#stranger things favorite movies

[sinclairstarz]

for the cinephile byler truthers. i made the party’s modern au letterboxd accounts

in my head mike wheeler is the film bro cinephile of the party. hes a big brad pitt fan and fincher is his favorite director if you even care.. dirty dancing would be in his top 4 if he was honest. he went to see dune cause hes a scifi nerd, ended up hating it so much and complained about it to will but still gave it 2 stars cause it was pretty. did leave a very mean review. very critical rater but mostly leaves high ratings because he just doesn’t watch things he doesnt wanna see.

alternative movies i considered putting: pulp fiction (5 stars), the killer (1 star), se7en (5 stars), across the spiderverse (5 stars), nope (5 stars) , the batman 2022 (4 stars), once upon a time in hollywood (5 stars), inglorious basterds (5 stars), the matrix (half a star)

the thing is so good and he has a poster of it on his wall in canon so it felt right. it just feels wrong not to do ghostbusters (plus its one of my favorite movies…) and yall need to hear me out on brokeback 😭😭😭 ur telling me he wouldnt bawl his eyes out??? ur wrong. will byers is a jake gyllenhaal lover. he watches dirty dancing a lot for mike, and loves ghibli movies a lot. he cried during rain man. honest rater but doesnt take it too seriously, mostly 4/5 star ratings

alternatives: saltburn (half a star), asteroid city (5 stars), blackkklansman (5 stars), the force awakens (3.5 stars), the perks of being a wallflower (4.5 stars), back to the future (5 stars)

rogue one because lucas has taste. its the best star wars movie, if u care. he would love how fun and goofy ghostbusters 2 is. in my head Wes Anderson is like the party’s claimed director and they all watch his movies together and do marathons because the weirdness, comedy, and emotional commentary is a perfect mix for them. so. bottle rocket. lucas’ favorite wes anderson is the grand budapest hotel if u wanted to know. he rates things pretty highly and isn’t super critical.

alternatives: dodgeball (5 stars), scream 5 (4 stars), the matrix (3 stars), good will hunting (5 stars), jurassic park (5 stars), die hard (5 stars),

likes making lucas watch gone girl on valentines day and telling him shes gonna do that to him next time he annoys her. v for vendetta is her favorite romance movie and shes a big marvel fan (in a cool way. kind of .) but thor ragnarok is probably one of her fav marvels, along with spiderman far from home and iron man. i just know she watches Casino Royale and decided she hated James Bond and then ended up watching all the Daniel Craig Bonds with Mike and loved Skyfall so much. the song is on her playlist and she did cry after No Time To Die.

Alternatives: Superbad (5 stars), baby driver (5 stars), bottoms (5 stars), 10 things i hate about you (3.5 stars), scream (5 stars), kill bill (5 stars), lord of the rings: the return of the king (1.5 stars)

also a bit of a film nerd. i considered giving him a star wars and i know in my heart he’d probably have empire somewhere in his top 4. but star wars is lame and i wanted to give him se7en so he fucking gets se7en. he knows john wick is objectively dumb but he doesnt care hes just here for a good time. the party probably watched saltburn together and all fucking hated it. I just know hes a kurosawa nerd and always goes when the local theatres do very rare special showings of his movies.

alternatives: baby driver (4 stars), the ewok adventure (5 stars) hot fuzz (5 stars) harry potter and the sorcerers stone (4 stars) legally blonde (5 stars) spirited away (5 stars) dazed and confused (5 stars)

she likes movies that make her feel all warm and fuzzy and hopeful. i wanted to give her breakfast club, but i think she’d honestly like sixteen candles more (even though breakfast club’s better). she cried at almost every movie in her top 4 and makes max rewatch juno with her like once a month. she gives most movies 5 stars unless she really hates them, and loves any movie thats fun to watch, even if its bad. she likes movies with pretty girls and fun colors.

alternatives: barbie (5 stars), legally blonde (5 stars), inception (2 stars), heathers (5 stars) pretty in pink (4.5 stars (she was mad andi didn’t end up with ducky)) my neighbor totoro (5 stars)

in conclusion if you haven’t seen They Cloned Tyron (2023) go watch it it deserved the oscar

Two Birds 🐦🐦 (One Stone) 💍  a The Family Stone au COMING THIS DECEMBER!

