Cary Elwes marathon part 2564732

Rebel Moon - 2023/2024 - this is not what I meant when I said I want to see him in a big movie again😫

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare - 2024 - this movie is identical to the other Guy Ritchie movie he did last year, mid to the bones. But it was lovely to see him with a moustache and pointy ears again after like 20 years

Knuckles - 2024 - FINALLY SOME FUN FUCKING CHARACTER, GO OFF OLD MAN!!!!!!!

Sometimes, you need a Saw marathon to get through the pain.

[cary-elwes-headcanons]

cary elwes ran a marathon once

[lavelled]

the halfwit couplet. 

The crux of it was inhumane tragedy, racial falsehoods from a saleswoman, and you mocking bullied young victims on the Internet through your own unchecked print and digital campaign.

“X Confirms It’s Moving Out of San Francisco.” Ah. You’re denying me cable cars or you’re referencing Alcatraz Island. I’m good. I’ve got Nicolas Cage.

What seems to be happening is a professional-failure of a prince is toying with sympathetic members of the public over a painful and deadly disease known as cancer that, Kate, a princess, does not have so he can claim sexual first-ness with a woman who says no. “Continues to battle” is tied canopy bedding.

A news quip signifying nothing on counterfeit spouse’s sister. You should know that in his fused code: half-sibling means half. Of 8. Four. Harry had Samantha be photographed hand-delivering a sealed letter outside Kensington after his blowhard wedding. Google it. A wheelchaired reminder that after decades, not a burden lifted, a hermetic life was still immobile and childless.

Days of Thunder. The actors play assigned roles in whistling arrow flight. Robert Duvall plays Harry Hogge. English actor, Cary Elwes, plays Russ Wheeler. J.C. Quinn plays Waddell. Randy Quaid is Tim Daland. The Wales’ pedophilia is well-driven in turbo banked curves on a track. I was sixteen at filming. Your dad views little girls as melty fresh-snow lovers. Actor J. C. Quinn died in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, which are his initials and in no way means anything in the worst possible ways.

AP Archive YouTube video: UK: PRINCE WILLIAM & PRINCE HARRY AT HIGHGROVE 1999. William drives on gravel in a white car, a red L near the headlight. Alas, K. He’s next to Harry, decked out in green, and they coordinate a synchronized dance where we see nothing but elbows and a ghostgirl of a certain age because love. Charles goes to the middle. Twerp rubs his nose. Stupid, if you ask me. And yeah, red jacket and dual camera gents.

We lifted tech-lord camo for Archillect, Murat Pak, Elon Musk, Piers Morgan, Spencer Morgan, Bill Ackman, and Donald Trump. Morbid wordsmith of: “I’m sad to announce, my father Donald Trump has passed away. I will be running for president in 2024.” Donald Jr’s page. For Tom. Sad is happy. Happy is Harry. Harry is a dead-eyed sociopath, next stop, the asylum, haha, I hate this. I left twitter poolside. He compared poisoned Skittles to refugees (altruism). Junior means jailer.

The world is done with code we’d rather block out, with underage under-priced contracts, your family and wife.

Verne Troyer—comedian and sidekick in Austin Powers and Harry Potter films—suicide. April 21, 2018. One month before your wedding.

Kieron Durkan—English footballer—suicide. At 44-years-old, he was found dead in his car in Wigg Island Park, UK. Three months before your wedding.

Greg Boyed—New Zealand journalist, broadcaster, marathon runner—took his life while on a family holiday in Switzerland. Three months after your wedding.

Kolya Vasin—Russian writer and music historian—jumped from a gallery shopping centre. At the young parkouring age of 73. Three months after your wedding.

Kagney Linn Karter—born Christina Abbey in Harris County, Texas—singer, dancer, porn actress in adult parodies of Silence Of The Lambs and Not Married with Children, which is badass given her chosen name. A few months ago, she shot herself in the mouth with a shotgun.

Duangphet Phromthep—At 13, was Thai captain of that junior football team rescued from a trapped cave in 2018. He won a football scholarship to England. At the Brooke House College Football Academy, he committed suicide. Valentine’s Day. He was 17.

Lee Sun-kyun—Screen Actors Guild Award-winner—best known as the dad in the con-artist thriller, Parasite, thematically about class and society and the rich Park family versus the destitute Kim clan. Lee died by suicide in a car at a park in Seoul, a charcoal briquette in the passenger seat.

