"One thing about trains: It doesn't matter where they're going. What matters is deciding to get on." - Conductor

Twenty years ago, The Polar Express made it's theatrical debut in cinemas across the United States. Loosely based on the 1985 children's book of the same name written and illustrated by Chris Van Allsburg, the film was directed by Robert Zemeckis (who also directed the Back To The Future trilogy, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Forrest Gump, etc.) With Alan Silvestri producing the film's music. Although the film's premiere was held at the Chicago International Film Fesitval on October 13th 2004, the theatrical debut took place on November 10th of that year.

Among the cast members was Tom Hanks (the voice of Woody in the Disney-Pixar Toy Story franchise) who took on the roles of Chris the Hero Boy, the Conductor, the Hobo, the Ebenezer Scrooge Puppet, Santa Claus, Chris' Father, and the narrator, although Chris' child voice was done by Daryl Sabara with additional motion capture done by Josh Hutcherson.

Other cast members include:

Nona Gaye (voice), Darrian O Driscoll (additional motion capture), Meagan Moore (singing voice), and Tinashe (motion-capture model) as Holly the Hero Girl.

Peter Scolari (motion capture), Hayden McFarland (additional motion-capture), Jimmy Bennett (voice), and Matthew Hall (singing voice) as Billy the Lonely Boy.

Eddie Deezen and Jimmy Pinchak (additional motion capture) as Know-It-All.

Michael Jeter (voice) and André Sogliuzzo (additional voice) as Steamer the Engineer and Smokey the Fireman.

Leslie Zemeckis (motion capture), Isabella Peregrina (voice) and Ashly Holloway (additional motion capture) as Sister Sarah and Chris' Mother.

Dylan Cash as a Boy on the Train.

Brendan King and Andy Pellick as the Pastry Chefs.

Josh Eli, Rolandes Hendricks, Jon Scott, Sean Scott, Mark Mendonca, Mark Goodman, Gregory Gast, and Gordon Hart as the Waiters.

Julene Renee as Red Head Girl and an Elf.

Chris Coppola and Connor Matheus (additional motion capture) as Gus the Toothless Boy and an Elf.

Phil Fondacaro, Debbie Lee Carrington, Mark Povinelli, and Ed Gale as the Elves.

Charles Fleischer as the Elf General.

Steven Tyler as the Elf Lieutenant and Elf Singer.

The locomotive that pulls the train is based on No. 1225, an N-1 class 2-8-4 "Berkshire" type locomotive that was built by the Lima Locomotive Works in October 1941 to pull freight trains for the Pere Marquette Railway. The locomotive's design and sounds were used for the Polar Express while the whistle came from Sierra Railway No. 3, a 4-6-0 "Ten Wheeler" locomotive built by the Rogers Locomotive and Machine Works March 26, 1891.

Upon it's release, the film was met with mixed reviews with many people labeling the film as a "Christmas Classic" and others criticizing the film's characters as "lifeless zombies". The movie recieved a Rotten Tomatoes score of 56% but had otherwise performed successfully in the box office at $318.2 million reaching over the film's budget of $165-170 million. Over the years follwing it's theatrical debut, the film would be released to home media both on DVD and VHS with occasional DVD releases from time to time.

Like all films, The Polar Express also has marketing and other promotional materials. One example comes in the form of games based on the film such as a PS2 game of the same name, a Ticket Chase game, a Train Adventure game, and so forth. Another example is with model railroad and toy train companies such as Lionel and Brio have made various train sets based on the Polar Express train.

A third example includes various Polar Express-themed train ride events loosely based on the train's journey taking place at various heritage railroads during the Christmas season such as on the Durango & Silverton, Grand Canyon Railway, the B&O Railroad Museum, and even from Pere Marquette 1225, although under the name of "North Pole Express". In addition, SeaWorld Orlando did a temporary Christmas Layover of the Wild Arctic motion simulator ride called the "Polar Express Experience" from 2007 to 2015. Other forms of marketing, promotional materials, and merch has come or have came in the form of various board games such as a matching game and Train-opoly, a book showcasing the film's concept art, and even a limited edition cereal.

Despite what some people think of the movie, The Polar Express continues to remain one of the most iconic Christmas movies to this day making occasional returns to cinemas during the Christmas season alongside various other Christmas movies. In fact, this is my number one favorite Christmas movie of all time not just because I'm obviously a railfan, but it's also because that this was the first ever movie I have seen in the theaters. It was this film, alongside Thomas The Tank Engine and I Love Toy Trains, that have gotten me into steam locomotives and trains in general.

