ever, I casted Hugh Dancy as Hamelt and not have the chance to explain why he is such a perfect fit for the paper. The writer block is sooo gone

I'm half asleep but I have a quick question for you my dears

I'm just not sure... but this Tumblr acc was created like centuries ago (11 years to be precise) and was named after Karkat from Homestuck btw xD

in case anyone wants ot join Sammi and I, we're about to watch a movie from World War 2 about World War 2 called "To Be Or Not To Be"! Kind of random BUT it's a comedy made by a exiled jewish german director in 1942

Really need to blame @ryannorth for all my parenting successes. My six-year-old grabbed To Be or Not to Be off my bookshelf at random. She likes to show me all the murders. She asks me if things in daily life are "super rad." She wants a sword for Christmas so she can drop her old one and say "it sucks now." She made me do math in the car to find an alternate timeline. I have explained words like "debris" and "badass" to her. Yesterday we spent an hour fighting pirates together in choose-your -own-adventure format.

It's been two months since this started. Don't send help. It's awesome. Like totally awesome. Though the book is getting worn out.

DANIEL BRÜHL'S FILM RECOMMENDATIONS

Danny is such a cinephile I thought I'd compile all his film recommendations in one resource post (and maybe branch out to TV shows and songs after). He personally set me on the Alain Delon path and while I found Rocco And His Brothers too melodramatic for my taste, I've seen six other Delon films that just blew me away—Le Samouraï one of them.

He often cites inspirations when preparing for a project but I've been very careful to add only those he outright praises. Sometimes, you only like a certain aspect of a film—perhaps the aesthetic or the pacing—and not the film as a whole. Knowing how drastically tastes can change over the years, I also didn't include those he mentioned loving when he was still young, like Pulp Fiction or Festen. He could still like those but I just didn't want to make the assumption. Anyhoo, contributions (with sources) are most welcome. Will update this list with every addition. He's mentioned WAY more, these are just the verified ones.

MOVIE LIST WITH SOURCES:

To Be Or Not To Be (1942)

Shoeshine (1946)

Le Samouraï (1967)

The Things of Life (1970)

Past Lives (2023)

p.s. Spanish speakers, can you clarify something for me? In THIS VIDEO, does he mean Sunset Boulevard the 1950 movie OR the 2021 documentary? Also, am I right in adding Les Choses De La Vie (The Things of Life) to this list?

"To be, or not to be, that is the question: Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing, end them. To die, to sleep⁠— No more, and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to; ’tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep⁠— To sleep, perchance to dream—ay, there’s the rub, For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause; there’s the respect That makes calamity of so long life: For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, Th’ oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely, The pangs of despis’d love, the law’s delay, The insolence of office, and the spurns That patient merit of th’ unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin; who would fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscover’d country, from whose bourn No traveler returns, puzzles the will, And makes us rather bear those ills we have, Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus conscience does make cowards of us all, And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pitch and moment With this regard their currents turn awry, And lose the name of action.—Soft you now, The fair Ophelia. Nymph, in thy orisons Be all my sins rememb’red." — Hamlet, 3.1.56
