So guys… I finally just watched the Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii movie and…. OMGGGGGGGG IT WAS SO FREAKING GOOD!!!!!!!

I was completely entranced and captivated while watching this movie; it was so magical seeing them play, and it was filmed so beautifully!!! I just adore how the camera never was still; it was always moving and switching positions and sometimes was even in sync to the music!! And I just adore how they included footage from Pompeii as well (the mosaics, Mount Vesuvius, the old architecture…). What made it even better was seeing how the band themselves enjoyed it too! I could see in all the songs they were completely vibing (especially Nick and Rick). I am still jittery and full of adrenaline writing this… Genuinely one of the best, if not the best, concert movie I’ve ever seen!!!!

Here are my fav moments (from the top of my head)

The spinning camera whenever the cameras really focused on Nick

The eye contact Nick held with the rest of the band in some moments

Roger banging the gong and cymbals like a madman in A Saucerful of Secrets

Just, the entirety of Echoes Part 1 and how it was filmed (especially when they did the crazy cuts during the groovy part and those short cuts to just seeing Roger and David play)

Rick and David petting Mademoiselle Nobs (it was so cute!!!)

Seeing everyone just completely entranced and vibing in the celestial voices part of A Saucerful of Secrets

How the camera switches between Rick and David singing in both echoes parts

How Nick loses a drum stick during One of These Days

How the footage was slowed just before the beat drop in One of These Days

Showing Nick playing the drums from multiple angles repeated across the entire screen in One of These days

The slow pan during the groovy part of Echoes (and during other songs as well)

Showing David playing the guitar repeated across the screen during Echoes part 1

Showing Rick’s hands during echoes part 2 (piano players still amaze me; how do they do two drastically different things with each hand???)

The volcano erupting footage playing while Roger was screaming in CWTAE

Just, in general the footage they showed of Pompeii (like the artwork, statues, mosaics, nature, etc.)

The really fast cuts during Echoes’ groovy part and A Saucerful of Secrets

Just in general the amount of attention Nick got from the camera crew in this movie (it was so cool seeing him play, and Nick deserves more love!)

The spooky fog in STCFTHOTS

That one part where Rick plays piano with footage in the background in STCFTHOTS, as well as the parts with Nick playing with footage in the background

Them sitting on top of the amphitheater with Roger’s and David’s hands being really close

Since I watched the 1974 theatrical version, I also liked the interviews with Roger, David, and Nick

The banter the band had in the recording studios

When Nick repeatedly says he doesn’t want crust with his pie

Rick playing piano in Us and Them

David playing the guitar parts of Brain damage and having to do multiple takes (really shows how they worked in the studio)

Roger noodling with the synth looking all pretty like (at least to me) in On The Run

Roger playing/recording the bass part to Eclipse with (possibly) David looming in the background and watching

Roger looking over David’s shoulder trying to see what magazine he’s reading and Nick trying to do the same before quickly giving up (in Us and Them)

And lastly, all the parts in the movie where it shows the band playing while they’re all huddled up and close to each other with footage playing in the background

Sorry for rambling… I was so excited after watching this that I just felt like writing down this post…

Btw, this is where I watched the movie: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyGHs2yXwu1S_JEOpW3vlFeXFla449SLs&si=wEOTAQbgzJRQ9Rvi

Apparently it’s the best version out there…

least favorite jared harris role

boy that's tricky. considering I watched both The Eternal and The Ward earlier this week (in lieu of birthday celebrations bc of course I celebrate by watching things with my one special little guy in it)... there are new contenders. that being said I think there's two answers for this: actual worst role, and role that is the most painful for me to watch. and it's two different answers actual worst role goes to Older Will Robinson in the 90's reboot of lost in space because not only did they put him in a fucking muppet wig but for SOME REASON they decided to dub his voice??? which is just a baffling choice on the part of the producers. it's painful to watch and to look at and it just isn't worth it like?? why would you cast that boy if that was all you were going to do with him? as for the 2nd, the role that is most painful for me to watch? the man from UNCLE. Look. I came in initially for my man. only for him to have a grand total of like. two minutes of screen time. if that. and it's a fucking guy ritchie film to boot (not entirely derogatory. he has his moments as a filmmaker. but some times I think 'this guy is gonna get cancelled any fucking day now' just by watching any given film of his). so then when I watched it, and told folks I watched it and that Henry Cavil is also in it, everyone else wanted to watch it with me. I have seen this movie a grand total of 5 separate times with 5 different people in the last half a year alone and let me tell you. that's four too many times. not worth it for the sliver of jared being delicious that you get for your efforts of sitting through the rest of a guy ritchie film. deeply unsatisfying fr. never fucking again man.

yes i already know what it is but i would like to hear more of Seaside For Your Health please <3

for those of you who are not jon my good friend jon (with whom this fic was brainstormed in the most literal sense) this is my SECOND fic for the wolf and the watchman. which as I said earlier I said I would write No fics about.

...and also this is in fact the fic where cardell and winge go on an ENTIRELY TONALLY UNSUITABLE ITALIAN VACATION!

look I think I'm allowed to spend thousands of words on winge not actively dying of consumption and cardell going someplace warm where the water doesn't remind him of death and both of them having a nice day for once in their cold sad lives.

“Good morning, Jean Michael.” His words are dry as ever, but today, sound less as if they originate in a throat entirely crusted over with rust. “Hardly morning anymore,” Cardell replies, with a tip of his head to the window. Winge pulls himself upright, his newly folded legs allowing Cardell enough room to properly make himself comfortable on the bed. “You ought not to permit me to sleep so long,” says Winge, but Cardell only scoffs and shrugs his shoulders. In that moment, what he wants more than anything is to push Winge back down and keep him still, to cast him solid in sunlight like an insect in amber until he’s satisfied with their rest. But Winge is already hauling himself to his feet, bracing himself against the headboard with both hands until he is confident that his legs will hold his weight. It’s rare now that Cardell needs to draw him out of bed and set him on his feet himself, for with his recovering health Winge has regained that strange energy and passion that had burned in him as he investigated. It is with that sort of methodical yet quick movement that Winge prepares himself for the day, donning his sole suit of fading crow’s-feather black as Cardell waits and watches. Cardell leans back, bracing his head against the wall, and makes himself comfortable while Winge dresses. There is enough idle talk to fill the room to his contentment — of the city, of their neighbors, of the Roman ruins in the foothills — anything at all that he thinks might pique Winge’s interest. Winge nods along as he buttons his waistcoat nearly to his chin, occasionally interjecting with a quiet hm! and a look back at Cardell. That is conversation enough for Cardell; he is perfectly satisfied to watch Winge ready himself for the day and trust that he will live to see that same day through.

Cannot BELIEVE I've now found TWO instances of my favorite ultra-specific plot point (whodunnit mystery where the culprit is a volcano)

[coolunspokenforname]

There needs to be a pompeii movie with Pompeii MMXXIII by Bastille as one of the main songs. Like, it's gotta be played while the volcano erupts and ash buries the city and people are running and screaming.
