#nfs 2015

[iiep-wop]

For those who haven't seen them already, films I REALLY recommend watching right now:

All of the Night at the Museum trilogy:

Found family, magical object, half homeless man just trying to make ends meet, magic object gets stolen every bloody time

Trust me on this one, you'll like it if you enjoy silly hijinks and visual enjoyment. Larry becomes a night guard at a museum and discovers that everything in it comes to life at night, he just has to make sure that everything doesn't go to chaos. It's got a tiny gay cowboy and roman too which is pretty neat I would say.

Bill (2015) :

Shakespeare (but not one of his plays), comedy, insanely quotable, multi rolling

Written by and starring the cast of Horrible Histories and Ghosts, this is such an underrated and hilarious film. It's about a Catholic plot against Liz 1, and a failing Shakespeare. I'm not selling it very well but trust me, it's amazing, I almost know the whole script off by heart I've seen it so many times.

Hot Fuzz:

Policemen, Gore + violence, Comedy

As a review I once read eloquently said "Like Zootropolis but less furry and more gay", about a dedicated police officer who gets moved to a quiet Gloucestershire village, only to find that there is a string of murders happening. Also he is so in love with his police officer friend it's actually insane. It is fairly gory but other than that, it's insanely quotable and absolutely hilarious again.

Tô muito chateada… eu engordei pra caramba. Já tem uns 2 meses mais ou menos que parei de fazer nf pq meus exames deram vários problemas de saúde pq não estava comendo o suficiente. Resolvi me alimentar bem, mesmo que em pouca quantidade ainda, mas passei a fazer as refeições nos horários certos e dar preferência a coisas saudáveis. Os exames de sangue mostraram melhora significativa, porém eu já engordei bastante.

Quando eu engordei no período de 2015 a 2022 pelo menos eu tinha mesmo motivos, passei a comer muito por causa das medicações que inibia a saciedade e realmente comecei ter péssimos hábitos alimentares. Tanto que em 2022 quando resolvi esses dois problemas eu comecei emagrecer rápido. Mas agora eu não sei o que está acontecendo… parece até que tô dando desculpas, mas juro que não tô. Não como muito e nem como besteira com frequência… por que estou engordando desse jeito?

PLEASE expand on your thoughts for muppets abc i would love to hear them /nf /gen /pos

Okay for some reason I didn’t get notified for this ask so sorry it’s a bit late!

But YES thx for the opportunity to rant ab this show

Pros

I actually am a big fan of muppets abc. I’ll get into the cons later but I like the style of humor the show has (for the most part), I like when the muppets have more of an adult spin where it’s not like family guy humor but it’s a little more mature than most muppet projects. The modern muppets have been so heavily targeted toward children in many projects that it’s nice to see them recognize that a lot of modern muppets fans are adults (not that adults can’t like children’s humor, I for sure do, but y’know).

Also I really like a lot of the people they chose as guests for the show, and I honestly like the sitcom style following the muppets backstage of a show. I think it’s a good modernization of the original muppet show premise that allows it to focus less on skits and more on characters. Also normally I despise social media plot lines but I actually like the way this show handles pulling the muppets into the digital age, which is crucial for such a timeless property.

Also, as many problems as there are for muppets fans, it’s a really good show to watch with people who casually enjoy the muppets. This show’s style is more to the taste of some of my family members so I like watching it with them. And separate from the muppet’s characterizations the comedy is really good (but that’s subjective so I can see how it rubs some people the wrong way).

Cons

For one the cliffhanger ending kills me. Even if this show was weirdly received it had a really short run, they could’ve used a few more episodes or another season so we didn’t get left on such an annoying cliffhanger (that left Kermit and piggy still officially broken up since the show didn’t continue long enough for them to get back together).

Ok let me get into characters now, because that’s a criticism that I think is 100% valid (though I also think few people other than jerry juhl have properly understood the muppets and not flanderized their characters in some way)(but yeah it’s really bad here).

Scooter!!

How they’ve massacred my boy!

We’ll get to piggy but scooter is the one I’m most upset about. Why? Why change him from nepo baby humor to haha nerd comedy?? It was 2015 man we love making fun of nepo babies and rich people nowadays why would they change the character whose gimmick gets funnier with age?

His characterization feels pulled from the Big Bang theory. All his comedy is just “virgin nerd” comedy. I love that the show tried giving him more screen time than other projects but they fumbled the bag. He was a spoiled teenager who was wild and fun and could get away with anything because his uncle was rich. I get he’s older now but I refuse to think aging did this to him.

Because I’m a nerd I’m gonna pull some quotes about scooter from the new Richard hunt biography bc that man understood his characters.