Billy Miller—thrice-time Emmy Award-winning actor—traveled to Austin, Texas to commit suicide from a gun to the head. Last year. September 15. He guest starred on Suits as MARCUS.

katrinilves Nov 30, 2021 it may be November 30th but it's never too early to start the seasonal Christmas romcom marathon. Starting now and ending when I run out of steam or there are no more Christmas romcoms to be had on my streaming services, whichever is the sooner. 🧵

katrinilves Nov 30, 2021 CASTLE FOR CHRISTMAS (2021)

Look, I both love and hate this. It's offensive and ridiculous. It's funny. This is a mythical Scotland in which geography bends to whim. I live for Cary Elwes and his grumpy face. There's a dog. I watched on mute. 6/10

katrinilves Dec 1, 2021 HAPPIEST SEASON (2020)

Ten million points for being gay. Perfect blend of chaos and Christmas. I want every Christmas romcom to star Kristen Stewart and Dan Levy from now on. I would dock points for the gay trauma but I’m adding them back for A+ sibling dynamics. 10/10

katrinilves Dec 3, 2021 CHRISTMAS IN THE HIGHLANDS (2019)

I should’ve known the moment I saw the bold type asshole boyfriend that this would suck. 1 point for the haggis joke, 1 for the weird perfume plot, zero points for everything else. If you watch: MUTE 🔇to escape the terrible accents. 2/10

katrinilves Dec 4, 2021 LAST CHRISTMAS (2019)

Disqualified for not being a romcom (no HEA). it reminded me a bit of THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS (2015), except Henry Golding didn't come back to life, boo. Petition for an actual romcom starring Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding tho👀

katrinilves Dec 4, 2021 CHRISTMAS AT MAPLE CREEK (2020)

I do not vibe with the romanticisation of the American pioneers, and also not with the creative liberties taken with how the publishing industry works. However the romance was great. A bit saccharine but I appreciate a doe-eyed love interest. 7/10

katrinilves Dec 4, 2021 SINGLE ALL THE WAY (2021)

Disappointed we didn’t get any fake dating. I also LOATHE matchmaking and there was…a…lot… On the other hand I am DELIGHTED by these big city gays falling in love and moving to small town America to open a plant shop and write children’s books. 10/10

katrinilves Dec 5, 2021 THE HOLIDAY CALENDAR (2018)

Rewatch - better than I remembered it being. It’s sweet and lovely and put me in an instant good mood. 9/10

katrinilves Dec 5, 2021 CINDERELLA STORY: A CHRISTMAS WISH (2019)

Adorable. Hilariously over the top with the Cinderella stuff. There was a dog! Aimed more at kids than adults I think, which was a bit whatever. A fun romp though. 8/10

katrinilves Dec 10, 2021 MIDNIGHT AT THE MAGNOLIA (2020)

I love a good friends to lovers and this DELIVERED. The acting was a bit eh at times but everyone was very sincere and seemed like they had a great time making this film, and tbh this was just a delight from start to finish. 9/10

katrinilves Dec 11, 2021 LET IT SNOW (2019)

YA ensemble romcom. Fun! The characters were delightful and awkward and very teenage-y. Perfect balance of fluff and drama. Bonus points for the baby queer girls. 10/10

katrinilves Dec 13, 2021 LOVE HARD (2021)

I was prepared to hate every minute because the trailer was very unloveable, BUT ACTUALLY I really enjoyed it! Mildly disappointed this Tag guy didn’t say “you two assholes deserve each other” but ok sentiment implied. 10/10

katrinilves Dec 14, 2021 CHRISTMAS AROUND THE CORNER (2018)

I am not straight enough for these straight small town American films, sorry, I just CANNOT anymore. I wanted a queer love triangle between Claire and bakery girl and bookshop boy. Alas. Otherwise I guess this was fine? 5/10

and that's a wrap for 2021!

a Christmas romance movie has appeared on Netflix and OF COURSE I will watch it, but first:

once upon a time I used to make threads of Christmas romance movies on twitter with short summaries and ratings. I kept it up for 3? 4? years in a row until...well, looking at my cursed twitter account, until the pandemic hit. I didn't realise it'd been that long. SO! first course of action is to repost these old tweets here, for posterity, and then. I will add on. because I plan to watch at LEAST five silly Christmas romance movies this season. I am badly in need of silly content

[artofthemovies]

