actually this is gonna sound like the most basic thing ever but my no.1 spot for favourite marine creature go to sharks. specifically whale sharks because they look so.. waah.. also orcas fit in their too (I know they're dolphins but let me have this please).

speaking of dolphins hahaha! they do not sit right with me... I'd like to look at them from a distance but god I'd never get close to one. i don't hate them but.. there's something off about them 😔

unfortunately, I'm ashamed to say i that don't store alot of facts into my head, it's always empty.. so I don't have any fun whale shark or orca facts. however! i just found out that whale sharks actually have teeth.. my dumbass did not know that 💔

other things.. uh.. special mention to my octopuses and sea slugs out there, they're so adorable.. especially sea bunnies!!

btw I'm the no.1 sacabambaspis hater thank god that thing is extinct. i do not care how silly they look from different angles, that one image has ruined everything for me. I see that thing in my nightmares.

also yes!! i love oc interactions so go ahead <3!! toss him around too if you'd like

Variety: ‘ER’ and ‘The Pitt’ Star Noah Wyle Plays Operation except it’s just him messing with this glasses

[aardvaark]

thank you! and according to other responses in the notes, it's not just a one-off. lol i wonder if the showrunners don't mind how sophie/gina bellman says it, or if it's just that no one noticed during filming and then they decided to let it be a continued thing. personally if i met a tara who pronounced their name as "tare-uh", i'd call them "tare-uh" instead of "tuh-ruh", just because i feel like at that point they sound like two different names entirely, you know? but im going to pretend that sophie's failure to say tare-uh is now her & tara's inside joke and tuh-ruh basically counts as a nickname.

trying to think of any time that sophie has actually said "tara" out loud because i want to know if she says it the way the other (usamerican) characters say it (like tare-uh), or if she says it the british/aus/kiwi way (like tuh-ruh). anyone know? anyway, watching the grand complication job was funny because i totally forgot that i pronounce her name wrong in my head! its hard to self-correct when she's not, like, a main character, she's only there occasionally, so i see her name in writing or think it more than i ever hear it out loud.

Carter gets a great bit of comedic business in the brief but memorable scene in the pilot involving a young teen mother, played by Shiri Appleby, where she doesn’t know she has an ectopic pregnancy and won’t even acknowledge she’s pregnant. That is, until Dr. Benton comes in and Carter has this “Oh, so you’ll tell him?!” reaction. How was that scene to shoot?

I will cop to being an extremely ambitious young actor who would try to steal a scene out from underneath everybody in the room as subtly but as consistently as possible — and the fewer lines they wrote for me, the more chances I'd have to do it because then I could just go crazy on reactions. I could mouth their dialogue. I could pretend I didn't understand what was happening. I could take notes. I could do anything. I love setting myself up for a fall. That's my favorite kind of comedy.

And then this scene in particular, I just remember setting myself up by being just dismayed that she wouldn't fucking tell me the information, but she would tell him. I remember the very first introduction for [Carter]. I'm standing there at that desk, and that bell was on the other side of the desk. I thought to myself, “Oh, man, if I move that bell, and I do a little bit with it, that'll be such a great accidental introduction.” So I worked that in early, and then I just kept looking for those moments wherever I could find them because they're so endearing.

That scene really helps solidify the beginnings of the Benton-Carter relationship, which is one of the best mentor-mentee relationships on television.

Best love story ever recorded on TV. Benton and Carter is the primary romance on that show — the one I'm most proud of. Where else have you ever seen a relationship where the power dynamic, racially, was completely flipped 180? And the white guy was working at level for the love and approval of the Black man? Eriq always did exceptional work. But he always played the character that wasn't easy to always love because he wouldn't play him with any sympathy. He would just play him as a talented, intelligent, uncompromising man. And that stance that he took, in both the character and his own professional demeanor, was not easy for us to recognize or appreciate at first.

Only in retrospect do I realize that he was on the vanguard of giving representation to something that was really nonexistent at the time. I think he deserves a lot more credit for creating that kind of character, and giving that character to the world, than he ever received because he never got a trophy or anything for it. It was not an easy thing for him to do.

Shawn (and Gus) of the Dead

First of all, that is a perfect title.

Now, this episode is one of my favorites of season 2. Its so funny, its such a fun concept, and the ending is fantastic! The crime is so elaborate though its kind of insane. To summarize, this guy killed his dad by pistol whipping him down the stairs. The gun gets willed to the museum. Lassie is gung-ho about solving it because its a big name and he’s getting lots of press. This guy, who’s on the board of the museum, apparently having tried everything to get the guns except appeal to their sentiment, then decides to bribe the warehouse guy into hiding him in a snufflophagus, tilts the camera (though apparently him walking out of the coffin wasn’t caught??) so you can’t see him at the case, fails to open that same case, kills the guard, goes back for the van, apparently sees gus and shawn tailing him and books it, even though he doesn’t know who they are, crashes the van into a tree for some reason, puts the mummy in the drivers seat (lol), then runs into the forest like a madman. This guy had to have been on cocaine or something. I’d love to hear him explain to the other prisoners how he got caught.

