warnings: swearing, pregnant reader

AN: hi. its been a while. I'm combining a few episodes so bare with me.

I rested against Dan as we waited for Roz. He was rubbing circles into my arm as I dozed off. Abbie looked over at us and my phone buzzed. Dan chuckled as I snuggled closer to him and ignored it.

"So have you two decided on a name?" She asked. I nodded. Dan rolled his eyes as he pressed a kiss to my head.

"Yes and no." He said. I shrugged as I sat up.

"We both agree on one name. Ash. But I like Alex. He likes Jesse." I said, stretching slightly. "Which means we're probably going to go with Ash." Dan nodded in agreement.

"Ash is a good name. Use it Fielding." Roz said, making Dan smile. He got up to go hug her. "You better be there for that kid Dan. Otherwise I'll come find you." She stuck her finger in his face and all he could do was shake his head at her. I smiled as I watched the interaction. Roz glanced at me and smiled. "And remember I'm expecting you to keep him in line. This man better put in the work."

"Oh you know I wouldn't let him slack off." I laughed as she came over to hug me.

"You're practically glowing." She whispered. "I don't know how you could let him do this to you but I'm glad you both are happy." I nodded as she broke away to talk to Abbie. Dan came back and kissed me softly.

"We still going to ask her?" I whispered. Dan nodded.

"No better person honestly." He said. "I mean Abbie would have but I honestly prefer her as an older sister at this point." I giggled and smoothed my hands over his suit jacket.

"She really has become your adoptive daughter hasn't she?" I asked. Dan blushed as he shrugged.

"I don't think Harry would let me get away with anything less." He admitted. I nodded. "I love you." I hummed happily as he kissed me.

"I love you too." I whispered. "Now go do your work thing. I'll go talk to Roz." Dan nodded and turned when she came back into the courtroom.

"How'd it go?" He asked. She shrugged and squeezed his arm.

"Abbie's gonna make it work." She said. Dan nodded. "But again thank you for the offer of a loan." I smiled softly as I remembered that particular conversation Dan had sat me down for. "Seems like Harry left more than just his good sense here." The two of them turned to look at Abbie.

"Yeah. Its still a little strange without him here but with her..." Dan shook his head and Roz nodded in agreement.

"I'm gonna stick around. Maybe the three of us can catch up once tonight is over." Roz said before looking over at the next defendants. "Or maybe I'll just hang out in the cafeteria."

"What..." Dan turned to follow her gaze. "Oh for fuck's sake." He muttered when he saw the Wheelers.

"Mr. Fielding!" The couple waved at Dan, bright smiles on their faces as I finally slid off Dan's desk.

"On that note, I'm gonna head out." I said, guiding Dan back to look at me before kissing him softly. "Don't kill them. Just get through this and everything will be fine." Dan nodded before kissing me again. Roz offered me her arm and I took it as we walked out of the courtroom. "They keep coming back and I swear if I hadn't seen the evidence I would think they were nuts."

"Oh I've seen the evidence and I still think they're nuts." Roz laughed. She found us a table before going to grab a coffee. I chewed on my lip as I tried to think about how I wanted to word the request Dan and I were going to made of her. A small bottle of juice was put in front of me, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Penny for your thoughts?"

"Just trying to think something through." I shrugged. "Before I chicken out, Dan and I wanted to ask you something." Roz nodded as she looked me over.

"Out with it then." She waved at me as she drank her coffee. I took a deep breath and steeled my nerves.

"We were wondering if you would be the godmother. To Ash." I said. Roz gave me a surprised look.

"I would have thought you would ask Abbie." She said. I nodded.

"I will admit we considered her. But in all honesty she would be more like the older sister. Dan has practically adopted her at this point." I shrugged. Roz laughed.

"And you're ok with that?" She asked. I nodded with a smile.

"Honestly yeah." I said. "The way Dan is, I figure this is practice for Ash's teen years. Besides. I think the two of them need each other almost as much as Dan and I need each other." Roz smiled.

"So you see it too." She played with her coffee cup. "If that is what the two of you really want, then I guess I could do it." Roz nodded. "All I'd have to do is help take care of the kid right?"

