[fromcenotaphy]

What's your take on HBO Balthazar? It's such an underappreciated character, a true chaotic neutral. (btw I'm loving all your headcanons because they're *on point*. You have a wonderful, brilliant mind)

💖 thank you, that’s so sweet! yeah hbo balthazar is hmmm just [doing coke in the enormous, empty parlor of an enormous, empty mansion overlooking the sea] [knows exactly how many gallons of alcohol he needs to consume in order to feel the buzz through his grace] [enochian warding woven around him like tangled cobwebs] [singes his fingertips on holy fire to remind himself he’s still an angel] [four-figure bottle service at invite-only nightclubs, surrounded by strobing lights and human strangers] [riding a high arctic wind alongside castiel, their wings almost brushing] [sutures the weapons of heaven into himself, so that each one he gives away leaves a scar] [spent the late 1800s addicted to gambling] [slipping away from his garrison to spin roulettes in vegas, roll dice in monte carlo, cheat at cards in macau] [assigned to attend at castiel’s questioning in season 4] [watches impassively from the far wall of the cell, jaw clenched tight] [flies to the gobi afterward, crouches on a cold silver dune and vomits into the sand, vessel shaking in a way it’s never done before] [fondness for delicate fabrics, the way they shiver and glide against his skin] [unreadable expression the first time he sees dean, catches the lightning-pine scent of castiel’s grace radiating off of him] [snapped the lock on heaven’s dungeons on his way past, heard the pandemonium starting up behind him and grinned into the stratospheric dark] [lying on the roof of a train as it speeds through the european countryside] [grace burning through the last of the night’s excesses] [watches the stars streak overhead and counts the weapons still sparking and humming inside his body]

[kellykline]

@angelicjack and i have been hard at work on hbo spn: dadstiel and his son jack edition

HBO Cas

is nonbinary, like all angels are. Technically ungendered, if you want to get into it. He tolerates he/him pronouns and traditionally male language because it doesn’t really matter to him anyway. 

is an agent of Heaven sent to do work on Earth. What work? Stuff. Things. None of your business. It’s top secret, hush-hush, very covert.

still has Jimmy Novak as a vessel, but their weird fucked up relationship is explored in much greater detail. They talk and interact and bitch at each other.

looks incredibly normal. Nothing stands out about him. You physically stop seeing him in groups of more than seven people. You forget what his face looks like when you’re not looking at him. (Except Jack, who can always see him) This is what makes Jimmy his true vessel, and an ideal one to boot.

is a terrible gossip.

has iridescent black wings. Humans cannot see them, but they can perceive them when they get near the space they’re occupying. 

will go to the cocaine and alcohol-fuelled orgies Balthazar throws, but not participate because he’s sex averse. He’ll just do some coke and go on refreshment runs for the participants. Maybe supervise. 

HBO Jack

physically looks around 13-16 years old, but he’s actually much, much older. He ages very slowly. 

has heterochromia. One eye is blue, the other is dull gold. Blue sees the human, physical plane and gold sees the celestial plane. When he looks at Cas, it alternates between human form and true form.

looks very slightly wrong in ways you can’t name. It makes him stand out in a crowd. 

looks a little different every time you see him, but in an incredibly recognizable way. 

was a chestburster baby.

has a bit of a limp from when he caught polio.

has very small light brown wings that never fully grew in. He still has some dark green downy feathers that never fell out.

has to keep his wings under his clothes so people don’t see. It makes it look like he has a bit of a hump on his back.

HBO Cas and HBO Jack

are autistic.

regularly go on working on scheduled assignments from Heaven together that require weird, terrible magical spells and techniques.

celebrate their birthdays on the same day.

talk mostly in Enochian or on their own special frequency of angel radio with each other, because Jack is most comfortable that way. 

saw Star Wars on opening day.

look wrong in every picture they take. Oversaturated, red eyes, lens flares, etc. because their powers send electronics on the fritz. But they are also both very bad at taking pictures, so they’re all blurry and framed wrong too. 

went to the moon after the moon landing. 

could potentially eat anything but have sensory issues, so they don’t.

cry tears of blood.