To Robert Zemeckis, Alan Silvestri, Tom Hanks, and everyone else who took part in the making of this film, thank you. Happy 20th anniversary to The Polar Express!

For the film asks, all of them? (2010/Chris Evans/Brie Larson/Edgar Wright for the *insert here* questions)

ahh!!! thank you so much for asking anon! this will take a while so i will probs stick most of it under a cut :)

a movie you’ve seen most times in cinema.

i answered this one here!

your most rewatched movie.

that’d be between toy story, the lord of the rings trilogy, moulin rouge, to all the boys i’ve loved before and this weird animated film called tubby the tuba. my grandma owned it on vhs and i spent basically every school holiday at her house so i watched it more times than i can think of!

a movie you quote on a daily basis.

i quote dumb youtube videos more than films on a regular basis, but i do quote a lot of lord of the rings lines like “it comes in pints?!” or anything else that comes out of one of the hobbits mouths.

favorite movie soundtrack

probably moulin rouge? that or the first guardians of the galaxy. they’re the only two that i still own on CD..

top 5 films of your favorite actor and actress

okay so my initial thought for favourite actor is actually tom hanks, so in that case.

forrest gump

philadelphia

toy story

 the green mile

larry crowne (not the most amazing film in the world but it’s so endearing to me!)

and for actress i would probably say toni colette? her or blake lively, but i don’t have a top five for either of them. for toni it’d be;

about a boy

muriel’s wedding

miss you already

and for blake it’d be;

a simple favor

the age of adeline

elvis and annabelle

top 5 performances of your favorite actor and actress.

see above, they’re one and the same to me.

a movie storyline you wish you had actually lived.

about time. might be biased since i’m watching it now, but it’d be nice to do things over if i could.

a movie that reminds you of your mum.

local hero. i’ve watched it with her many times and it’s one of her favourites.

a movie that reminds you of your dad.

any of the harry potter films. we went to all of them at the cinema together.

favorite movies from your childhood.

it’s gonna be toy story again. this will likely be a running theme, i fucking love this movie.

favourite quote(s).

too many to count from the lord of the rings. sam’s monologue at the end of the two towers, gandalf speaking to pippin in return of the king. also sam saying “i can’t carry it for you, but i can carry you!”. this is really just a love letter to sam now, isn’t it….

top 5 favorite female performances.

i would have to come back to this, i can’t brain right now.

top 5 favorite male performances.

see above.

favourite year for movies.

after googling, it looks like 1993 was a bloody good year.

your favorite movies from [insert year].

2010 is the year you mentioned and from looking on google, my faves are toy story 3, how to train your dragon, black swan, scott pilgrim vs the world, easy a, megamind, tangled, AHH DAYDREAM NATION CAME 2010!! MY FAVE!! man, 2010 was a good one :D

favorite [insert actor/actress/director] movies?

so you said chris evans, brie larson and edgar wright. so faves in order would be:

short term 12

captain america: the winter soldier

hot fuzz or the world’s end (can’t pick between the two soz)

list all you’ve seen from [insert actor/actress/director].

so many, my dude. so many.

an underrated actor.

brain is fried. i’m sure there’s some but i’m blanking hard.

an underrated actress.

see above.

an underrated director.

see above.

an overrated actor.

johnny fucking depp.

an overrated actress.

scarlett johansson soz lol

an overrated director.

QUENTIN FUCKING TARANTINO

a film you wish you had seen on the big screen.

like any of my favourite 80s movies or the original psycho. also the lord of the rings, for some reason my folks didn’t take me to those.

a movie you’ve seen that you think no one else’s here will have heard of?

i am yet to encounter someone who knows the previously mentioned tubby the tuba.

favorite movie characters.

steve rogers, rapunzel from tangled, leia skywalker, lara-jean song-covey

a film that was better than the book.

i love to all the boys i loved before, but the film captured me in a way that the book didn’t as much.

best remake.

i’d watch tom holland or andrew garfield over tobey maguire for spiderman any day fight me.

your first favorite actor.

probably orlando bloom? back when i was a wee bab, i watched anything of his that i could find at the video rental.

your first favorite actress.