"Pretty much." I shrugged. "Well I assume so. My godparents were basically babysitters." Roz nodded.

"Mine were too." She agreed. "Well you can bet I'll be there as more than just a babysitter to this kid." I smiled at her as she reached over and squeezed my hand. We fell into a comfortable silence after that. When break rolled around, Dan came and sat down next to me. He greeted me with a kiss before taking a seat next to me.

“so…roz…” Dan said, shifting slightly as he put his arm over my shoulders. “Did uh (Y/N) ask you…”

“as much as I like seeing you uncomfortable like this,” roz teased. “Yes they did. And I agreed. But I’m not just going to be a babysitter whenever you feel like it fielding.” Dan smiled at her and reached over for her hand.

“I wouldn’t dream of it.” He assured her. “Thank you roz. Really. It means a lot to us. To me.” I smiled at the two of them before squeezing dans thigh.

“how’s it going with the wheelers?” I asked. Dan sighed and let his head fall onto my shoulder.

“I made a bet with Julianne. That I could take any case and beat her. I almost had it too. But they opened their mouths and I lost.” He sighed. I started to run my fingers through his hair as I chuckled.

“that’s what you get for betting on the wheelers.” I teased. Dan groaned.

“you should know better Dan. You know them better than anyone.” Roz joined in.

“oh great. Now there’s two of them.” He grumbled as he sat up. I leaned into him as he wrapped an arm around my waist, hand on my stomach.

“that’s right fielding. And soon there’ll be three.” Roz laughed. “Your worst nightmare.” Dans head found my shoulder again as I laughed.

[girl-drink-drunk]

One Monday in 1987, RTVE (the spanish public TV) premiered right after the evening news, an American sitcom about a bunch of weirdos working in a courtroom. I, at the age of 11, was fascinated by the first episode. I laughed out loud and automatically got hooked on the series. I remember that the first 7 seasons were broadcasted in one go, because here in Spain at that time things were like that: the series arrived late and there was no internet to follow them up to date, you had to wait for the TV stations in our country to buy them and broadcast them. Night Court was the show that turned me into a TV series fan. The one that turned me into a shipper when we still didn't even know what a ship was. The one that introduced me to my first crush. The one that kept me glued to the screen watching the final episode and when I finished it made me feel that it was the end of an era. For many years I felt I was the only one who still remembered this old show, and I looked for a way to get it somehow. But there was no way, it was not released in physical, and with the arrival of streaming platforms, unfortunately it was not available on any of them either. It has taken me 35 years to see it released on DVD and finally have it on my shelf. Since the beginning of this year I have been watching it again, from the first episode, little by little, at my own pace, and sharing in social media the impressions of the 48 year old Pili and the memories of the 11 year old Pili. But I admit that what makes me happiest about all this all are two things: that Night Court has aged beautifully and much better than I expected, and that there are more fans of this show here on the internet than I ever imagined. I know the new series (wich I'm loving, too) has a lot of blame for that, and I welcome and embrace all of this. So, my inner child is really extatic and I'm very happy to see so many Dan Fielding fans (and John Larroquette fans, of course)

Love you all, really

[whale-wolf]

I really, REALLY appreciate John Larroquette. Like, I loved Dan from the start, but can you imagine if they had kept him as he was from the first few episodes? Thank you, John, for being the crude asshole you are because Night Court would've gone so much differently.

[moviemunchies]

Imagine, if you will, a non-Disney version of a Once Upon a Time-ish miniseries from twenty years ago. That is the fastest way to describe The 10th Kingdom.

“I’m wishing on a star…”

There is a world with nine kingdoms, in which all the famous fairy tales you know took place, ruled by the descendants of those tales’ heroes and villains. Snow White’s stuck-up grandson, Prince Wendell, is about to be crowned King of the Fourth Kingdom. He has a routine annual visit to the kingdom’s prison, but there’s a jailbreak, and the Evil Queen escapes. She uses magic to make Prince Wendell switch bodies with a dog, though before she can capture Dog!Wendell, he escapes through a magic mirror to…

Our world, the Tenth Kingdom. Specifically, Central Park in New York City, where he runs into Virginia Lewis, a young woman who is too cynical to believe in happy endings working as a waitress. She lives with her father, Tony, a maintenance man in a skyscraper. The Evil Queen decides to send some peons after Wendell: trolls who helped her escape, and Wolf, a half-wolf (werewolf-type, I think).

