Got my friends to watch Luca with me and successfully made two 32 year old men cry

[carry-on-every-neverland-magic]

Society of the Snow was absolutely breathtaking, poignant, terrifying, beautiful and ultimately inspiring.

[savemysoulmyartsucks]

”Roomies with Garmadon” is an absolute banger. And no, I do not take criticism

[variberry]

thinking about:

that one part in Finale at the 1 minute 57 second mark

Husk’s super low verse “new lights across the marquee”

holy shit Keith David did not have to go so hard on that verse

and right after that, the low/high harmony with Husk and Charlie/Vaggie on “sorcery” leads directly into the Vox/Val duet section of the song

ARE YOU KIDDING ME

ITS SO PERFECT

help its so hard listening to this song in public bc it always makes me cry but this part goes fucking CRAZY

it just hits different

[orange-coloredsky-archive]

to make a comparison for my falloutheads who maybe dont know anything abt ffvii:

advent children is to final fantasy seven what the fallout: brotherhood of steel game for the ps2 is to the rest of fallout. completely unnecessary. disgustingly 2004. panned by critics and fans alike. 3d animation that has aged like soft cheese in a hot car. and its my favorite thing ever to exist ever for all eternity

me: i watch succession for the plot

the plot:

[itoshi-s]

rinnie baby i'm sorry but. bachira rly did steal ur spotlight for a lil yesterday

[vampfiire]

so i'm coming out of my hiatus for a minute to say that i'm blown away at season 2 of heartstopper! idk how this show could've gotten any better but it did.

[proudfreakmetarusonikku]

there are many bad things you can say about pokemon scvi but the ost is the best we’ve had since gen 5 (the final boss song legit sounds like a cut bw2 track istg) and it’s wonderful. gen 6-8 had a phenomenal soundtrack too, don’t get me wrong, but the 2d games soundtrack was on another level and while Gen 9 isn’t QUITE there yet it definitely feels like a return to those days where every song had to have a super unique melody bc you didn’t have many instruments.

[capriszn]

just came home after watching across the spiderverse and my life will never be the same actually

[lunetual]

the thing about goblin is that it has the most insane soundtrack any drama ever has had or ever will have again. not a single miss. every single love theme a genuine tearjerker. i don’t think any ost will ever replicate the feeling i will go to you like the first snow gave me while watching

[amielnitrate]

i miss mr. robot so much...watching that show as a kid fucked me up for the better

[timbourinedrake]

Justice for the Birds of Prey soundtrack,,,,, you should've made a billion dollars

[investingestincest]

just finished buddy daddies and ive never cried so hard in my life. don't nobody dare talk or even look at me. you'll just see a puddle of tears

[ozzgin]

wtf HOW WAS ROMULUS OZZIE Hello??????? I CANT WAIT TO WATCH ITRTR i miss david 8 tho 😓😓 “you finger and i blow” ok gorgeous whatever you say

Ok ok, I let it sit overnight so I could formulate a less feral opinion. I'll do my best to be objective, though you should keep in mind that I'm very biased when it comes to the Alien franchise.

Alien: Romulus First Impressions

Plot. The movie takes place between Alien (1979) and Aliens (1986). If you've seen the old Alien movies, you will notice it follows the same formula: somewhat slow beginning, a grand reveal, a lot of high-stake escape attempts, shady android behavior, and the classic, speedy succession of plot twists where you think you're safe, only to be surprised the very next moment.

While this movie is meant to behave more like the pre-2000 releases, it does bring some novel elements, which, in my opinion, helped build its own authenticity. Additionally - and without spoiling you - it will involve its own Xenomorph variation. Fantastic idea, and I cannot believe it hasn't been done earlier.

The cast is a group of orphaned youngsters who want to escape their space mining colony. You're introduced to a dystopian, grimy world of overworked humans who've never seen the light of the sun. The main character, Rain, is accompanied by her "brother", Andy, an android programmed to take care of her after the death of her parents. Here's another aspect I enjoyed: an anxious, imperfect android who seems to display an emotional bond with his human.

Rain's friends discover a shipwreck which may contain enough sleeping pods to take them away from these unbearable conditions. Their plan is to sneak in, take the pods, and speed away to a more humane station while in cryosleep. The twist? It's not just any regular ship. They have stepped into the Romulus and Remus research station, operated by Weyland-Yutani, and haunted by yet another failed attempt to contain the Xenomorph horrors.

Characters. Let me tell you, this was a breath of fresh air. Prometheus and Covenant have left me rather skeptical when it comes to a competent cast, yet from the ashes of pathetic military personnel rose a bunch of kids who are built for survival. Rain reminded me so much of Ripley - extremely intelligent, efficient, and strong. Her friends are equally brave in the face of disaster. This was a 10/10 cast, and I'm so glad they finally found the balance between being terrified and still navigating the situation without catastrophic mistakes.

Visuals. The imagery was an absolute treat. They seamlessly combined modern special effects with throwback, retro detailing. The futuristic equipment and locations reminded me a lot of Alien: Isolation. Upon further research, it seems that the director was indeed inspired by the game! It made everything so nostalgic and immersive. The Xenomorph design was flawless as usual, involving a lot of body horror.

Audio. I am desperately waiting for the album to be released on Spotify, because the soundtracks were amazing. The music was composed by Benjamin Wallfisch, who seems to have rather big movie titles under his belt, such as It, and It: Chapter Two. Safe to say this man knows how to instil terror in you. They made sure to incorporate some of the classic pieces, then expanded on that. The alert beats reminded me of Covenant, while other tracks provided their own take on the story. The intro of the movie is aided by dissonant chanting in the background, hinting at the ancient, religious imagery used for the Xenomorphs.

Conclusion. Overall, I'd say this is a must-watch for any Alien fan. It is a tribute to the classic movies, but it still offers a brand-new take to the Alien Universe. The movie had some moments of complete silence - staying true to the "In space, no one can hear you scream" quote - and everyone in the cinema held their breaths. It will keep you on your toes.
