Upon Entry (La llegada)

Movies watched in 2024

Upon Entry (La llegada) (2022, Spain)

Directors & Writers: Alejandro Rojas & Juan Sebastián Vásquez

Mini-review:

Wow, this left me breathless. Despite its simplicity and short length, it manages to keep you glued to the screen. In fact, its pace is intense enough to reach anxiety-inducing levels. I don't know if this sort of situation is exactly like that in real life, but it certainly made me scared of ever visiting the US. The taut script is further elevated by two fantastic performances from Alberto Ammann and Bruna Cusí, who give their all to these roles. I don't really have anything else to add, but Upon Entry is a must-watch for fans of thrillers and/or interrogation movies.

also even though I posted something on his birthday, I'm also giving a day-after-Tim's-birthday art offering of: my piece from the @timdrakeflipzine !!! took me a bit to track down which external hard drive I had the file stored on 😅 but this is my little ode to the Brentwood era of Tim's solo <3

[setare7x]

tim having the most random allies in every place is the most funny thing to me ever😭

just to list a few:

prudence wood (an assasin he WORKED with)

danny temple (he meet him in school and helped him take control of a cult😭)

young just us (and whoever he met on all those crazy space missions with them)

ali ben khadir (his roomate at brentwood academy who is the leader of a country)

i'm just convinced that he would know people everywhere

(and i love the comics about his time at brentwood academy and i'm still so sad that they never developed danny further😔)

DAREDEVIL CHARACTERS COMING BACK FROM WORK TO YOU SLEEPING NAKED

GN READER

Characters: Matt Foggy Karen Frank Elektra Claire Dex Ray

CW: implied smut, nothing too serious tho

MATT- he'll probably sense you sleeping naked before he even enters the house. Smiling to himself Matt will enter the flat, stripping of his clothes and quietly entering the room not to wake you up. As much as he likes the idea of doing other things with you he knows you're tired, and he is too, so he just lays down next to you, hugging you from behind and kissing your forehead.

FOGGY- he'll be (pleasantly) surprised, walking up to you and kissing you awake. Will tell you how hot you look, asking sarcastically if you were waiting for him. If you're up to it you two can have fun, but if you're tired or not in the mood he'll let it go immediately and cuddle next to you.

KAREN- she'll smile to herself, eyeing you. She'll take off her heels and go up to you gently stroking your shoulder to tell you she's home. Karen will quickly kiss you, strip of her clothes and will join you in bed, asking how was your day. As you kiss her temple and hold her in your arms she'll drift off to sleep, as you are too.

FRANK- he'll smirk, coming up to you, and cupping your upper body with his big arms. "Hey (nickname)" he'll say kissing your jaw and neck. Frank will laugh at your grumpy response, kissing you deeply and admiring your sleepy face. He'll leave you to it to finish some work and later will join you in bed.

ELEKTRA- she'll smirk and strip of her clothes, getting on the bed and turning your head to her. She'll start kissing you and feeling your face and body with her hands until you completely wake up, and than sitting on your lap she'll jokingly say "good morning" continuing to kiss you.

CLAIRE- she'll laugh quietly, setting her things down. She's super tired so she just lays down next to cuddling you closer.

DEX- he's super tired and stressed from his job, so seeing you will make his day a little brighter. Stripping off his clothes he will go up to your bed, get in and hug your waist. Brushing your hair and tracing his knackels on your cheek bone he'll stare at your face in awe, obsessing over your beauty. You may or may not wake up to him eagerly kissing your neck and feeling your soft lips with his thumb.

RAY- Ray is also very stressed, working in his line of jon isn't easy. Smiling to himself at your sight he'll go finish some of his paperwork and only than join you to bed, feeling your warm body and your soft breathing on his skin, instantly relaxing and feeling at peace.

Marbled Monday

We're jumping back in to Marbled Monday with a splash! This wavy teal, gold, and cream marbling was stumbled upon while we were doing some record clean-up in our compact shelving area. It is a Spanish Wave pattern that is created by wiggling the paper while putting it onto the surface of the water bath that holds the marbling pigments. This particular iteration of the pattern is quite wigglesome, suggesting that the person doing the marbling was moving the paper in a somewhat irregular way rather than in a steady back-and-forth motion.