Of course, shenanigans ensue.

Despite not getting a ton of watchers when it first aired, this series turned out as a sort of cult classic. And it’s not hard to see why–it’s a fun little story with surprisingly deep worldbuilding that invites one to want to like this world. There’s strong character work with our protagonists and antagonists, too. Virginia isn’t a boring, no-feature protagonist. She’s a cynical young woman (and she has reason to be cynical) dragged into a fairy tale. Wolf wants to try to be good for Virginia but doesn’t know how. Tony is short-sighted and easily magic’d, but ultimately wants what’s best for his daughter.

And it’s got Warwick Davis! He’s in there.

There are fun villains, too! Unlike Once Upon a Time, there’s not really much of an attempt to make the Evil Queen too sympathetic (though it’s not the same Evil Queen, I guess). She’s still a good villain, who takes over every scene she’s in. And there’s the Huntsman, played by Rutger Hauer, who just feels like a fairy tale villain come to life in his performance.

There are a couple of weaknesses in the characters. Tony Lewis can be quite annoying with how short-sighted he is, making bone-headed decisions without thinking of how it would go in the long-run. The thing is that I think it works: he’s not the sort of person that cares about fairy tales, and we all know at least one person who would make exactly the same choices because they think it’s clever. Heck, if recent events teach us anything, it’s that there are plenty of people who make dumb choices for short-term cash without looking at the big picture. It helps that when push comes to shove, Tony cares for his daughter and is willing to go to great lengths to protect her.

It is also interesting to see John Larroquette playing a complete doofus, considering that the roles I remember him from, Chuck and The Librarians, he is very much not a doofus.

The trolls… can just be annoying, though. Okay, yeah, they’re supposed to be, they’re stupid trolls. And they don’t have any likable underbellies like Tony does. They are sometimes amusing, but not as much as they’re clearly intended to.

I like the idea, presented in the story, that magic items are inherently addictive. When Virginia picks up some magic shoes that may prove helpful, Wolf is quick to try to dissuade her because they’ll have to use them. And that’s an interesting idea that fits in perfectly with a fairy tale-type world–of course using a shortcut will become addictive to the user.

Given the title, and the title sequence, you’d think that the story takes place heavily in New York. Aside from the first bit of the story, it really doesn’t. I suppose the fairy tale realm of the nine kingdoms makes for a better setting, all-around, yet it still might have been fun to see these things play out in modern NYC. I suppose Enchanted scratched that itch a few years later.

There is quite a bit of suggestive content, especially in dialogue (mostly Wolf’s…) which kind of surprised me? I don’t think it’s a problem, mostly, and really, it goes along with the theme they’re going for. Because the old fairy tales could certainly be suggestive. I’m not thrilled with it, but I can’t say it’s completely out of place.

It’s fun. I don’t think it’s brilliant, but it is good, and it’s kind of cool to see how someone approached fairy tale stories in modern day on television long before Once Upon a Time came along. The only major complaint I have is that some of the effects really haven’t aged that well. Then again, it was made on a TV budget, so I suppose it can be forgiven for that.

[jedijenkins]

hi i noticed your post abt cassie's sexuality and I wanted to ask about that. i thought it was interesting you had mentioned her feelings for jenkins in and the eternal question since I had always interpreted that as more her clinging onto smth esp since he's immortal after hearing her tumor had gotten Worse. like, they're close friends, but I never really saw that as her actual feelings, but I also noticed you had said this wasn't the only time, and I can't remember any other time. Sorry if this sounds like I'm pissing on the poor, and I'm really happy lindy has found so much joy in bi cassie, ig I'm just what I'm forgetting lol