Steve fed quarters into the old juke box as he leaned over the hulking thing to peer in at the song selection, hips swaying from side to side to the music. It was a mix of old and new, and Steve hummed absently along to the lyrics as he pushed the button to turn the catalog to the next page of songs.  Since I met you baby, love's got a hold on me (Fooled around and fell in love) whoo, it's got a hold on me now, yeah (Fooled around and fell in love) Back in the corner booth of O’Malley’s Pub, Eddie was waiting for him with another round of beers. Steve giggled as he walked unsteadily back, sliding across the cracked vinyl seat until he was perfectly opposite the other man, their legs tangling in the small space under the table. Scattered across its scratched old surface were limes and salt, their sweating pints and several empty shot glasses; Steve ran his fingers through the spilled salt, and over the rough indentation of joined initials long ago etched into the wood, proof of all the others who had come before. Absently, he began to scratch an E, an M. “Can I ask you a question?” he finally said, looking up from the table and into Eddie’s kind face, wide open in a way that most people weren’t. “Of course.” “Do you think I’m a bad person?”

Touch Me Like You Know Me

Rating: T

Summary: Mike doesn't go home anymore, not unless absolutely necessary. Instead, he stays far away from Hawkins, quietly shutting himself off from the world, and burying the pain of the things he never said to the boy he'd left behind. But when his mother convinces him to return home for his thirty-fifth birthday, Mike is finally forced to confront just how much he'd given up when he runs into Will by accident. Mike-centric. Estranged Byler reconnection fic. Soft and Sweet.

COMPLETE

Picking at the paper label of his Budweiser bottle, Mike hunches over the sticky wooden bar, trying to conjure up all the moments, all the years, that have gotten him to this exact moment. He’s not old, not by a long shot, even if he wakes up some days and feels absolutley ancient. Not necessarily in his body. Sure, years spent hunched over a computer writing hasn’t done his back any favors and a hangover knocked him on his ass more than it used to, but that's not it really.

It’s the strange agony that is waking up everyday to do the same thing over again: work the same job, eat the same food, talk to the same people. It’s how if he closes his eyes he’s sixteen again, laying in his basement smoking weed with his friends, how he can still feel the moment the gate was closed for good in the marrow of his bones, or how if he thinks long and hard enough, the image of the heavily lashed eyes of his best friend become so clear and green that it felt more like some vision than a memory.

It’s how Mike can still feel his hand beneath his own when his best friend sat scared and sweating in his room when they were thirteen. It’s all these fucking things, the memories that feel so close he can practically reach out and touch them.

And then at the same time, it's the frightening realization that rushes over him like a tidal wave. In fifteen years he’ll be fifty. He’s floating in this strange halfway point between his childhood and getting older. It seems like he blinked and his teenage years and twenties were gone, like some sort of sick mirage. A blur. Would he blink again and it’d all be over?

okokok if you really do like the room, tell me everything u know about the walter sullivan circumcision theory 🤔 this is the only thing i've ever heard about sh4 i'm so sorry

TEAAA OMFG I HAVENT THOUGHT ABOUT THAT IN LITERAL YEARS LMFAO

hang on im putting all my fave screenshots from the great circumcision hypothesis of 2015 under the cut

"Walter as an innocent boy" next to all the circumcision info KILLS ME

POSSIBLE FORESKIN SYMBOLISM

idk i think symbolically the worm makes more sense as an umbilical cord rather than walter's mutilated penis but i remember someone posting this with the caption "have you seen my foreskin? I've been looking for it everywhere. mostly in the water prison though"

it spilled over to the rest of the silent hill wiki at some point. hope that guy's okay, because he did this to multiple different wikis. i think it was like xenosaga, maybe tomb raider? clearly, he had some stuff to work through re: his circumcision. or maybe we're all wrong and the only problem with walter was his circumcision. idk im open to being wrong if it's funnier.
