La fama by Rosalía featuring The Weeknd - Directed by Julien Christian Lutz

Okay but why do I find it adorable that he has his pronouns displayed 🥹 probably cuz not many people his age understand pronouns and what not so it just automatically makes him 10x cuter 😩

When it’s his time to go I will literally be a wreck for like months.

WE MUST PROTECT HIM AT ALL COST

[marierg]

One of my favorite songs is from this film, (Is there anybody there), and it just resonates even today. A song sung by a man desperate to see his people free. a man who despite slander an verbal abuse, financial ruin and having to spend his children's early years away from home, KEPT AT THE FIGHT. my favorite part of that song and I quote, "I see Americans, ALL Americans, Free forever more!"

The play also made no bones about war or slavery. they had two songs and scenes in particular that stood out for this. Mama look sharp is a stirring song about the realities of war, and this was done around the Viet Nam Era. Then there is the scene where the north must compromise with the south in order to get the Declaration passed. everyone acknowledged that it was a "mark of Cain" and that it would leave a half a million souls in chains. It stated what had not dared and at times even today is not dared to be stated.

It brings a level of personalism to the story of the Declaration of Independence that may be hard for people to grasp at times. Please I implore you to go see this if you haven't!

A few of Far Cry 5’s characters’ former names (according to the files)

Did you know that some characters used to have different names? Here’s what I found:

Adelaide Drubman - Penny Johnson (I’m not sure; it’s unclear)

Casey Fixman - Casey Seagal or Casey Storm

Chad Wolanski - Chad Gardetto

Faith Seed - Selena Seed

George Wilson - George Beel

Guy Marvel - Guy Martel (headcanon: it’s still his name but he thought Marvel was a cooler name for a movie director)

Hurk Drubman Senior - Wayne Senior

Joseph Seed - Daniel Seed

Merle Briggs - Merle Clinton

Wilhelmina Mable - Wilhelmina Maybelline

Tammy Barnes - Tammy Palmer (was she supposed to be Eli’s wife? Maybe!)

Tracey Lader - Traci West

Virgil Minkler - Virgil Knutsen

Wendell Redler - Wendell Darrah

Xander Flynn - Bob Johnson (again, like for Adelaide, not sure)

Also, I’ve said this before but Deputy Pratt’s first name is actually Stacy and not Staci. In the files, it’s only not spelled Stacy once, in the end credits... which is also, unfortunately, the only time players had a chance to see it written.

According to the files, Larry Parker’s first name is Laurence, the man we meet near Arcade machines is Morris Aubrey, and the fisherman is Coyote Nelson… but his description in the unreleased in-game encyclopedia also implies he died, so that might be inaccurate.

Lyrics:

We couldn't turn around

'Til we were upside down

I'll be the bad guy now

But, no, I ain't too proud

I couldn't be there

Even when I tried

You don't believe it

We do this every time

Seasons change and our love went cold

Feed the flame 'cause we can't let it go

Run away, but we're running in circles

Run away, run away

I dare you to do something

I'm waiting on you again

So I don't take the blame

Run away, but we're running in circles

Run away, run away, run away

Let go

I got a feeling that it's time to let go

I say so

I knew that this was doomed from the get-go

You thought that it was special, special

But it was just the sex though, the sex though

And I still hear the echoes (the echoes)

I got a feeling that it's time to let it go, let it go

Seasons change and our love went cold

Feed the flame 'cause we can't let it go

Run away, but we're running in circles

Run away, run away

I dare you to do something

I'm waiting on you again

So I don't take the blame

Run away, but we're running in circles

Run away, run away, run away

Maybe you don't understand what I'm going through

It's only me

What you got to lose?

Make up your mind, tell me

What are you gonna do?

It's only me

Let it go

Seasons change and our love went cold

Feed the flame 'cause we can't let it go

Run away, but we're running in circles

Run away, run away

Songwriter:

I dare you to do something

I'm waiting on you again

So I don't take the blame

Run away, but we're running in circles

Run away, run away, run away

[whiskeyswifty]

In your opinion are Taylor’s self-written songs usually better than the ones she wrote with co-writers?

I think it really depends. I joke a lot about how I want her to work with more no-men who will edit her work, but if I’m serious about it I think it’s more WHO she works with and under what circumstances. Other than folklore, I don’t actually know how much she balances that workload and creative contribution and collaboration with the people she works with. and on top of that, sometimes a writing combo produces absolute ass and other times it's one of my favorite songs she's ever written, so it's really hard to make a generalization like that. she actually doesn't write as many songs all by herself in a locked room or whatever as much as people think.

Let's take Lover for example because it's very interesting to me:

-of the 18 tracks, she is the sole songwriter for only 3 songs; Lover, cornelia st, and daylight. Right off the bat, i'm 2/3 for enjoyment, mayyyybe 3/3 if i'm feeling generous, but both daylight and lover are mid to me, cornelia st being the strongest of this trio imo.

