Y’all will ship everyone and their mama under the sun with Stiles, and it’s almost always grown ass men with beards 😭 like Scott is right there, Isaac, goddamn Jackson and Danny, but no, the men with beards who have no business getting with him x a kid in high school.

"But this is 18 year old Stiles" do you feel any different on your birthday than you did a couple hours before? I don’t think so. Just because it’s legal doesn’t make it right, as shown by the ages of consent in:

Nigeria: 11

Argentina: 12

Turkey: 15

Trynna strike a chord and it’s probably A MINORRRRR (named Stiles)

So it looks like Liam kept clean until he did the US visa test and then went into a bender.

www thescottishsun co uk/tvandshowbiz/13727992/liam-payne-drugs-supplied-hotel-tests-clean/

"LIAM Payne was plied with drugs supplied by a hotel worker just 24 hours after being told he was clean, cops believe.

Argentine investigators suspect the drugs found in the tragic One Direction star’s Buenos Aires hotel room were sourced in a poverty-stricken neighbourhood 15 miles away.

An address in the city of Lomas de Zamora is said to match up with a man suspected of being involved in supplying the substance, sources say.

Police are investigating two hotel staff in connection with the deals including a cleaner at the CasaSur boutique hotel.

It is believed they hid the drugs in a Dove Soap box which can be seen in pictures inside Liam’s room.

A pal of Liam’s last night told The Sun the star had been given the all-clear on a drugs test last Tuesday - the day before he plunged 45ft to his death from his third-floor balcony at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel.

The pop star had "tried really hard to get clean", the pal claimed before being "preyed upon" by the hotel workers.

They said dad-of-one Liam had entered Argentina on September 30 with the aim of renewing his American visa.

They claim that when Liam spoke to US embassy officials, they queried his previous stints in rehab and said he needed to take a drug test to prove he was clean to have his renewal approved.

They added: “The embassy said Liam needed to do a strict investigation including X-rays and a blood test to search for traces of drugs.

He was examined by a US Embassy-certified doctor and last Tuesday collected his results, which showed he was clean, the friend said."

Yet again blaming service workers as if they spiked his drink or something. He could have refused.

Under-18s should not be pushed into pop stardom, one of the UK’s leading songwriters has said, in the wake of the tragic death of former One Direction star Liam Payne.

As Payne’s father, Geoff, arrived in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to arrange the repatriation of his son’s body, fans were still taking in the news of the 31-year-old’s fall from a third-floor hotel balcony. Many also joined the Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Tweedy, an ex-partner, in decrying the lurid coverage of Payne’s death scene in some news outlets.

Speaking this weekend, Guy Cham­bers, the songwriter and friend of Robbie Williams, has called for the industry to hold back from working with talent under the age of 18. “I do think putting a 16-year-old in an adult world like that is potentially really damaging. Robbie experienced that, certainly,” he told the Observer.

The need for better protection for vulnerable young male pop stars has gained urgency in the aftermath of Payne’s death, prompted by criticism of the music industry’s treatment of the former teenage star, who had spoken of his struggles to find mental stability after his sudden fame as a member of One Direction.

The band was formed on ITV’s The X Factor in 2010, when a 16-year-old Payne came back for a second audition on the talent show and joined up with Harry Styles and fellow members. One of the show’s judges was Tweedy, with whom he later had a child, Bear, who is now seven. Payne had first auditioned for the show aged only 14.

Louis Theroux, executive producer of the upcoming BBC series Boybands Forever has spoken of the perils of “getting everything you dreamed of, and it not being what you imagined”.

Theroux’s new series, which goes out on BBC2 in the middle of next month and was made with his wife, Nancy Strang, will look at both the dramatic highs of gaining instant fame and the contrasting depths of despair it can prompt. With “searingly honest” contributions from Williams, formerly of Take That, and Brian McFadden of Westlife, it focuses on the earlier years of the boyband ­phenomenon in Britain and Ireland, from the 1990s to the late 2000s.

