Just for Meeting You

Movies watched in 2024

Just for Meeting You (China, 2023)

Director: Liu Yulin

Writers: Fan Wenwen & Hu Shuxin (based on the novel by Zhang Haochen)

Mini-review:

I had been looking forward to this movie for a while, cause I really like the leading pair. Having just watched it, I must say it was... okay. I enjoyed it, and it's certainly not a bad movie: the writing and the directing are solid, and the acting is actually great. However, the story is just not particularly brilliant; it's funny, but not riotous; the dramatic parts work, but they don't reach the heartrending levels I expected. What makes the movie work is definitely the chemistry between Liu Haocun and Song Weilong. I've always been a pretty big fan of these actors, and they make such a great couple. Plus their work in the film is so beautiful and natural; there's not a single false note in their performances. So yeah, Just for Meeting You might not be groundbreaking or anything like that, but it's worth-watching for its two leads.

Well, that’s length-wise rather than height-wise, but yes! That would be the giant river otter (Pteronura brasiliensis), fellow countrymen of mine!

In fact, saying they’re 170 cm (5’7”) from head to tail is lowballing it a little. Some individuals as long as 180 cm (5’11”) have been recorded! Which is longer than I am tall 😔

You might have noticed that giant otters have a bit of a big cat-like look about themselves. That’s the origin of their name in Brazilian Portuguese, ariranha, which is a term from the Tupi-Guarani language and means “river jaguar”. And, just like ground jaguars, giant otters are apex predators as well: they mainly eat fish, but will hunt anything from snakes, turtles and even small caimans if given the opportunity!

Besides their size, giant otters have other traits that set them apart from their smaller cousins. For one, unlike most mustelids, they’re social animals who live in familial groups of up to twenty individuals, which whom they communicate constantly through a variety of different noises. Also, unlike other species of otter, whose tails are thick at the base and pointy at the end, giant otters’ tails also start out with a thick base, but they end up flat, which helps propel them through the water. The interesting thing about it, however, it’s that it’s not flat in an horizontal way, like the tails of other semiaquatic mammals such as beavers and platypuses. It’s flat vertically, not unlike the tail of a newt!

Being a “Fun Fact !” kind of autistic is all fun and games until you get halfway through sharing an interesting tidbit and realize that it probably wasn’t appropriate to share in polite company and now you have to deal with the consequences :(

thinking about a Damian who was raised his entire life hearing how much he looks like his Father, how he's the blood son, how he's better than any other child Bruce Wayne has taken in, starting to buy into it like a kid does, only to hit puberty and turn out looking like 80% Talia.

fanfic is so good bc the premise of some genres of fic are just inherently funny. I want these two grizzled crime drama protagonists to have some fucking fun for once, so they go to a water park. I dont care how i have to logic my way into them going there i dont care who has to drag them Theyre Going

For the last time, the Diamond Authority in Steven Universe isn't a stand-in for actual fascism, it's a vehicle for the queer power fantasy of getting your transphobic grandma to understand.