-There are 3 main songwriting groups she works with on this album. Joel Little is Group A. Jack Antonoff and friends is group B. And, rather forgettable, Louis Bell and Adam Feeney are Group C. Lets break down the track listing by those subgroups + her solo work.

Group A: The Man, MAATHP, YNTCD, ME!

Group B: Cruel Summer, The Archer, I think He Knows, Paper rings, DBATC, London Boy, Soon You'll Get Better, False God.

Group C: IFTYE, Afterglow, INTHAF

Solo Written: Lover, Cornelia St, Daylight

This is a great example of how difficult it is to say who produces the best work and who produces the worst with her, and if she's better off with co-writers or not. lets get into it.

For group A, i think pretty widely we can agree she didn't work with Joel Little again after this for a reason, so that's perhaps the only simple answer which is that their creative collaboration, for whatever reason, was extremely unsuccessful. However, that's Mr. Pure Heroine producer himself so a good example of how it might not be HIS fault that the songs were bad. nor her fault either, but proof that she alone cannot carry a song to success despite a co-writer, and proof that a cowriter can't save a shit song. he's clearly capable of creating incredible work, and so is she. just only with the right creative alchemy and chemistry which he and taylor clearly did NOT have.

Group B, Mr. Antonoff a troubled figure in my eyes but here really shines. the only song's i don't like in this group are Paper Rings and London Boy, which are also not top tier songs for most swifties and the genpop. not as hated as i hate them, but certainly not top performers. that gives jackie boy a 6/8 hit ratio which is pretty good, AND some of those songs are some of my favorite taylor songs of all time. now the question begs why are these such smashes and creatively compelling songs, and other (ahem later) work so lackluster? i don't know of course, but this might be a good example of how the alchemy and chemistry might be there, but as I said before circumstances are also key. at this point, several things have happened. since their first collaboration on 1989, jack has branched out and produced several genres of music for other artists and has grown his toolset, experience, and his confidence. also, this is taylor and jack's 3rd record together, and their rapport and shorthand and creative energy has likely strengthened and electrified by now to a very goldilocks zone you could say. both of them not exactly on top of the world so they still have something to prove, and they're at a point where they likely understand each other and are energized by each other, but aren't comfortable and complacent. it's hard to say definitively if thats true, but that's certainly how it can be positioned and how the quality of the output can be explained. once again, circumstances and timing!

Group C is very interesting, as i only like one of the 3, INTHAF, however it's weighted so heavily because its, imo, one of the most beautiful, interesting production wise, and completely original works taylor has ever made. This is perhaps a good example of something else that i wish taylor would do more, which is take creative risks and work with people who encourage those risks. Afterglow is more run of the mill for her, so we'll throw that one out. but IFTYE and INTHAF are both very outside the box for her. IFTYE is sung in a predominantly spoken word way, verrrrrry conversational, often speaking off beat. and maybe the only song similar to it is TIWWCHNT, but even then, the cadence is way more freeform and reactionary on IFTYE. while i find that song unsuccessful, that same freeform songwriting structure works WONDERS for INTHAF. the song is more of a 3 part poem, with a repeating single phrase but no real chorus (which she talked about being challenging for her when writing this song), and for miss pop formula that's a bold move. the whole song was an exercise in distilling a song down to only what is most necessary, forcing her to be incredibly purposeful and thoughtful with every word. again, some words are also sung on the downbeats, but they flow seamlessly because the instrumental of this song is just stunning and perfectly paired. also EXTREMELY out of left field and experimental for her. it has steel fucking drums!!!! which you typically find in tropical/Caribbean music which could not be further from her sound. and a trumpet solo!! which comes off almost jazzy that pairs so well with how the lyrics are also that kind of meandering, unstructured jazzy freeform for her. but the real killer is how for once, she holds back lyrically when it comes to scene setting. she's very reserved in what she shares and then lets the instrumental tell the story too. she gives you some information that the song starts with the story of children, but the children's choir comes BEFORE the lyrics start to already lay that thematic groundwork. they carry through the song and at the end, the children's choir doubles as further scene setting for the church where the subjects of the song get married. but even then, before the lyric about church bells comes in YOU HEAR ONE RING IN THE SONG!!! she's purposely holding back lyrically and letting the instruments fill in the gaps of the story, which is a method of songwriting that is almost cinematic in how sound effects and sound scapes tell the story just as much as the lyrics do. it's a great challenge for her as a songwriter and really pushed her creativity, forced her to think differently about what a song can be, and imo it produced phenomenal and completely original (for her) results. Clearly Group C challenged her and pushed her in new directions. the downside of that is with taking creative risks comes a high chance of failure, and while the other 2 songs are not failures totally, they're much less successful. but that's important still!! pushing her is important and it's the only way we get to great creative work that is new and exciting and important, so to me, the failures of Group C are worth it for the delicious success of INTHAF.

