[fraternum-momentum]

Who is your favorite Wrestler? :3c I've been getting into the WWE. It's so campy and dramatic and fun. Everyone always brings up how it's fake, and yeah that's low-key true, but the athleticism is real! They are REALLY getting tossed around and thrown into the announcer table! PUT SOME RESPECT ON THEIR NAMES

im actually not a big superfan of wrestling QJHS my little brother just makes me watch wrestling with him and i kinda got invested in some of the storylines, supereyepatchwolf's videos made me more interested in it tho :]

BUT OFC ITS RHEA RIPLEY CMON HAVE U SEEN HERRRR LIKE FUKCJHVWDHBWDBBD PLEAQSWWEEE PLEASWWEE IM ON MY HANDS AND KNEES PLEQQSSWEEEEEEEEEE

her current storyline with dominik is SOOO dgshit though like what is this telenovela bullshit why is liz and rhea fighting over A MANNNN AND DOMINIK OF ALL PEOPLE like cant they just kiss each other instead ?????? like cmooon what is this,,,,,, didn't they used to be in a tag team togetherrrrr

EDIT:

ALSO JADE CARGILL BC HELLO ??????????????? thats mother right there idk whats happening with her beef with damage ctrl but all im saying is that it shouldve been me getting tossed around and getting beaten up i mean what ahahaha

GOLDEN LOVERS 🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️ their whole storyline is insane thank u youtube wolfman for telling their story i owe them my life

BUT YES !!!! i used to be one of those annoying people who said 'arhmmm u know it's fake, right? ☝️🤓' and yes. yes, we all know it's fake,,,,, it's called kayfabe,,,,, like think of as theater, and they have to be in character at all times, in and out the stage. but it's super intense theater where they all do the stunts and stuff :3 it's super cool

Controversial opinion:

Christian borle was not a good orin and arguably the worse "recorded" one" let me explain

I'm not really a big fan of Christian borle in the first place,he cheated on SUTTON FOSTER and is allegedly kind of a asshole but people just let him get away with that. But I'm not hear to talk about him as a person and not even him as a actor just him in this role.

Now why did I say recorded? I based this off of cast recordings and YouTube videos,so maybe borle was good live. Maybe.

Ok it starts off and immediately he sounds bored throughout and it sounds like he's trying to do a voice but he's not really doing a good job of it. Also he like puts emphasis on "bash in its head" which is good I like that but when he says "you'll be a dentist" there's no emphasis?? Like that's supposed to be this big reveal and ita just "yeah I'm a dentist you all knew that" and I mean we did but still.

The next time he emphasis something is the word pain but it's like he was told to speak up because he was being to quiet. Him intrupting the urchins Is also bland. I could go on but he's overall just not campy or really stand out.

Being different is like really important with the dentists like they are all different from eachotther but they still have the same elements.

Douglas sills does this thing were he holds the note and it sounds kinda oprea-ish(idk how to describe it),franc luz does his whole little den-e-tist thing,Taran killam acte like he's on nitrous oxide,Russell Nielsen has like a higher voice and is more flamboyant,Peter McNally is pretty simmaler to Steve Martin's but he's still really unique,and speaking of Steve martin loom how amazing Steve is! He had no Steve martin to base his performance on!.

In conclusion,don't think Christian should have been casted as orin. His singing is obviously not bad but to be orin you gotta act you can't just be good at singing.

[absolutebl]

i saw someone say Laws of Attraction is technically a lakorn and im like huh.. i could either google whats the difference between lakorn & y-series (bls) as we know it OR i could just ask you so here i am ✨✨ ((im asking cause the only lakorn i know is To Sir With love and i just thought its cause of the many episodes + not really centred ~ so like would Manner of Death be considered bl or lakorn??? idk anything anymore))

Sure it has some lakorn aspects, but if you want to experience TRUE lakorn def watch their first drama together: To Sir, With Love. It has SPARKLE DEATH GLITTER

yes you read that right

SPARKLE DEATH GLITTER

If you're familiar with telenovelas from say the 80-90s, lakorns have more in common with those than anything else I can think of. Like truly camp over the top soap operas.

They are GREAT.

If you like that kinda thing.

