OKAY, so I have these two friends.
One does NOT like action movies, especially super hero movies and stuff like that. (This is the kind of friend who refused to watch any Fast & Furious and has only watched one LotR because I managed to prompt her.) HOWEVER the one super hero kind of deal she does like (and LOVES by the way) is Deadpool.
The other friend doesn’t like gore and such. They’re not a big fan of violence. HOWEVER their exception is ALSO Deadpool.
So just to confirm with people: Deadpool is the exception to the rules right?
If you then put into play the fact that that second friend (the gore no-goer) actively enjoyed Six Underground, featuring Ryan Reynolds, and I KNOW that my other friend (super hero no-goer) enjoys films featuring the aforementioned movie star (save for F&F: H&S because they REFUSE to watch it), there can only be one conclusion.
Ryan Reynolds is the exception.
Or am I just crazy?
#deadpool#ryan reynolds#is he the exception or is there a rule to exceptions?#cause it could just be like comedy tied in#or something to do with the directors?#like they make excellent movies#at least for me and my tastes#I'm probably just going crazy#six underground#super hero

Guys. The cows were about how if people don't like you or don't want to listen to you, they'll decontextualise your actions and use them to discredit you in any situation. How doing one (1) memorable bad thing can be held against you forever. The cows are about looking a council of world leaders in the eyes, telling them we're all being robbed of our futures by megacorporations, showing them the receipts and numbers and photographic evidence, and being told none of your arguments matter actually because you're The Cow Guy.
The cows are about how people don't forgive, not really.
#the way people talk about the cows and John sometimes kind of reminds me of what I mear about the Hunger Games movies#how they leaned into making everything sensational and cinematic the way the Captiol wanted it to be perceived#like on one hand way to miss the point#but on the other hand excellent active demonstration of the thesis statement#A+ on legitimising John's worldview#the locked tomb#nona the ninth#emperor john gaius#john gaius#ntn spoilers#1-800-COW-WALL

AKHENATEN
uhhh let's see. I combined some sketches I did of Nefertiti and Akhenaten and ended up somewhere here for an Akhenaten design. in my heart, it's for a comic but there's so much visual research I'd have to do before I could even think about approaching a comic. oof.
anyway moving on: Akhenaten was a childhood obsession! and then I moved onto other things, as one does, but then a couple months ago I decided to check out some books and now I have a headache.
Akhenaten, Ronald T. Ridley
#i did outline my ideal high stakes political drama set during this particular dynasty focusing on akhenaten tho#all these historians have been just. straight up saying things about this guy for centuries and while some of it is absolute nonsense#some of the other stuff makes for EXCELLENT political thriller material#especially with the wider table of factions at play like yeah baby i see your father's policy style. i see you. i know what soundtrack#this kind of scene should have#ancient egypt tag#GOD there was a sword and sandals film that had their set design take notes from ancient egypt over ancient greece#and it was SUCH a cool meta narrative esp when you consider Egypt's impact on all the Mediterranean empires#like yes YES if the roman sword and sandal movies had a spine they'd do it too

My pitch for a High School musical sequel
Sharpay's musical theater career never went anywhere, so now she lives vicariously through her daughter. She terrorizes the East High drama department because she demands her daughter get all the lead roles, and she comes in and micromanages everything, etc.
Sharpay Junior is our sympathetic main character who wants to escape from her mom's control. She likes musical theater, but she's beginning to think that, gasp, she might have other interests! (Shocking, I know).
Gabriella is the school's science teacher, and she serves as a kind of mentor for Little Sharpay, teaching her that it's okay to like music and still do other things.
Troy's the basketball coach, of course, continuing the family tradition of men who cling to their high school glory days.
Maybe Troy and Gabriella's son could be the romantic interest? Little Sharpay has a connection with him, but of course Sharpay doesn't want her daughter involved with the family that stole her lead roles out from under her, and she doesn't want this boy distracting her darling from her theatrical career.
Of course, the process of deciding not to be in the musical requires Little Sharpay to take part in several heartfelt and elaborately-choreographed school-wide musical numbers.
#high school musical#i went by my sister's and she had it on#i also learned my soon-to-be brother-in-law has the songs memorized#like he was full-on singing the lyrics to a song none of us girls knew#(he has sisters it makes sense but also it's hilarious)#it's such a delightfully stupid movie#and sharpay has such a sad life to care that deeply about high school drama club#she would make an excellent karen#and the process of writing these tags led to the entire predictable next-gen pitch above

