claim your “I was a Lewis Pullman fan before Thunderbolts” ticket here! (in case he blows up in popularity any more than he might have after things like TGM and Lessons in Chemistry…)

He Just Flipped the Switch 🥵🔥

me after hearing Lewis Pullman say “spit it out” in The Starling Girl:

[princezzleia]

Dream of You

(Lewis Pullman’s Version)

He's a bad dancer

He's a right answer

He's a shy singer

Most of the time, that's just him and I

He's an over-thinker

He's a slow kisser

A confessed sinner

All of the time when it's him and I

All I do, the whole day through, is dream of you

the story is so sad, but lewis in this movie did something to me...

[lewinblue]

I know we don’t really talk about The Starling Girl because of how triggering the character that Lewis plays in that is.

However, that is honestly one of my favorite performances from him. It reminded me slightly of The Devil All The Time (maybe that has to do with Eliza?) and he was just so convincing. Like, the whole time I knew I shouldn’t fall for the hot young preacher but he’s charming and I did and it’s easy to put yourself in Jemma’s shoes.

Anyways, it’s actually a good movie and Lewis is really good in it and if you can handle the contents it’s definitely a movie that you should watch.

Okay, so... I'm going to say something that will probably be VERY controversial, but it's just been boinging around in my head non stop since I re-watched The Starling Girl AGAIN, last night...

So, mostly everyone says that Owen was bad, and wrong, and... whatever else. I... won't get into my views on THAT, but...what I WILL SAY...

As an atheist, who grew up mostly Christian (luckily not to THAT extreme extent?!), the REAL villain - the actual evil, here - is religious repression, and the damage it can do. Those almost unbearably strict fucking "rules," and just...ALL of it. Watching The Starling Girl, all of THOSE scenes were actually the ones that made me squirm and want to break out in hives. Everything between Owen and Jem...well, no, that... didn't make me uncomfortable at all.

So...yes, just wanted to throw this out there.

Please don't fucking burn me at the stake?!? 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

[remusbutfemale]

I watched the starling girl.

And I’m so confused, WHAT DID JEM DO AT THE END OF THE MOVIE???? DID THEY END UP GOING??? DID SHE GO BACK???

“It’s up to your interpretation” FUCK THAT TELL ME IT STRAIGHT

god I sat in silence for like 20 minutes, thinking over the whole movie JESUS that’s was definitely something!!!!

[sebsxphia]

It scares you, the first time you realise there is nothing you wouldn't do for Tyler Owens. So instead of facing your fear, you ride hi-...it!

-💚

yeah! you ride it! the tornado! (and him. you ride him until you cry and you’re nothing sweating and gasping for air.) i’m so excited to watch it! 🥹💌

[madsmax13]

I did it… I watched The Starling Girl… 😭

Ya know when ya know his character is doing something wrong but you’re just so in love with the man who plays him that you’re like ‘I would 100% do that with him’??

because that’s how I’m feeling, my brain is just like ‘he was in love, he knew what he was doing’. but anyway, I thought the movie was pretty good and I wish my roommate would have let me watch it by myself

[jellybelle]

Just finished The Starling Girl. Never have I ever wanted to beat a sad man’s ass so bad.

[theoraekenslover]

I know Owen is supposed to be the bad guy, and he is (I guess)… I have major issues and also IT’S LEWIS!!

You know you and your Tumblr bestie are close when you relate the same Taylor Swift song to the movie you just watched. For those of you who watched or are planning to watch The Starling Girl, listen to “Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve” by Taylor Swift. It perfectly encapsulates Jem and Owen’s tumultuous relationship👀 @bradshawsbaby