I would say Laws is a little less lakorn and more gay romantic suspense, because lakorns tend to be more more ensemble pieces with lots of focus on parents, villains, siblings, staff, and other sides. Again, think really soapy soap operas.

I highly recommend watching To Sir With Love. It will give you a real lakorn experience but still very gay. And, as of right now, it's the only one of its kind.

Genre is often a matter of "I know it when I see it" and challenging to define. I will sometimes try using a negative.

For example I have an author friend who defines sci-fi as: if you remove the sci-fi elements the whole story would fall apart. In other words, to be called sci fi, the book's central premise and narrative backbone must rely upon its science fiction elements.

You can apply the same to romance: if you remove the love story, the whole narrative falls apart.

Lakorn, I'm not entirely sure what that backbone is (I haven't watch enough of them, because so far they not queer enough except for Laws). But I wouldn't necessarily define Laws of Attraction as lakorn first. Although it has lakorn aspects. I wouldn't necessarily define Laws of Attraction as BL first either. Although it also has BL aspects. Which is why, like Manner of Death, I settled on "gay romantic suspense."

One might make a case for Only Friends or even Playboyy as lakorn, but neither was soapy or campy enough. IMHO they have more in common with something like The L Word or Queer as Folk.

shikis route finisheddd!

like the rin post this might be long. but yall. LMDAFNSJDIGKA i very much understand why he is controversial now. but to be honest i remember playing madarame's route from slow damage and seeing people be like "this is just shiki 2.0!" and i love madatowa so. i was kinda here for the campy 2000s toxic yaoi and clearly this was one of the blueprints. ok so lemme rly break down this bc i love rambling

this was so real... i think more yaoi should include piercings as a way of like. marking or claiming or whatever its called like i was fully like oh my Gootness. gave his ass a belly piercing...also did i mention i love shikis design like he truly served cunt. im very much into alternative fashion and subcultures n all that so i really do like his design

abt his endings... i thought the ending where akira becomes a whore for some reason was kinda funny LMAO like shiki was just like ugh. lemme go home to my hoe wife "who was it this time" LIKE?%6$#&7#2&# i think i liked hoe akira. the military ending was aiight i didnt rly have strong feelings abt it

ok lemme get into what i didnt like. i did NOT like the "good" ending LIKE THAT WAS NOT GOOD???? WHY IS HE IN A WHEELCHAIR i think i mightve missed something like i was here for the running away type ending until it was revealed shiki just became. that like idk you couldve just had them be delinquents together or sumn </3 but overall. i can def see why people wouldnt like this route but to be honest. i like mess. i had fun i thought it was entertaining shiki is hot those r my thoughts. that is all

now to doooo nanos route! then ill be done omg i feel like i flew through this vn so quickly

[fluffishere]

Ok I saw American Psycho the musical (I'm pretty sure it was the broadway version but I can't really tell)........ Uhhh I have some thoughts.

Okay, first of all, because It's a musical, I thought they were going to lean into the comedy and absurdity of American Psycho, but they didn't, which was really surprising to me. It's like, dreary, gorey, existential, and kind of slow, which is not really what musicals are typically known for. I can't really decide if I like that decision or not?? It was like super artsy and weird??? Idk man.

It had really really REALLY good staging and effects, pulling down a splash screen and then splattering blood on it when he killed Paul was the coolest thing I've ever seen.

But the songs........................are like really bad, everyone says the composer is like a broadway legend and I just??? It's so bad??? It sounds terrible actually?? The lyrics are terrible, and the backing tracks are terrible. I thought maybe they just sounded bad in the bootleg recording I watched but the album version might even sound worse holy shit. It seems like they think that electronic synths = scary, they all sound the same, gah, idk, I hate the songs. (Ok except for killing time that song could make me cry i think)

Conclusion: I didn't like it as much as I thought I would, It's not like terrible its just not what I expected, I thought it would be more campy and fun but it was kinda slow. Anyways, the guy who wrote riverdale wrote this play btw (And they preformed this play inside of a riverdale episode)

