Decided to watch Flags of our Fathers (2006) tonight to cross it off the War Dramas list and after ten minutes decided I just needed to keep the IMDB page up because I keep recognizing people. (Benjamin Walker? Stark Sands? JAMIE BELL???)
Also having a real hard time taking Neal McDonough seriously. Sir, weren't you just here?

Clint Eastwood's 'Flags of Our Fathers' on Prime Video, Paramount+ and MGM+
Clint Eastwood’s Flags of Our Fathers (2006) is ostensibly about an iconic moment in World War II history: the story behind the raising of the American flag on Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima by five Marines and a Navy corpsman, a moment immortalized with a photograph featured on the cover of Life Magazine and later recreated as a sculpture. It’s about so much more. Adapted from the nonfiction book…

'Oppenheimer is one of the most hotly discussed film releases of the year, especially when compared to the release of Barbie, with the two films standing in stark contrast to one another as they both head for box office domination. But there is one country where Oppenheimer may fall short, and there is a reason tangled in history and pain for that.
Currently, Japan has no release date for Christopher Nolan’s film about the creation of the atomic bomb. Japan is the only country in which atomic bombs have been used as a part of warfare, with two dropped in 1945, one on Hiroshima on Aug. 6 and the next a few days later on Nagasaki on Aug. 9. The result was over 200,000 civilians dead and thousands more displaced and suffering from the long-term effects of radiation poisoning.
These two devastating bombs dealt the last blow to end WWII, but their destruction was catastrophic, bringing Japan to its knees and forcing an unconditional surrender. You can see why a movie about the creation of such weapons of mass destruction has a different impact on this country. The absence of a release date for the film in Japanese theaters is attributed to various reasons, including their own history with the subject matter and the workings of the movie industry here.
Why does it not have a release date in Japan?
Western movies, particularly the big blockbuster crowd pleasers like Marvel films or Disney animations, frequently dominate the lineup in Japanese theaters, while foreign films often face challenges in securing screenings here. It is likely that, even with its subject matter, Oppenheimer will gain a release; the question is more about when.
As reported in Variety, Universal stated that “plans have not been finalized in all markets,” which could mean that they are simply still organizing when to release the film. They may feel that the U.S. release date is too close to the anniversary of those devastating days and may be holding off to wait until some time has passed before releasing here out of respect. As of last week, Toho-Towa, the distributor responsible for handling most Hollywood films in the country, had not yet screened the film.
Many Western films get slightly later release dates in Japan as it is, with Barbie not premiering until August 11 a full three weeks after its release in the States, so this could simply be the case as well. Hollywood has some influence in when their films are released here, but at the end of the day, Japan has the final say, as they have their own structure for releasing films, and it can sometimes be months behind release dates in their domestic country with release dates also taking some time to be announced.
Do Japanese theatergoers turn up for WWII movies?
There is another duality at play here as well. Nolan films do well in Japan, with Tenet and Dunkirk earning $25 million and $14.8 million in the country, respectively, but Western films surrounding the topic of the bombings don’t tend to bring out the crowds.
Hugh Jackman’s The Wolverine, set in Japan and featured a short sequence that showed the bombing, fell a little flat here with only $7.9 million grossed. The Clint Eastwood war film Letters from Iwo Jima, a Japanese language film with a Japanese cast and told from the Japanese perspective, did much better than the film Flags of Our Fathers, which told the same story from the American stance. So even if Oppenheimer is released here, the box-office takings may not be great, especially since it has also been rated R.
Of course, this makes sense. Japanese audiences will want to watch a film in their own language told from their own people’s perspective, so given that Oppenheimer is from the American view, they may not be as interested. That being said, reportedly, Pearl Harbor actually did quite well in the Japanese market, with Japanese critics being kinder to it than domestic critics.
Nolan believes that the story is an important one, though, saying at CinemaCon, “Like it or not, J. Robert Oppenheimer is the most important person who ever lived. He made the world that we live in for better or for worse. His story has to be seen to be believed.”
You can watch Oppenheimer in theatres in the States from July 21. However, for those like myself living here in Japan, the release date, if there even is one, is still unknown.'

