The only Grinch worth watching.
And the Grinch with his Grinch feet ice-cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling. "How could it be so? It came without ribbons, it came without tags, it came without packages, boxes or bags." He puzzled, and puzzled until his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. "Maybe Christmas," he thought, "perhaps, means a little bit more."
HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS (1966) dir. Chuck Jones

Since Dune is trending. Just friendly reminder that the book was heavily inspired by Middle Eastern culture. And the fact that there is a lack of MENA actors in major roles in the movie is something that should be talked about.
#feel free to correct me if there are more MENA people than I thought#I haven't seen the movies#or read the book#but I do know that was a problem in the first movie#people need to stop acting like all brown people are interchangeable#dune#dune part 2#MENA#middle east

i will never be more mad about anything than the fact that netflix didn't include the little "please" Mr Darcy breathes during proposal #1 in the subtitles because i DID NOT catch that shit until i saw a tiktok about it and i believe that is a felony

I need to kiss major major til he’s hard and whining my name and begging for me to touch him-
Have I watched the show? No, but it's Lew, so wholeheartedly agree. I just want to see those ears and cheeks and chest flush pink, and have him all whiny for me. That's all I ask.
Usually it's MBB that's horny on main, but tonight, it's just me.
#pike tag#answered#lew musings#because i haven't seen catch 22#or read the book#which feels blasphemous considering i sell it customers regularly#anyway i'm ranting again#ignore me pls#mail

bingewatching will never come close to bingereading. there is nothing like blocking out the entire Earth for ten hours to read a book in one sitting no food no water no shower no bra and emerging at the end with no idea what time it is or where you are, a dried-up prune that's sensitive to light and loud noises because you've been in your room in the dark reading by the glow of a single LED. it's like coming back after a three-month vacation in another dimension and now you have to go downstairs and make dinner. absolutely transcendental

I firmly believe that some stories can never be translated into a different medium and that's okay

I can behave normally around books
#shitpost#anyway guess who brought home 24 new books today?#if you guessed me. well. you would be correct#in my defense I only bought 5#for a combined total of usd#where’d the number go. it was 17 usd#the rest were from me going through what my dad was getting rid of for space and claiming it for myself#but either way#24 in one day is a personal record I think#also I do fully intend to read all of these it’s not hoarding for hoardings sake

You gotta read and watch some old books and films that aren’t 100% modern politically correct. I’m not saying you should agree with everything in them but you need to learn where genres came from to understand what those genres are doing today and where media deconstructing old tropes is coming from.
Also, more often than you might think, they’re not actually promoting bigotry so much as “didn’t consider all the implications of something” or just used words that were polite then but considered offensive now.
Kill the censor in your head.
#the redwall glorifying site can sure be squeamish about books with no more problematic premises#if you’re asking what’s wrong with redwall it’s the good/evil species essentialism and the one book that doubles down on it#but like you still read it if you want to write animals having cozy adventures so you’re not ignorant of half your own genre