As for her solo work, i will say i enjoy Cornelia St. a lot, and Lover and Daylight are ok, but imo they're like almost fully baked. there are aspects of all 3 of them that could be pushed juuuuust a little further towards greatness. clunkiness that could be cleaned up, metaphors and turns of phrased that could be polished just a bit more until they really shine. compared to all 3 groups, clearly her solo work is better than Group A, and some of Group C, but i think falls short of a lot of Group B.

idk. on the whole, i guess i can conclude that her solo work these days, while some of her best work, doesn't seem to quite reach the greatness of work she's collaborated on that truly shines. so to make a broad statement yes, i prefer when she works with someone even just a little bit. i think she has raw, incredible talent and a great mind, but i love even more when people bring out new sides of that mind and that talent and show how much she can do, or help her trim the fat and show us the most seasoned and delicious work she has to offer. but as evidenced by Lover, it's not as clear cut as just she needs to work with someone and those will be better songs always. who and under what circumstances are going to be important and unfortunately impossible to predict. i can only hope that she will take away from folklore's insane success, combined with how it was entirely collaborative in a way she hasn't been in a long time, that creative collaboration that pushes her is a good thing. and she'll try to do more of it because midnights is incredibly creatively stagnant and stale. maybe her partnership with jack is getting stale, too complacent and they know each other too well. comparatively, her work with Aaron on Midnights are the best songs on the album imo. someone new, fresh, from a different world and someone who has the chemistry and alchemy that are hard to find, but the newness of their relationship clearly challenges her again. maybe that too will grow stale and she'll need fresh blood, and so on and so forth. i don't think that's her burning through people or that means she can't write songs on her own, of course not. i just tend to see creative work as greater than the sum of it's parts. it's about all these factors, some intentional and some accidental and circumstantial, coalescing together to produce something truly amazing, and there's no other way to do it. unfortunately it can't be replicated or turned into a factory line. there's an elusive magic to it, lightning in a bottle is how a lot of songwriters refer to it when a great song comes together in the studio. and all i hope for is that no matter how big her ego grows or how comfortable and easy working with the same people over and over can be, she remembers how magical it feels like when she manages to catch it and she will never grow tired of chasing it.

Avengers: Thunder (Unexpected Musical) — PattyCake Productions music video

Few movie franchises have had a greater impact on the film industry and online fandom in the 21st century than the MCU, particularly when the first Avengers movie brought together heroes from across the Marvel universe. So when PattyCake wanted to match the bombast of this Imagine Dragons banger, they turned to the larger-than-life characters from the silver screen.

Details:

title: Unexpected Musicals — Avengers: Thunder

performers: Jeremy James (Tony Stark / featured vocals); John Wright (Thor); Leah Lowman (Black Widow); Erich Dale (Captain America); Tony Flaherty (Star-Lord / featured vocals); Jackie Stressman Isham (Gamora / featured vocals); J.None (Black Panther / featured vocals); Skeet Karsgaard (Spider-Man); Billy Celiz (Iron Man double); Jason Tibbs (Black Panther double); Eli Jacobson, Tony Wakim, & Layne Stein (additional vocals)

original songs / performers: "Avengers theme" from The Avengers (2012); "Thunder" by Imagine Dragons; "Pray for Me" by The Weeknd, feat. Kendrick Lamar from Black Panther (2018)

written by: "Avengers theme" by Alan Silvestri; "Thunder" by Dan Reynolds, Wayne Sermon, Ben McKee, Daniel Platzman, Alexander Grant, Jayson DeZuzio, & Frederick Hansen; "Pray For Me" by Abel "the Weeknd" Tesfaye, Kendrick Lamar, Adam "Ging" Feeney, Jason "DaHeala" Quenneville, & Martin "Doc" McKinney

arranged by: Layne Stein & Tony Wakim

release date: 8 June 2018

My favorite bits:

reworking the Marvel Studios intro, complete with page-flip sounds

positioning Stark as the ♫ "young gun with a quick fuse" ♫

of course Thor gets the first iteration of ♫ "lightning before the thunder" ♫ as he should

Leah recreating Natasha's iconic landing pose

Star-Lord's little characteristic smirk

the slow bell chord under the end of Gamora's section

integrating the repulsors and blasters into the percussion

J.None spitting those Kendrick bars in T'Challa's accent

that unmistakable horn line under the choruses

sneaking in a nice animated Hulk silhouette

Trivia:

○ This video features a combination of familiar faces and new ones, but most are friends from the Orlando theme park performance community. Of the folks who hadn't appeared in previous PattyCake projects:

John and Erich are both longtime actors and stunt performers at Universal Studios.