The book is volume 1 of Memoirs of the Life and Writings of Benjamin Franklin. Our copy is a second edition from 1818 published by Henry Colburn. Volumes 1 and 2 are about the life of American printer and publisher, author, inventor and scientist, and diplomat Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), while volumes 3 and 4 contain his correspondence, and volumes 5 and 6 contain "posthumous and other writings." We only hold volumes 1 and 2 of the 6. Most of Franklin's life story published here is an autobiography, with additional writing about his later years contributed by his grandson, who was the illegitimate son of Franklin's illegitimate son as well as a failed diplomat and real estate speculator, William Temple Franklin (1760-1823). Temple Franklin, as he was known, became his grandfather's secretary at the age of 16 and was named his literary heir.

tim + brentwood characters as boys i was legitimately friends with in high school and think of every single day:

Buzz- Jake (fake names for all of my friends bc privacy reasons) who complained about hanging out with nerds, got into a fistfight with someone else on his football team bc they called us nerds, was thoroughly convinced he'd run laps faster if he was hopped up on pixie stix (i held his backback while he got sick in the bathroom👍👍), he tried to hit on my older sister and she laughed at him, he was so put out he contemplated becoming a monk for a week

Wes: Max, who i helped sneak an entire bottle of orange juice on to the bus to our choir competition, but was unaware he brought a full bottle of vodka as well, ended up crying on our choir teacher for the three hours after the comp and i bought him a box of donuts after school, he did not stop doing this and had severe beef with a kid he knew in 5th grade and hadnt seen since but also hadnt forgotten their name and last i knew, was still awaiting for a dreaded confrontation to eventually come

Kip: Eduardo, who we all thought was studying during lunch but was actually filling his notebook with weird facts he observed about us and also managed to chew several packs of gum at once throughout our math class before the teacher noticed him, didnt know the plot to the clockwork orange so i lied about it for 5 weeks before he read it and called me just to tell me "you lying frog" befire he hung up

Ali: Ángel, who lied several times on separate occasions to the campus security about where people smoked, forgot what chihuahuas were twice, and almost drowned when he was swimming except his older brother got him and he immediately called me while waiting for the ambulance to tell me he almost fucking died, randomly sang a song about crabs he made up throughout the day

Danny: Ben, helped me with my biology homework because i helped him with essays, once released a live rat into the computer classroom because he had beef with the teacher, once texted me at 11 p.m. because he was having a mental breakdown over his chem work before he realized he was actually looking at trig and i told him id shoot him with a tranq gun if he woke me up like this again, kept forgetting how to tie his shoes

Tim: Teddy, he catfished 6 men over the age of 30 by pretending to be a 13 yr old girl and lured them to the part of town where there is an absurd amount of wild dogs that evade animal control and are known to maul humans, i watched him lockpick the english teacher's door so he could take back an essay he wrote bc it was actually a slash fic he printed out and turned in by accident, we hung out at a dennys once and he accidentally put his hand in syrup, looked me dead in the eye and said "i did that bc im gay" and wore pastel pink for a month bc it pissed off the hall monitor, his dad, and also six teachers he didnt even have class with

Brideshead / Castle Howard photo medley Part 2

A few more of the photos I took when visiting Castle Howard.

This is the Temple of the Four Winds, commanding superb views across the hills. The temple was originally used as a place for refreshment and reading, beneath it is a cellar where servants prepared the food they served to the family above [info from Castle Howard website].

This is the place I wanted to see the most as it is the backdrop for some favourite scenes of Sebastian and Charles' idyllic summer.

And it didn't disappoint, such a beautiful folly, with a grassy path lined with statues making for a glorious approach from the house.

More to come including close ups of the temple and of Matthew drinking wine 😆.

📷 My pics of Castle Howard, Brideshead Revisited (2008) on set stills (via matthew-goode.net) and my gifs.

Padawan & Youngling Obi-Wan Kenobi

[itstimeforstarwars]

Crack storyline for spectobi

-Ben runs into (Purge Trooper) Cody first, and Cody thinks that Ben is actually the child of Cal Kestis (several old assumptions from the clone wars that never got cleared up means he thinks Cal is Obi-Wan’s kid) (the bad batch is not canon to spectobi)

-Ben runs into Cal Kestis, and, in trying not to give away that he's not Korkie’s child, immediately calls Cal his uncle

-Cal is like,,, 98% sure that Obi-Wan Kenobi is not his father, but, well, it's not exactly like he can check the temple records NOW, and this kid is so damn insistent,,,

-Korkie’s spouse finally catches up to them and they and Cal are very Spiderman Meme about them both being Jedi

-Ben has to do A Lot of quick talking so that Korkie’s spouse does not actually mention that he is Not Their Kid. Korkie’s spouse ends up thinking he is actually, somehow, a clone of Korkie, and so??? technically??? sort of their kid???

-Korkie's spouse and Cal now have the weirdest Jedi in-law situation ever

-Ahsoka senses Bullshit and reaches out to one of the only surviving people who knew Obi-Wan very very well--Quinlan Vos

-Quinlan, thinking this is a joke, is like "yeah obviously Cal was mine and Obi-Wan’s. Did you not see the resemblance?"

-Ben now has to come to terms with the fact that he had a kid with the Duchess he was protecting AND his best friend.

-Bo-Katan is losing her mind. Cere thinks this is hilarious. (jedi survivor is not canon to spectobi)

-When Ezra comes across Old Ben in the desert, Old Ben ALSO thinks this is hilarious and clarifies nothing.

i will admit posters like these make me laugh because can you imagine an anomaly opening in the middle of the arc & the entire squad deciding to take a group photo before dealing with whatever decides to emerge from the bunghole of time.