[alstroemeriatea]

hbo!destiel sin and such headcanons

- Cas smokes weed more heavily than Dean but Dean loves to get high off him [read shotgunning][and Dean thinks that’s the sexiest shit ever when there’s thick smoke between them and Cas’ mouth is hot on his, their lips never quite touching which drives him i n s a n e]

- At one point Dean hooks up with Gabriel and Balthazar because Cas pissed him off and Cas made sure he regretted it next time he saw it

- They both like it rough [keyword here is rough]

- Like to the point Sam intervened with a knife to Cas’ throat the morning after [Dean dazed with exhaustion and [consensual] bruises all over his body ][You think hurting is some sick k!nk? You keep this up I’ll bleed you out, Cas] [Cas laughs, paying no attention to Sam and running his hands through Dean’s hair as Dean stares at him][What do you think, baby? Wanna give him a show?] Sam stormed out of there and learned not ask about their sex life after that

- Dean sleeps around (a lot) but his habits break off the longer he’s with Cas (monogamy becomes part of their relationship because it’s mutually decided they want each other exclusively) 

- They don’t have sex when they’re inebriated as much as you’d think - they both prefer to have their rights minds about them when they’re in deep

- Both of them have an edge for danger during sex, but something stops them from really tearing each other apart [at one point Cas recommended that Dean sleep with other people to stagger the blood lust, but Dean refused. The edge translated later to other interests that both of them eagerly partook in]

- Dean doesn’t cry during sex, but his eyes tend to water more often then not when they make love [both learn what making love is with each other for the first time][it’s a moment they both hold close to their hearts]

- Wings - which Cas allows Dean to see when they have sex - are an erogenous zone, and sometimes Dean will hold a lighter under them as Cas writhes, the inky black feathers never igniting entirely but burn at the edges until the scent of smoke fuels the room and Cas is keening][it’s pure torture and he’s addicted]

- Any other HCs?

On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969, Bond no. 6, Dir. Peter R. Hunt)

After a successful run of 5 Bond films, Sean Connery decided to hang up the holster and explore other ventures. This would not be a permanent departure from the series, in fact it would not be his only departure and return to the series, but we'll get into that. After Connery's temporary retirement from the role, series producers Broccoli and Saltzman began pre-production for filming an adaptation of The Man With The Golden Gun, featuring Roger Moore as Bond, intending to shoot it in Cambodia. However, between Roger Moore signing up for another series of the television show The Saint and political instability in southeast Asia at the time, this didn't come to fruition, thus TMWTGG and Moore were shelved for a later day. In fact, OHMSS was originally to be made post-Goldfinger, but the rights legal battle I mentioned a few posts ago was resolved, and EON was able to move forward with Thunderball.

Enter George Lazenby, a 29 year old Australian model who had more or less no acting experience aside from appearing in a chocolate bar commercial. Lazenby is kind of the movie star that was never to be. He kinda lucked into an astonishing amount of potential by starring in this movie, but unfortunately for him, he squandered it by declaring shortly into filming that he would only be starring as James Bond in one film, as he had been convinced by his manager the the Bond franchise would not remain solvent into the seventies. Yes, time has born this out to be an incredibly poor decision, and incredibly ironic, as the franchise has stood the test of time very well. But, going from the tumultuous 60s into the more civilized and freer 1970s, who's to say if it would have been at the time? Yes, hindsight is 20/20. It's easy to, in 2019, laugh at Lazenby's decision as very poor judgment and mismanagement, but at the time it was not known that the Bond franchise would be a titan that transcends decades.

The movie begins with James Bond driving along in his sweet new Aston Martin DBS Vantage, when he gets passed by a totally bitchin' red Mercury Cougar XR-7. Given that the Merc was driven by a pretty woman, Bond naturally takes an interest, and prevents her from drowning herself in the ocean.....and is attacked by two thugs who presumably want the woman. After beating them down, the women takes off as Bond quips "this never happened to the other fellow", and opening credits role.