Cassandra's attraction in Jenkins is genuine and she's been into him since the first season. Dean Devlin and Lindy Booth had a personal dinner early on in production of the show where Dean asked her which of the other main characters she would be in love with, alongside her single episode love interests. (As she's canonically polyamorous as well and her romantic feelings for multiple people don't contradict.) Lindy Booth, who has had a celebrity crush on John Larroquette because she is Night Court stan, immediately said Jenkins. She also said that she feels Cassandra is attracted to and fascinated by immortals and immortality, because of her own relationship with her mortality. This is why the Eternal Questions has her confessing her long existing crush on Jenkins at the same time she starts to fall in love with Estrella (another immortal) - and the two don't contradict each other. Jenkins returns those feelings but is held back by his oath to Charlene and feeling like he can never break it, but when Charlene dies she essentially tells Jenkins that he needs to let go of her and that oath and live his own life. It's after this that we see Jenkins start to openly return Cassandra's attempts to spend time alone together more, which we see throughout season four.

They literally have a fake out scene that makes the audience think they're doing something sexual lol, I'll have to track it down and add it to this post afterwards. And then in the Cassandra centric episode, the person she mentally imagines to calm herself down and tell her what the right thing to do is - an extremely romantic trope - is Jenkins. In the Trial of the One, Cassandra volunteers to DIE because she would rather die than live in a world WITHOUT JENKINS specifically. Because she is in love with him. Then she is the one framed as the widow in the funeral scene, showing the most anguish, betrayal and grief. All the others treat her like she has lost something even more than they have, because they know she was in love with him. Jenkins, in his dying moments, chose to look into Cassandra's eyes, hold her and and tell her that spending time with her was worth dying for.

I've said it before back in the day, but the only reason people don't treat Casskins like any other mortal/immortal ship is because Jenkins actually looks old and doesn't look like an eternally sexy 19 year old lmfao. But Cassandra is literally in her thirties with wrinkles on her face as well and she wants that old man in ways unspeakable to mankind and i'm shocked people manage to miss it. If you go back, she literally checks him out on a regular basis in s1 and s2 lmfao. Now, i'm not saying anyone has to like this ship. If it's not for you, that's fine. But Cassandra being in love with Jenkins is extremely canon and that's just fact, and it was planned from the start. Lindy and Dean have both talked about this on Lits of the Round Table, as well as at ElectricCon.

here is the link to our interview with lindy booth on lits of the round table, and some of the panel questions and interviews with actors from electriccon where uploaded to electricnow here

since i cant embed videos in tumblr posts it seems i posted the scene i was talking about here

[jimmyspades]

Random very rambling Boston Legal finale thoughts bc I’m bored some sorta spoilers obviously

Sometimes I think the writers forget Alan is a widower lol (like that scene earlier in 5x09 when he says "I was lucky enough to stave off the evil that so ages men... marriage.") but then 5x12 he says "I always thought, if I were to get married again..." so. I guess they remembered !

I'd always pictured Alan coming from a relatively well-off family, in large part bc of those episodes of The Practice season 8 where he goes back to his hometown of Dedham and his best friend is from a wealthy family, wealthy neighborhood, and also his general tastes and almost patrician attitude and things. But after noticing that line from the Thanksgiving episode—"I grew up in a very estranged, unhappy house. Most Thanksgivings my mother spent serving dinner in other people's homes"—which makes it clear they were not rich and perhaps the opposite? But nevertheless, keeping that fact in mind when Alan says he's always dreamt of opening a legal aid firm to help poor people who can't afford it...... sweet man. He’s done so much good and he’s only getting started

On a similar-ish note. Something about Alan remembering everything that’s ever happened to him—every wrong, every pain, every cruel word from his father, every time he was used. He’s been cursed with a steel-trap memory, it’s why he keeps people at arms length. But now that’s the one thing his best friend is losing, his mind. And as Denny’s legal partner and eventual caretaker, Alan’s curse becomes a blessing—he can remember for both of them. He’ll always be there to remember everything Denny forgets, to reassure him for the rest of his life. Ohhh man. Soulmates.

Still waiting for John Larroquette to share an autobiography someday because I would loveeee to hear his thoughts on the show generally/working with James specifically. On Night Court in the 80s, John and Richard Moll had some issues working together for the very same reasons I imagine John and James would not exactly mesh (work style/approach to acting)... but blegal is a much different show in style and format that I thiiiiink would negate some of those potential problems. But fascinated to hear how they got on!