As cinema fans gear up for two Summer’s worth of blockbusters (including Top Gun: Maverick), we couldn’t help but be reminded of Jim Abraham's 1991 screwball Top Gun parody "Hot Shots", starring Charlie Sheen, Cary Elwes, Valeria Golino, Jon Cryer and Lloyd Bridges. With Sheen's amazing comedic timing, this superb spoof takes on Rocky, Marathon Man, Superman, Gone with the Wind and Dances With Wolves as well as Cruise's Top Gun. It took an incredible $181M at the box office and spawned a sequel, "Hot Spots! Part Deux" in 1993! “American planes will always be superior as long as there are wonderful men like you in the cockpit. And German parts.” A fantastic original movie poster is a perfect for any budding pilot or comedy fan. #artofthemovies #hotshots #topgun #charliesheen #lloydbridges #topgunmaverick #1990s #comedy #homemovietheatre #homecinema #filmposter #filmposters #vintagemovieposters #movieposter #vintageposters #hollywood #cinema #collectibles #vintage #poster #posters #film #art #films #interiordesign #homedecor https://www.instagram.com/p/CQwOoNuM9fR/?utm_medium=tumblr

[sally-mun]

Ever met a celebrity or anybody famous? The most famous person I've met was a former pro boxer, by the name of Ray 'Boom-Boom' Mancini at a charity dinner at the banquet center I worked at 4 years ago. Nicest man you'd ever meet and he even sent me a signed autograph picture in the mail. I'm a Star Trek fan and I'd love to meet the cast of TNG, but autographs and conventions are so expensive. Of course there's the chance you could catch one of them on a bad day and get the brunt of it

If we’re including conventions, then yeah I’ve met several famous people before. I’ve met and gotten autographs and/or selfies from voice actors and screen actors, and I’ve occasionally met some artists too! Outside of that, though, I can’t really say I have. Even my best and most extensive meeting was still at a convention. You could even argue that Mario Marathon was kind of a convention in a sense, albeit a super limited one!

I wasn’t sure if I should include a list or not, so as a compromise I’m going to do so below a cut!

Voice Actors:

Sonny Strait (voice of Krillin) -- Got to spend basically an entire day with him! Unexpectedly encountered him at a convention waaaay way back in the day and he just kind of adopted me and the other handful of fans that were hanging around. He gave us all free DBZ CCG t-shirts, let us sit in the DBZ hummer, and signed anything we put in front of him!

Christopher Sabat (voice of Vegeta) -- I brought him a set of cookies made to look like dragon balls, and brought my favorite Vegeta card that I’d been saving for something like 17 years or so on the off-chance I could ever get it signed. He was so moved and impressed that he gave me two other autographs for free~

Todd Haberkorn (voice of Jaco) -- This was the same convention where I got to meet Chris Sabat, and I also brought him a box of cookies. He was so excited that he dug into them right then and there, and then when signing my card he even wrote “Thanks for the galactic cookies!”

Chuck Huber (voice of Android 17/Hiei) -- I’ve gotten autographs from him a couple of times for different characters. One of the items I got signed was one of the original Hiei action figures back when Yu Yu Hakusho first debuted in the US. He was impressed that I had it at all, let alone that it was in the box. (Amusingly, the only reason I did was because I had one previous to it that was out of the box on display and whose sword had broken. I got a new one intending to replace it, but just never opened it.)

Chris Rager (voice of Mr. Satan) -- SUCH a nice guy! We had a nice little chat and I offered him some dragon ball cookies I’d been handing out that day. He signed my trading card and took a selfie with me! I caught him at a panel where he told some absolutely amazing behind-the-scenes stories that I still tell to other people to this day.

Chris Cason (voice of Tien) -- Not much to say about this encounter, I didn’t get to say much more than a hello and thank you before he had to go. I’d missed the official signing session and just happened to catch him after a panel.

Team Four Star -- I catch these guys every opportunity I can manage, and every time I bring them some DBZ-themed treat. I refer to myself as “Snack Girl” when I come to get autographs, and at my last encounter Lanipator mentioned that I looked familiar when I came to the table, so I guess I’m making an impact! I have several stories concerning these guys, way too many to list here.

Little Kuriboh (YGOA voice of Merik, DBZA voice of Freeza) -- Amusingly I met him the time I was at a convention in my Piccolo costume, and that ended up being a whole conversation by itself. It then immediately turned into a conversation about Fallout because someone had brought him some New Vegas playing cards, lol. He was enamored with the trading card I had brought him to sign, and we had a discussion about a fund raiser he’d hosted to raise money for disaster relief where I’d won one of the auctions he’d held.

