One of my favorite photos of some of my favorite people ever.

Vincent Price, Boris Karloff, Basil Rathbone, and Peter Lorre during a lunch break behind the scenes of The Comedy of Terrors (1963)

“This is the way films should be—fun all the way through. The wonderful thing about those old horror movies I did with Boris Karloff, Peter Lorre and Basil Rathbone was the way we’d all sit around and scream among ourselves as we planned how we’d give the audience their kicks.” —Vincent Price

In my Saltmarsh game with my brother,

his character has all but agreed to attend the grand end-of-the-year ball in the city.

DO YOU KNOW THE MATERIAL THIS GIVES ME TO WORK WITH?

#Allllll the dramatic possibilities! All the comedy! Allllll the social structures and relationships! My brother and I actually took ballroom #dancing lessons growing up though most of the dances we went to were in gyms. But we both have that point of reference to work with #and he also enjoys historical dramas sometimes so we've got that too.#You better believe I am curating the playlists for that scene song by song. Ordinarily I just spur of the moment find a random soundtracky #playlist on Spotify that sounds like it will suit the mood. But I am going to handcraft at least three playlists for this session so that n #matter what direction the story takes it will be the atmosphere I'm going for.#OOOOHH and my brother's character has an old sweetheart in his backstory who has not even been mentioned in this campaign so far #Could it be possible she's also going to this dance?#But more to the point I do not care what happens - Anders - my fav npc - absolutely needs to make it to this event because #I need all my favourite things in this scene.#ghosts of saltmarsh

Very tempted to rewrite The Haunted Mansion 2003 story to satisfy my gothic romance craving

#watched the film again and was hit with the memory of me at 11yrs old wanting mr gracey and sara to be together #11yr old me was so real for that tho cuz i still want them together #that scene in the ballroom where he's begging her to remember as the ghosts are dancing around them 😩#THAT was pure cinema 🤌🏻#was the movie good? no.#but i had a good time and that's all that matters #if it were up to me i would make sara the main protagonist and just erase her husband and kids entirely #make her venture through all the things they did in the film #less of the over the top disney comedy #and heavy on the gothic romance #with a touch of self discovery/courage/standing up for oneself on sara's part #oh yeah it's all coming together #the haunted mansion #the haunted mansion 2003 #sara evers #elizabeth henshaw #master gracey #edward gracey #marsha thomason #nathaniel parker

I love old color photos

Especially of Jer

Also, the "I WANT TO SNUGGLE HIM SO BADLY" energy of that sweater is killing me...

if i had a nickel for every time a male british comedian i like said that on a childhood birthday a patriarch in their family said they were too old to hug and kiss them bc it's girly/gay i would have two nickels???? which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice....

(ade edmondson:)

(jon richardson:)

I went to kiss my granddad once-I would have only been about 7 or 8, but I'd had clearly what my grandad viewed as a landmark birthday. I went to say goodbye, and I kissed my Nana Gwen and went to kiss my Grandad Ron, and Grandad Ron said, "You're a man now. You don't kiss other men anymore." (- meet the richardsons 2.08)

ok fr last one but there's actually a bootleg of my school's anastasia and i'm linking it bc you all NEED to understand that my infatuation with this one girl's voice which started when i was in the 6th grade and still hasn't really worn off isn't based on nothing

#brielle's the one in the n95 mask (the video is too grainy to actually make out any of the ensemble's faces but she stands out)#and i'm the in my 'teenage tboy's diy first short haircut' era in every scene she's in #apart from everything abt the girl who plays anya. the tea on everyone else is that our director liked the boy who played gleb's voice so #much that she actually lowered some if not all of his parts to be in his range. the guy who played vlad was a total diva and uhm. the phras #'peaked in high school' has been tossed around at him a lot. and the fact that he came back to sub the year after he graduated isn't helpin #his case. also he pressured the girl who played anya's grandmother into wearing old age makeup + spray her hair grey bc he decided he was #going to wear it and since she's supposed to be older than him she had to too and used to waltz into the girls' changing room whenever he #wanted. everyone was like super shocked during auditions though bc we all thought he was a shoe-in for dimitry esp since seniors get #priority casting bc it's their last chance. but at callbacks (we had singing auditions via video and dance auditions in person and callback #were tacked on to the dance auditions) he kinda flubbed his song and then this freshman. who was with us via google meet bc he literally ha #covid at the time absolutely blew him out of the water and i remember walking away w brielle like 'holy shit [first name] [last name] just #lost a part to a freshman' (he's the kind of person you just have to full name otherwise it sounds wrong). that said i do think he made a #much better vlad then he would've made a dimitry and while he is. a lot. he's always been nice to me and i did briefly idolize him and his #stage presence way i did anya's singing voice but that faded when i got into hs and started actually observing his prima donna ways #(the one production we were in together before in middle school we didn't have any scenes together). the girl who played the grandma #actually shouted me out in cast circle and that's the only time that's ever happened to me. also i'm p sure her dad is/was dating someone m #dad and by extension myself work with so that's. Oh My God. like she (the one who works for my dad) brought him w her to a comedy show as i #think her bf but i'm not 100% sure and when he found out what school i went to he mentioned his daughter went there and despite the fact #that i basically have a script for when people ask me that question bc i do NOT pay attention to most of my fellow students and don't know #anyone i was like 'holy shit' bc i actually did. hm what else. the guy who played the tsar and i used to shittalk bad period dramas #backstage during the first part of act 2. also during the press conference scene i need you to picture all the bolshevik soldiers and #romanov royals doing the macarena behind the curtain bc that was absolutely what we were doing back there. speaking of the press conference #the really high singing w/o a clear source was actually anya standing behind the curtain on the other side of the stage bc she's the only #one who physically could sing the part. also in regards to the bolshevik soldiers. we were originally supposed to have wooden rifles but fo #some reason our director took them out so we had to just walk menacingly towards the romanovs. you can't rlly see me that well in that scen #but that jacket would NOT stay closed and for 2/3 performances i had to awkwardly hold it closed the entire time. luckily the one that was #filmed was the one where i was smart enough to bring safety pins and also saved like all of the ballerinas bc their costumes all started #falling apart at once backstage.#romeo.txt #theatreposting

the board members of a multi billion dollar company watching 3 grown children of the former CEO fighting through a glass room as one of them yells "i'm the eldest boy" over and over again

#this scene was SO heartbreaking but i love the show always walking the very very fine line between tragedy and comedy #like...the board members were all just waiting there like 😐#it's just the juxtaposition between some old rich people in their like 4th meeting of the day and #meanwhile one room over 3 siblings are experiencing the most cataclysmic moment of their lives even tho their dad died like a week ago #succession #hbo succession #queerasian.txt

I was watching How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days with some friends recently and of course a big part of the plot is that the female lead intentionally annoys the guy she’s dating to try to get him to break up with her. So she’s being very annoying.

And one of my friends said, “I don’t like this movie, I find her annoying.” And I was like, “Yeah, that’s the point,” and my friend was like, “No, when she’s being annoying, I don’t find it funny, I find it annoying. Like it annoys me.”

And I realized that this friend lives in some alternate universe where she doesn’t find every romcom annoying rather than funny, where being annoyed isn’t like the price you pay to watch a romcom. Like this person finds romcoms funny instead of largely tedious but sometimes worth it for the romance. And I was like, wow, we inhabit totally different worlds.

#m.txt #haven’t made a good old fashioned ‘I hate comedy’ post in a while #like I do not know if it is the autism or what but quite a lot of comedy feels extremely grating rather than funny #and the romcoms I like I sit through torturous scenes of comedy bc I think the couples are cute