Skeet is a costumer and special effects makeup tech.

Tony F. has performed in several vocal groups at both Universal Studios and Disney World. He was also a member of a cappella group Echo, who were VoicePlay's backups for their annual residencies in Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party at Disney World.

○ Although Tony Wakim usually makes all of PattyCake's costumes, this time he had help from some members of the local Guardians of Justice cosplay and volunteering group. That included Skeet wearing his own custom Spidey suit.

○ Several of the other superhero costume pieces and props for this video were created by Dynamic Duo Fabrications in Boston, another small business run by passionate geeks.

○ PattyCake had produced a handful of videos for groups from Jeremy's company, Entertainment Central Productions, so it was only fair that the guys pulled him into one of their own projects.

○ J.None kept his costume and used it for a kid's birthday party shortly thereafter.

○ This video is part of a loose pair celebrating Marvel and DC comic book movies with tracks from the latest Imagine Dragons album at the time. Its companion piece, "Batman: Whatever It Takes", was released a few weeks earlier.

Rock Paper Scissors- Worth the hype?

Hi :-) can I just start by saying it's definitely worth the hype? it was a definite 4 star read for me and one that kept me engaged till the very end.

So Rock Paper Scissors by Alice Feeney is a domestic thriller that I adored. It follows a married couple over a weekend getaway and if I'm honest it kept me wondering throughout. I definitely recommend it to you.

Book blurb

Think you know the person you married? Think again…

Things have been wrong with Mr and Mrs Wright for a long time. When Adam and Amelia win a weekend away to Scotland, it might be just what their marriage needs. Self-confessed workaholic and screenwriter Adam Wright has lived with face blindness his whole life. He can’t recognize friends or family, or even his own wife.

Every anniversary the couple exchange traditional gifts – paper, cotton, pottery, tin – and each year Adam’s wife writes him a letter that she never lets him read. Until now. They both know this weekend will make or break their marriage, but they didn’t randomly win this trip. One of them is lying, and someone doesn’t want them to live happily ever after.

Ten years of marriage. Ten years of secrets. And an anniversary they will never forget.

What I liked-

From the start I was making my own little conspiracy theories about what actually happened (all completely wrong in case you were wondering lol) and that kept me so engrossed in the book, I loved it.

The characters!!!! I loved getting these different perspectives, so very wildly different from each other I might add, and it was so cool when it all added up at the end and their little reactions made sense!!

The ending. Because genuinely, I had to go back and confirm that it was actually possible because I was so so sure it wasn't. But it was and it was so COOL how all the little details made sense.

Writing style 10/10. That's all I will say. I loved it.

Can I just gush over this book here? This is a fan post. Because I loved it so much and I'm now kind of wondering why I'm not rating it 5 stars lol. Maybe I'll re-read it and update my rating later.

Anyways, go check out this book!

this book… IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE

⚠️ THIS IS YOUR SPOILER WARNING ⚠️

OH MY GOD

ROBIN WAS THE ONE WRITING THE LETTERS ALL ALONG

THEY WERE MARRIED???!?

i feel like alice feeney did such an amazing job writing her twists, the last quarter of the book, my jaw was on the floor, my goodness

anygay, thank you for getting me out of my reading slump 🫶🏻

although i do have a few things that dropped this from a 5 ⭐️ to a 4 ⭐️

1. i hate the characters (except for robin, she was pretty cool) amelia and adam were awful to read, it was so hard to get through the first chunk of the book because of them. like they obviously didn’t love each other and they were so freaking annoying. it was truly hard to read because of them

2. they just kill amelia after she was confronted about adams moms death???? like she lunged at adam with a knife, then BOOM she was dead????

3. was adam actually the one who killed his mom???? cause if so that totally ruins the twist that it was actually amelia, and he had no right to get as mad as he did, like sure she was the one in the car and convinced him to drive… but he’s the one who actually hit her. that really made me mad ngl.

4. they just… got back together??!? that was so forced and rushed. like sure he had a rocky relationship with amelia but then, robin starts harassing them as a huge revenge plot, and they just fall in love again?! *insert “no ma’am” meme here*

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BILL!!

John Adams, Mr. Feeney. What a legend. We love you Bill.

[afieldofheather]

Things have been wrong with Mr and Mrs Wright for a long time. When Adam and Amelia win a weekend away to Scotland, it might be just what their marriage needs. Self-confessed workaholic and screenwriter Adam Wright has lived with face blindness his whole life. He can’t recognize friends or family, or even his own wife. Every anniversary the couple exchange traditional gifts – paper, cotton, pottery, tin – and each year Adam’s wife writes him a letter that she never lets him read. Until now. They both know this weekend will make or break their marriage, but they didn’t randomly win this trip. One of them is lying, and someone doesn’t want them to live happily ever after.