[raisinchallah]

you know in some ways id say xena and gabrielle are the only time im like ok maybe soulmates as a concept is kind of fun because its done in such a campy and ridiculous manner and used for some very fun episodes and that its also like well the funny tension between the fact that theyre calling each other their soulmate but the relationship is still a bit of a wink and a nod to the audience so its like this fun little dance but i do think it does kind of smooth out some of the most fascinating edges to their relationship that well both xena and gabrielle kind of worry in their own ways that this relationship is turning gabrielle into a worse person that something is lost her morality her innocence that shes turned into a new person and all those changes might not be good and i think saying theyre soulmates is like ok well its unambiguously good whatever end of story but literally all the juiciest most interesting parts of their relationship so much tension is built on like xena subtly trying to push gabrielle away or her own self hatred leading to episodes where xena thinks maybe gabrielle would be better with someone else that maybe this life is killing her and that it can even cloud her judgment like in crusader and how gabrielle at various points in her life chooses to wrestle with the fact that being with xena means she will get blood on her hands and that she does try to fight it and goes thru various moral and ethical philosophies has all these very strong beliefs but you know realizes that she loves xena more than she cares about her own moral code sometimes like when she finally breaks her vow of nonviolence even tho xenas begging her not to and kills all these soldiers just so they can have a chance to die together and its just such a delicious tension that i think is sometimes too neatly resolved by the soulmates concept i dont think its show breaking but they do just keep getting confirmation over and over theyre meant for each other when idk i think its kinda fun like choosing each other against maybe better judgment and gabrielle making peace with the fact she might love xena more than she can possibly work into any of her own ethical philosophies to make sense of what their life is and that being this underlying feeling all their fights and near break ups pushing away from each other in many ways stems from this fear so i think sometimes the like season 6 soulmates in love forever thing is simply not as much my thing as their peak insanity in season 3 and 4..

[newvegascowboy]

could you drop the movie list (preferably in the order youre watching them in). asking because i really dont know anything about xmen but i want to 1) know more 2) look at logan. thankyou!

Omfg ive been watching them crazy out of order with literally no rhyme or reason💀 the actual order ive watched them in was

-xmen

- xmen origins: wolverine

- xmen - days of future past

- x2

Ive never actually seen apocalypse or dark Phoenix so those are next, maybe after i watch first class because i really like that one. Im not a huge comic fan so idk how any of the movies hold up against the comics. All i know is that comic!Logan is a short king.

For an actual movie order, chronologically:

- xmen first class (this movie actually rocks and ill die on that hill)

- og xmen trilogy

- xmen: days of future last (debatably good but i think its fun)

I dont think xmen origins wolverine is bad. Its ALSO a I Wanna Look At Logan movie, but its not exactly canon and is kind of goofy. Still. Logan in it Hot.

If you want a grittier movie, The Wolverine (not my fave tho). And if you want to Cry, but want Logan content, then Logan (2017) (also not a fave of mine but beggars, choosers. I did cry watching it the first time.)

Xmen had the misfortune of being produced during the era of superhero movies that had to be gritty and dark, so they take themselves a little bit seriously, but they can be kinda campy and fun. Logan/Wolverine is the collective Babygirl of the xmen universe and they spend so much time on him. Probably because it's genuinely devastating how hot he is. I want to bite him until my gums bleed. He's the typical broody hero you find in movies of the early aughts, but he's fun and cute so we forgive him. It's kind of annoying how forced all his romances feel, and the way his relationship with Jean is written is pretty borderline, so I like to just. Ignore alla that. The saving grace with the xmen movies is that doesn't deal with any multiverse stuff, and it was before Marvel turned to absolute shit, so i don't find the movies totally exhausting to watch.

The best movies for Looking At Logan are definitely the original trilogy. There's a scene in x2 where he's in a tanktop walking around the x mansion and his fucking arms. I'd chew on him like a country ham. Also his butt is out in days of future past and he gets some Nice 1970s styling. The Wolverine has a lot of fan service as well but again, the story aint my fave.

They are fun movies though, and i actually really like the prequel movies even though Logan only gets a cameo in one.

