Ford La Galaxie, 1958. Designed by Elwood Engel using  jet plane styling and futuristic detailing, the La Galaxie was the centrepiece of Ford's stand at the Chicago Auto Show. The reverse-angle rear window featured on Lincolns and Mercurys in the lat 50s and early 60s. Engle moved to Chrysler where he recycled some of the La Galaxie's styling for the 1963 Chrysler Turbine car. Like many "dream cars"of the 50s and 60s the La Galaxie was destroyed after its brief show career

It’s Morsestache Monday!

I love this scene.

The Morsestache is lush, vibrant and present, glowing in the fluorescent luminescence of his bunker and the vending machines. It’s a standalone character, part Tom Selleck, part Sean Connery, part Sweeney-era, all 1969.

The rest of Morse is tentative and shy, almost childlike, even a little apprehensive-not quite sure what response he is going to receive at this overture to resume their collaboration. 

For his part, Thursday is feeling his years, is embarrassed to find himself benched and demoted in front of his young protégé, and doesn’t quite know how to lead him with these debits on his ledger sheet.

Where you might expect at least a manly handshake, and a shoulder clap to reestablish connection, instead, you have a scene shot with a lot of vertical lines, indicating separation, distance, isolation, and a somewhat truncated, non-linear flow of conversation between them, with awkward gaps and silences, and unnatural speech patterns for them both. Fred doesn’t entirely turn around, and Morse hasn’t fully emerged from his cave. He reminds me of an eel, ready to dart back under a rock. We don’t see them truly face each other. They’re both protecting themselves.

It’s bittersweet and painfully awkward, as the two of them try to navigate this new reality without hurting the other or harkening back to better times which surely both of them miss terribly.

My not so close to cannon hc is that, after getting into college, Clarrise gets a car somewhere.

Some people assume she got it from her mom, or that Chris stole it for her, but the truth is she actually got it from Ares. Which means you can pretty much imagine what kind of car that is. It’s also unconfirmed but some of her brothers insist the car is magical in some way. Leo tried many time to convince her to let him see what the cars system is like on the inside, but was turned down in a not very nice way.

Very quickly she becomes the ‘carpool friend’ and also the one Chiron tasked with picking up demigods who go to school in NY at the end of semester and get them to CBH, there’s very few of them so she doesn’t mind, +some of them are mortified at the thought of getting in Clarrises car because of how fast she drives. The fist time Percy and Annabeth asked her for a ride, Percy said he was glad Ares didn’t offer to drive them to Vegas that one time, and Annabeth asked if the car really is magical, because she was convinced they should’ve crashed like ten times.

The only two people who will get in the car willingly and without any reason are Chris and Drew. Clarrise picks Drew up from school on regular basis whenever she comes to NY, and they just drive around. One time Sadie saw Clarrise picking Drew up and was convinced Drew was being kidnapped, the only reason she didn’t call the police was because she was stopped by Annabeth who introduced her to Clarrise.

I don’t care what the plot of the community movie is as long as it starts with a shot of Troy and Abed cuddled together in bed and sleepily singing “Troy and Abed in the morning” as they wake up

Hi there! I've seen you reblog some lcdp stuff and I thought I'd send you an ask. Who's your favourite character? Anything you've been dying to discuss about the show? :)

hi! hello!

Um

I might be basic in saying this, but Berlin is my favourite character in the show 😅 granted, Nairobi is a close second (actually adore all the characters, well, thieves anyways). I told myself i wouldn't be interested in a morally corrupt man, just because the actor is pretty, and I failed 😔 but god, Pedro Alonso is such a great actor, he really brings Berlin to life. Whilst i find Berlin as a character bloody fascinating (and in some ways, tragic), i do think Berlin wouldn't have been as popular a character if he were played by any other actor

in terms of discussion.. I'm not sure.

I'm sure everything about Berlin has been analysed to death - though I do find analysing his beliefs and experiences with love to be interesting.

I'm partial to the 'is bi and in love with Palermo' look at things, and the fact that him being a diagnosed narcissist means he probably doesn't have the healthiest view on love - but it's kinda interesting going down the thought path of, perhaps he's aromantic because he loves the feeling of being in love, he loves being desired, he loves the highs, but he doesn't ever seem to actually (romantically) love the people he pursues? idk. It's not a thought I've sat down with for long, but I think it's an interesting idea (that isn't to say he isn't sexually attracted, just,, maybe lacks romantic attraction, idk)

Less something I'm dying to discuss, but like, as an engineering student, I kinda love the insaneness of the second heist (of course it's insane, it was created by Berlin and Palermo), but also, like, the maths being pretty damn accurate? (ignoring the fact that they made it seem like gold weighed nothing, anyway-) and Martin's engineering drawings are just gorgeous! omg, so pretty. I pause almost every time to just look at them (I wish I was kidding) - actually, Palermo, in general, shows a type of engineer I don't often see, the more romantic, creative, bold kind? not bogged down purely by numbers (which, btw, doing calculations is an art form in of itself, thank you very much 😤), but faith and love too. Basically, feelings are attached to everything he does, every engineering design, every calculation, every idea. And engineers are often shown to be stuffy and care nothing for emotions. So I kinda enjoy seeing the type of engineer I'd like to be
