Just two boys in the boat. Guys being dudes. Dudes being gay.

some of my favorite things about Anora in no particular order (SPOILERS BELOW):

the goons, wow what all timer movie goons. concussed guy for goon of the year

when anora beats the shit out of those goons for a fifteen minute stretch and they get increasingly more afraid of her. comedy gold, just pitch perfect comedy treading the line between should-i-be-worried-for-her and the disarming buffoonery of the goons

ivan's mom stomping on the last step of the private jet stairs. her incredible houndstooth suit. every second of her on screen.

all of them throwing the pens at the annulment woman

ivan's dad dying laughing during the annulment as anora throws all of the moms shit on the ground

every parking in new york joke from the ticket in front of the courthouse to getting towed down on brighton beach

how the entire time, nobody pulls out a weapon, not once. and yet, the threat of violence and danger still lingers in the periphery because of the deftly constructed tension of the roving camera and contextually what we don't know about this family and the broader scope of ivan's world and the looming threat of the parents. how far can she push the goons until they get violent, and yet they never really do, but baker never lets you exhale that breath.

when they walked into tatianas..... like sean does his RESEARCH

also the t.A.T.u needle drop like i screamed

also the fight over driving or walking for five minutes in the cold. the new york specificity in this movie is pinpoint accurate, down to the mundane

the ending, her having a breakdown release of everything that had happened to her and how humiliated she was, but also how she thought she had gotten out and made a fairytale of her life. how using her body was the only power she has ever had, and how that was what she defaulted to with Igor in that last scene, but it was when he wanted to kiss her that the facade of power broke down and so did she. how she had to face her own humanity, and in that moment ask herself if she wanted to kiss him, because he was giving her perhaps her first real choice in a long time, and that opened a pathway to maybe questioning whether she truly wanted any of what had happened to her. maybe in that moment she realized that her body is not as powerful as she perhaps convinced herself it was. she was far more powerless than all her bravado and will probably always be powerless in the socioeconomic systems of the world that are built up around her. how disposable she was made to feel maybe for the first time, and how she thought she had built up that bravado and detached arrogance around herself so that she would never feel that way, but the feeling still seeped through nonetheless. all of that delivered wordlessly, in silence, buried under the falling white snow that will throw a white, pristine blanket over everything as if nothing significant had happened at all.

but also like igor, i too would fall in love with her almost instantly and tbh i did. rip to Ivan, anora i am hopelessly in love with you, and i would die for you.

here's my theory based on the trailer: vanessa is a bold-faced liar. because look at this. this shot right here.

abby is stood well within lunging reach of foxy. she's right there. and sure, this could just be foxy getting distracted in the moment, but look at abby. she's not backed away. her hands aren't thrown up in defense, she doesn't even look scared.

if their goal was to "make her like them", they should be attacking her, right? at the very least, abby should be scared or something, but she's not.

my guess right now is that the animatronics and the kids inside are likely trying to protect abby from becoming like them. but vanessa can't let mike know that. she has to keep him distracted from the real person who's out to get abby --

the same one who got the original five.

i decided to try to watch sex and the city from the beginning and i think the reason i struggle with this show is that it's always like "ladies, you know how [insert thing that's supposed to be relatable here]?" and i'm always just like, "........... no"

denki: life hack: if a room in your house starts to smell, make some popcorn and open the bag in there, eat the popcorn, and leave the empty bag in the room for a couple of hours. now the room smells like popcorn! shinso: it is THREE in the FUCKING morning denki, GO TO BED.

imagine if instead of having vic mignogna keldeo, we got an iris movie about her relationship with kyurem

[jessaerys]

hate to say it but strictly on a storytelling level civil war kind of slaps. this can be said about alex garland: he knows how to spin a yarn

[polysyndetonaddictsupportgroup]

i read part of the first chapter of sea glass gardens a while ago but decided to come back once I knew more about the characters and world building of jjk. Anyways and I watched jjk 0 and your telling me he actually blew up the school with the power of love??? Like full on textually the power of love??? He straight up used the power of love to nuke Geto and subsequently the school??? Are you kidding me?? I'm losing my mind. What the fuck

my boy has powerful love within him and also incredible and indiscriminate violence. what more could you want from a character.

Hands of hips looking down shaking my head I don't know how to sugarcoat this so I won't but signs is so much better than nope. I don't know how people even say the movie aged bad. I think the feelings they have for the director cloud their view (I don't even know how either of his names). You got a 1:30hs movie vs a 2hs movie (I'm cutting the 10 minutes of credit for both) where in one you are never bored and are gripped by emotions and the other where you sit waiting for anything to happen. Like I'm sorry but there's no fight here. Hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby.

Anyone have recs for horror movies in the same vein as Alien and The Thing?

I like movies that don’t rely on a ton of jump scares and excessive realistic gore.

Maybe it's because of hindsight and the fact that I already have the knowledge of how the manbaby fan boys treated him, but every time I rewatch Phantom Menace I'm befuddled at the reaction to Jake Lloyd's acting

Like, what is it about his portrayal as Anakin that was so terrible? This isn't even bad acting by child actor standards, Jake Lloyd pulls off the role very well, he plays a child in the SW universe,and more specifically he plays exactly what Anakin is in Ep I, an excitable, kind, somewhat naive little boy

rewatched nope last night so i am pleased to announce i will be adding Jean Jacket to the character list

[nei-ning]

Me in bed, rolling ideas in my head: "Okay so, my story has a basic plot. Perhaps I could improve it by adding this kind of scene. Making Raphael say and do this and Leo responses to him -"

Mind: "*slaps very vivid image of a rock to my eyes* OH LOOK, A ROCK! That's nice and fine looking rock on the ground! It's nice and round, gray in color. Hey, remember when you found and held nice rock as a kid?"

Me: "Brain, stop that. That rock has nothing to do with my idea. Let me focus. So, the situation could be like this when this happe-"

Mind: "Damn, I want cinnamon rolls. Should we go get them? Or perhaps we could go swim this summer! You haven't swim in decades."

Me: "No, we can't have cinnamon rolls. Store's closed. About swimming, I don't have swimsuit and you know it. Would you NOW shut up? I'm trying to work here!"

Mind: *is silent for few seconds longer than before* "Damn, that character is hot. His voice actor has such a lovely voice too."

Me: *tries to ignore the mind and focus, but drifts off with it, snapping out at some point, eventually ending up back to flow with the mind, focusing on unnecessary things*

[crownspeaksblog]

This was probably one of the most fucked up things I've ever seen and the fact that it's a backstory to show jupes desire to tame the fucking ufo creature thing due to past trauma is just alot!!

The whole time i was watching this scene i kept thinking no wonder humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor. Like this animal was killing people left, right and center with its bare hands!! (i know this is a movie but i don't doubt these animals ability to kill when frightening or provoked!)