The woman, revealed to be contessa Teresa di Vicenzo, or, just Tracy to her friends, is the troubled daughter of an Italian crime lord. Her father, seeing some kind of potential in Bond, attempts to bribe him into wedding his daughter with a princely dowry of one million pounds. Bond refuses, however, he continues to romance Tracy on the condition that her dad reveal the location of his nemesis, SPECTRE numero uno, Ernst Stavro Blofeld. Finally having a shot at Blofeld, Bond returns to London only to be told by his superior M to drop it, and Bond resigns from MI6. Well, tries to, at least, as M's secretary Moneypenny changes the resignation notice to a request for vacation. Bond then makes tracks to Tracy's dad's birthday, where he finds himself in a genuine romantic relationship with her. Inevitably, her father's sources lead Bond to a geneologist for London's College of Arms, and learns that Blofeld is scheming to attain a title of nobility, claiming to be Count Balthazar de Bleuchamp, and that he is holed up in a mountain in neutral Switzerland, running an allergy clinic. Impersonating the geneologist and donning his silliest outfit, Bond heads for Piz Gloria, Blofeld's compound high in the Alps, and, after seducing several of the young patients and finding out that they're being brainwashed to taint the world's food supply, Bond is caught and outed at the spy he is, despite coming face to face with Blofeld, who apparently remembered him looking more like a certain Scotsman. Bond is imprisoned, but escapes by skiing down the mountain with the bad guys, including Blofeld's head henchwoman, Irma Bunt, behind him. Hiding from his pursuers in a mountain town, he comes across, of all people, Tracy, who is in town doing some skating. Together they take flight in her Cougar, and more skiing ensures. Blofeld triggers an avalanche, and manages to abduct Tracy. Along with her father and his men, Bond stages a daring raid on Piz Gloria, and rescues Tracy, but Blofeld manages to escape on a secret bobsled. Later, with M, a weepy Moneypenny and a proud Q present, Bond and Tracy wed, only for Blofeld and Bunt to gun her down in a drive-by shooting, leaving James Bond to weep over the body of his dead wife.

Fifteen or so years ago, when I was first REALLY getting into the series, Lazenby and OHMSS were stalwarts of worst Bond/Bond movie lists everywhere. Contemporary reviews seemed to focus on one thing: George Lazenby isn't Sean Connery. Connery had been the face of the series since the beginning, a series for which the public had a voracious appetite for. In my personal opinion, they just weren't ready for the face of that to change. However, in 2019, as I right this, the movie has undergone considerable reappraisal. Industry bigshots Steven Soderberg and Christopher Nolan have cited it as their favorite of the series. Lazenby himself is still rather polarising. You either like him or you don't. I do. I personally believe that had he stuck with the role, and gone on to make Diamonds are Forever and especially Live and Let Die, and we had not had poor Roger Moore languish in the role til 19-80-fucking-6, we would have had a vastly different franchise. A franchise that I lement the loss of the possibilities of, and had Lazenby been the face of that franchise, matured with it, I think he would be infinitely better remembered. He has a youthful flippancy about him, and a greater physicality than Connery ever had. I genuinely enjoy the dynamic between him and Tracy, who is played by Diana Rigg, who modern audiences will probably NOT (it has been 50 years since OHMSS) recognize and Olenna Tyrell from the HBO juggernaut Game of Thrones. A lot of people didn't like when Bond wept over her dead body. I do agree that Connery probably would not have done that. For me Lazenby balances the quintessential hard drinkin' Aston Martin drivin' PPK shootin' womanizin' tropes that the series had become known for with a healthy dose of humanity. The things he could have done...even though it was literally 20 years before my birth....still bothers me.

The action in this movie is both thrilling and beautifully shot. The skiing scenes put that of Moore-era flick The Spy Who Loved Me, which was made nearly a decade later, to shame. The car chase with the big, brawny Cougar XR-7 is just awesome, a chase made better for me by the fact that it's Tracy, not Bond, behind the wheel. The penultimate bobsled scene is, goofiness aside, pretty damn exciting. The music, including the driving opening theme (the first, and only theme in the series to be an instrumental piece) and the Louis Armstrong-sung tune We Have All The Time In The World are really good and have a great late 60's feel.

