I need requests lol :3

Anyways i just watched the amazing digital circus and i love it!!

'With a face carved by the hands of Michelangelo himself, Cillian Murphy’s film presence seldom goes unneeded. The Irish actor isn’t Hollywood’s most recognizable leading man. He’s spent most of his career traversing from underrated role to underrated role, giving him an incredibly diverse filmography.

Now, as his titular role in Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” garners critical acclaim, I wanted to take a look at some of his previous projects.

Red Eye (2005)

Starting off strong with this airplane-set thriller, “Red Eye” follows two strangers, Lisa Reisert, played by Rachel McAdams, and Jackson Rippner, played by Murphy, on a flight to Miami. Jackson’s charm entices Lisa at first, but things take an unexpected turn for the worst when his true intentions are revealed.

Murphy deserved an Academy Award solely for his sassy line delivery in one particular scene — if you know, you know. The fact that he served face doing it makes it so much better.

Watching the Detectives (2007)

This rom-com follows a film nerd and video rental store owner whose life is turned upside down when a manic pixie dream girl type, played by the incomparable Lucy Liu, shows him life can be just as exciting and unpredictable as the films he obsesses over.

Violet, Liu’s character, thrusts Neil, Murphy’s character, from crazy scenario to crazy scenario. For example, after the duo vandalize another local video store under Violet’s suggestion, she pranks Neil by getting two “detectives” to scare him into thinking he’s been caught.

Throughout the film, Violet tells Neil stories in which fact and fiction are hard to discern. One in particular includes a big, bald musician she once dated who stalks her. She ends up pulling another ruse on the now paranoid Neil, faking an abduction by this bald ex that leads to a violent resolution.

I hope this movie inspires film bros to go outside and experience the world beyond the screen — though, hopefully not to the same extent as Neil did.

Breakfast on Pluto (2005)

In this drama, our blue-eyed beauty plays a transgender woman named Patrick “Kitten” Braden. After her mother abandoned her on the steps of a priest’s home, she leaves her small town in Ireland for London in search of her mother and a freer place to fully live her trans identity.

Her journey through London finds her falling in love with the lead singer of a glam rock band and singing and dancing as a member of the children’s entertainment group, The Wombles. She becomes a magician’s assistant and is ultimately forced into prostitution where she narrowly escapes a violent attack by iconically spraying her assailant in the eyes with Chanel No. 5.

Murphy’s performance is striking and campy throughout as he buoys the hardships of the trans experience with Kitten’s whimsy and aversion to taking anything seriously.

The costuming is also absolutely scrumptious. From a certain leather ensemble to the myriad of furs, this is certainly Murphy’s most glamorous role to date.

In Time (2011)

This dystopian quasi-thriller takes place in a society where time is currency. Citizens are genetically-engineered to not age past 25, and when they do reach that age, they are given one more year to live. Time is exchanged from person to person and is stored in capsules; citizens can gain time by working, bartering, stealing or fighting for it.

Though the concept is interesting, the execution leaves much to be desired. Even though the cast is full of familiar faces: Amanda Seyfried, Olivia Wilde, Johnny Galecki and Justin Timberlake — yes, it’s from that weird era where they tried to make Timberlake a movie star, it seems like everyone here forgot how to act.

With the exception of Murphy, of course. Here, he plays a so-called “Timekeeper,” a select group of individuals tasked with keeping the peace and investigating “time crimes.” Murphy portrays his character, Raymond Leon, with a cold suaveness and a certain sassiness that’s innate to Murphy. The leather jacket and dark, slicked back hair is just a cherry on top.'

Binge-Watched the entire series of Kim's Convenience during this week off from work

(One season per day)

It's been a long time since a TV show has made me laugh so hard in one scene... then had my crying in another scene.

#MFW - Milan Fashion Week

[tazzy-ace]

Meant to finish these gifs last week but technical difficulties on top of mental health made it not happen. With ep 6 of First Note of Love being released, I rode the hyperfocus yet again to actually finish a set of gifs for ep 1 I wanted to make (and that @dual-domination thought would be great). Highlights from ep 1 of Neil being a menace and getting dragged around before his victorious escape jsksjks

I used an online gif compressor so that they'd be small enough to upload here on tumblr, so pardon for the slight graininess. I'm looking into uploading uncompressed versions on another site (tenor) and if that works out I'll end up sharing links here.

I am absolutely obsessed with this series and everything in it. Sometimes you show up for one actor and then the entire cast and plot just whisks you away. There will be more gifs to come and maybe, just maybe some music video edits too after the show is finished 👀

YouTube showed me this and I think more people should see it. A lot of work must have gone into it.

First Note of Love - final thoughts

Oh, y'all. What a sweet little series. It's not often Taiwan gives us such soft content, but like most things, they were able to do it extremely well.

I was excited for this from the get-go, because of my great love for Charles Tu (which has not abated after watching him in this), but I really enjoyed all of the actors in this. Everyone was note perfect (oops, pun not intended!), leads and sides. I'm deeply skeptical of most singing in shows, but the music here was so genuinely good. And this was such a good example of a cross-language romance done well. You can tell a lot of care went into this, both behind and in front of the camera.

The short run time did mean that there wasn't a lot of super deep delving into the issues at play, but for the most part, I don't think it needed to be deeper. They had something they wanted to say, around grief, and trauma, and love, and healing, and they said it.

Things I particularly loved:

Great chemistry between the leads, and two very natural feeling romances. Plus a really good job making the age gap a non issue for Neil and Sea.

