marty hart's cyclical return to praising family as THE thing that keeps a man grounded, stable, and happy (specifically in pointing out that rust DOESN'T have a family) even as flashbacks show him spiraling into jealous macho violence as he lies to, mistreats, and destroys his family over the course of multiple affairs (by which he deliberately steps outside of and away from his family despite his wife's best efforts to get him to reconnect and step up to be the family man he sees himself as)
vs
rust cohle's repeated excoriations of the idea of individuality and personhood and the stupid self-centeredness and entitlement that comes with saying "I, a human being, matter to the universe, and the things I do matter", an ideology he carries for years and waxes poetic on for his interviewers as late as 2012, even as he obsessively works himself to the bone to get justice and resolution for the victims he's assigned and ultimately to protect children from the powerful and dangerous people who want to brutalize them

A partner just shared with me how an Important And Influential Person was highly impressed by a project I worked on this past spring, and given my current goal of “become a highly competitive hire in another country” I’m kinda like. Frothing at the mouth

sorry this blog has been temporarily hijacked by me freaking out over the voiced yttd but. I love how they allow Sara to be scared. They let her panic and be terrified and it’s the kind of performance that shocks you to the core if you’re not expecting it. And in combination with the heartbeat effects it really does make it feel more like a horror game, because damn are these actors good at sounding scared.

Just watched the Spanish 1931 Dracula this morning and it really did hold up a lot better than the English version?
I don’t know that you could call either one “better”, but I think it was just a lot more cinematic than the English version is theatrical. Like the characters spend so much time in English one monologuing about scenes we don’t see, from head-on camera angles. But the Spanish one just had more scenes with more set changes and camera work. Just kinda interesting how that made it more compelling where the English one really drags on despite being 20 minutes shorter lol

“If you don’t stop moving- we- we’re gonna fall! I fell down a mountain already, nothing else, Vin!” Lovely let out with a shriek. “Lovely, it’s a hammock. Worst case scenario, you get a bruise and you heal.” Vincent wiggled around a little more on their lap. “Vince- I swear to fucking god.” Lovely clung onto the sides of the hammock, and shut their eyes. “C’mon, Lovely, we aren’t gonna f-“ Vincent tumbled out of the hammock. “What’s that? What were you saying? Hmm?” Lovely fought back the urge to go down and kiss him wherever he hurt. “We aren’t going to fall…” Lovely got off of the hammock and sat down next to him. “Well, you were right about one thing.” Vincent looked at them, “right about what?” They kissed him on the cheek, “We didn’t fall. You did.” Vincent put his head on their shoulder. “Are you okay?” He nodded and kissed their neck. “Can we go back in the hammock?” They ran their hands through his hair, “depends, are you going to wiggle around this time?” He sat up and looked at them, “I guess not.”