Talking about his year-long work on the show, Theroux said the artists will discuss their “highs and lows” over three episodes that centre “on a generation of young men and their managers, who were wildly successful and also immensely vulnerable, having the times of their lives and, also, in some cases, cracking up.”

Due to the death of Payne, issues the series examines have already prompted leading names in the British music industry to urge action.

Chambers said: “I have four children, so I think about this a lot. I know in Robbie’s case, with Take That, there wasn’t any proper protection set up to look after what were teenage boys. That was a long time ago, but I don’t see much sign of change. There is not much more real care taken, that I have observed, from people involved in the big television talent shows.”

Chambers, who co-wrote the hits Angels and Let Me Entertain You with Williams, believes the entertainment business should set new standards: “I would suggest that people should not be in a boyband until they are 18, and the industry should stick to that, too.”

These worries are echoed by Mike Smith, the former music industry boss at Warner/Chappell, who has also worked at EMI and Columbia. “I am not sure if it is something for ­legislation, but the longer a young person can postpone a career in music the better,” he said.

“Of course, there is nothing wrong with forming a band in your teens, but my admiration goes out to anyone who comes out of an early professional career in good mental shape. I signed a young Irish band called the Strypes once, and I was uncomfortable with the level of responsibility I felt. People are still immature at 16, so the very thought of going through all that madness when you have no idea who you are yet is alarming.”

However, Smith, who has worked with many bands and singers, including Blur, Robbie Williams, Supergrass and Arctic Monkeys, as well as the X Factor winner Matt Cardle, believes there is now much more caution about handling young singers and songwriters.

“When I was at Warners in 2018, we did improve on this. We set up a fund in the contract of our songwriters to cover their mental health care because we were seeing around 25% of them suffering anxiety or depression – and these were not even the frontline pop stars.

“Around that time, the major music companies were all doing similar things to help – taking people on to the payroll to advise the artists and their staff. That wasn’t around early enough for Robbie, I know, but it is better now, partly because we are having the conversations about it.

“I don’t think I really understood it earlier. But what hasn’t changed, of course, is the incredible pressure these young artists are under. Everyone expects you to be living your best life, but then you find you can’t function. People want you to be happy all the time and you are constantly scrutinised.”