Also it's debatable or not whether dp3 counts as an xmen movie, but Logan is very nice to look at in it and the scene in the honda is fucking pornography

[kurjakani]

for tge bingo. all 3 sinclairs >:)c

VINCENT

Genuinely such an interesting character. One of my "in my head forever" characters- u mentioning them makes me wanna rewatch the movie now so bad 🫡 see okokokok. I actually relate to vincent a lot, and i think that's where it comes, and ive talked abt this before, but i don't like the idea that he truly was the "good kid", his every expression and part of self was supressed because he tried to be the good kid. (I have a sibling who was kinda tough to raise, and i love them very much, and i love my mom, but i often did feel a natural preassure to be the good kid, to endure, to be quiet, to take care things on my own, and i failed at it more than vincent,!!! But to vincents parents his looks were already an equal failiour, on his part (i say this bc they were covering his face from fucking child hood). Having a constant reminder that youre supposed to be the ONE THAT MAKES LIFE EASY. The simple one and the HAPPY one because people are already busy with someone else. The picturesque one. No. Matter. What. Is. Happening. In. Your. Life. It gets fucking exhausting?) So some fanon depictions of him as the non-tragic one kinda gnaw at me. I dont know if the movie meant 2 hint at these themes (i think they did via the face hiding, and for a campy little horror movie HOW is a rly weirdly detailed one?) but if not its canon to me.

Vincent is so fuckint beloved to me. You dont eveb fuciint known vro im gonna cry

LESTER

Would absolutely have messed with the pacing of the movie, But I Do Wish we got more of Lester. He's so sweet and fucking. Cool as fuck???? Hes the type of person i would like. I would be scared of bc im scared of ppl, but i woild also wanna hang out witj SO FUCKINT BAD. His transmasc swag is also beyond comprihencion. He brews his own tshots somehow idk if thats even possible but Lester makes it possible.

My one critique of fanon is that I see him as the youngest of the siblings and personally i think he's the oldest???? My hc for him is that hr was like, the kid the sinclairs had before they were ready to have kids, kind of just some little guy who ran wild, loved the twisn tho.

Sorry i do not have the energy 2 talk abt Bo he BOres me to death tbh. He's a solid character. He doesn't hit anywhere deep for me?? Bo fans im sorry

CHARACTER BINGO

[funnywormz]

top 10 lobby boy looks please and thank you rate this man like he's in an issue of cosmo and we're ripping him asunder

this was a toughie bc idk anything abt fashion and his outfits aren't described in as much detail as the manager but i still had fun!! decided to only use publicly accessible canon episodes for this (no bonus eps, nothing patreon exclusive) hehe. also let me reiterate once more that i have the worst fashion sense in the entire world

NUMBER 10: 4.10 - audrey burns

awesome episode but this fit sounds boring as hell. it doesn't sound BAD but just...... boring.......... doesn't even have a hat. sad

NUMBER 9: 4.1 - perry sherwin

he doesn't like it and i don't either. white is definitely not the best colour to be wearing when you're employed at a slimy gross murder hotel lol. maybe it looked kinda cool but thinking abt him trying to get the stains out makes me a little sad. also plain white is kinda boring imo....... although it could look cool in a kind of stark way i suppose

NUMBER 8: 4.17 - debbie houston

putting this one low on the list bc it's uncomfortable for him and he didn't like it which is sad. but it's at number 8 not lower bc i instinctively know he was serving cunt here. like i know he looked kinda sexy in it. but he doesn't like it and comfort should always come before fashion imho, hence its low spot on the list. also he didn't even get to wear it out of the closet.......

NUMBER 7: 4.16 - alex potenski

made the manager cringe but i think it sounds kinda cute in an ugly way. like he could wear this to a barbecue or to the beach or something. i like it when madam hotel puts him in pink.........

NUMBER 6: 4.7 - dorothy rennup

it's giving librarian. it's giving tumblr history teacher aesthetic. unfortunately i have a weakness for that kind of outfit so i think it sounds cute. it also sounds comfortable and warm which is important! and the collared button up under a sweater look is always something i enjoy................

NUMBER 5: 4.3 - the habers

we never actually get this one properly described to us which is why it isn't higher on the list. based on the hotel taking on a 70s aesthetic in this episode and the fact that even THINKING about this made the manager cringe kinda fills me with joy bc i know it was ugly and campy as hell. in my heart i know he was so garish and awkward looking and sweaty in this episode and i love it.

