How I think the DS9 characters would have reacted to Ezri’s zhian’tara, with no rhyme or reason as to why, I just thought it would be fun, a lil treat

Sisko: Super enthusiastic and excited about talking to Jadzia again, may tell Curzon not to be such a douchenozzle, and also maybe he shouldn’t volunteer for murder hobo again

Kira: Would love to see her girlfriend best friend Jadzia again for gossiping and holosuite fun times as much as Kira would never admit she enjoys holosuites, also wants to say sorry about the whole dying in the temple thing (not a great look for the Prophets)

Ezri: Wants to know what the fuck those letters are and why they’re arranged in that order, holy shit she did not sign up for multiple personalities and voices in her head much less for them to possess the bodies of the living, what fresh hell is this

Odo: I can haz Curzon again?

Julian: A little too eager to ask Jadzia exactly what Ezri meant when she said, “If Worf hadn’t come along, it would’ve been you.”

Miles: Totally chill about everything, Tobin would be fine with him, just leave his nails alone maybe.

Worf: Ambivalent because while he loves Jadzia and would want to talk to her, he also knows she is being honored in Sto’vo’kor as a magnificent warrior who died an honorable death, and it is not his place to disrupt that.

Garak: Volunteers for murder hobo.

Quark: Won’t volunteer for embodiment after Jadzia tricked him into being Audrid, but also wants to win back the latinum Ezri said he owed her.

Leeta: Will volunteer to do flippy flips again :)

New Fiction 2023 - February

"Psalms" (101-150) ed. Richard Challoner (1752)

I’ll be honest, I just read Proverbs and now it blends in completely with whatever Psalms had going on. What I do remember of Psalms is realizing that a lot of what the ol’ Father is preaching at the pulpit is one-liners from this section of the bible.

Abyss by David Weddle & Jeffrey Lang (2001)

These DS9 novels spend a lot of time with Bashir and Dax as a couple, working out their couple stuff. I suppose they’re really the only couple available in these early releases of the relaunch, but I hope we get to see other perspectives on romantic relationships. But otherwise, it’s a neat and tidy little adventure, and I like the scenes in which a Jem’Hadar ally has to observe these weird humans and basically ask them “what the hell are you doing?”

"The Hole in the Wall" by Angela Hsieh (2022)

The hand in a hole! It’s great.

Men in Black: The Game dev. Gigawatt Studios & The Collective (1998)

Whoof. I mean, WHOOF. I would’ve been in for a survival horror game featuring the Men in Black, but then there’s awkward quips because it’s a comedy, and unnecessary action gameplay.

The Game of Life dev. Mass Media & The Collective (1998)

This was shockingly fun. A board game made into a video game could be so clunky and boring but this really felt like a neat way to play, as dated as the visual are by now.

"An Ostrich Told Me the World Is Fake and I Think I Believe It" dir. Lachlan Pendragon (2022)

This is so clever and well done.

"The Flying Sailor" dir. Amanda Forbis & Wendy Tilby (2022)

Oh no, but somehow it has a happy ending.

"Ice Merchants" dir. João Gonzalez (2022)

This is sweet and I only cried a little.

"The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse" dir. Peter Baynton & Charlie Mackesy (2022)

So blaaaannnnd but it’s really good looking.

"My Year of Dicks" dir. Sara Gunnarsdóttir (2022)

Hey, she makes lists like I make lists.

"Ivalu" dir. Anders Walter & Pipaluk K. Jørgensen (2022)

I don’t know why we allow ourselves to succumb to the basest horrors.

"Night Ride (Nattrikken)" dir. Eirik Tveiten (2020)

So fuckin’ tense, holy shit. Just know it turns out okay.

"Le Pupille" dir. Alice Rohrwacher (2022)

This was a riot.

"The Red Suitcase" dir. Cyrus Neshvad (2022)

Another tense one!

"An Irish Goodbye" dir. Tom Berkeley & Ross White (2022)

It’s not easy, all I’m saying.

Groundhog Day dir. Harold Ramis (1993)

Finally watched this in a theater! On groundhog day! That’s how I wanna watch all date-specific movies from now on. It’s so wild that this is likely the origin of the modern time loop narrative.

Infinity Pool dir. Brandon Cronenberg (2023)

Jesus Christ, it just kinda goes on, getting more and more awful. But the final scenes bring it home for me.

