I feel like it is extremely important to realise that the piece that they play when Princess Carolyn having her painting fantasy is from Pictures At An Exhibition. And it's from the first movement, which is called Prominade. It's an amazing pun and it literally could not be more perfect for this scene like I don't think you underSTAND.

When Wolverine shows up again, I want him to have an identity crisis about his hero identity, resulting in him singing a song about it, ending with "Who am I? Who am I? I'm Wolverine!"

Deadpool, is, of course, waving a torn up Canadian flag in the corner

Just here to say yes, I am in fact with all the elitists and gatekeepers when it comes to punk. Yeah your DIY sucks, no it's not punk there isn't a single fucking punk band on there, and yes I'm pointing and laughing with my cool ass friends. Get with it or fuck off, we're busy having a good time

Listen, do I know that I'm supposed to want Odysseus freed? Yes, I do know this but also! She kinda ate with that.

Ok, but Christos Lawton’s Hodge playlist is so fucking good… like we cast George as a music nerd and that is what this playlist is. A music nerd who grew up in England in the 80s and 90s, who pays attention and isn’t afraid to pick the odd album tracks that are absolutely on the nose for his character at this specific point in the narrative.

Dave K’s playlist was also wonderfully Hodge, although more on a vein of what the character would absolutely enjoy listening to, bopping along to his gramophone and being a beautiful twit. Christos’s playlist is more thematic and maybe what the actor could’ve listened to while filming. The soundtrack playing while George grapples with what the fuck he is seeing, or maybe that plays when he stares out into the great white eternity on watch, dissociating as he tries not to let his mind crumble. While he tries to hang onto those core principles and joys that he has hung his selfhood on.

It is very much the playlist of a white male (probably middle class) British music fan of his age, which somehow feels in character for George as well despite the separation of a century. Damn your eyes Christos you lovely man. There are tracks that might go with certain emotional beats and you absolutely cannot stop me from thinking about John when I got to track 4. Ugh, I love it so much.

I was pleasantly surprised by the good defibrillator usage in the Taste music video

Here is Jenna's character spreading conductive gel between the paddles

We can even see the gel on the paddles

The actual defibrillation wouldn't work properly because she uses it through clothes a few times, she would get burned but I am just glad that the paddles don't look dry.

Oh no I missed coffee night!!!!

I wanted to ask you about Hitchcock 😔 If you're willing to answer, which movies of his do you think are overrated and which do you think are actually good? He's my most watched director (because film school) but I only genuinely like a few of his films and always disagreed with my classmates about which ones were the best

I feel like I'm holding up a Daffy Duck style sign that says "shoot me" because Hitchcock is so well thought of by cinephiles versus me, the basic horny mod who watches movies with hot people in them. With that said, I remember Rope, Dial M for Murder, North by Northwest, and To Catch a Thief all left me a bit flat, because I felt like he was prioritizing pushing technical limits or creating extravagant images over deeper characters and relationships. I love a good technical limit-pushing, but it needs to serve the story! And sometimes I feel like he has an idea he wants to try or an image he wants to show and puts so much focus on developing it that characters' reality and interest kind of falls by the wayside—they become pawns navigating his situations, instead of interesting characters in their own right.

To be fair, this is more a characteristic of his later work than his early work—The Lady Vanishes is one of my favorite movies, and I remember Notorious and Spellbound both being enjoyable when I watched them a few years ago. Again, basic film watcher here. Don't show this post to the Criterion collection.

Since I am a big nerd and really into it rn I ended up making a very long playlist for TFTGS as a series. Its ordered chronologically to the story beats so if you have read the books the songs line up to things that happen in them in order - for the people who DO know... you might just be able to match up the songs with where you are in the series...

I get to do a Greek myth presentation for my exam. Hahah..Fear me. I wrote the whole thing down in a single lesson (This project was meant to take 4 lessons in total)

The whole time I don’t think I blinked

Only Zeus himself can smite me down. I call it ‘Godly hyperfixation’ others call it ‘Diagnosed Autism’