NUMBER 4: 4.9 - mr platt

i think this sounds cute sorry miss manager. once again i like it when the hotel puts him in pink outfits. by "coral" im assuming it's a pink/peachy coral type of colour which i think would look cool in combination with black. tidy but a little bit ugly in a way that i enjoy greatly. idk exactly why i like this one as much as i do. but i do.

NUMBER 3: 5.2 - it watches and it smiles

LOVE THIS THANG! underrated episode imo. i love the way this episode combines ominous terror with like, pleasant night time tropical beach vibes. it's rlly good. the description of the lobby boy in this episode is also rlly good. something chunky and very low to the ground that can't move fast but has very very long grabby arms and bulging big eyes and an evil grin........ i love it. sounds very spooky. love it when he's at the window menacing the guy inside. it's easy to get a vague idea of this creature in my head but hard to pin it down to a specific design which i think is intentional, and i rlly like it. very shaped animal. sounds like he might look at little bit silly if you caught him in the daylight perhaps, although that isn't necessarily a bad thing

NUMBER 2: 2.2 - cracker man

sadly we don't get much of a description of cracker man but im putting him high up bc i think he is awesome. bones sticking out everywhere, joints and the wrong angles, all skinny and tall and bulging and swollen and creaking........ love it. i bet he looks so scary. the idea of the monster chasing you being all broken and sad and in pain itself is very compelling. also the body horror side to the cracker man where he's constantly creaking and snapping with every movement is so uncomfortable (in a good way). also as someone with very creaky and sometimes painful joints i can relate to him.

NUMBER 1: 4.5 - robert watson

maybe this sounds underwhelming but hear me out. HEAR ME OUT OK! this is one of the few episodes where the lobby boy is described as wearing the classic red lobby boy uniform, and it's extra shiny and fancy and pretty this time. i think he was physically at his peak of lobby-boy-ness here. the red outfit with the hat and shiny buttons is a classic and it's his most iconic look ever. most people in the fandom including me draw him this way. it might seem boring or generic bc it's so common but to me this outfit is just His Outfit. it's the lobby boy outfit. unbeatable imo. if he was a cartoon character and wore the same outfit every episode i just KNOW it would be this one. it's a classic. i will not be swayed on this.

[jakowskis]

Day 28 - Do you like how tragic Torchwood is, or do you wish it was more light-hearted? Do you think the ‘dark and adult themes’ were explored sufficiently?

torchwood's weird bc it exists in this place where, like, the creators + writers were all coming at it from different angles, and i think there was a lot of... internal confusion amongst individuals, too. like, a lot of the concepts in chibnall's scripts are actually profound and intriguing when it come to the characters themselves - but he's also the guy who put a cyberman in a bikini, and the guy who came up with the sex alien, so. rtd, idek his vision tbh - in the director's commentary of i believe the first episode, he says something like "everyone's talking about what a dark, edgy show it is, but we've got a pterodactyl. can we talk about that. like that's ridiculous - it's brilliant." so i think he was partially intending for it to be kinda silly from the get-go. but he also did push the dark edgy adult spin off angle, so idk. the show tried to do both and it's... kind of iconically bad, but also unique and, imho, endearing. you certainly don't see it elsewhere. i love my bad 2000s show.

as iconic as that edgy campiness is, obviously torchwood would've benefited significantly from simply picking a tone and being consistent with it. s1 was criticized for unevenness, but i think it was earnest in its ridiculousness, which i appreciate. it committed. s2 takes itself a bit less seriously and leans into the silliness, which some ppl like, but i find it less compelling. idk, s1 is just special to me; it's so experimental and tonally bizarre, but i love it. i always say torchwood's weird bc it's like they had gold but they somehow managed to bury it in manure. like there's a spark of something magic but you have to wade thru the shit to get to it and even then it's not there for the taking, you're like eternally digging for it and you're constantly finding little tiny pieces of it HFKDSF or at least thts my experience (<- guy who's a year into being insane about this fucking show. it is Not that deep im just ill.)