hilary duff probably. child me watched all of lizzie mcguire and any movies of hers.

favorite animated film.

if you’ve read this far and can’t figure it out, i don’t know what to say. it’s toy story, obviously.

your most anticipated films.

endgame and basically any other superhero movie coming out, toy story 4, the sequel for to all the boys i’ve loved before, the richard curtis movie called yesterday that is coming out in june (???) i think, STAR WARS.

last movie that disappointed you.

sierra burgess is a loser. fuck, no one else wanted that movie to be good as much as i did.

last movie that surpassed your expectations

nothing will ever match how blown away i was by pacific rim when i saw it. i went with my cousin knowing literally NOTHING about it. also i guess 2017′s it. i’m not big on seeing horror at the cinema and i didn’t expect to find it as funny as i did because the kids in it were so great.

actor in need of new agent.

idk bruh, i can’t think of anything right now for this.

actress in need of new agent.

see above.

share an unpopular film opinion you have.

idk how unpopular this is because i’m pretty sure thanks to #metoo most people want these kind of people want out of hollywood, but i despise woody allen and roman polanski films. the fact that i had to study them while getting my degree is despicable, and the argument that they’ve done a lot for the film industry is trash. don’t make their work important, studying it so thoroughly gives it power and i want to never have to speak about their trash again.

favorite Oscar win/speech.

who couldn’t say olivia colman’s from this years oscars. that warmed my cold dead heart and i cried for her.

biggest Oscar snub(s).

arrival should have won/been nominated for more than it did.

who do you think is overdue for another nomination/win?

amy adams!!! she was so fucking amazing in arrival, i wanted her to win all of the things.

how many movies have you seen (rough estimation)?

must be hundreds (not that these answers are any indication since i’ve talked about approx four films) since i own hundreds of DVDs, i go to the cinema regularly, i am constantly watching stuff on netflix and any other streaming services.

a movie that made you go ‘wtf was that’.

un chien andalou, requiem for a dream and mothlight. the first two because they’re fucking disturbing, the last one because its just close ups of parts of moths and i had to watch it for a film paper. it’s a no from me.

a film that scarred you.

the mummy. the beetle under the skin gave me nightmares and i haven’t been able to watch it since.

most movies watched in a single day.

i havent’t taken notes, but i did watch all of the mcu movies with cap in them recently in a day?

a film that always makes you cry.

coco. i’ve yet to make it through without having a full on mental breakdown for the last third of that movie. also marley and me because doggos. and the last part of mamma mia: here we go again. and philadelphia. the take away from this answer is that i cry a lot in movies.

a film that always makes you laugh.

hot fuzz. in my first flat we watched it nearly everyday for like two weeks when we all moved in and watching it makes me think of how much we all laughed and quoted it to one another.

movies that you think everyone should watch (not necessarily your favorites).

get out, psycho, star wars, at least one classic film noir, arrival, the cornetto trilogy, back to the future. there’s more but i think this is a good starter for what i at least find to be important viewing.

a movie that took you a couple of viewings to appreciate.

honestly probably the lord of the rings. they didn’t really click with me until high school, and then they really really clicked. also fight club i guess; the second time around watching it, i got the toxic masculinity themes more. it sucks that men read that movie as the exact opposite.

a book you want to see adapted to the big screen.

i believe i already answered this here!

a book you really, really, really don’t want to see made into a film.

does jk rowling’s twitter count? i want to see nothing more from the harry potter universe that she has had anything to do with.

favorite child performance.

the kids in the goonies and it 2017 come to mind. let kids act like kids!!!

favorite pre-code.

mate, you are making the assumption that i remember enough of the old films i studied in my degree, and that i remember the pre-code dates. i’m sure i have one, but that is buried far too deep in my brain to actually remember.