It's so wild to me that as a community we're still so hostile to multigender and genderfluid people existing in gay and lesbian spaces.
You...are aware that people who are both men and women are allowed to be gay, right? And lesbian? Their other genders doesn't cancel their connection to womanhood, or manhood, or whatever else they id with. They are allowed to be gay despite their fem-alignment, and they are allowed to be lesbian despite their masc-alignment.
It comes from these weird online spaces that the standard to be gay or lesbian is to be a "non-woman" or a "non-man," which is inherently transmultiphobic and...extremely ahistorical. And completely misunderstands nonbinary identity. So if you're both then you just don't belong anywhere I suppose.
#they treat these people as abnormal when really shoving anyone into categories of non-women and non-men is fucking#completely out of touch with how identity works#like i saw a demiboy lesbian flag and the comments are just FILLED with teenage queers getting so mad for no reason#saying shit like im in your walls or your father left you or whatever#please this is so CHILDISH grow UP#multigender#genderfluid#gay#lesbian#lesboy#turigirl#queer#lgbtq#just a he/they transmasc nonbinary boydyke lesbian VERY tired of this nonsense#actually erasure of multigender experience and that one of our genders will cancel out the other#made me very resistant to the fact that i may still be connected to feminity and girlhood#even though i am undoubtedly am#transmultiphobia

really disappointing that bunjywunjy had to be pestered twice just to quietly remove their reblog after using their huge platform to encourage garbage like raving about the lesbian estonian soviet flag and how 'new pride flag just dropped' so people could go 'ooh pretty' about a flag that was forced onto us by ppl who wanted our culture gone and oppressed us for about a century in total if not more.
to say nothing or not show anything of the truth about that flag and quietly remove the reblog felt more like it was done out of obligation (and you didn't agree) rather than care for the subject matter that is still a fresh wound in our country's memory. it's only been 33 years since it ended.
I'd rather you make the mistake about something you didn't know (eastern european history is easy for westeners to overlook, because we're not a big country like them, we're not england or france or spain or germany) and admit/apologize for said mistake or even just outright state that you don't actually care rather than say nothing and quietly remove something so that people would stop talking about it
#regardless of your opinions on communism the ussr was a tragedy for much of eastern europe#and we still suffer under its effects today#did you know that when the ussr occupied us that estonians couldn't even be the majority of the population in our own country?#they flooded in and tried to make our country like them#they arrested anyone who wore the colors of our flag#and all while they settled into our countries (it wasnt just estonia but amywhere they occupied) they forcefully deported us out of it#into moving steel boxes of the trains in the harsh winter#people packed in like anchovies with barely any room to die from the starvation#but nobody talks about that#nobody cares about eastern europe#nobody bothers#so i get american tankies telling me garbage like how im just reciting 'CIA propaganda'#as if i give a fuck about what some yankoid organization in some unrelated country says#our families lived that shit#at the time i was born the only people who couldve gotten an estonian birth certificate were still children#what do you think our mothers and fathers and grandmothers and grandfathers lived in?#people only care that a flag looks pretty#and not what the flag actually meant

If it wasn't for your Tumblr, I never would've watched The 10th (Tenth?) Kingdom. I thank you. 😃
You're welcome.
Now you too can live with the knowledge that we'll never get the planned sequel and, as a result, never see the abomination that these two managed to spawn.
I am haunted by the fact Simon Moore (writer) confirmed that their offspring would be 100% wolf.
#'Don't freak out Virginia. Our love is so pure that it transcends all boundaries--including nature's laws!'#trashtalk#the tenth kingdom#anonymous#I think one of the reasons the Tenth Kingdom is so fascinating to me is because of how unintentionally (?) dark it is#A human woman giving birth to an animal. Wolf's heavily implied cannibalism ( and heavily implied . . . other stuff )#EVERYTHING going on with Virginia's mother. Oh yeah and Wolf's family being burnt alive :- )#on a lighter note Simon Moore also confirmed that their hellspawn was in fact intended to be female#despite Wolf's previous statement 'He's a little furry chap just like me!'#so either Wolf's senses aren't as sharp as he boasts or . . . -trans flag cross fade-#and on top of /becoming/ a father Wolf was apparently meant to reunite with his own along the way#Do you know how badly I want to see the man who reared a reprobate like Wolf#and then there's the 'Wolf becomes a girl's boarding school teacher' subplot...............................................................
