No matter how special it is, a kid's lunch is still just a kid's lunch.

I dunno, I liked "The Genius Restaurant" (Episode 1,089).

Happy (belated) birthday, Jimjam.

The thing that always gets me about the Cruella movie making it so that her mother was killed by dogs is like...while I've only seen 101 Dalmatians a handful of times, and I've never really cared for it all that much, even as a child I understood that the reason she was so evil wasn't because she specifically hated dogs themselves, but because she was SO dedicated to being fashionable that she was willing to do anything, including killing dogs, if it would elevate her style and make her even more rich and famous.

Making it so she has a reason to hate dalmatians isn't just dumb because it's dumb, it's dumb because it undermines her villainy. The true cruelty at her core is not a driven vendetta, it's in her indifference to the lives of the people and things that get in the way of her desires. She is driven, but not to do harm for harm's sake, to hurt something as revenge for it hurting her, she's driven towards her own goals, and that means causing harm to anything that might stop her. If you turn that indifference to anything that isn't in service of her true desires into targeted hatred it loses it's power, she becomes less evil, not more. The thing that makes her so scary is that she doesn't care about the dogs, if anything she loves the dogs...the way they look, anyway. Their lives, however, are just a bump in the road on the way to her getting whatever she wants. And she'd be exactly as cruel and ruthless if the thing in her way was cats, or a nature reserve, or a rival designer, or a patent. Everything in her way should be made to bend to her will, even if that means murder and destruction, simply for the crime of being in her way.

That's a good villain. She doesn't need a backstory or trauma to be awful, she can just be an awful person who doesn't give a shit who gets hurt if it means she gets what she wants. And tbh given how much the fashion industry hurts people and animals it makes sense that she'd be that way. You could make it a critique of the fast fashion industry or how luxury has always come at the expense of others or capitalism- or well, no, I guess you couldn't, because that might hit a little too close to home there, huh Disney?

Netflix citing the "steep drop off" of viewership on Dead Boy Detectives for its cancellation infuriates me.

You gave us 8 episodes. Netflix, you know how easy it is to binge 8 episodes, you developed the model for binge TV. But instead of 20+ episodes you do 8. Not even 12. Casual viewership won't binge 8 episodes over and over. Of course the show had a steep decline. People watched it all already in a single day. 8 episodes!

This is why I don't like engaging with new media anymore unless it's a video game. It just feels that all the "streaming giants" have become so disconnected and if something isn't a global phenomenon -- it's gone. But you don't even give us enough content to help you make it a global phenomenon anymore.

Whatever.

BELOVED - 1998

[introspectivememories]

"evan, i find you adorable". adorable as in able to be adored. as in capable of being adored. as in i find you worthy of adoration. adorable, from the latin adorare (to worship) to adorabilis (in the sense 'worthy of divine worship') to the current day adorable. as in maybe if we had made it to the movies or if eddie didn't show up, i could've showed you just how much i want to worship you. as in i look at you and there is a font of adoration in my heart for you. adorable as in i flew into a hurricane with you and yet this date is a thousand times more thrilling than that. adorable as in there is a person in your building who saw me jump up and down like a little kid in the lobby after i had kissed you for the first time. adorable as in i kissed you and immediately thought fuck i could do this forever if he lets me. adorable as in i want to press kisses to your birthmark. adorable as in i spent the entirety of the days leading up to our date wondering about you, if you liked your coffee with two sugars or one. if you liked storms or if the lightning strike had put you off on them all together. if you liked cats or dogs or if you were the kind of weirdo who liked goats instead. if you thought about the kiss as often as i did. if your stomach tangled into twisted knots as saturday drew closer. if you would be agreeable to sitting in my lap. if you would blush as prettily as you did the day i kissed you. if your world also realigned when our lips met. if our orbits had matched up now that we flew into a hurricane together. if the gravitational pull between us had finally been too strong for either of us to resist that night in your loft. or maybe, more simply, adorable as in, "evan, i find you adorable."

of all the star wars movies, which of them do y'all 1) enjoy the most 2) consider the best quality and 3) think you've rewatched the most. add your answers in the reblogs or replies, i'm genuinely curious how much of an overlap there is within everyone's three answers. mine don't overlap at all! they're revenge of the sith, empire strikes back, and the force awakens :^)