Favorite silent film.

i really enjoyed the buster keaton stuff we watched when i did my history of film paper.

favorite coming of age film.

boyhood, love simon, the edge of seventeen, my girl (i’ll be honest, i just googled coming of age movies and picked my faves from the top results. doesn’t mean i don’t stand by these!!)

favorite superhero film.

captain america: the winter soldier, spiderman: into the spiderverse, black panther and the dark knight rises.

best cinematography.

i still really like her and wes anderson for their cinematography.

movies you know you should watch, but can’t bring yourself to do it?

so fucking many, my dude. the amount of movies i wrote essays about when i had watched maybe three scenes and read the synopsis is insane. after getting a degree in it, and with how burned out i got, i found it very hard to give a shit about classics that lecturers told me were important. the big one is the godfather; it’ll be a cold day in hell when i finally watch that one.

favorite genres.

i’m a sucker for anything romantic. also film noir, superheroes, animated, female-led, stuff set in the 80s, lgbt film (that isn’t gross and exploitative), comedy horrors. idk man, it’s hard to describe.

least favorite genres.

dull as fuck period pieces that say approximately nothing new and hash out the same old tired shit about treatment of poc and/or women. comedies in the same vein of austin powers, napoleon dynamite and sasha baron cohen stuff. white feminist narratives. anything that is shitty about fat women. 

biggest movie pet peeve.

dark for no fucking reason!!! let films be bright and happy!!! ya girl hates having to strain her eyes to see what the heck is going on.

[roykent6]

ELLIOTT. FORREST FAMILY DISNEY VACATION!!! TELL ME ABOUT THIS!!!!

OH BOY CAN I!!!!!

the first time Emmett goes with Elle to visit her parents in LA she takes him to Disneyland, which is his first time in a Disney park. he LOVES it. she buys him his first pair of Mickey ears and has his name embroidered on the back, and she wears matching Minnie ears.

they start going for a day or two almost every time they’re out there, and finding new things to do each time and finding little routines that make the most out of their days there.

they like getting there early and hitting the big rides like Space Mountain and Indiana Jones before the line gets long, and then getting a bite to eat and doing some of the Fantasyland dark rides and grabbing a fast pass to do Splash Mountain later when it gets hot. they also go over to California Adventure in the afternoon so they can drink and relax and do the Cars ride.

they’re hyper competitive on both the Buzz Lightyear ride and Toy Story Midway Mania. sometimes they have to ride those rides three times to go best two out of three.

Elle loves meeting the princesses and so they go through the princess hall to meet them each time. Emmett could do without the characters (except he does geek out a little when it comes to meeting Darth Vader and Chewbacca), but he happily poses with Elle and whichever princess they’re meeting at that moment.

they’re huge Disney dorks and take lots of those cutesy pictures kissing in front of the castle and all that. they’re also big softies and love to stand all pressed up against each other when they watch the fireworks. catch Elle standing in front and leaning back against Emmett, while he’s got his arms around her and is kind of gently swaying them on the spot in time to the music.

but then!!! they have kids and they both gain this whole new appreciation for Disneyland from seeing it through their kids’ eyes. seeing their kids experience each new ride and meeting characters and watching parades and fireworks is so wonderful and they can’t get enough. hearing one of their kids laugh all the way down the drop on Splash Mountain is like riding that for the first time.

also, Elle can never get enough of seeing Emmett walk around the parks with a kid on his shoulders, or holding them up during fireworks. seeing him carry a sleeping kid down Main Street at the end of the night is enough to make her cry a little, she loves her family so much.

the first few times they go when Eli is little is just as day trips down from LA, like they always used to do before he was born. (and once after when he was less than a year old and they jumped at the chance to leave Eli with his grandparents and go to Disneyland for the day on their own.)

Eli is 3 or 4 when he first starts to really understand and love Disneyland too. he’s tall enough to do some of the rides he wasn’t able to do before. he’s a nervous lil guy but he sits between Elle and Emmett on Big Thunder Mountain and ends up having the time of his LIFE. he’s also big enough to do the other mountain rides and all the Cars rides, and he’s obsessed with Cars Land in general.

he likes characters you can talk to and he’s less crazy about ones like Mickey and Minnie. the Disneyland photographer takes a picture of the three of them talking to Mickey when Eli is around 18 months old, at the exact moment that Eli burst into tears. the expressions on Elle and Emmett’s faces and, somehow, on Mickey’s are priceless, and they have to buy the print of that picture because it’s so good.

once Emma comes along, Eli is thrilled because he gets one last trip to Disneyland just with his parents while Emma is still an infant. then the next year they take her with them. since she’s still a toddler, they get very familiar with the rider swap program, where one parent sits with the baby while the other one rides and then they switch so the one who waited doesn’t have to wait in line twice. this especially works out for Eli, who gets to ride once with each parent, and the more rides the better.