Fans were deeply moved during Zayn Malik's recent performance in Wolverhampton, where he paid an emotional tribute to his former One Direction bandmate, Liam Payne. The heartfelt moment occurred on November 29 during Malik's debut headline solo tour. Wolverhampton, Payne’s hometown, served as the backdrop for a deeply personal and touching acknowledgment of his late friend and colleague. At 31, Malik has been enchanting audiences with his first solo tour since he left the globally successful boy band in 2015. He quit the group due to the need to take care of his mental health and have a private life. Malik's return to the stage has been all about powerful performances and raw emotional moments, such as when he sang a tribute to Payne. At The Halls in Wolverhampton, Malik stopped to speak to the audience. "I've been doing something at the end of every show," he said. "It's dedicated to my brother Liam Payne. Rest in peace. I hope you're seeing this. We're in your hometown tonight, Wolverhampton, and this is for you, Liam." The words from him and the weight in his voice were so poignant for so many fans. For all who saw, it stood not only as Malik's sadness but also a testament to how strong a bond remained between former bandmates. Ianthebush, CC BY 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0, via Wikimedia Commons Zayn Malik and Liam Payne were members of the phenomenon that was One Direction, a group created for The X Factor UK in 2010. Along with Harry Styles, Niall Horan, and Louis Tomlinson, they achieved unprecedented global success. Their meteoric rise had chart-topping albums, sold-out stadium tours, and an intense level of fame that very few could truly comprehend. Despite leaving the group in 2015, Malik often talked of the complexities of fame and issues it brought. So also does Payne, being quite forthcoming about his problems within this limelight, from talking issues with mental health and living an always-on life within public vision. Malik's tribute has been an undying testimony of their deep bond as they both went ahead with their life and careers following different paths. It is a poignant reminder of the friendships they had when they were in One Direction, something that no time and distance would tear apart. Tragedy in Buenos Aires On October 16, Liam Payne tragically died when he plunged to his death from the balcony of his third-floor Buenos Aires, Argentina hotel room. Fans and friends were left in shock at such news, with mourning pouring out across the planet. Following Payne's death, Malik delayed his tour so he could come to terms with this loss. After getting back out there, he started closing each show by paying a tribute to Payne. His words and actions stand as a memorial to his friend in ways which deeply resonate with audiences to honor Payne's memory and legacy. Addressing his Wolverhampton show, Malik said, "Rest in peace. I hope you're seeing this." This moment was charged with emotional feel, reflecting not only the pain of his loss but the collective mourning of fans that have grown up watching One Direction grow up. Malik's solo tour, aptly titled Stairway to the Sky, has been a journey not only into his musical evolution but also his personal growth. Having performed in cities such as London, Manchester, and Leeds, it was both artistic triumph and emotional catharsis. Adding Payne's tribute to all the performances, Malik shares that intimacy with fans and makes them feel closer to him. These gestures also display his vulnerability where the fans not just enjoy an artist but see a human being behind the music. For many fans, tributes have become their way of collectively mourning and, in the meantime, celebrating Payne's life. Social media sites are filled with messages of support to Malik, but also pay homage to the memory of Payne. Fans are sharing clips of performances by Malik, with many commenting on the raw emotion in his voice and the heartfelt nature of the words. A Legacy That Lives On While the world mourns the loss of Liam Payne, moments like Malik’s tribute ensure that his legacy lives on. Payne's impact on the music world, his fans, and his former bandmates is undeniable. In Malik's words, "This is for you, Liam," there is deep weight. They are a testament to how the guys in One Direction are sticking together and, more importantly, a reminder of the human aspect that cannot be lost in the glitz and glamour. As Malik moves forward with his tour, these tributes are sure to stay at the very heart of his concerts and performances. Through words and songs, he keeps Payne's memory alive to give his fans a way to celebrate his life and mourn his passing together. This was more so for Wolverhampton, his hometown. It connected him both to his roots and to the fans who had been with him since the start. It was one of those performances that people would never forget—a night full of emotions, music, and memories of a life that had touched so many. Read the full article

Liam Payne, former One Direction member, dead at 31

Payne’s death occurred Wednesday at a hotel on Costa Rica Street in the Palermo neighborhood, according to a statement from police provided to CNN.

Buenos Aires police said that personnel from the 14B Police Station went to the hotel on Wednesday afternoon after receiving a 911 call about an aggressive man who was possibly under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The police’s statement did not identify that person as Payne.

Payne was seen in Argentina attending his former bandmate Niall Horan’s concert on October 2, according to videos posted to social media from the show.

He had recently celebrated his 31st birthday in the UK, according to videos posted to his Snapchat. Payne was born in Wolverhampton, West Midlands and is the youngest of three. He is an alum of the City of Wolverhampton College, where he studied music technology.

Payne was best known as a member of the famed British boyband One Direction. The band, which also included Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Horan, first formed in 2010 after each member appeared on the UK version of reality competition show “The X Factor.”

Movies I watched this Week #119 (Year 3/Week 15):

Victim (1961) is a landmark Neo-Noir about closeted barrister (And actor) Dirk Bogarde, an important moment of queer film history. It helped change public attitudes about homosexuality, which was still illegal in the UK. It’s also a engaging and well-made thriller about blackmail and oppression. 8/10.

🍿 

Azor, my 11th movie from Argentina, was one the best films I’ve seen this year! A tense and subtle thriller, a debut feature by a Swiss filmmaker, it tells of a discreet private banker from Geneva who arrives in Buenos Aires 1980 together with his wife. He needs to reassure his very wealthy clients about the continual services of his bank, as well as to find out what happened to his partner who had disappeared without a trace. The ominous background of the Junta’s dirty war and the lack of any action, makes this an understated study of evil, a masterpiece about the sense of danger. 100% on Rotten Tomatoes - and 10/10 from me.