and a lot of that magic exists in the underlying darkness. torchwood isn't dark when it tries to be; torchwood is dark in the implications. it's haunted by it's own darkness but it refuses to look directly at it. watching it is, like, you're staring at smth simple and underwhelming, but there's something terrifying in your peripheral - but if you look right at it it won't be there. so you're fascinated by what you can't fully grasp at. again, maybe i'm just deranged, but that's how i feel about it. there's so many insane connotations in each episode that feel peripheral and unconscious. it's bizarre. it's probably just the result of bad writing, but i do not control what my bastard brain latches onto and decides is worth painstakingly deconstructing.

so what i'm saying? is where torchwood 'thinks' it's dark, it's not, and what's actually dark isn't even a consistently conscious thing and therefore isn't remotely touched on. so, no, they're not explored well at all. that's what fanfiction's for 👍 im very stimulated with this fixation still, after all this time, bc there's soooo many cool threads that i can pull from and actually put the work and time into playing with in a way the show wasn't willing to, and i love that. i love dark themes in general, i'm very naturally oriented towards miserable things, and torchwood's so tragic and dark but it doesn't live up to its potential whatsoever. so many good seeds that didn't get planted. that being said, i do like the silly shit. but if i could make it stick to a tone, i'd have it commit to the dark stuff, because i mourn what could've been. it's a ghost that follows me 🫵

AKCN LNY Post-Stream rambling

Hyper Hopium Edition

oh my fucking god when i saw all the sand my heart jumped like crazy half because of RAT's association with sand but also THE SETTING REFERENCING A WUXIA FLICK I WATCHED MONTHS AGO (Flying Swords of Dragon Gate/龙门飞甲)

Eureka even mentions that the place has been featured in a film called 玉门风云 which i‘m preddy sure is a parody of the above or 龙门客栈/Dragon Gate Inn which 龙门飞甲 is actually a re-remake/reimagining? of

AK's poster and irl posters of the og Dragon Gate Inn and the remakes

Another poster cause I thought the title matched pretty well

the story is Not Good(YMMV) and it REALLY shows its age but it is very campy and the visuals are very pretty and the girls are very cool also kinda fruity lol so i recommend a casual watch if you like that kind of stuff (don't recommend the EN dub though unless you want like pauly shore pinocchio lvl of cringe(?)

? WHAT'S THIS ABOUT...?

Through the woods, across a river, into the mountains. After the affairs that transpired in Yumen, A female vigilante* leaves the city, determined to keep advancing into the Jianghu. During an accident, she chances upon a youth that has gone astray, and sends them back to their home town. But the bizarre attitude of the villagers cannot help but make you wonder if there was something else behind all this… In this story, we will witness an absurd drama in the north-west region of Yan, and meet Mulberry as well as other familiar figures. Who is good, and who is evil? We leave it to you to judge.

(Hopium starts here)

*They use 女侠 here, and if we don't consider any of the new characters whom we know nothing about, there's really only 2 people that fit it

So… I haven't like read Waai Fu's material a morbillion times like Chen's so someone correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding is that her story kind of veers towards more of locating/surpassing her father while Chen's main issue is of who is she to judge what's right or wrong

but idk its just a Game Theory (tm) maybe it's fucking Lin Yuxia of all people that would be hilarious tbh i'm just very happy to get a wuxia story lmao (ItW had elements but just didn't do it for me...)

[lincolndjarin]

bks 22 spoilers under the cut

like lowkey lmk if this chapter is lame and feel free to do it anonymously if youre worried LMAO. bc like. i like it but also thats bc i write bks to be a campy romance novel. like its my jane the virgin with how shes like in a telenovela and shes always watching them. princess reader is always reading shitty romance and also shes living it. so like yeah the ending of that chap was kinda corny so like lmk if it was too corny and i ruined the stakes or something idk lmao.

like obviously this is not the end of all conflict. there will be more but idk. i feel like im always self conscious of my chapters when im this tired. who knows

"why do i find it so difficult to dispose of you?" because hes hot, next question

battle between two characters with maxed out charisma

cat shapeshifter is horny as shit

oh ok hes not actually into it. damn kirk, stone cold.

why did he even try to manipulate the telepath though. and why did it work for so long

campy ghost king hates cat shapeshifter so much that hes helping kirk now

IM SO GLAD U ASKED. im not a very big movie fanatic but the ones i love, i really love em!!!