Kevin Conroy (voice of Batman) -- I found out very late that he was going to be in town, like maybe a week or two before, and dropped EVERYTHING to be able to meet him. When I was in line for an autograph I was so worked up that I kept getting light headed and having heart palpitations. By the time I actually made it to the table I was so starstruck that I could barely say anything. I’m pretty sure I said “I can’t believe you’re here” (??? wtf past-me) and something about him being so talented. He thanked me and didn’t really say much. I had also paid for a photo with him, and in the photo you can see my hand gripping the side of my leg REALLY tightly because I had a very strong instinct to hug him and I WAS NOT ABOUT TO BE THAT FANGIRL.

Charles Martinet (voice of most of the Mario cast) -- Holy shit, this man is playful! He was an absolute delight to talk to, and even just to watch with other people while I was in line. He was very open to whatever sorts of fan requests each person had and was just so warm and gracious with each person that came up. I mostly just wanted to shake his hand and tell him that Mario games basically set me up for the person I grew up to be today. The thing that amused me the most is that if you had him autograph one of the prints at the table, which had all the Mario characters on it, he’d do the voices of each character while doodling little word balloons for them~

Screen Actors:

John Barrowman (Captain Jack Harkness in Doctor Who/Torchwood) -- This was one of the first times I’d gone to a convention specifically to meet an actor. He was a lot of fun and did his best to be chatty, but his handlers were kind of hurrying people along. He was especially tickled by my name (I guess he doesn’t sign too many autographs made out to “Leda”), and he even signed a second item that we happened to have for free!

Cary Elwes (Wesley in The Princess Bride, among other things) -- This was another one of those moments where the weight of just WHO I was meeting got to me and I completely lost my voice. I think I said something about having grown up watching Princess Bride ever since I was a little kid?? I honestly don’t remember what I said, it’s kind of a blur. All I know is that I was so struck by the moment that I didn’t even remember to say that I also love him in the Saw movies.

Billy Boyd (Pippin in Lord of the Rings) -- Not a lot I can say about this one because it was a very fast-paced, conveyor belt sort of affair. We exchanged greetings and he thanked us very much for coming out to see him, and we all agreed that Pippin is totes the best hobbit.

Robin Lord Taylor (Penguin in Gotham) -- One of my favorite interactions meeting a celebrity, for sure! He was actually really interested in knowing about -me-, which completely threw me off-guard. He wanted to know where I was from and what I did for a living, and when I said I was a manager at Spencer’s he got really excited and squeaked “I LOVE Spencer’s!” While he was signing my doll I explained that Penguin is by far my family’s favorite character in Gotham and that we had a joke where, anytime the show switches back to him, we say “Meanwhile, with the REAL main character...” He got a big kick out of that~

Khary Payton (King Ezekiel in The Walking Dead) -- So I don’t watch a huge amount of Walking Dead, but I watch enough that I wanted to come along when my mom went to go get an autograph from him for my brother. He’s definitely the friendliest celebrity I’ve encountered -- so much so that he wouldn’t stay behind the table! He spent the entire time in FRONT of the table so he could hug every single person that came to see him! It was a nice strong hug, too, and he was just so welcoming and pleasant. I told him that, if I had to choose one of the communities in The Walking Dead, I’d absolutely choose The Kingdom. He threw his hands up to his sides and said dramatically, “You will always have a place in my kingdom!”

Penn & Teller -- This year my mom took me on a surprise trip to Las Vegas, and while we were there we got to see Penn & Teller perform, which has always been a dream of mine! After the show they came out into the lobby and they did autographs and selfies with anyone that wanted one, and I got to meet them each. It was a little disarming hearing Teller talk, and Penn was as funny as ever because he’d loudly comment whenever someone’s phone wasn’t working. During this trip I also had my Boris plushie as my “traveling doll” and asked if they’d take pictures with him as well, which they both obliged. Teller seemed particularly amused by Boris.

James Rolfe (the Angry Video Game Nerd) -- So I actually have kind of a long history with him, which originated with me contacting the show to donate a fairly odd peripheral accessory. I given a green light and provided an address, and since I was going to be mailing him anyway, I basically just got a big box and threw in any video game related stuff that I didn’t want anymore and didn’t feel like putting the effort into selling. It ended up being a HUGE box, so much so that I included an inventory list to make sure he didn’t accidentally throw something away. To my surprise he actually mailed me back an autographed AVGN print thanking me for the donations! I thought that’d be the end of it, but he’s actually since featured that peripheral several times on the show, and even included an Easter egg that I asked for twice! This year I got to meet him at Too Many Games and introduced myself as the one that sent the item in. He mentioned that they had a lot of fun messing with it.