🍿  

(Returning to my first week of these reviews nearly 2.5 years ago:) The kooky screwball comedy Intolerable Cruelty. Why it is considered a minor Coen Brothers masterpiece when it’s so funny and crisp? With surprising Simon & Garfunkel references sprinkled throughout, goofy characters names (Gus Petch, Rex Rexroth, Freddy Bender and asthmatic hit man Wheezy Joe), a 100% quotable dialogue, and non-stop glamorous and hilarious action, it’s 9/10 again in my book.

“You want tact, call a tactician. You want an ass nailed, you come see Gus Petch”.

🍿   

3 about young women’s sexual awakenings, all by female directors:

🍿 Girl Picture, a frank coming of age Finnish story of 3 late-teen young women looking for love and sex in the city, directed by an experienced female director. But in spite of their explicit talk about blow jobs and the sprinkling of American slang in their everyday speech, it was tedious and banal. 2/10. 

🍿 My Favorite Fabric, my first unexpected film from Syria (!), a patriarchal and unforgiving society. A defiant young woman rents a room in the neighbor's brothel where she can dream about her sexual desires and identity. And all that during the first few months of the frightening uprising of the 2011 Arab Spring.

It would have been just an another exotic coming of age story in an oppressive and harsh milieu, except for her poetic flights of imagination, as she descents into a symbolic world of fantasy. She becomes a witch, a story teller in a reality turning into a nightmare. Grim and depressing - 5/10. 

🍿 From an epic r/truefilm thread about ‘Female Directors’, Take care of my cat, (2001) a masterful coming-of-age Korean debut by the then-young Jeong Jae-eun. A sad and wonderful story about 5 girlfriends from the industrial port city of Incheon who struggle to adjust to life in the cold ‘real’ world after graduating from high-school, while also maintaining the friendships with each other. So that Teetee, the stray kitten which one of them receives as a birthday present at the beginning of the film, move hands from one to the other, as each of their fortunes deteriorate. (Photo Above).

A unique and mature vision, nearly in a New Wave style. 8/10.

Bonus: ‘Air Doll’ Bae Doona plays one of the friends!

I found her second feature, The Aggressives, and will watch it next! 

🍿

First watch: Elia Kazan’s A face in the crowd, the debut performances of both Andy Griffith and Lee Remick. An early critique of celebrity-fueled influencers in American mass media and television, examining the marriage between entertainment and politics. A charismatic drifting bum found in a country jail becomes the populist 'Demagogue in Denim; of the 1950′s. Based on the Father Coughlin’s and Billy Graham’s of the past, and paving the way to loathsome grifters like Reagan, Limbaugh, and donild drumpf. 

🍿  

‘Austin Tucker’ X 2:

🍿 “... What would you say for a cup of coffee? - Baa-aah...

After re-visiting the fantastic ‘Marriage Story’ last week, I wanted to see Two for the road for which it was compared. But this tale of a husband and wife on the edge of divorce aged poorly. Very 60′s, with annoying non-linear flash-backs to 5 French trips, each with another snazzy convertible, and snappy fake dialogue. The fact that Albert Finney alpha-male character was a pompous asshole, didn’t help. Featuring William Daniels in an irritating role. 2/10.

🍿 Another re-watch of The Parallax View, a perennial conspiracy favorite, and one the most paranoiac surveillance thrillers from the 70′s. Post JFK and MLK and Bobby Kennedy and all the many others assassinations of that time. Masterful Gordon Willis style, with the 5-minute brainwashing montage, and the famously eery soundtrack.

I’ll always remember the cautious way Austin Tucker comes to meet Joe from behind the boat, shuffling his feet in the most distinct way... 10/10.

🍿 

3 more re-watches:

🍿 “I wanna smoke a Molly with you”...

Long Shot, another one I keep watching again and again and again, and I wonder why: It’s a sweet rom-com with a perfectly-calibrated first act, most glamorous former babysitter Charlize Theron who falls for a a guy who’s definitely below her pay grade, and who drinks refrigerated Tequila from a ziplock bag, and a great Boyz II Men sound. But really why?