Emma loves every single princess and makes it her mission to see as many of them as she can on each visit. that becomes her and Elle’s special thing to do, and one of the only times they split up while they’re there. Elle will take Emma to go through the princess hall, while Emmett will take Eli to go through the Star Wars spots in Tomorrowland.

then when Emma is old enough too, they decide to go all out and plan a trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando. they go down for the kids’ spring break and stay the whole week in a Disney hotel and get like fully immersed in Disney the whole time.

all four of them get really into pre-planning for this trip, and they spend a lot of nights before bed huddled around an ipad looking at everything they can do, booking their fast passes, making dining reservations, and planning out what they’ll do each day.

they bring Emmett’s mom with them, which is really special because she always wanted to take Emmett to Disney when he was growing up, but could never afford to. they’re really excited to have her with them, especially because they can have her take the kids for a little bit so they can have a nice date night in one of the hotels, and also so they can go to Epcot alone and drink around the world.

they have such a good time, and they fall in love with all the things that are new to them, like Animal Kingdom and Epcot. they all really love the safari ride at Animal Kingdom, and getting to see different animals each time they ride it. 

they make friends with the cast members who work in their hotel, and have really special experiences thanks to them. one afternoon they come back to rest a little before going back at night and Eli gushes to a cast member they’ve gotten to know in the lobby about how cool the Indiana Jones show was, and how amazing the stunts were, and how cool Indy was. that night they come back and there’s an Indiana Jones hat for him in their room with a personalized note signed from Dr. Jones to wear it well. there’s also a Mickey Mouse plush in an Indiana Jones costume for Emma, because of course she couldn’t be left out. Eli wears that hat every day for the rest of the trip.

also, for as much planning they do with the kids to make being at Disney perfect, Emmett and Elle still have some surprises up their sleeves, and they have the kids thinking their leaving on Friday to go home, when really they’re just switching to a hotel at Universal Studios to stay there for a couple of days and go home Sunday.

the kids are shocked because they thought they knew every detail about this trip, when in reality it had been planned and booked at the same time as everything else. but they’re so excited to see the Harry Potter lands, but honestly their excitement is nowhere close to Emmett’s. he definitely has a Moment the first time he sees Hogwarts, and sort of stops short and just stares up at it, slack-jawed. Elle rubs his back a little to snap him out of it, then winks at him, then takes his hand and pulls him after their kids to go on the ride in there.

even though he’s not usually one for spending a lot of money on theme park merchandise, Emmett can’t resist buying all the Ravenclaw gear he can get his hands on, plus wands for everyone. (“look, Elle, you can really do magic with them!”) Emma gets picked for the wand demonstration in Ollivander’s and she is delighted. she giggles through the entire thing because she’s so excited.

all in all they end up doing that trip every year or two, because they have so much fun down there and make so many special memories.

These Violent Delights

by touchstoneaf

Part 2 of "Something Wicked" series (S5, beginning with "Buffy vs Dracula")

Spuffy have been together for a while now. Things have been great. The Scoobies have more or less accepted the reality of their couplehood, Spike finally has his own place, so there’s plenty of thoroughly excellent shag-time, and college is kind of fun when you have a worldly, undead tutor to poke fun at your instructors and help you remember your lessons with fascinating anecdotes or, when that fails, incredibly memorable sexy-times. Life is actually, like, bordering on good.

But then Mr. Eurovamp 2000 blows into town and causes a bunch of jealousy. And then Buffy starts having a bunch of crappy Slayer dreams about glowy purply stuff. And Dawn is going off the hook even more than usual, and Mom is acting weird… And, as if there’s not enough to deal with, Buffy’s pretty sure that idiot Riley Finn is still lurking around town trying to come up with a reason to shoot her boyfriend…

Buffy should have known things couldn’t stay yummy for long. She probably would have started to worry if it had.

On February 9th, Good Tiger will release their sophomore full-length, We Will All Be Gone, via Blacklight Media/Metal Blade Records. For a preview of the album, the new single, “Blueshift” (which was premiered on BBC’s Radio1 Rock Show yesterday, October 1st!), can be heard now at: youtube.com/watch?v=7LZyrtenRtM

Good Tiger comments: “The response to ‘Devil’ has been amazing and we are excited for people to hear another part of the album. We’ll be playing a whole bunch of new material at all forthcoming shows, we’ve been having a lot of fun playing these songs live.”