“Like Hunt, Scooter is a born performer. Scooter also resembles Hunt in his amiable disposition and his almost nonchalant acceptance of the other characters and their quirks.”

“This acceptance stems from his own quiet confidence in himself… happily amusing himself and the people around him.”

“‘Scooter is a perpetual kid and very comfortable with who he is,’ said Hunt.”

HMMMM? CONFIDENCE? A PERFORMER? COMFORTABLE WITH WHO HE IS?

abc scooter just gives off such anxious vibes it really makes him feel like he’s lost the part of himself that made him so much like Richard Hunt.

Piggy

Ughhh she’s just not fun to watch for the most part in this show. I like the idea of her being the star of the show this time around, reminds me of her unexpected rise to fan-favorite muppet soon after Oz took over her character.

I also really like her friendship with deadly. I think miss piggy so often is boiled down to her love for Kermit that I really love the idea of having her explore platonic bonds. Her looking so hard for happiness in romantic relationships but eventually realizing that deadly is the one who’s been by her side, that he’s her friend and that she really loves him for sticking by her is a really sweet arc (for both of them. Love platonic piggy relationships and I like the modern fashion designer vibe they’ve been doing with deadly, I think it’s a fun reimagining of his original character).

But her diva meter really is pushed up to eleven.

Not to pull more from the Richard hunt bio, but Oz describes piggy as “The tough woman underneath the coyness. And the fact that she had to be coy to get things the way she wanted them, like most women at that time.”

Piggy is from humble beginnings and understands how she needs to act to get people to feel a certain way about her. She also won’t take shit from anybody, though. She knows her worth and knows she’s worked hard to get here, but it also was such an uphill battle to stardom for her I just refuse to believe she would become so selfish and act so privileged the way she does in the show.

ABC piggy doesn’t feel like a girl who tries to be coy but knows to be tough when she needs to be. ABC piggy is mean. She has a thin temper and everyone is scared of her and she’s so removed from the non-famous life that she has trouble bonding with people. She only does community service for publicity and can barely manage to do any manual labor. She’s not tough. She’s angry. She’s short-tempered and violent. And she has no trace of her humble roots, that gratefulness for the position of fame she’s in that she holds in so many other roles.

Others

Sam is pretty creepy. I love his gag of being the censorship for the show, him popping up saying “can’t say that” is a nice little nod to him trying to control the chaos of the original show and his little conservative speech sketches. His crush on Janice is kinda odd tho. I like him getting more modern spotlight, I really like his character in most wanted (though a rewatch of that is needed haven’t seen it in a while). But yeah he’s kinda weird here.

Also why were gonzo and Camilla broken up. Disagree. Idc about your relationship drama they’re the muppets otp.

Uhh trying to think off the top of my head, it’s been a few months since my rewatch of the show. I don’t like the mayhem fight. I think teeth and Floyd fighting over Janice is weird and off for them in modern day. Respect Janice rejecting labels, go off Queen.

Conclusion/TLDR

I had more to say than I realized but I don’t want to make too long of a post. Tldr, I really like the show and it’s humor but it does feel divorced from “the muppets” as a pre-established franchise and characters. The characterization is bad, even though I appreciate them trying to give more screen time to some lesser used characters, it didn’t really work. I just think it had a lot of potential, and I like the idea of a more adult but still family oriented muppet show, but the execution was really hit or miss.

Refer to my previous post about it for more condensed thoughts, weird show all around lol

Also stan abc Big Mean Carl. Stole the show, 10/10

quick question whos will wood is he a part of tally hall

not so quick answer, no will wood is not a part of tally hall. will wood is one of my special interests. theres a large overlap of people who listen to both of them

will wood makes music in a bunch of different genres, he doesnt strictly stick to one. hes been in a bunch of different bands, including but not limited to

will wood and the tapeworms (now just will wood) often shortened to wwattw

a verbal equinox

jamface

stereosexuals

jamface

will wood and the pirates (i might be misrememberring that one though)

i havent listened to all his albums yet, but i love what ive heard (Everything Is A Lot 2015, SELF-ish 2016, the normal album 2020). im not gonna name his entire discography though

his earlier tapeworms stuff was way more high energy loud chaotic while his newer stuff ("in case i make it" 2022, camp here & there: campfire songs edition 2021) is way calmer and more personal. the normal album (I LOVE THIS ALBUM) is like the middle

he wrote all the music for camp here & there

he doesnt remeber 2012 cus he took too much lsd

his song titles are usually really long. he likes to make people google stuff

songs, i really like are:

