Good Girls Rewatch with Descriptive Video

Season 2 + I'm adding 3.1 because I just can't end on 2.13! Yeah I watched it 😬

I never realized there were so many s-words for how Rio moves: he swaggers, saunters, smirks

2.4 so graphic in the best way

2.12 this is the first time I'm disappointed with the description. The car scene, one of my faves, and they gave nothing from Rio's POV. The initial set of his jaw, alllll those meaningful looks, avoiding of eye contact when he lies that she's just work, and nothing?? Stchupes.

2.13 I watched it. Well, most of it. It was worth it if only to appreciate Manny's incredible acting in that scene. But it was graphic and hard to watch. I closed my eyes and even the audio became so hard to listen to.

3.1 I loved the way the captioner(?) said "...(Turner) tosses the glue to - Rio!" with surprise and delight reflected in her voice. Also, a new s-word had entered the chat...Rio strides into the sun.

Almost through season 3!

i got rickrolled today but it didn't work because i have adblocker installed, so youtube just told me i violated the terms of service. yesterday i was trying to edit a picture as a joke for my girlfriend, and google made me check a box to prove i'm human because i wasn't "searching normally".

it isn't just that capitalism is killing fun and whimsy, it is that any element of entertainment or joy is being fed upon by this mosquito body, one that will suck you dry at any vulnerability.

do you want to meet new friends in your city? download this app, visit our website, sign up for our email list. pay for this class on making a terrarium, on candlemaking, on cooking. it will be 90 dollars a session. you can go to group fitness, but only under our specific gym membership. solve the puzzle, sign up for our puzzle-of-the-month-club. what is a club if not just a paid opportunity - you are all paying for the same thing, which makes you a community.

but you're like me, i know it - you're careful, you try the library meetings and the stuff at the local school and all of that. the problem is that you kind of want really specific opportunities that used to exist. you are so grateful for libraries and the publicly-funded things: they are, however, an exception - and everything they have, they've fought tooth-and-nail to protect. you read a headline about how in many other states, libraries have virtually nothing left.

do you want to meet up with your friends afterwards? gift your friends the discord app. you can choose to go to a cafe (buy a coffee, at least), a bar (money, alcohol) or you can all stay in and catch a movie (streaming) or you can all stay in bed (rent. don't get me started) and scream (noise complaint. ticket at least).

you want to read a new book, but the book has to have 124 buzzwords from tiktok readers that are, like, weirdly horny. you can purchase this audiobook on audible! your podcast isn't on spotify, it's on its own server, pay for a different site. fuck, at least you're supporting artists you like. the art museum just raised their ticket price. once, they had a temporary exhibit that acknowledged that ~85% of their permanent art galleries were from cis white men, and that they had thousands of works by women (even famous women, like frida! georgia o'keefe!) just rotting in their basement. that exhibit lasted for 3 months and then they put everything away again.

walmart proudly supports this strip of land by the street! here are some flowers with wilting leaves. its employees have to pay out-of-pocket for their uniforms. my friend once got fined by the city because she organized a community pick-up of the riverfront, which was technically private property.

no, you cannot afford to take that dance class, neither can i. by the way - i'm a teacher. i'm absolutely not saying "educators shouldn't be paid fairly." i'm saying that when i taught classes, renting a studio went from 20 bucks an hour to 180 in the span of 6 months. no significant changes to the studio were made, except they now list the place as updated and friendly. the heat still doesn't work in the building. i have literally never seen the landlord who ignores my emails. recently they've been renting it out at night as an "unusual nightclub; a once-in-a-lifetime close-knit party." they spent some of those 180 dollars on LEDs and called it renovating. the high heels they invite in have been ruining the marley.

do you want to experience the old internet? do you want to play flash games or get back the temporary joy of club penguin? you can, you just need to pay for it. i have a weird, neurodivergent obsession with occasionally checking in to watch the downfall and NFT-ification of neopets. if i'm honest with you all - i never got into webkins, my family didn't have the money to buy me a pointless elephant. people forget that "being poor" can mean literally "if i buy you that toy, i can't afford rent."

you and i don't have time to make good food, and we don't have the budget for it. we are not gonna be able to host dinner parties, we're not made of money, kid. do you want some kind of 3rd space? a space that isn't home or work or school? you could try being online, but - what places actually exist for you? tiktok counts as social media because you see other people on it, not because they actually talk to you.

there was a local winter tradition of sledding down the hill at my school. kids would use pizza boxes and jackets and whatever worked, howling and laughing. back in september, they made a big announcement that this time, rules were changing, and everyone must pay 10 dollars to participate. when im not scared shitless, i kind of appreciate the environmental irony - it hasn't gone below 40. so much for snow & joyriding.

i saw a bulletin for a local dogwalking group and, nervous about making a good first impression, showed up early. the first guy there grimaced at me. "sorry," he said. "there's a 30-dollar buy-in fee." i thought he was joking. wait. for what? the group doesn't offer anything except friendship and people with whom to walk around the city.

he didn't know the answer. just shrugged at me. "you know," he said. "these days, everything costs money."