To hear the first single, “The Devil Thinks I’m Sinking”, please visit: metalblade.com/goodtiger – where the record can be pre-ordered in the following formats:

–Digipak CD –180g Black Vinyl (EU exclusive – limited to 500 copies) –Flesh Pink Clear Vinyl (EU exclusive – limited to 200 copies) –Opaque Pale Pink Vinyl (USA exclusive – limited to 500 copies)

With music instantly accessed at the touch of a button, it seems that the urge to pigeonhole bands as quickly and neatly as possible has been driven to ever more extremes in recent years. Good Tiger, however, forge their own path. Blending their influences in a manner that defies lazy classification sets them apart from their contemporaries, imbuing everything they do with a distinctive sound and feel, and with We Will All Be Gone, Good Tiger have dramatically built upon their stunning debut, 2015′s A Head Full Of Moonlight. Comprised of guitarists Derya “Dez” Nagle and Joaquin Ardiles, bassist Morgan Sinclair, drummer Alex Rudinger and vocalist Elliot Coleman, Good Tiger has raised the stakes across the board – every track on We Will All Be Gone has a definitive character of its own, and none stay in a single gear, all of them dynamic and textured as they evoke various tones and moods. Tracking at Middle Farm Studios in southwest England, the band also recruited producer Forrester Savell (Karnivool/Dead Letter Circus), and engineer/mixer Adam “Nolly” Getgood (Periphery/Animals As Leaders). “We worked with Nolly on the last album, we had a great working relationship, and wanted to explore that further in a more developed situation,” Dez explains. “Forrester has made some of our favorite albums, and is someone we could trust steering the ship. Having self-produced for so long it can be at times quite difficult to let go, so it was important we found people we could fully entrust to help create the album we wanted to make.”

We Will All Be Gone track-listing: 1. The Devil Thinks I’m Sinking 2. Float On 3. Such a Kind Stranger 4. Blueshift 5. Salt of the Earth 6. Grip Shoes 7. Just Shy 8. Nineteen Grams 9. Cherry Lemon 10. I’ll Finish This Book Later

[maddieziegler-news]

I'm not sure why people are having this long discussion about Maddie's role but since everyone wants to be a social justice warrior let me list actor and actresses that have played a character because it or not it is called ACTING! Tom Hanks -low I.Q in Forrest Gump, Leonardo DiCaprio - autistic (What's eating Gilbert Grape) , Patrick Steward -paraplegic (X-men), Dustin Hoffman -autistic (Rain Man), Orlando Bloom - an American (Elizabeth Town)

True and the list could go on and on and I see no one complaining about those. It just makes it very unbelievable. Anyways, I’ve written way more about what I think about this topic yesterday, so I won’t repeat myself now.