How it feels thinking 100x harder about these TV lawyers than the writers did. Specifically being so mad about Alan Shore I want to analyze him like a bug I love him so deeply he’s such a wonderfully complicated character—while knowing it was just James’ day job for a couple years ago and probably means nothing to him on any deeper level and he hasn’t thought about him since 2008:

warnings: swearing, pregnant reader, spoilers for season 3 latest episode

“you sure no one can tell?” I asked, pulling my shirt tight against my stomach. Dan chuckled as he came up behind me, pushing up my shirt as he pressed his hands against the now visible bump. “I would rather they not see it. I don’t want any special treatment just because…”

“(Y/N), it’s fine.” Dan whispered. “They’ll love it. And you know they won’t give you any more special treatment than they already do.” He pressed a kiss to my temple. I put my hand over his and leaned back into him.

“Dan.” I whined as I smiled at him. “Don’t…” I froze as I looked down at our hands. “You feel that?” I looked back at him with a small smile. Dan nodded, staring at our hands in awe.

“She’s kicking.” He whispered. Another little push against our hands made him cup my cheeks and kiss me. I laughed as he pulled away.

“what makes you so sure it’s a girl?” I asked. Dan shrugged with a smile.

“gut feeling.” He said. I nodded as I cupped his cheek.

“sure.” I said, moving to grab my bag and put on my shoes. “Ready to go find out for sure?” Dan nodded as he held his hand out for me. An hour later we were headed to work. “You’re just mad I was right.” Dan laughed. I stuck my tongue out at him as he pulled into his parking space. Dan chuckled before leaning over to kiss me.

"Hey. It doesn't matter. As long as we have a happy and healthy baby, I'm happy." He whispered. "And you know as well as I do that gender is a variable. Whatever she chooses to be, we will support her." Dan put his hand on my belly before kissing me again. "But we should maybe think about gender neutral names just in case." I laughed as I teared up slightly. "What?" Dan asked, confusion flashing across his features.

"Nothing. Just you being..." I shrugged. Dan smiled softly at me as he nodded. "Come on. We've got to go get this over with." Dan held my hand tightly as we walked into the courthouse. "Oh good." I said as everyone looked up from their table. "Hey. Uh we found out the gender today." Abbie jumped up as she hurried over to me.

"Really?" She asked excitedly. I nodded as Dan pulled out a chair. He gently pulled me down onto his knee as everyone watched. "What is it?" Dan leaned over to hand Wyatt the latest sonogram.

"Dan was right." I sighed. "We're having a girl!" Everyone cheered as Abbie patted Dan on the back.

"Good luck Dan." She teased. "Everything you ever did is going to come back to bite you in the ass." Dan rolled his eyes as he pulled me a little closer. "By the way my friend Heather is coming back tonight." Dan groaned as he sat back in the chair. "She said she had a surprise for me so heads up." Gurgs handed me back the sonogram. I passed it back to Dan who tucked it into his pocket.

"Good luck and I am going to make myself scarce." He said, helping me up before walking down the hall. We were able to avoid Heather for most of the night. When Abbie didn't show up after lunch, Dan sighed before leading me to go find her. "Oh wow. You finally meet a man that's shorter than you and you're blowing it." Abbie looked over at him from her spot in front of the baby stroller parked in front of the couch. I gently hit Dan's arm and he shot me a look.

"Where's Heather?" I said. "And who's baby is this?" I smiled at the baby and gently shook his foot.

"This is Heather's baby. She named him Digorno." She said, exhausting clear in her voice.

"Heather's..." I broke off as I looked back at Dan. He shook his head as Abbie got up and started pacing.

"And he doesn't like me. I have never been good with babies. And you know what? i don't really even like babies!" She ranted. Abbie threw the burp cloth on the desk. Dan chuckled as he sat down on the couch.

"Yeah yeah yeah." He said, waving his hand at her. "I get the same reaction when I tell people I don't like kittens." I snickered. Abbie shot him a look and Dan narrowed his eyes at her. "They can sense death Abbie. Don't mess around with the dark magic." I bit my lip to stop from laughing. Dan gently hit my side with a smirk.

"Why don't we watch Digorno for you?" I said, turning to look at Abbie again. "Besides we could use the practice." I shrugged looking at Dan. He nodded, already making faces at the baby in the stroller.