Mario Marathon team -- I’m known as one of the regulars since I’ve been around since the first year, and a couple of years ago I was actually invited to the marathon itself as a player! It’s definitely one of the most amazing experiences of my life, and I only wish I could do it all over again! Everyone was just... wonderful~ I was there for several days so there’s obviously way too many stories to tell, but at least in this case you can always go watch the videos on Twitch.

Artists:

Steven Butler -- This was particularly amusing because I was the one that caught him by surprise. I happened to be making my way through the Artist Alley when I realized he was there, and since no one was at the table at the time I went over to talk to him. We had an awesomely long chat about his work (I was going through a sample book on the table) and his time drawing for the Sonic comics. He tried to bring it up as a talking point, and I told him “I know, I own some of your pages!” which REALLY threw him for a loop! He showed me some art for a new Sonic-style story he’s been working on, and I completely fell in love with a character that was clearly inspired by Sally (and I’m not just assuming, he confirmed as much). I then started talking about @fini-mun and how it’s only a shame he couldn’t meet Deebs too, and was talking about Deebs’ history with art and almost getting recruited to be in the Archie art stable as well and how they now do art streams. He was particularly interested in the streams, and I was like “Oh yeah, that’s actually why they aren’t here now, they have a stream today!” so he gave me a free print to pass along to Deebs as a show of interest and support!

Veronica Vera (from the Not Enough Rings comic) -- This was another chance encounter in Artist Alley. I was just kind of poking around to see everyone’s work, and I realized I recognized the comic she was selling. I commented that I loved that comic, and she said she was selling hardcover copies of the entire series. I love the comic and I wanted to show my support, so I bought a book and she signed the inside cover! Unfortunately Oliver Bareham wasn’t there at the time, so no autograph from him. Maybe one day if I’m incredibly lucky, I suppose.

Rich Koslowski -- This was at one of my very first conventions ever. He was an inker of the Sonic comics at the time, and I was only.... 12, I think? I mostly was just excited to be meeting someone that works on Sonic stuff, and I can’t remember much about the encounter aside from just babbling about liking Sonic. I remember him being very kind.

And unfortunately... Ken Penders --  This was at the same convention I just mentioned with Koslowski. As stated above I was only 12, and I was just excited to meet someone who works on Sonic stuff. I believe I was there because of a post on Archie’s Sonic website. Anyway what strikes me as the most surprising about this encounter is how -normal- it all was, at least as far as I remember it. I’ve heard some horror stories of Penders being horrible to fans at conventions, but at least way back at this time (like 1997 or so), he was passing for a normal human. He didn’t say anything mean to me (that I noticed), and he actually gave me some free Sonic loot, which I can’t imagine him ever doing nowadays. I still have the comic book he signed, and I legit consider burning it on a regular basis.

OKAY this ended up way longer that I thought it would. I think even -I- forgot how many people I’ve met before. If I think of anyone else I’ll add it to the list later!

Saw IV & V, Brother Edition (with Added Jigsaw)

We’re on Night 3 of our Saw Marathon, and my brother officially hates this series and its twists, but he just can’t get enough of it.

My brother, age eight, isn’t exactly the target audience of these movies. But lord help him. He spent all of Saw IV believing Strahm was the new Jigsaw (after I pinky promised him John was actually dead) and couldn’t understand why I would like a murderer. When Hoffman came out as the new Jigsaw, my brother freaked the fuck out; it looked like he was having a seizure. He told me he gave up and hated the twists. But he was so proud he figured out Saw IV happened at the same time as III. (Even though it took until he saw Jeff to figure it out. I’ll give him that win.)

Saw V hurt his feelings. He really liked Charles and got so upset when he died. “Welcome to the Saw fandom, where your favorite always dies.” He checked out during all the flashbacks with Hoffman, as he felt they weren’t important. When he learned my two favorite characters in the series are Hoffman and Adam, he asked which I would marry, and said I should marry Adam because Hoffman is a killer. After four movies, he’s finally starting to question if Lawrence is ever coming back, and why he didn’t go back for Adam. I can’t wait until tomorrow when he sees Lawrence show up.

Jigsaw blew my brother’s mind, but only the end. He thought he saw Logan die in the trailers, not Halloran, so he was understandably shocked when Logan stood up, drenched in “blood.” I’ll give it to him though; he suspected Logan could somehow be helping John through part of the movie. He was also onto Eleanor, but ruled her out when I promised the new Jigsaw was a boy. Nothing else really came from it.

With how my brother handled the twist at the end of Saw IV, I think it’s safe to say that VII will actually kill him. Please ask Cary Elwes to attend my brother’s funeral.