So I just finished watching “Blade Runner” (The Final Cut) for the first time after re-reading “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?”, and I just feel like…they took all of the best, interesting, thought provoking parts of the book and decided they didn’t belong in the movie?
The first seven pages of DADoES I was constantly remarking “oh this is an interesting thing to say about humans/robots/aromanticism-as-tied-to-robots”, and at that point I had to stop myself from making detailed notes so I could actually finish the book in a reasonable time frame. After BR, I don’t really have anything to analyze or remark upon except “they took all of the roboticism out of the allegedly robot movie, and now there’s no aromanticism either”.
#this is just stream of consciousness first reactions to blade runner#i would need to rewatch the film to be able to stand behind any analysis i do of it#but i just…why would they make a movie that’s supposed to be about robots#and then not have any roboticism in it?#excellent visuals and excellent music but no robots. i don’t currently understand why this film is so popular#like to be clear i know the replicants are supposed to be the robots; i just don’t feel like they really are tied to robots#in terms of tropes/themes/plotlines/general depiction and portrayal.#aro#aromantic#aspec#lgbtq#queer#original

Guess who just watched the new sonic movie with Keanu Reeves as shadow the hedgehog???
I’ve seen people do something similar but with shadow and John Wick instead, but not with shadow and bill & ted and I needed to fix that
Also they literally have the same colors how cool is that
#bill and ted are like a parasite that has infected my brain#where everything makes me think of them#but in this case it literally is ted theodore logan#bill and teds excellent adventure#bill and ted#bill s preston esquire#ted theodore logan#sonic#sonic 3#sonic movie 3#sonic the hedgehog#shadow the hedgehog#keanu reeves#my stuff#my art#partial prints posts

Had to endure watching Nosferatu with my dad but it’s okay because I cannot stop thinking abt how fine Ellen was when she was going bonkers
#nosferatu#nosferatu 2024#lily rose depp#ellen hutter#i say “endure” bcuz the sexy stuff is awkward to watch with a parent#not bcuz my dad sucks or anything like that he’s actually a really chill guy#oh and excellent movie btw#managed to make me temporarily forget how life-alteringly horrible my week has been#ellen was hot but not as hot as my gf btw i am a loyal woman

First Snow (2006)
"Hey, they say it's gonna fuckin' snow down here this year, can you believe that?"
#first snow#first snow (2006)#guy pearce#screencaps#psygullisms#filmposting#good film. excellent film in fact#the characterization was amazing. well written and well acted film#jimmy is so slimy but he also has obsessive tendencies and a deep seated anxiety i really like him#a movie about getting worked up over nothing and making peace with the inevitable. love a movie about fate#sorry all my screencaps are profile views of guy pearce i was going a bit crazy over the shoulder length hair and sideburns combo#every once in a while somebody will be wearing an outfit that makes you go ooh babey it's 2006#directors are always putting guy in diners and making him drive dusty ass cars. no shower scene in this one though#also shout out to adam scott for showing up for like two seconds and also for part of the movie taking place in oklahoma. targeted#hit close to home in a couple parts not gonna lie

Gus and Shawn should have to deliver a baby. Gus has all the theoretical knowledge but takes one tiny peek and he CANNOT. Shaun's there like "ok buddy head between your knees I got this I know just what to do, uhhhhh (gus what do i do? oh yea? ok got it) wow this is so cool and so gross"
#psych#for all i know this happens in the 3 seasons and a movie i have yet to watch!#if so dont spoil me i like to be surprised!#either way theyd make an excellent (serviceable) midwifery dream team!

ok the love scene in rwrb was good, y'all were right
#“who's doing what” an excellent question!! we love that he felt comfortable to bring it up!!#“make love” yeah we weren't even trying for enemies with benefits#it felt like the scene they put the most work into from a cinematography and direction standpoint and i respect that#intimacy does involve teamwork and mutual vulnerability and so so much trust#also the hands#gotta have hands when it comes to gay love scenes#rwrb#red white royal blue#consent culture#rwrb movie#rwrb spoilers