"I mean. Come on. How soft his feet are." He said, looking up at me with a smile. "That wonderful smell? It's coming from him!" I chuckled as I looked at Abbie.

"I think we're gonna be ok here." I added. Abbie nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. She left the room and Dan looked at me. "We've got this." I shrugged. Dan smiled with a nod.

"Help me get him into the carrier." Dan said, moving to get it put on. I stared at him and Dan scoffed. "Yeah like I'm going to let you wear this and have him press or kick against your stomach. Come on." I nodded, trying to discreetly wipe my eyes as I got Digorno out of the stroller. He gurgled as I got him attached to Dan. We headed back into the courtroom and Abbie frowned.

"Counselor..." She started. Dan gently shushed her.

"Shhh baby's happier when he think you aren't here." Dan teased. I rolled my eyes at him as he took the folder and started going through the case. "This could be interesting." He muttered as he gently bounced with the baby. I took a deep breath as my hand came to rest on my stomach. As Dan started talking, I rubbed circles into it as I felt the baby kick again. I gently smiled at Dan, knowing she was probably kicking because she was hearing her dad. Dan paused before coming over by me. "Now this is in no way how it will go with our daughter. But...I know Heather was using those organic crap diapers. Can you please take him and change him?" I nodded as I reached for Digorno.

"Counselor? Is there an issue?" Abbie called. Dan turned to look at her as we started to unattach Dan from the baby.

"Just a little situation. We're perfectly fine." Dan said. Abbie gave him a look.

"Then can we get back to the case counselor?" She asked. Dan glanced at me before turning back to her.

"I will need a brief recess of say a minute." He said. Abbie shook her head and Dan looked at me, a slight panic on his face. "You really need to take this baby. The smell has a heat to it." Glancing at Abbie, I reached behind Dan and just unclipped the carrier. He sagged slightly before smiling at me thankfully.

"I'll watch him. Go finish work." I assured him. Dan nodded appreciatively before heading back to his spot. I went and changed him, playing with him as I worked. Heather came back and watched me for a minute.

"Abbie tells me your pregnant." She said, coming into the room. I nodded, picking Digorno up and gently bouncing with him.

"Yeah." I said. "We found out we're having a girl today so..." I laughed quietly as I booped the baby in my arms. "Perfect timing." Heather laughed as she reached out for him. I handed him over before helping her clean up.

"Just a word of advice. Take it if you want or forget it I don't care." She said. "It seems like chaos. Too much going on at once or not at all. And sometimes you are going to question why you did this at all." I nodded as I held the stroller for her to help put Digorno down. "When it feels like that, just hold her. Hold her close and take a breath. She'll be worth it. In the end." Heather smiled at me. "Even if it doesn't seem like it in the moment. Hold her with Dan. Take a million pictures of the three of you. Or her and him. Have him take pictures of you and her." She shrugged. "Just exist in the moment." She shrugged on the diaper bag and turned to leave. Dan appeared in the doorway, smiling at me before heading to the stroller.

"You tell anyone we had this exchange and I will deny it. But ciao Digorno." He said before gently booping the baby. He nodded to Heather as she left before coming over to hug me. "What was that about?" He asked, dropping a kiss to the top of my head.

"Just a little advice from one new parent to another." I said, hugging him tight. "You did good today." I said, looking up at him. Dan smiled at me before kissing me softly.

"Let's head home. And start thinking up baby names." He said, taking my hand and leading me out.

[misanthropemom]

I have thought of the perfect way to disempower celebrity worship.

Join me on my train of thought:

First I was thinking about John Larroquette in The Librarians; who is the number one person on the planet who can wear and look good in a three-piece suit;

Then I was thinking about the scene where after he lost his immortality he didn't understand the sensations he was receiving from his torso and didn't know whether he needed the kitchen or the bathroom.

And that made me think of John Larroquette taking a poop. Like, sitting on the toilet, taking care of necessary human function.

And it works with pretty much any celebrity you can imagine. Chris Evans on the toilet the day after a really spicy dinner and it smells so bad that even Roger leaves the room.