Everything Is Alot (WWATTW)

Skeleton Appreciation Day in Vestal, NY (Bones)

Cover This Song (A Little Bit Mine

Chemical Overreation / Compound Fracture

Destroy To Enjoy

SELF-iSH (WWATTW) this is my favourite tapeworm album

Cotards Solution (Anatta, Dukkha, Anicca)

Mr. Capgras Encounters a Secondhand Vanity: Tulpamancer's Prosopagnosia/Pareidolia (As Direct Result of Trauma to the Fusiform Gyrus)

Dr. Sunshine is Dead

The Normal Album (Will Wood) this is my favourite will wokd album

Suburbia Overture / Greetings from Mary Bell Township! / (Vampire) Culture / Love Me, Normally

2econd 2ight 2eer

...well, better than the alternative

Love, Me Normally

Mimento Mori: The Most Important Thing in the World

i havent fully listened to camp here & there but I LOVE YES TO ERR IS HUMAN SO DONT BE ONE SO SO SO SO SO MUCHHH

hopefully this was a nice introduction to will wood

btw i recomemd checking imrpov slam poerty with will wood on youtube its only 8 minutes. i keep saying this but i really love it its SO SO SO FUNNY (/nf obv its ok if u dont) i cant recomend it enough

and finally

i found this really cool film chart on reddit and thought I'd fill it out!!

(I'm not sure who the original creator is as lots of people have used the template)

as the photo quality is quite bad, here's the list of the films i put on the chart (and some of my opinions/explanations):

favourite film of all time: the perks of being a wallflower (2012)

best script: good will hunting (1997)

favourite poster: fear and loathing in las vegas (1998)

"I'll watch it someday": the godfather (1972) (i WILL get around to watching this i promise)

big personal impact: speak (2004)

best long movie (3hrs+): schindler's list (1993)

you like, but everyone hates: lords of chaos (2018) (okay okay it's bad as it's not very accurate but AS A FILM I think it's good - i like the atmosphere and characters but it definitely shouldn't be treated as a documentary)

you hate, but everyone likes: glass onion (2022) (I'm sorry but i hated this so much lmao)

underrated: on the count of three (2021) (idk if this is underrated but i don't really see people talk about it much. big TW though as it's about su!cide)

overrated: la la land (2016) (honestly i do need to watch this again and tbh idk if it's overrated, i just had nothing else to put in this spot)

"why do i like this?": the babysitter (2017) (okay fine, the only reason why i like this film is because of samara weaving. she's hot okay?)

great soundtrack: how to train your dragon (2010) (all 3 films have great soundtracks but the first one is the most memorable for me)

that cinematography...: 1917 (2019)

bad day cure: bridesmaids (2011)

favourite protagonist: mrs doubtfire (1993)

favourite trilogy/series: the hunger games (2012) (not including the ballad of songbirds & snakes as i don't like that one as much as the first 4)

biggest letdown: downsizing (2017) (i expected it to be at least okay and it was so bad i couldn't even watch the whole thing)

biggest surprise: the little prince (2015) (i only watched it because it popped up on netflix. let's just say i cried so much i couldn't even see the ending of the movie /pos)

"not the best but having fun": house of wax (2005)

criminally overlooked: the crow (1994) (i don't see many people talking about this and i think people forget the actual plot and why eric draven is going after all those people. it's actually quite sad but SO good)

depressing movie: requiem for a dream (2000) (i found it so hard to pick my favourite depressing movie as i love sad stuff so much but this film is just, a lot? like ugh it's depressing and I'll never forget that ending. watching this should be considered a form of self hárm /j)

favourite active director: fight club (1999) - david fincher (idk if he's still 'active' but i think his most recent film came out last year?)

favourite animated movie: coraline (2009)

"not usually my thing but...": all quiet on the western front (2022) (war movies aren't usually my thing but this was really good)

PLEASE read/look at this it took forever😭😭 /nf/lh

Haii!! Was wondering what NVLD meant in your intro? Nf to answer, I was just curious :3

I know you told me to disregard this ask, but I thought I'd put some information here anyway:

An introduction to NVLD (tumblr post)

Wikipedia (for some basic info)

Child Mind Institute (focuses on NVLD/NLD in children)

Diagnostic criteria analysis from Child Neuropsychology (published in 2013, pdf)

What I Want You to Know About Nonverbal Learning Disorder (blog post, again focuses on children)

My Life With Nonverbal Learning Disability (blog post by a late-diagnosed adult, from 2015 so might be somewhat outdated)

And here's a post I did comparing and contrasting NVLD and Autism

Feel free to ask more questions if you have any. I like to educate about my disorder since it is not very well known or understood.