Totally not a conspiracy theory, and totally not a true one at that. No to at all

Wow this Disney blockbuster was very disliked by general audiences.

I'm sure it's even more infamous and hated sequel has even worse revi-

what. how. this doesn't...??????

Oh well I'm sure it's just a one time occurrence. Im sue this other Disney blockbuster that came out after TLJ is more appropriately rated

°____°

......well...how about-

OH COME ON

AND THE NEXT ONE? THAT HAD SO MUCH CRITICISM EVEN BEFORE IT WAS RELEASED. SURELY-

.........fuck

alright alright

Let's stop with the shitty live action remakes that were released after TLJ

How about shitty marvel movies tgat were released after TLJ? HEY this one's pretty awful. I wonder...

HOW.

WHO. LIKED. THIS.

Everyone's been shitting on this movie! What is happening????

DA-

-FUK???

Ok there cannot be any denial that there is something shady going on here

These movies aren't good. I hope we can all agree these movies arent good. Especially not over 75% general audiences rating on rotten tomatoes. It really feels like when TLJ was torn to shreds like it deserved disney got a liiiiitle afraid how bad ratings will look on them so they made sure 90% of their blockbusters (there are some, like mulan and dumbo that aren't this high) after this got really nice reviews that they didn't deserve. You know. To make sure the don't look bad and people aren't discouraged from buying tickets to their lazy cashgrab slops.

senpai and the fam in 1935- the edited and original pics! ;)

[greenedbeans]

i feel like soo much of my taste in games was shaped by when i was in highschool and stumbled upon a little forum of people making like. dating sim visual novels and posting the downloads for free. it was a cool little community, i think what made those games most memorable was the connection with the people making them. i also think the games that had monthly chapter releases are like. ones that i'll never be able to forget even if i wanted to. anyway, i want forums back is the point-

I wanna cry so bad right now but my sister can come home any moment right now and I don't want her to see me cry

“Wait, there are people blaming the writers?”

Are you surprised? Fandoms have become notorious anti-writer spaces. Studios love you guys. They can cut the budgets, cut the number of writers, cut the wages of the writers, and you guys always blame the writers. “The writers ruined the show!” It’s never “the studios ruined the show.”

I hate to break it to you: more than half the shows you complain were “ruined by the writers”, were ruined by the studios. Studios cut the scenes and arcs you were excited for. Studios cut the budget of the show, or even raise the budget of the show and force a “bigger, louder, bolder” tone on shows that were unexpected hits (this is where we get “the Netflix look” on every show post-Stranger Things and Queen’s Gambit).

You guys do not do your research. Half your fanfics are tagged with bad faith digs at the writers, when a few searches would reveal how strapped that show was and how poorly the writers were treated. Writers are being given a 10 weeks to write 10 episodes. How are good arcs and scenes supposed to happen under that time limit, with a max of only four writers?

Tumblr, the self-proclaimed “pro-union, pro-worker, pro-artist” site is also a major fandom site. You guys rarely practice good faith consumer etiquette for television and film writers, because your fandom salt always turns you against writers. And studios love you for it.

Yeah, individual writers do create bad writing from time to time. But so do painters, chefs, and musicians. Directors and actors sometimes refuse to film certain scenes or follow a show’s projected style and arc, and the writers always get the crap for a bad performance or a poorly directed episode. This isn’t to blame actors or directors; it’s to point out that you guys have one villain, and it’s always the writers. You guys never give writers the same grace you give animators, designers, directors, actors, composers, and editors.

Studios love you every time you say “the writers ruined the show.” Every single popular fandom is guilty of this. View any of the “why did the writers cut this scene, they hate my characters” talk when leaked scenes hit the internet. Writers barely get paid for what they do write. You think they’re writing scenes and then happily throwing them in the shredder? You guys just eat the talk that studios put out. Always have.