a lot of these r like. v popular critically acclaimed masterpieces but im going to talk like youve never seen any of them just in case

but im a cheerleader movie abt two teenage girls who meet in conversion therapy and fall in love!!! really campy and fun and not super serious, also rupaul is there as a homophobic christian. visually very pretty and stunning, the color grading is so nice!!! technicolor i miss u i love u

ferris bueller’s day off movie i named my cat after!!!! its just a little fun slice of life, growing up kind of thing. good and accurate teeangers!!!!! they dont pull any riverdale bullshit. the main character (ferris) is a little shit. very cat aligned

heavenly creatures teen girl codependence movie of all time. this movie IS based on real people and a real death that took place, but its not like the recent netflix docuseries i wont name on a certain cannibal. no one involved in the incident feels any sort of negativity towards the movie at all. visually its so pretty and dynamic and does a good job balancing the fictionalized plot of the movie and what really happened

house of wax horror movie that honestly is not the greatest, but has a place in my heart because i loved watching it with some friends :3 has one of the guys from supernatural in it, jared padelecki i think. also paris hilton. very fun to make fun of, i recommend watching it ppl u love and bullying it with them. it’s extremely 2005

jennifer’s body a staple of weird emo band monster enthusiast tumblr, so im sure uve at least heard of her. idk what to say except she’s so campy and fun. bi women who get sacrificed incorrectly and turn into freaky demons who eat boys to survive. cinema peaked here. also fun fact pete wentz was originally considered for a roll in this movie

repo! the genetic opera gothic movie musical that is SO BAD. paris hilton is also here because she was everywhere in horror in the 00’s. it only has one song thats even good but its SO fun please watch it. also it’s a dystopia kinda type deal :3

reading back, a lot of these aren’t very light movies :( so um. my final message, watch mean girls

how do you feel about nolan’s batman/scarecrow?

i’m not fully sure what you mean here. like, as in how i feel about the characters in that movie or that version of the pairing? 

but either way, i don’t hate it! i don’t hate any of batman movies tbh. no matter, how different or hella campy they are compared to source material, i still can see smth redeeming in them. i’m generally somewhat lax n’ chill with superhero movies/games. in most cases, i’d be more nitpicky toward cartoons/newer comics, than i’ll ever be toward cinema or video games. nolan’s batman falls into that category too. it’s not my fav batman movie by any means, but it has its moments.

besides, i believe that it was the first dc’s newer *2000 era* cinematic project back then, n’ i happen to watch it as a kid, so i have somewhat nostalgic memories about it as well. i also must say, that the tone of nolan's dark knight was very different compared to more campy, playful batman movies till that point. so it was nice change too. very unexpected turn in a way.

personally, for me it was hit in some places n' a fairly big miss in the others. for one, i get why a lot of people were annoyed with who nolan chose to play the scarecrow, since yes, it is strange to see a character, who canonically was considered to be far from pretty *to put it mildly* suddenly becoming basically an opposite of it. but tbh, i usually not very sold on who they pick to play characters in those movies. so it’s not like i tend to be 100% pleased in that aspect. n’ i do find it somewhat amusing, that for once, jonathan can be a real ‘princess’, both in manners n’ looks. it took some getting used to for sure, but i’m not super-duper upset about that change! i feel like i would have more inner dissonance if that batman movie, where nicolas cage was about to play crane had actually happened lol. i mean, it could have been interesting tbh, bc i cannot imagine cage being tame in his performance, esp back then. so maybe it's actually too bad that it didn't happened, bc we might have gotten the most over the top jonathan crane, who ever existed. like, you see jim carrey's riddler n' there is still no riddler to this day to top his exaggerated, campy performance lol. n' i have this vibe here too. i can bet 10$, that nick would have improvised in some scenes, n' like licked batman's face or smth. .... ah man, now i kinda wish that it had happened, dang.