The focus not just being on the romance, but also on the friendships - in particular Neil and Reese having an arc around their brotherly bond. I loved that it's not just about the couples, but all of the group having each other that makes the love work.

Two great female characters with strong personalities. And Mei had a lot of comic moments, but she didn't feel like she was there only to be comical (which still happens too often for bigger-bodied actors). Also please cast Amanda Liu in all the things, she makes me happy.

Despite the short episode length, some really profound and touching moments around loss and letting go. The grief never truly goes away, but it's also ok to know happiness again.

That we may never know the impact we can have on someone when we choose to be kind.

There are warm and wonderful things still waiting for you.

Women’s Hockey News and Transactions 7/1-7/30

I hope everyone is having a great summer! This will cover major news and transactions in women’s pro/proam hockey around the world, though I may miss some things due to language barrier, so feel free to add! I also try to add a little more context to overseas leagues transactions as I know that may be unfamiliar/news less readily available to some, so the PWHL ones are just lists. A few more minor may be omitted for brevity (ie a player going from a franchises u18 team to the major team)

PWHL (USA/Canada)

Retiring: Amanda Leveille

PWHL Boston has signed: Daniela Pejšová (drafted, luleå) for three years, Emma Greco (PWHL Minnesota) for one year, Hannah Bilka (drafted) for three years, and Sydney Bard (drafted) for three years

PWHL New York has signed: Noora Tulus (drafted, Luleå) for two years, Maja Nylén Persson (drafted, Brynäs) for three years,

PWHL Ottawa has signed: Kateřina Mrázová (extension) for two more years, Gwyneth Phillips (drafted) for two years

PWHL Toronto has signed; Carly Jackson (extension) for one year

PWHL Montreal has signed: Jennifer Gardiner (drafted) for two years, Catherine Dubois (extended) for one year, Claire dalton (extended) for one year,

PWHL Minnesota has no new signings to report since 7/1

Lauren Williams named as a PWHL New York assistant coach after several years working behind the bench with Mount Royal University and Stonehill college

Minnesota has fired several bench coaches and are looking into allegation of misconduct from coach Ken Klee

SDHL (Sweden)

Malia Schneider (who played for both Brynäs and PWHL Ottawa last year) joins SDE HF. Joining her is American forward Liliane Perrault, who was briefly with Froluna last year and scored at a point per game clip

Joining a strong SDE defense core is veteran Dominique Kremer, returning to the SDHL after playing for PWHL Minnesota and serving as captain to the Buffalo Beauts

HV71 adds Canadian Forward Kennedy Bobyck from Minnesota State University and Canadian defender Teghan Inglis, who captained Merrimack last year

Japanese national team forward Akane Shiga (PWHL Ottawa) joins Luleå

Finnish national team forward Kiira Yrjänen joins Leksands IF after playing for HV71 last season. Also joining her is one of USports top scorers last year, Canadian forward Lillian George

American forward Kaitlyn O’Donohoe joins Brynäs after a strong five years at Colgate

Skellefteå extends SDHL veteran Ronja Mogren. They also sign American forward Mikayla Lantto who graduated from LIU this last season.

Lisa Östman and Ellen Laurence have both left Djurgården

Djugården also added four players. Three are young Swedes who played for AIK last year: Alva Hellqvist, Tuva Kärrhage, and Isabelle Leijonhielm. Leijonhielm is the biggest name, having some success with the u18 team for Sweden last year. The other added player is 19 year old Czech national team player Tereza Pistekova who played in HPK in Finland last year and had over a point per game pace.

Alexander Hanning returns to Linköping as an assistant coach on a two year deal, having been successful with head coach Thomas Pettersen in the past

Shay Maloney, drafted by PWHL Boston, is back with Leksands IF but with a clause that she can leave to play in PWHL Boston if she earns a spot

Naisten Liiga (Finland)

Retiring: Kiekko Espoo forward Zaida Holmström, who was the long time captain of Mestis team JYP for 6 years. 19 year old Bianca Kanerva, who played for both the Finnish u18 team and Kiekko Espoo last year, has also retired to focus more on her education

Japanese defender Kokoro Ota joins KalPa, She previously played for the Japanese U18 team and for the Seibu Princess Rabbits

KalPa brings back starting goaltender Aino Laitinen and signs Salla Sivula who was one of the main goalies last year for Ilves

Oona Havana has left Kärpät to join the university of Vermont. She was a point per game in 2023 in Naisten Liiga at 17 years old and made the senior national team, but did not play last year due to injury

Written in Finnish, but i highly recommend this article about Viivi Iso-Kouvola talking about Naisten Liiga's current problem and Finnish women's hockey and the financial situation. Currently, most teams are still pay to play, with only HIFK and HPK as exceptions, leaving players to rely on family and sponsorship. As such, the majority of players do not have long term plans to stay in the league and are interested in playing in other leagues instead.

SWHL/PostFinance Women League (Switzerland)

A very active month for ZSC Lions Frauen! Their many addition include former Czech national team captain Alena Polenská (Mills), who played in Russia last year, Josefine Holmgren, a Swedish defender who played in the SDHL for a long time before joining HC Ambrì-Piotta Girls last year and becoming one of their top producers, and Sonja Inkamp, a fast riser in the Swiss leagues who had two goals for the U18 team in the u18 women's worlds last year

Rosalie Bégin-Cyr has joined Neuchâtel Hockey Academy Dames after six strong years in Usports where she won a championship with Concordia University
