BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH | Letters Live at Wilderness Festival (August 5)

women getting revenge on their lying, cheating, pieces of shit husbands gotta be my favourite genre of movies.

[weak-hero]

yes i'd like to see jenna coleman get away with murder

[untimelyambition]

if i had a nickel for every time i’ve spent an entire tv show wishing jenna coleman’s character would just kill her husband i’d have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

Ben wearing shorts and boots is my favorite thing!

He is so cute with that outfit 😍

That… tried to say a lot of things about gender dynamics and feminism and none of it really worked. It was, IMO, sort of an inferior “realistic” Gone Girl. Except there was an actual murder in this story.

Jenna needs her a BAFTA though. Listen, I love Clara but she’s more than just Clara Oswald. Such an underrated talent she is.

The Barbie movie looks AMAZING and I'm down for whatever it is they are planning to release into the world. It's campy. It's kitsch. It's earnest. It's pink. IT'S PERFECT. And the only thing that would make it even more perfect would be a post-credits scene where it's revealed that the whole plot was play-acted by an 8-year old child playing with their dolls.

Just watched the Wonka movie.

I enjoyed it as a standalone film but especially enjoyed it as a prequel to the Gene Wilder Wonka. It retroactively made Wider’s Willy so much more tragic.

And that’s because Chalamet’s younger, earnest and kind Willy Wonka is CONSTANTLY having his kindness and compassion and belief in the good intentions of others thrown back at his face almost. Every. Single. Time.

What happens to him, in no particular order: People take advantage of him when he is at his lowest; they sabotage his chocolate; Hugh Grant steal his chocolate and beats him with a frying pan; he is nearly drowned by the chief of police; a boat he’s in is rigged to explode; they try to drown him AGAIN but now in melted chocolate under a church; he is tricked into debt and forced into indentured servitude; the chocolate mafia wants him dead; he has to crawl in the sewers just to sell his chocolate without the police beating the shit out of him at the chocolate mafia’s command, and a bunch of other moments either his earnest nature (or the fact he is illiterate, because by the way he is illiterate) is taken advantage of.

But he keeps believing in the good of others. He has friends, and a pseudo daughter that taught him how to read and his mother’s memory and so many dreams…

And then we arrive at Wilder Wonka. Who was betrayed one too many times. Who had his recipes stolen from him. Who shut himself from the world and trusts no one.

Who doesn’t care for these spoiled people walking around his factory, even if they were his last attempt at proving to himself that good people, good kids (Like Noodle) still exist.

Who is alone.

TL;DR: seeing a young Wonka who is so optimistic knowing how he is going to end up after being betrayed over and over and over again is a emotional experience that I was not quite ready for.
