Donald: *banging a pen on the table out of frustration*

Mickey: Stop that. How would YOU feel if I banged you on the table?

Donald: I—

Donald: I don’t know the correct answer to that question.

[from the an exception to the rule universe] Ian’s fingertips left a trail of fire in their wake, snaking up Mickey’s calves and thighs before coming to rest on his hips, grounding him to the earth. His tongue then followed, an arousing amalgamation of water and air, soft and sweet until Ian’s mouth consumed him, balls and all. In another timeline, with another man, Mickey would’ve been embarrassed, but in this one, with Ian, his whole package felt like the perfect fit.

I miss the way you say my name

The way you bend, the way you break

Your makeup running down your face

The way you fuck, the way you taste

@harrowhark-a-vagrant you are so right^

So if it's okay for religious business owners to refuse services to gay people because they don't like them, do I have the right to refuse services to religious people because I don't like them?

Ah see I love these questions because I know you think this is some sort of gotcha and the cool part is that it just shows how little you know about the subject.

You can't refuse general service but you can refuse commissioned speech. If I walk into your bakery tomorrow to buy a plain cake off the shelf, you have to treat me the same way you would treat the next guy who walks in. If I walk into your bakery to place an order for a cake that says Heil Hitler, you have every right to tell me to fuck off.

You can't refuse to sell me a t shirt with Mickey Mouse on it because I'm an atheist but you can refuse to custom make a shirt for me that says God is dead. You can't refuse to sell me a concert poster because I'm not Muslim but you can refuse to print one for me with the prophet Muhammad drawn on it. You can't refuse to make me a website for a coffee shop because I'm white but you can refuse to make me a website that promotes white supremacy.

Do you see the difference? Or should I keep going? This really isn't that hard to grasp. You are not entitled to buy someone else's speech.

This is THE kiss scene

Act of supremacy over any other one

Ok ok... the Dock Kiss and the deleted kitchen Kiss are on my top 3 too 😏 but this one...this is the very first time Mickey let himself go and said fu€k it! Let's do it! Even if they were in a crowd...of gays ok but for Mickey was a lot anyway 😉

"Move like you stole it...make your move on me!" 🎵🎶🎵

thoughts/things i liked (re: classics) abt mickey 17 having just got home from seeing it (spoilers)

in the earth alley scene where mickey & timo get cornered by the loan shark there was a coffee shop sign w/ a logo that was obviously meant to be a swastika

this was indeed marshall’s logo that he also put on his clothes

speaking of, the outfit he puts on for the scene where he decides how to punish the mickeys/nasha/the creeper (amongst other bits) was v nazi

marshall’s wife was very imperial woman (livia, agrippina minor etc)

bald cameraman guy was very imperial freedman but ALSO obviously big on religion (both christo-fascism and ancient roman)

aesthetics and morality (creepers, but also marshall)

LOVED the wordplay in the concluding voiceover abt the pro/anti marshall committee (pro/anti martial)

the shot near the end, of the (3?) big smoke clouds - one of them looked like a creeper/the Mother creeper doing the half-upright calling thing

the restrictions on sex was very ancient roman slave master (control of slaves’ sexual lives)

and then the repopulating sex that was more about “we’ve decided you’re having sex now” (during the dinner scene) - also very ancient roman slave master

similarly, deeply unsubtle White Supremacy (pure, vanilla, untouched, (snowy) etc)

tim key

the oxy - v nazis on meth

i’ve undoubtedly forgot some things but i’ll add em when i remember for posterity. i did also like other things (incl. the entire film generally) but these bits in particular pinged in my head as i was watching

My Mickey 17 hot takes

(aka I come to realize my experience is about the curse of knowledge and the bliss of ignorance and that I should find a different hobby than reading and thinking about fascism and anarcho-capitalism (like reading the Che Guevara diary my friend borrowed me and thinking about communism and normal anarchism instead))

Content note: minor scene spoilers but not the ending for Mickey 17 below the cut, featuring somewhat graphic discussion of practices in the Auschwitz concentration camps, the Holocaust/Shoah overall and the Katyn massacre later on in the post because I compare watching Mickey 17 with my experience watching The Zone of Interest and watching Katyń

It seems like everyone here on tumblr, one of the friends I went to see Mickey 17 with and all the people who write reviews for it online are convinced that Kenneth Marshall is supposed to be a stand in for Trump and while that may be one way to read the movie it's a pretty boring one and in my opinion part of the reason why it's getting so many mixed to bad reviews which it doesn't fully deserve.

Yeah the pacing of the movie is pretty awful at times, especially the exposition drags on and on. Yeah, the humor doesn't really land; at least for me it's neither dark nor absurd enough to actually be that funny, but maybe that's also due to the fact that it genuinely scared me for the first third of the movie; because none of this seemed like fiction to me. A lot of these ideas aren't futuristic metaphors anymore, they're being planned in reality right now. You just have to stop thinking of Marshall as Trump and start seeing Marshall as a mix of Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos and the plot becomes terrifying.