If I had to pick one thing that doesnt do it for me....it's easily Telly Savalas....Mo'fucking Kojak, as Blofeld. Savalas, despite being a bigger and more physical and intimidating figure than Donald Pleasence,..I just can't take him seriously. I seriously expect him to say "who loves ya, Bondy" and start sucking on a lollypop at any moment. That said....he is easily the most fun rendition of Blofeld, despite Savalas playing the character deadly serious.

Depsite middling reviews and reception, OHMSS brought in over ten times it's budget of 7 milion, which was 3 mil less than YOLT. But Lazenby was out. Who would fill the tux next? Well....to the great joy of the general public, EON would manage to tempt back Sean Connery for one last (official) Bond film....James Bond would be back in Diamonds are Forever.

New Lord of the Flies Movie Coming from Suspiria Director

https://ift.tt/2YeAtKh

Luca Guadagnino's next project will be a new version of William Golding's classic nightmarish novel, Lord of the Flies.

facebook

twitter

tumblr

He nailed the coming-of-age genre with Call Me By Your Name, then he veered into the world of horror with Suspiria, a remake of Dario Argento's classic giallo film about a dance academy with a very dark and gruesome secret. There really was no other logical choice then for director Luca Guadagnino than to opt to take on a new adaptation of coming-of-age story turned absolute horror show (and also religious allegory) Lord of the Flies.

According to THR, the director is in talks with Warner Bros. to take on the project, which he would also produce with his producing partner Marco Morabito. Back in 2017, there was talk of adapting William Golding's novel but gender-swapping it so it would focus on a group of school girls shipwrecked on an island who turn into savages, rather than boys (as in the novel). It would have been written and directed by Scott McGehee and Dan Siegel, though this approach reportedly came under some criticism for having a male creative team behind what was to be a female-led story.

Guadagnino's approach will be more faithful to the text, which sees schoolboys stuck on the island form factions and become violent and eventually murderous, as new deities are formed and martyrs are chosen. The book was adapted for film by Peter Brooke in 1963 and again in 1990 (where the boys were American! The travesty!) directed by Harry Hook and starring a young Balthazar Getty and James Badge Dale.

Meanwhile, Guadagnino is working on a mini-series for HBO called We Are Who We Are - it's a coming-of-age story about American teens growing up on a military base in Italy and stars Jack Dylan Grazer from Shazam! and It. The man does love his coming-of-age stories, doesn't he?

More as we have it.

HBO Jack’s backstory according to @angelicjack and I.

Part 1

Kelly Kline is born into a cult that worships Lucifer, similar to this one described by @dieorfight. Despite her best attempts to be devout, she is starting to lose faith and guilt for her transgressions plagues her. When a request goes around for an adherent who will bear the son of Lucifer, the antichrist, she thinks, “I could do that.” She views it as an opportunity to prove her faith, the ultimate expression of devotion. She knows that it means there’s something fundamentally evil and wrong about her. She knows it will end with the baby killing her. 

The impregnation is similar to immaculate conception, except she’s really not free of sin, so maybe it’s just maculate. Hypermaculate conception?

The pregnancy progresses about how it did in classic SPN, but Kelly is trying to hide her complications from her fellow cult members. She tries to take her own life and Jack brings her back. She eventually becomes convinced of Jack’s goodness. As here faith in Jack grows, her faith in the cult weakens. She’s also losing a lot of weight, she’s more and more tired every day. 

On the other side of things, Cas has heavenly orders to keep his eye on Lucifer’s cult as part of his duties. Just monitoring and reporting, no interference. But then he and Balthazar go on their once-every-decade week-long opium bender and Castiel, heaven’s most notorious rebel, decides to be rebellious and defy orders. Balthazar, ever the faithful best friend, wingman, and enabler, actively encourages it.

Cas shows up in Kelly’s room in cult’s compound on a moonless night, absolutely blitzed out of his gourd. He tells her something along the lines of “Lucifer sucks and these people are wrong, come with me and we’ll make our own future.” Kelly, who has been desperate for a sign that life is more than this, that she could be anyone and anywhere else, takes him up on the offer.
