Dominican Republic’s 20 most handsome men alive 2020
Al Horford

Geographically, the Dominican Republic is a diverse nation, which is home to the first cathedral, castle, monastery and fortress built in the Americas. The country is the most visited destination in the…

I re-watched Trouble in the Heights and took a bunch of caps because I needed to revisit the American Dream on this dark day in American history.  (The American Dream is to escape a drug lord and move to Philadelphia.  This is the only dream.)
Tumblr media
Commentary within.
This is a Trouble in the Heights live blog.  My second viewing of this film.  Start time 8:30PM Eastern, January 30, 2017
I remember being utterly shocked the first time I watched this movie at how chill it begins.  Needing and wanting are two different things, you guys.  It seems like it is going to be a sobering look at childhood discoveries.
The cheesy cinematography probably could have been done without?  You know??
French toast in Washington Heights.  there are RARE circumstances under which I would put myself through living in New York City, but I rather like Washington Heights.
Javi is literally the cutest fucking kid.  I would protect him with my life.
Ana is pregnant and defying her mother.  This is Trouble waiting to happen.
LMAO NEVADA APPEARS SUDDENLY AND OMINOUSLY; SEEMS FINE; NOTHING OUT OF PLACE ABOUT THIS GUY AT ALL
Javi just wants to be left alone with his book because he is a good boy but Ana is ranting at him while eating pudding.  He can't stand it.
I frankly did not follow the plot of this movie at all the first time I watched it.  I appreciate that Diego is a chef.  All heroes should be chefs.
Javi with dogs montage is the PUREST thing in the world.  Like literally the purest thing.
Here comes Nevada again basically having oral sex with an apple.  Who will think of the children???
Tumblr media
This movie doesn't do a terribly good job of establishing the fact that Javi and his friend stole money from that burned out building or whatever.  I mean.  It's subtle which is good storytelling and all, but maybe a little too subtle.  I feel like they maybe should have shown them finding the money or something?  But I mean.  Okay.
JAVI AND HIS TURTLE!!!!!! #BLESSED
Ana told her mom about her pregnancy which was probably the responsible thing to do.
The diner lady in this movie is fantastic.  An absolute gift.
Javi's friend Robbie is pure sass.  Their machinations about what to do with the money they stole are super realistic and good.
DIEGO PRACTICES GOOD FOOD SAFETY: A SCENE WE NEEDED TO SEE TO ESTABLISH HOW DEEPLY RESPONSIBLE HE IS. he then gets called into his boss's. . .area?  Are we to understand that Diego got a raise or something?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then the immortal scene where Nevada threatens Javi's uncle and then licks cheese of of his fingers.  I can't explain why this is so meaningful to me, and yet.  I apparently didn’t cap the cheese licking part but someone else on Tumblr already did that.  I did get this smile, though.  Which I appreciate.
Tumblr media
Neighborhood gossip that trujillo's warehouse burned down so his supply is gone and so is ALL HIS MONEY.  KIDS STOLE THE MONEY.  Okay, I guess the film does effectively establish what happened.
Cheesy cinematography returns to show how lost and sad Diego is.  Which is perfectly reasonable.
Tumblr media
Javi's friend is so perfect.  "Always wanted some interest."  Seriously let's take a moment to appreciate these two, who are the pure and good reason for this movie, and all us, the Raúl Esparza fangirls, have sullied it with our impure thoughts.
Tumblr media
Javi with dogs.  See.  More pure things.
Javi is a horrible liar.  But he jumps into action in an attempt to save his friend which is a pretty big deal.  Javi is a very good boy.
Can we talk about how Nevada doesn't run?  Like running is beneath him?  And how his non-running must be accompanied by ominous music.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This scene is truly chilling, primarily because of how good that kid is at crying and how Raúl really committed to stroking his face affectionately.  Like.  I kind of want to throw up a little bit.
Tumblr media
TFW you just got your cronies to throw a child off a bridge and you haven't even finished your workday.
Nevada did NOT like having his shoes urinated on.  You could probably frighten him if you cornered him alone by urinating on him.
Also; did Javi see his friend get run over by a train?  Is that what we're supposed to understand?  Because that seems like. a pretty horrible thing to witness.
I appreciate that everyone in the neighborhood is looking out for Javi.This random dude with the van is so good to Javi.
Diego really doesn't have time for this pregnancy stuff tbh.  I like how he's unquestioningly going to go after drug dealers to protect Javi.  I appreciate Diego.  
Javi's understanding of money as a puppy is, again, too good and too pure.  Bless this child.  He also hates drug gangs.  Poor baby.
Smoking hookah in plastic chairs on the street is very Washington Heights based on my limited experience.
There's some class commentary going on about how Diego is ~*upwardly mobile and his childhood friend, who is now a gangster, is more in touch with his roots.  Or something.  Diego is excluded from certain narratives because of his professional status.
Tumblr media
Javi and Ana's mom are a power couple.  Someone should get them a podcast.
Slow Jams with Ana and Diego.  Ana is literally wearing what looks like a members only jacket.
I don't fully understand what's going on in this apartment building scene or who is looking out for who.  I guess they broke into some Area and now they've brought a bunch of old guys to round up THE ENTIRE DRUG GANG.
Cheesy cinematography indicates Diego's moral conflict.  José is also willing to start shit for Javi.  This child is so beloved.
Diego's got like everyone kidnapped and now he has to go to a secret midnight meeting with Nevada.  Seems fine.
"Do you love me?" / "right now or in general?" Ana is my queen.
Personal note; Have I told you about the time I died a violent death?  See:
Tumblr media
"Do you like grouper?"
"Depends on how it's prepared."
Tumblr media
BOUILLABAISSE
Tumblr media
"I hear you're not so good with kids"
Tumblr media
My son is contemplating the use of reclaimed racial slurs in social settings.  His midterm essay received a B+.
Tumblr media
There was a time in my life I thought I'd be able to live in peace before this film.
Tumblr media
I don't even know anymore
Tumblr media
Diego's threat after being told that he and his brother will be working for a Dominican drug lord to save their lives is to menacingly drink water.  Like?  This kid.  I swear.  What a charmer.
you got my guy???
you got my guy.
Tumblr media
I like how Diego is like a believable human being in this scene and Nevada is just like a fucking caricature of himself.
Don't you just love when you remember where you buried your garbage bag full of drug money?
"you wanna know why she hates him?  he cooks better than she does!"  
I love the old dude army they recruited to help with their kidnapping of drug dealers.
Tumblr media
I also love Diego's moral crisis while drinking a beer and eating cheese puffs.
Tumblr media
Did anyone else get a vaguely romantic vibe from the cigar scene between Nevada and his um, dude? henchman?
Everyone loves Diego and Javi because they are perfect angels.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“How did a trash can get into my bodega?” - José, probably
I like how they go to Philly because I live in Philly and maybe Nevada would chase them to Philly and end up stomping around my hood smoking cigars at strange girls.
the moral of the story is that Javi is a very good boy.
Tumblr media
there are no other morals to this story
Fin
eta: this is literally my unedited stream of consciousness while watching this movie, capping, and drinking rye whiskey, i apologize for nothing