ORLANDO BENJAMIN FORRESTER What smells remind them of their childhood? His mother always wore (and still wears) Emeraude perfume. Every now and then someone will pass by Orli and he’ll catch the scent of Emeraude and be immediately transported back to his childhood. What filler words do they use in everyday speech? Do they have an accent or speech impediment? If someone says something that requires an acknowledgement but not a full-on response, he’ll usually say something like “ah,” or “mm,” just something to make it clear he’s listening. He also begins sentences with “well…” if he’s thinking over his response. He just has a typical American accent, no speech impediments and nothing remarkable about his manner of speaking. Do they make quick decisions and act on them? Do they take time out to think about actions and consequences? Orli isn’t exactly impulsive when it comes to his decision making (unless he has no choice but to act on instinct). If he can, he prefers to take some time to really think things through, to look at things from every angle, before he acts. This is why he’s given so much leeway at work to basically do what he thinks is best– the higher-ups know that Orli never acts on a whim and wouldn’t be doing anything unless he’d considered all the possibilities, all the possible outcomes, etc. How many unread messages are in their phone? None. Orli reads all of his messages as soon as they come in, and responds immediately unless the message doesn’t require a response. He’s not one to leave unread texts, emails, or anything else. Where do they go when they’re angry? Anywhere that will get him away from the source of his anger. If he’s angry at work, he’ll make an excuse to leave the office for whatever reason (whether it’s to do some research or to grab some coffee) and will just hang out in his car for a while until he’s calmed down. Outside of work, he usually takes out any anger or frustration by doing some kickboxing at the gym. On what occasion do they lie? Orli isn’t too much of a liar, he usually tells the truth about things, or tries to give a diplomatic answer if he can’t be as honest as he’d like (this happens a lot when he speaks with the higher-ups at work). Mainly he tells little white lies, harmless lies just for the sake of sparing people’s feelings or keeping the peace. He’s not brutally honest by any means and doesn’t want to make anyone feel needlessly bad about themselves. How would they respond to an apology from somebody they still can’t forgive? He would probably say he accepts the apology if it seems sincere. He still would never forget what they did, but he would at least be civil if it really did seem like they were sorry. But if the apology seemed insincere to him, he wouldn’t accept it and would continue to ignore the person whenever possible. What is the worst thing they did to someone they loved? He cheated on his girlfriend while he was in college. He got wasted at a party after midterms and ended up hooking up with a random guy. He felt absolutely horrible about the situation and confessed to her right away. She was understandably upset and broke up with him on the spot. Although he was heartbroken, since she was his first love, he didn’t fight her on it or try to convince her to stay with him because he knew he’d completely fucked up and ruined any trust they had between them. They sort of made up about a year later and became friends, though of course things were never the same between them. Do they enjoy working out? Do they play any sports? Orli really enjoys doing various types of martial arts– his current interest is kickboxing, and he has been taking classes for a few months. He’s also done kenpo karate, taekwondo, and jiu jitsu. He’s not a black belt or anything, he just enjoys dabbling and likes taking out his anger in a constructive way. He used to do track in high school, but he’s not really into running anymore. Do they believe people who say they have no regrets? Do they have any? If not, why don’t they have any? Orli thinks that anyone who says they don’t regret anything is full of shit. In his mind, if you don’t regret anything, then you haven’t learned anything or bettered yourself. He has plenty of regrets, some more significant than others. Which do they prefer, a lot of attention, or a little appreciation? Appreciation, hands down. Too much attention makes him feel a bit smothered, but any type of appreciation, even a quick thank you or an acknowledgment of his hard work, gives him a lot of satisfaction. Where do they feel the safest? Once Orli and his siblings all started doing well for themselves, they all pitched in to help buy their parents their dream home in Gig Harbor, Washington. It’s a very lovely, slightly secluded home with a gorgeous view. Orli goes to visit them there at least once a year, and just being there is extremely relaxing for him. By far, it’s the place he feels the safest. Are they more likely to ask for permission or forgiveness? Although he’s not the type to just go rogue all the time, he’s also not someone who asks permission for every little thing. If there’s something he wants to do, something he thinks will help a case along, but he thinks the higher-ups might say no, he’ll just do it without asking and tell them about it later. He’s never really gotten in trouble because it’s always worked out well in the end. Do they stay up late or wake up early? Both. If Orli had his way, he’d stay up late and also sleep in– that’s just the way his body clock is. But as it is, he stays up late (both to work and for pleasure), then wakes up fairly early for work. He does sleep in on his days off, and absolutely refuses to do anything that would require him to get up early on those days. Have they ever been bullied or teased? Orli grew up in Springfield, Illinois, which is widely known for being one of the most racist towns in the US. So, yes, he’s been bullied, teased, assaulted, and all manner of things. His parents tried to tell him to keep his head down, to not start anything or fight back because they were always worried that if he tried to fight back it would only make things worse for him. But by the time Orli got to middle school, he was tired of just taking it. He snapped one day when one of his bullies started bothering him and ended up beating the shit out of him. Orli got in huge trouble and was nearly expelled from school, but everyone pretty much backed off after that, so he felt it was worth it. Who was their first best friend? Where did they meet him or her? Do they still see each other? His first best friend was a classmate of his from high school named Robby. He had friends before that, but no one he was super close with or hung out with all the time. It wasn’t until high school when Orli became more social and started making a ton of friends– he was quite popular. Robby was on the track team with him, and they became fast friends. They aren’t really in touch anymore, but Orli will always think of him fondly. What are their weaknesses? Hubris? Pride? Controlling? He is definitely prideful, and has a hard time admitting when he needs help, or when he’s struggling. Those are things he tends to keep to himself. He feels that he needs to be completely self-reliant, and that asking for help shows too much weakness. He also has a hard time saying no to people if they ask him to do something, and as a result, he is always stretched very thin. He takes on far too many projects/requests at a time and just ends up stressing himself out– this is part of the reason why his former partner was such an asset. He always said no for Orli and basically told people to stop asking him/them to do anything more, that they were already busy enough with their own responsibilities. What are their eating habits? Orli is quite a healthy eater. He’s the type to view food purely as fuel, rather than something for enjoyment. He’s a decent cook and usually does meal prep for himself on his days off so he’ll have food he can quickly pop into the microwave without having to think too much. Once in a while he will indulge in something like a slice of cake, or a burger and fries, but the majority of the time he prefers to stick to healthier things. What is the most violent thing they’ve ever done, and the most violent thing done to them? The most violent thing he’s ever done was beating up a bully in middle school. The kid ended up in the hospital, though his injuries weren’t serious enough that he needed to stay overnight or anything– he had a couple of broken bones, a broken nose, and needed some stitches on his face. Orli has shot people in the line of duty, but he would consider that less violent, because he always does his best to remain calm and collected and only shoots to incapacitate rather than kill. He has had a lot of violence directed at him in his life. Fellow classmates used to hit him and push him, he was assaulted by a police officer once (before he became a detective). But the most violent thing done to him was when him and his partner were caught in a firefight in the middle of a drug bust. His partner was killed, and Orli ended up in the ICU with severe injuries. Did they have an easy or difficult childhood? Overall, it was pretty difficult. Growing up where he did was not easy and he had a hard time making friends or living any sort of normal life. But his parents and siblings were a great support system, and he never felt like he was completely alone. Things got much easier for him in high school, when his father got a new job in another state and they moved to a much less backwards town. He ended up loving high school because his classmates weren’t all racist assholes and he made tons of friends.