This disorder is sometimes also called developmental visual-spatial (processing) disorder, or DVS(P)D.

Book Review: Out of Africa, Isak Dinesen

My Review in a Tweet:

I'm not drawn to Non-Fiction, but this autobiographic tale, while a bit slow, captivated me. The fourth part is jarring because it's a random collage of stories; the rest of the narration was great, coming back and forth in her memories until the moment she leaves the continent.

My Full Review:

Trying to diversify my readings, I picked up again this book I got as a Christmas present back in 2015 but never managed to finish. I'm not entirely sure this book qualifies as Non-Fiction, since it's still very poetic in the way the author describes her years in her coffee plantation at the foot of the Ngong Hills, but I describe it as NF because it is an autobiographic narration of a period of her life.

I still had to drag myself a little through some parts of the book, but that's not on Isak Dinesen (or more accurately, on Karen Blixen, her real name), it's on me and the genres I usually read being quite different from this. The book itself is structured into five parts, each of them separated into smaller chapters.

Even then, I enjoyed this book: Dinesen/Blixen has an artistic soul and a taste for the beauty in the world that makes her descriptions and tales really outstanding and marvelous, giving the reader a careful and joyful glimpse into the Africa of the early years of the 20th Century. The love she distills for her farm and the workers that come and go in her life, while sometimes might sound "problematic" from our modern set of values, makes you ache when tragedies and setbacks occur.

I wish the expression "abanico cultural" (cultural fan, as in the accesory for the hot days) existed in English, because that's what this book opens in front of you: a range of cultural and sometimes religious ways of being human, with just a tinge of the author's bias, and even when she's more openly judgemental of the ways of the masai and the other tribes, she still sees the beauty and wonder of their lifestyles.

The final part of the book, when she describes how all the problems of the farm start to pile up and she has to sell and leave Africa, really makes you feel sorry for her, hoping that fate will smile to her and turn the downtrend of her coffee productivity. When she finally leaves, it's like waking up from a pleasant dream of a sweet memory, and you are left with that bittersweet taste of longing.

7.5/10

Favorite Fictional Character: not really obsessed with any fictional character, but like there's quite a few I enjoy talking about. I mostly like characters that I get to make up my own background lore. Hence why I like Mass Effect and Dragon Age!

Favorite Artist/Band: oh geez, I've actually found new favorites!! But in general: Sleeping At Last, Twenty One Pilots, Bastille, and new ones like Henrik, Hans Williams, NF— there's just too many, if anyone wants to know more of my favorites, ask me for recommendations and I'll make you a playlist specifically for you!

Why Did I Choose my URL: it's a spelled backwards version to "colorless". This world [or maybe it's my mental illness (?)], is always trying to make me feel hopeless, cold, bleak, and.. colorless. This constant struggle I'm always trying to rip apart from me. so yeah.

Minha mãe tem c.a. E pesa uma média de 130, 140kg. Desde criança eu tinha um corpo perfeito, não era magérrima, mas gostava do meu corpo. Pesava 58kg, gordura muito bem distribuída, não comia muito, nunca tive compulsão. Mas desde muito nova ouço minha mãe me dizer que eu tinha que emagrecer mais, que eu ia ficar igual a ela, que eu tinha uns 4 ou 5 kg acima do peso, etc… Sempre me refreava se me visse comendo um chocolate (e eu não era de exagerar, era um prestígio só ou um chokito). Enfim, cresci ouvindo que era gorda e precisava emagrecer mesmo não sendo verdade. Isso nunca me afetou até eu engordar de verdade. Em 2015 comecei tomar dois anti depressivos que abriam muito meu apetite. Eu não me sentia saciada por nada que comia, era uma fome avassaladora. Engordei 40kg em três anos. Cheguei a pesar quase 106kg. Isso foi o meu maior gatilho pra começar acreditar nas palavras tóxicas da minha mãe. Agora já emagreci quase 30kg, depois que parei com o anti depressivo e voltei a fazer atividade física e me alimentar melhor. Mas estou obcecada por emagrecimento. Não sinto prazer e satisfação em comer. Sabe aquela sensação de paz quando vc come uma coisa que gosta? Eu não sinto mais isso. Tenho nojo de comida, raiva, medo e culpa sempre que como, mesmo sendo algo saudável. Tenho tanto medo de a fome me controlar de novo, de eu desenvolver uma compulsão. A Ana me ajuda muito nisso, sempre que me vem um receio de me descontrolar de novo eu começo um nf e a contar calorias, então me acalmo de novo. Essa é minha realidade!