80 for Brady dir. Kyle Marvin (2023)

This is so quaint in that “we don’t see movies like these in theaters” sorta way.

Magic Mike dir. Steven Soderbergh (2012)

Mike’s dream is so wholesome, he deserves it.

Living dir. Oliver Hermanus (2022)

I liked this. It reminds us that you can’t save the world, but you can help someone next to you.

Magic Mike XXL dir. Gregory Jacobs (2015)

This was just the victory lap after the success of the first. One more round.

She Came from the Woods dir. Erik Bloomquist (2022)

I see these smaller horror movies release to theaters every now and then. It fills a genre niche between larger mass audience stuff, but this particular was just a little undercooked. The Fear Street trilogy did it better.

Magic Mike's Last Dance dir. Steven Soderbergh (2023)

Sad to say, even the expected big dance number at the end doesn’t save it.

Knock at the Cabin dir. M. Night Shyamalan (2023)

I kept feeling bad for Shyamalan. The weight of expectation for him must be immense. But I came in with that expectation of something that would surprise me and this movie does not deliver on that front.

Sword Art Online the Movie -Progressive- Scherzo of Deep Night dir. Ayako Kono (2023)

Holy shit! Anime movies is another random thing to pop up in theaters and sometimes they’re a bit too convoluted or reliant on their main series to explain things, but the premise of “we’re stuck in a video game and need to fight a boss” really makes this work. Loved that final boss battle.

Consecration dir. Christopher Smith (2023)

Another quaint sort of slow burn horror release that doesn’t get to theaters as often these days. It doesn’t stick but it was interesting to watch.

Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey dir. Rhys Waterfield (2023)

Great effects and staging, awful otherwise. One of those that might please those who are in it for the gore.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania dir. Peyton Reed (2023)

Jonathan Majors, that is all.

Johnny Mnemonic dir. Robert Longo (1995)

It was cool 90s cyberpunk but did you know there’s a black & white take on it?!

Virtuosity dir. Brett Leonard (1995)

Kind of a dystopian sci-fi take on Se7en.

Jesus Revolution dir. Jon Erwin & Brent McCorkle (2023)

I was real afraid that this would be a pro-Christianity all the time kinda movie, but there’s enough nuance there in depicting real people that I think it’s worth watching as a historical snapshot.

Cocaine Bear dir. Elizabeth Banks (2023)

Absolutely yes, let’s fuckin’ go. This is made to be seen in a theater.

Gattaca dir. Andrew Niccol (1997)

More somber and lowkey than I expected. It felt like a high budget episode of The Twilight Zone.

Strange Days dir. Kathryn Bigelow (1995)

Another whoof for rich white people trying to translate the experiences of real socioeconomic and racial problems in Los Angeles of the 90s (and today). But fun in a nostalgic “look what they thought the future would be” kinda way.

Kissed dir. Lynne Stopkewich (1996)

Molly Parker makes anything she’s in worth watching, even necrophilia.

Richard III dir. Richard Loncraine (1995)

Catching up on more Shakespeare that I’ve missed over the years. This one’s a real good way to translate this old timey kingdom stuff.

Eye for an Eye dir. John Schlesinger (1996)

Guh, I really thought there might be some attempt to comment on the perils of seeking revenge, but nope, let’s just fucking murder assholes who do wrong against us.

The Outer Limits - Seasons 4-6 (1998-2000)

So much Outer Limits, it’s hard to encapsulate as I approach the end of it. All I’ll say is that “Down to Earth” from season 6 has me tearing up because most of it is a satire about weirdo X-Files fans but then the main character’s motivation to just connect with someone, anyone who will believe her and allow her to express her loss and just listen makes the ending so tragic and gah this is absolutely in my list of TV that will shape who I am as a person.

[rebelqueero]

What if Rami Malek played Julian Bashir?

Damn I scared myself with the idea of a DS9 remake and now I can't let go of that thought. It would be so wonderful and so potentially bad.

[starlightervarda]

Thank you or what you said about Black Adam. There are multiple paths into an international/Hollywood career. A superhero movie is a valid one. Some of the complaining feels a little performative or like concern trolling. Maybe Marwan chose to audition for Sabbac. Maybe he likes comic book movies or maybe it is what is. It's a smart move, maybe even a shortcut. Maybe both will be mena. Marwan has already accomplished a lot & will continue to. Change has to start somewhere & he's a part of it.

Hi!

Yes, exactly!