This movie is specifically about wealth and power; about how capitalism supports fascism, not about Trump or the attempted assassination on him.

And since Musk just retweeted another Holocaust denial post this weird connection that my brain has made between Mickey 17 and The Zone of Interest/Katyń seems somewhat relevant, but more about that later.

I'm pretty sure the hand sign they're doing at the start (in my memory after Mickey signed the contract, but I might be misremembering, but then definitely later when they're on the shuttle that brings them to the planet and are discussing the no sex rule and the white supremacy birth stuff) is supposed to be a stand in for the white power sign, but it also just happens to be the wolf salute, which admittedly is niche knowledge you probably only have if you're like me and spend a lot of your time keeping up with right-wing extremism or Neo-Nazi conspiracy theorists like Attila Hildmann and which definitely wasn't intended as such by Bong Joon Ho.

There's so many other examples that are reminiscent of the things billionaires do or are planning to do that perfectly fit into white supremacy and Nazi ideology that I wanted to discuss here but I've been thinking about this and writing this post for four days now and at this point I don't trust my memory with this anymore. I had a whole point about the sauces representing the objects Nazis created out of the human remains of the prisoners and not necessarily imperialist oil claims (though the movie definitely also is about imperialism) like someone on tvtropes.org wrote, about how water and thus liquids in general are luxury goods, but I'm not too confident about that now that my memory of the movie is deteriorating. So I'm not gonna continue this here, I just want to be able to publish this post so I can finally stop thinking about it for just a second.

If you want to read an actual good complete analysis just read someone else's or check out the tvtropes.org entry, idk.

What initially compelled me to write this post was that this whole experience reminded me of when I was watching The Zone of Interest with a friend: I sat in horror looking at the opening shot because I instantly recognized that bit of wall as part of Auschwitz because I stood in front of a wall just like that when I visited Auschwitz, while my friend next to me had no reaction until the camera panned out and revealed the whole height of the wall including the barbed wire and garden set up.

There's a lot of scenes like that in The Zone of Interest that you don't really get the severity of unless you have background knowledge about how Auschwitz was structured and operating. Take the scene where Hedwig Höß receives the watches for example; I don't remember there being context clues that these are watches from prisoners that got selected for her at the Kanada warehouses; so to someone who has no knowledge about Auschwitz she might as well be receiving an order she placed at some jewelry shop.

In that way ignorance is bliss, yeah, but it also robs you of a full understanding which I think is the case for many people who watched Mickey 17 and thought it's about Trump. I'm not saying that to gatekeep or to say I'm smarter than you. I'm someone who has no real pop culture knowledge, who constantly has references flying over her head. I'm saying sometimes you need additional knowledge to fully understand art, and if you don't realize that you might end up watching something and coming away with the feeling that it was bad or boring or had no point. And thinking Mickey 17 is about Trump does make the movie pretty boring.

Similarly this experience reminded me of when I thought it was a good idea to watch Katyń on a random weekday night: I knew what the movie would be about, I knew what would happen, I had read about the Katyn massacre, but to me there's a noticeable difference between reading about something and seeing something in visual art, because my own visual imagination is pretty bad. So after I had watched Katyń I couldn't sleep for hours and I had classes early in the morning the next day. The same thing happened with Mickey 17 except luckily I'm still on my semester break and had nowhere to be and could spend half of the night drafting whatever the hell this is.

All in all great movie, just some aspects of it might not live up to your expectations if you're going into this expecting another Parasite or if you're basing your expectations on the trailer. Which the adults of the 6-8 year old children who sat in our screening also had to realize after the movie turned to exploring the morality of death and dying as the main topic. They left very quickly after that, but these poor kids...

I watched the last four episodes of season 4 last night - well, only the first few minutes of the last one (Lazarus) before I went to bed. Like the whole episodes, not just their scenes. GOD what an amazing season. Ian was so luminous in the scene where they are talking about Fiona's disappearance (insert gif I don't know how to make here) and overall just beautiful. Ian was so fragile in so many ways this season even if he seemed "ok" - he wasn't and it was a great (although tough) arc and Cam played it beautifully. Mickey was also in peak form this season. Brown sweater supremacy and perfect haircut. And of course the bravest bunny to ever bunny. Noel knocked it outta the park.

Man what a gift that show was, especially in the earlier seasons (imho)

I really liked the story about Devivie and his parents. His father being a racially motivated serial killer was something you'd never see in another manga. And Devivie himself becomes a hitman for Disney Culkin Enterprises and kills off people selling knockoff Mickey Mouse Billy Bat stuff in foreign countries. Which kinda kinda mirrors his father's killings of Asian Americans in a way that they're both for wholly evil reasons that benefit white supremacy tbh. Remember Timmy Sanada's dad who's the Walt Disney Chuck Culkin of the world was also a nazi
