Have you seen The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec? :0

7 Comfort Movies

tagged by @foibles-fables, thank you buddy!!! <3

oh dear oh boy.. this is gonna be a real weird mix, y'all. here goes..

(in mostly alphabetical order bc that's how they're organised in my comfort films shelf, which also includes the Resident Evil series as well as all things related to Alien and Cube, and also American Mary fuck yeah ..bc I'm a weirdo)

Adult Life Skills. makes me cry. every time. without exceptions. but in like a good way. gotta have a little smidge of Jodie Whittaker on this list, too.

Annihilation. duh. obviously. so good. definitely a good distraction from anything else going on in my life. plus so much stuff to think about. (one day I will read the book this is based on. I stg)

Beyond the Ashes / Ash Tuesday. just so wonderful. I know the topic it deals with is pretty heavy, but it's about healing and coming together. and the power of poetry in crisis and the power of music and giant goth/punk boots. do recommend a watch. originally I used to only watch this via dailymotion bc I was in a Pauley Perrette phase, but it grew on me, with me, whatever you wanna call it, so I eventually caved and had to have an imported disc version for safety purposes, to keep close to my heart.

Dredd. what can I say, I just love some messed up future stuff. and Lena Headey. and it's just well made. love it. so good. 11/10. will watch again and again and again. (as with the rest of this list)

Edge of Tomorrow. again, with the messed up future stuff. add some time travel and Emily Blunt as an action badass, and of course I was sold. plus it helps that Tom Cruise keeps getting smushed like a bug. always a plus.

Sunshine Cleaning. hoo boy, I have cried. and cried. and cried. (sometimes I still cry over the lack of fanfic for Norah and Lynn. they are wonderful and I wish there was more of them. plus Norah is def a character I can hella relate to.) something about complicated, messy familial relationships will always get me. even if they are sisters and I only have a brother, it still hits hard. and the scene with the car radio, and the other scene with the sprinkler just fucking wreck me. (if you know you know) also The Decemberists' The Crane Wife 3 in the trailer, good lord. fuck me up

The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec. (the funny thing is that I have the DVD but I have never once watched it, bc it's in German and the only alternative on the disc is to watch the original French with German subtitles, and I'm just too used to watching the French with English subtitles version that I downloaded at some point.) anyway, Pterosaur set free in Paris, a goofy detective and a sillier big game hunter, a sister trying to bring her sister back to life, a talking mummy. just sheer wonderfulness, but will also probably make you cry if you are at all affected by, once again, complicated sibling relationships.

I shall tag @nerdsbianhokie @tjerra14 @aimofdestiny @melsunicornonesie @verbose-vespertine @shadowkira @damnwormholes

(as always: feel free to ignore this if you don't feel like it)

[alegocarmadein]

weird self harm but not in a suicidal way but in a chronic pain-y way warning and injury uh talking

So when I was like...7, my dad watched this movie that I only recently searched and found out it was real and not just a weird dream.

It's called The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec

and APPARENTLY there's fucking monsters in it????? But I don't remember that

All I remember is the scene where the protag's sister is playing tennis, and her hatpin falls out of her hat as she's falling backwards and it goes through her head and sticks out the front of her forehead and it's a god awful image still implanted in my head

But everytime I have a migraine or headache (and I have them constantly) I just get the urge to seek out a hatpin and rearrange some shit.

Like it FEELS like if I really got in there with a hat pin, I could like....flick the lever that gives me headaches.

Ughghgh

My Excedrin is NOT WORKING LIKE IT SHOULD.

The last song I listened to : Speed Drive - Charli XCX (still haven't watched the movie. I have excuses like the near-by cinema getting water damage). Listened a lot to Seven - Jungkook (the explicit version ofc). Hoping I'm not falling again in my ARMY era....

Currently watching : Just watched The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec and hated it. We hate Besson anyways.

Currently reading : Finished Pride and Prejudice not so long ago (I think ?) I'm literally obsessed and need to see all the adaptations....

Currently reading playing : OMG STARDEW VALLEY IN IV.. Playing with my little guidebook.. How nerdy !

Current obsession : lol Pride and Prejudice... or Stardew ? Ngl, my seasonal job is exhausting me out lmao, not a lot of time for obsessing sadly.....

The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec (2010)  Dir. Luc Besson

[remedialreviews]

It may be a little hokey, but it’s also charmingly silly, and Adèle is a superbly compelling central character, as dry, yet sweet, as her name suggests. The film is quick, funny, and daft---a winning combination as steered by Bourgoin’s protagonist.