but uh err, back to nolan's movies. if i’m being completely honest here, my main pet-peeve with nolan’s scarecrow wasn’t his looks per say, but rather how little he was presented in those movies in itself, and how nothing was really going on there for him. it really rubs me the wrong way, that he wasn’t even his own thing, just a pawn for another batman villain to use. he was never allowed to play a major role in anything, despite *might be wrong here tho* how nolan said that he considers the scarecrow to be batman’s real arch-nemesis not the joker, so this is why he used the scarecrow first. the scarecrow being batman's real fuel is smth i’m 100% sold on, and it all considering, that i actually love the joker as character. but like, the clown gimmick is basically antipod to literally everything lol. him being batman's 'fuel' always felt kinda idk, a bit lazy to me. at least, make the black mask or two-face his arch-enemy, this would be way more nuanced vs the clown, who's just hella insane n' have zero morals. so if nolan was also one of those people, who felt that the joker can be put aside for a moment or two, n' let another old batman's rogue shine, welp, he didn't implemented said sentiment very well in his movies.

there was a lot of room to do smth with crane’s character. to flash him out in newer ways or craft him more specifically for the setting, that they had going on. batman 2022 actually got this bit right. their edward was still very riddler-like, while also possessing enough ‘original’ elements to make him exist within the movie’s narrative/tone perfectly. he felt like that movie's main villain specifically n’ he played the part. n’ it all considering how he also was on the screen for idk, 20 minutes at max. but his presence was important n’ left an impact. not hannibal lector from silence of the lamb level, of course, *you cannot beat a suspense masterpiece after all* but still, it was smth. n' it was one of those things, that made me like the movie way more, than i expected.

with this in mind, now compare it to how we had to sit through a long ass movie, where we were teased with the scarecrow being the main antagonist. only for it to turn out to be a lie. instead, crane was taking the back seat to ra al ghul. just degist this sentence. he wasn't even bested by the joker or bane. but by ra flipping al ghul. like out of curiosity, i asked a couple of people, who have very limited n' slight knowlege of batman's media as whole, but who watched nolan's movies, n' i asked them who was the villain in the first movie. and they all were like 'the scarecrow'. no one even remembers ghul. an' it's not bc crane did smth big in the movie, but it's bc no one really cares about that past lore, where ghul was bruce's teacher. everyone only remember, that he kinda died or smth, when the cave/building collapsed lol. granted, i’m also bias here, bc ra al ghul is one of those batman’s villains, who personally bore me. and naturally, him stealing the spotlight from crane doesn’t win him any brownie points with me. but like, idk. this is just so unfair to the scarecrow. i mean, his iconic fear toxin wasn’t even released by him or on purpuse, which had me like ??? as a kid. bc it just made zero sense. it would have been the same, if i dunno, a clock king in btas had released joker’s laughing gas, all while the joker himself was just sorta/kinda there. just idling in the background without any proper input, aside from being the one who created the said gas lol. this is what had happened there. so yeah, it was a very awkward way to make bruce's old asshole teacher revelant again. also jonathan being a drug dealer *kind of* an' having a 'business plan' is so hiliriously opposite of what he usually did in the comics/btas. maybe, he could have shared his knowlege of how to make money with other cranes, who are usually broke as hell lol.

n’ well, if i had to be nitpicky here, i also was disappointed with how little thought they put into crane’s scarecrow costume. the excuse of ‘they tried to make it more realistic’ doesn’t work on me, bc catwoman in burton’s batman was designed with the same idea in mind, n’ her costume was freaking awesome n’ creative. but oh well…it is what it is.

as for nolan’s scarebat version, well, i don’t mind it. i love comic/btas crane n’ bruce the most. love jon as that socially inept, unsightly, closeted gremlin, n’ bruce as a low-key emotionally stunted, but still sympathetic hero. but aside from that, i can see an appeal in a good-looking scarecrow, who might have the power to sway batman with one smokey look. granted, jonathan already acted all whorish around the bat in the movie, so it’s not hard to picture him trying to seduce his way out of an encounter with batman just bc he feels that he can do it. so just this one time, crane can have it ‘easy’, when it comes to wooing the big bad bat. there is also smth funny about people expecting the fearsome scarecrow to look literally anything, but how nolan’s one looks. an' i also must add, that i've read a few of nolanverse scarebat fics an' usually the authors doing a better job at flashing out crane, than the movie did lol. so props to them for that!