Megan Fox poops. Your favorite internet celebrity poops. Remember that when you start getting carried away by how awesome these people are that you only see in Media.

“Imagine constantly flirting with Jenkins and he doesn’t think you seriously like him, until you kiss him”

Requested by @theleaguewhoalwayslocked - wont let me tag for some reason

He stared down at you in shock “You- I... wha-”

Raising your eyebrows you smirked “Jenkins speechless? Now that’s something I never thought I’d see”

[xenosagaepisodeone]

the host of one of my favorite podcasts is the son of actor John Larroquette, who did the voiceover for the intro to the original texas chainsaw movie and like. once as a teenager him and his friends dropped acid and decided to watch it but he didnt realize his dad had done the opening voiceover so when he heard it he got really weirded out and confused lol

I cannot imagine what it would be like to just have dropped a ton of acid with your friends and then to suddenly hear the disembodied voice of your father narrating that on this night a bunch of teens got murdered

[marchharesteatable]

Feeling real poopy today so I am pirating The 10th Kingdom. It was my go to sick day show as a kid. Fingers crossed it hold up. (partly why I haven't revisited it before now is I couldn't deal with it turning out to be full of Issues and knowing I internalized all of it. this is a show my grandmother introduced me to and we have been no contact for a long time. I'm sure you can infer the rest.)

Anyways the intro is so much better then I remember, it's like watching scholastic book sale be imagined.

I remembered the protagonist being much younger, oh God im so glad they purposefully chose an adult with a young face. I was worried about the future romance plot.

Oh hey it's young John Larroquette. No wonder I love this.

The invisible person still looks like the cover art for the best book at an early 2000s scholastic book fair. (I may just put these on a pedestal as I only got new books once a year (I now realise it's when my moms scholarship money probably came in, bless her) so I would try spend every free moment looking, touching, wishing it wasn't against the rules to read just the first chapter)

[adamwatchesmovies]

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)

I know these words get tossed around often but I mean it when I say The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is one of the scariest films ever made. Even if you don’t agree, its influence on the horror genre is undeniable.

Sally Hardesty (Marilyn Burns), her paraplegic brother Franklin (Paul A. Partain) and their friends Jerry (Allen Danziger), Kirk (William Vail), and Pam (Teri McMinn) are travelling by van through the countryside to visit an old family home. After encountering a disturbed hitchhicker (Edwin Neal), they cross paths with a family of cannibals.

Immediately striking is the picture’s knack for feeling more documentary than fiction. The conversations between the young adults are innane and they speak over each other like normal friends do. Aside from the news-like voice over (by John Larroquette) at the beginning, little about what you see foreshadows what’s coming. When characters die, the violence is brief, almost as if the cameraman is eager to leave the scene of a real-life crime. When the film’s most memorable character, Leatherface (Gunnar Hansen), appears, it’s out of nowhere and shocking. At any point, you’re never quite sure who the main character is and therefore, you never know quite when the picture will end. Similarly, there are no character arcs or typical “film-y” conventions. Many of the most frightening and shocking scenes happen during the day, adding extra credibility to this tale of horror.

These elements combined make this a living nightmare. The violence is often left to your imagination. You see just enough to know you don't want to see more. It’s a nearly overwhelmingly bleak film, particularly when the cannibals overwhelm the heroes and laugh about the fact that they’ve done this before and plan on doing this again. While many horror films play up the morbid humor inherent to a killer picking people off one by one in increasingly gruesome ways, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre piles on the dread relentlessly. A prolonged scene has Sally running from the chainsaw-wielding maniac, screaming at the top of her lungs. It just keeps going and going. You wonder when it’s going to stop because it makes you uncomfortable. But that’s the thing. You’re uncomfortable because you can’t do anything about it and you know, deep down, that no one is coming to save her from those dark woods. It’s traumatizing and gives a double-meaning to the picture’s tagline “Who will survive, and what will be left of them”?

By the time your mind comes to grips with what’s just happened, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre has already moved on. You’re never given the footing necessary to recover from what you see. Just thinking about the film's final scene gives me chills. The use of music, the camera work, the lightning, the simple but effective scares and the realistic presentation make this 1974 film still terrifying today. (On Blu-ray, October 26, 2018)