(1) First Disney movie? I honestly couldn’t remember. I reckon I was a toddler the first time I watched a Disney movie, so the chances of me knowing which one it was are very slim. But the movie I have the most fond childhood memories about is The Lion King.

(2) Favorite Disney movie (besides BatB)? Again, this is hard to answer. There are so many different kinds of Disney movies; animated musicals, animated non-musicals, live action musicals, live action non-musicals, and the list goes on. If I absolutely had to pick one, it would probably either be The Lion King or Saving Mr. Banks.

(3) Favorite Disney princess (besides Belle)? Moana.

(4) Favorite non-princess Disney movie? Again, The Lion King or Saving Mr. Banks.

(5) Non-Disney related fandom? I have quite a few, but my biggest ones atm are Fantastic Beasts and Criminal Minds.

(6) Favorite Disney song? Oh god, seriously? It’s impossible to pick one. A few of my favorites are I’ll Make a Man Out of You, I See the Light, Colin Farrell’s Chim Chim Cher-ee (East Wind) from Saving Mr. Banks, and Can You Feel the Love Tonight.

(7) Favorite BatB song? Beauty and the Beast (Finale) and Evermore (Dan’s version, not Josh’s lol).

(8) Favorite non-Disney movie? Hm, I’m really not sure. I’m a big Tom Hanks fan, so maybe like Forrest Gump or Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close? I also really love While You Were Sleeping.

(9) One random fact about you: I’ll make this Disney related since most of the questions pertain to Disney. Also, this is more of a story than a fact, but it’s still funny. When I was a sophomore in high school, we went to Orlando, Florida for spring break. So of course, we went to Universal and Disney, as most people do when they go to Orlando. Except, the days we went to Disney, it was actually colder out, like around 65 degrees. I only packed 2 sweaters (to sleep in, mind you. I didn’t think I would need sweaters in Florida), and I grabbed the first one out of my bag without looking since we were in a hurry. I threw it on when we get to the park, still not realizing just which sweater I was wearing. It wasn’t until we got to the entrance, and one of the people who worked at the park was like, “Uh... I don’t think you can wear that...” My dumb ass grabbed the sweater that said ‘Hakuna Matata Bitch’ on it. I was wearing a profanity around hundreds of children. And because it was chilly and I didn’t want to have to buy a whole sweatshirt, they made me put a Mickey Mouse pin over the ‘B’ on my sweater, so I walked around the park the whole day wearing a sweater that said ‘Hakuna Matata Itch’. 

(10) Favorite moment from the BatB live action film? The Growl™. Also, the whole transformation scene. Adam’s eyes and deep exhale when he sees Belle, the way they caress each other’s faces, the fact that not a word was spoken but the intensity of their emotions was still evident in their body language and facial expressions. And that kiss.

(11) Which character in the live action BatB do you relate to the most? Honestly? Pre-curse Adam. I too am trashy and dramatic.