I’m really, really tired of the performative complaints or concern-trolling, like you said. Really, a lot of the ‘concern’ about non-white people’s choices tends to be condescending and infantilising, like...Marwan is almost 40 yrs old.

He is a grown-ass man, he knows what he wants and what he’s doing, and this role in a mainstream movie with an in-built fanbase opens doors not just for him but anyone that looks like him. In the past few years Marwan, Rami Malek, Saïd Taghmaoui, Mena Massoud, (and Mo Salah in football) have put MENA men on the map. Before them I can only think of Alexander Siddig (Bashir from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) and Tony Shalhoub (Monk & Galaxy Quest), and before them was just Omar Sharif, who was in Lawrence of Arabia & Doctor Zhivago.

MENA actors should not be confined to playing sources of White Guilt or Western Fear. We deserve to see ourselves in Fantasy and Sci-Fi properties, that have nothing to do with religious or political conflict - just like everyone else.

Like I said before, Rami Malek being a Bond villain is cause for excitement, and Navid Negahban as the Shadow King in Legion was amazing (check it out if you like Wandavision!)

The idea that villains should only be played by Brits/WASPs (and Mark Strong) is tedious and worn-out. Refusing to cast brown actors as villains is how the fuck we ended up with Benedict Cumberbatch playing Khan in Star Trek into Darkness.

Marwan had fun playing Hot Jafar, and he’ll have fun hamming it up as a DC villain.

In other MENA superhero news, Mohamed Diab is directing Moon Knight for Disney+ and May Calamawi is playing a main character *fingers crossed*

[thegleeacademy]

do you have mw fc or characters?

More or less. I do have a preference for the Glee fcs that haven't erased their existences by being problematic just because I want more canon characters and I like the vibe of the dash feeling like it used to back when we were all so in love with the Glee cast. But I am, of course, open to other fcs for twins and welcoming to OCs. I'll go ahead and list the open spots in families, canon and twin. Open twins listed are OCs and can have any fc you want as long as they match ethnicity:

Artie Abrams (canon fc is Kevin McHale but I’m a fan of George Robinson, an actor that’s actually in a wheelchair)

2 fraternal twins to Ambrose Eliot-Abrams (Sean Berdy fc, he is the only Sean Berdy fc), step brother to Artie, this is a dramatic family that isn’t always loving

Blaine Anderson (Darren Criss fc) and a twin, as well as Cooper Anderson (Matt Bomer fc) and 2 older Andertwins to Cooper

Hunter Clarington (Nolan Gerard Funk fc) with 2 twins, and Campbell Clarington (Kaya Scoldelario fc) is in need of two twins for the half siblings to Hunter

David Karofsky (Max Adler fc) has two twins

Keith Mathews (Robert Sheehan fc) has two open twins but also specifically has a sister connection

Mason and Madison (Billy Lewis Jr fc and Laura Dreyfuss fc) have a twin open, if you want a very close family

Jake Puckerman (Jacob Artist fc) and a Puckeran twin are open, as well as all three of the older Puckerman triplets

Jeff Sterling (Riker Lynch fc) is open

I’ll list specific fcs that I’d like to see around to add some diversity to the masterlist too: Skylar Kergil, Ryan Cassata, Elliot Fletcher, Elliot Page, Chaz Bono, Tom Phelan, Daniel Durant, Ryan Lane, RJ Mitte, John Boyega, Avan Jogia, Dev Patel, Rami Malek, Sean Teale, Luka Sabbat, Boun Noppanut Guntachai, Miyavi, Manny Jacinto, Alberto Rosende, and Bashir Aziz.

And I would personally love to see: Mike Chang, Artie Abrams, Jeff Sterling, Hunter Clarington, Blaine Anderson, Jake Puckerman, Jesse St. James, Brody Weston, Roderick Meeks, Sam Evans, Adam Crawford, and Cooper Anderson.

31 July 2020: King Abdullah II, accompanied by Crown Prince Hussein, honoured national institutions and individuals for their distinguished efforts that bolstered Jordan’s capabilities to counter coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

At a ceremony held on the first day of Eid Al Adha, the Muslim feast marking the end of the pilgrimage season, the honourees received medals in recognition of their efforts. (Source: Petra)\

Las películas más esperadas en la cuarentena

Algunos de los estrenos que más ansiamos en este año cargado de  conflictos en el mundo audiovisual.