(Also, Bob Odenkirk’s POTUS here is just a clown). 10/10.

🍿 My first and only by Kevin Smith, Zack and Miri Make a Porno (actually the second, after the 2021 bio-documentary ‘Clerk’). In which we first had to tolerate the thought of Seth Rogen in a (non-masturbatory) sexual role. He just doesn’t seem the romantic lead type. So funny or not, you have to coat it with as much crudeness and porn jokes as possible. Also the 3rd act was just too too obvious. 3/10.

🍿 “Hey Look! It's Enrico Pallazzo!”

John Houseman's final film, The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! still a goofy slapstick spoof. Also with the star of ‘O.J.: Made in America’, "Weird Al" Yankovic, Pahpshmir, and Elvis’s wife.

🍿  

After the glowing Vox review (”The best Netflix show in recent memory”), and because I’m an Ali Wong fan, I binged on her new Road Rage series Beef. But there were very few moments there that didn’t disappoint: her masturbating with the gun, her hot sex with Steven Yuen’s young brother, and the last episode where they ingest hallucinogenic elderberries and bond with each other. The rest should have been cut into a 2 hour movie. 2/10.

🍿 

Money Shot: The Pornhub Story, the new documentary about Mindgeek, the Canadian porn conglomerate. Like all Netflix products is was shallow and unoriginal, but still highlighted issues of privacy, consent and free speech. It gave way too much time to far-right, evangelical organizations (Like NCOSE, MIM) which hate all sex and try to ban porn all together “..The attacks on pornography is an attack on sexuality, women...” 4/10. 

🍿   

From my favorite editor/director Kogonada: Wes Anderson likes overhead shots, Tarantino prefers to peer up from below, Aronofsky uses sharp sounds, and Kubrick often uses one-point perspective - Kubrick // One-Point Perspective

🍿   

The Big Bus, an obscure, forgotten disaster parody, supposedly a dumb comedy spoof, but unlike ‘Airplane’ and ‘Top secret’, utterly unfunny. 1/10.

🍿 

And 2 I couldn’t finish:

🍿 ‘True Lies’ and ‘The Bourne Identity’ are some of my few favorite action movies, so I thought that Mr. & Mrs. Smith, which Doug Liman did after ‘Bourne would compare. It’s strange that only 20-30 years later, most regular Hollywood movies from that time are unwatchable. And not only because Vince Vaughan was in it.

🍿 Focus, a “sophisticated” action “comedy” with conman Will Smith and grifter Margot Robbie, which tries to be smart, slick and fast, and ends up being shallow and boring.

🍿 

(My complete movie list is here)

Hi! I’ve found an interesting detail in relation to your storm-oriented posts. I’ve looked up the origin of the word “storm” and Wikipedia says it came from the word that means “noise, tumult.”

There are many noises in ST, like screeching, growling, cracking, chirping etc, but also El needs noise when she goes into the void. Static noise.

It is also called “snow” in the UK and “lluvia” (which means “rain”) in Argentina. x

In s1 Mike hears static cracking on TV while asking his parents for 20 more minutes; Will hears growling noises behind before being attacked; Joyce hears both static and growling noises as Will contacts her through the phone; static cracking when El makes a contact with Will through Mike’s walkie-talkie.

In s2 Will hears growling noises in the UD and tells Mike about “noise coming from everyone.”

yes! thank you for this… like i said i haven’t been really analyzing the motifs i’m compiling bc in my head they’re all somehow related to each other and that absolutely includes the static/snow on all the video tapes and electrical equipment as well as the “snow” (dust, spores, whatever it is) in the upside down. something about the “source” being in the eye of a storm, “your friends in hawkins are very much in the eye of the storm” and the power grids and electromagnetic energy related to gates and the upside down and powers, the storm surrounding the mindflayer in s2, and the source in s3, and vecna’s mindscape, and “brainstorming”…. there’s so much going on i don’t even know what to do with it