Carlton was kind of an ass to sophie for no reason. Like i get that he thought the case was beneath him, that he was eager to return to the homicide, but considering she knew Wyles, you’d think he’d have at least treated her like a witness instead of completely disregarding her (and being pretty misogynistic)

But kudos to juliet for standing up for her. One of the things that irritated me sometimes about juliet and carlton was when they’d have her apologize for his behavior- but i love when she stands up to him. I’m not a big fan of the idea that a person can “fix” another person (its too long to explain right now), which is what i think juliet did, or at least, helped him face his own behavior throughout the series. I don’t think its fair to juliet to be placed in that position, though. It honestly feels like she’s babysitting him sometimes.

Heres a few scattered notes:

Two things: 1. How dare wardrobe make this poor woman wear these peep toe high heels. They look so uncomfortable. 2. I had to point out Shawns shirt because it made me realize that i do in fact, still find James completely huggable haha. I bet he gives amazing hugs.

Impressed by Dulé’s run here haha

James, i swear to god. He does not waste a single goddamn frame lol

The fact that gus keeps sniffing women, makes me believe his attraction to them is heavily scent based haha its so creepy.

This moment feels like the writers roasting both james and shawn simultaneously haha

This might be an unpopular take on this, but Shawn helping Karen get the job seems like a really thoughtful thing to do for her, and the way they shot the scene with her looking at him appreciatively certainly makes it look so, but if im honest, i think it had more to do with self preservation. Shawn has a good thing going. Im sure part of it was because he liked karen, shawn is a genuinely nice person, i just don’t think its the main reason. (Sidenote: i think its so cute how excited Gus is about it though)

Now for the Henry of it all.

I love how close henry came to having a nice moment with little shawn and then absolutely blowing it. I think that sums up his parenting pretty well haha like he means well, but he just sucks at it.

I think its so interesting that Maddie returning makes him so flustered. He doesn’t hold any anger or resentment towards her, he’s not biting at Shawn because he hates her, he’s nervous. He’s cleaning the house because he wants to impress her. I have to believe this is the first time she’s going to be seeing him since she ran off. Which is kind of sad because they share a kid together. They’d didn’t once have a family Christmas since then?

What i don’t understand, is how she managed to contact henry before shawn. They’re divorced. I know shawns phone broke, but is she really calling so infrequently that it never came up? Im going to discuss maddie more next season when we actually meet her. Right now she’s more myth than anything.

Which really helped make the season 2 cliffhanger so freaking potent! Its so simple, and yet the tension built up was effective as hell! I think more tv shows should take note. Too many tv cliffhangers these days feel like life or death and not enough are riding on family drama.

P.S

What do you mean that wasn’t his first time alone in a coffin?? Wha-why? Why was he in one?? What was he doing?

Get ready for a hard-hitting medical drama that pulls no punches. The Pitt, a new series from John Wells Productions (the creators of ER and Shameless), is landing on Max this January. Returning to his medical drama roots, Noah Wyle takes center stage in this gripping new show.

Set in Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital, The Pitt dives deep into the chaotic and demanding world of frontline healthcare. This isn't your typical polished, tech-filled hospital drama. Instead, the series delivers a raw and unfiltered perspective on the struggles and triumphs healthcare workers face in America today.

Noah Wyle plays Dr. Robby, the ER's chief attendant, and the story unfolds in real-time during his grueling, 15-hour shifts. The series promises pulse-pounding medical crises, tough ethical choices, and an unvarnished look at the emotional challenges of working in emergency care.

With topics like staff shortages and the opioid epidemic woven into its narrative, The Pitt captures the harsh realities of modern healthcare. Its intense real-time storytelling plunges viewers straight into the high-pressure environment of emergency medicine, making for a truly immersive experience. Backed by the renowned John Wells Productions and an exceptional cast, The Pitt is poised to become essential viewing for drama fans. Curious to see if The Pitt delivers on its promise? Mark your calendars—this compelling new series begins Thursday, January 9th, with a two-episode premiere on Max. Fresh episodes will air weekly on Thursdays, leading up to the season finale on April 10th.

For anyone who’s tuned into The Pitt on Max, it doesn’t take long to realize that Noah Wyle‘s Dr. Michael Robinavitch is having a very bad day.

In a press conference with reporters Thursday, Wyle joined fellow executive producers John Wells and R. Scott Gemmill, as well as most of the cast, to talk about the series that remains in the Top 5 of Max’s most watched originals, both globally and domestically. Since he’s playing another harried emergency room doctor like he did for many years on NBC’s ER, Wyle was asked if he finds himself consciously trying to avoid any similarities to Dr. John Carter.

“This is a totally different acting exercise,” said Wyle. “This is building a pressure cooker hour by hour, degree by degree, ingredient by ingredient, playing with levels of fatigue and the inability to compartmentalize things that need to be compartmentalized. This has been a wonderful sort of psychological examination of one guy having one of the worst days of his life. The presence required in just that exercise, I haven’t even thought about similarities or differences [to ER].”

Thursday’s press conference on the Warner Bros. soundstage where The Pitt shoots came hours after a Los Angeles Superior Court judge issued a “soft tentative” against Warner Bros, which tried to block a lawsuit by Michael Crichton’s widow claiming The Pitt is an updated version of ER. Wyle and Wells didn’t comment about the court outcome; rather, they spent time touting the unique features about their series and how it can be wish fulfillment for people who’ve had negative experiences in an emergency room.

“We’re all concerned about what happens to us. We all have to intersect with the medical world and we’ve all done it with our own families,” Wells told reporters. “There’s a feeling of wanting to know what actually is going to happen. It allows us, in advance, to kind of live out our concerns. You want to see people like these wonderful characters that Scott has created and Noah is playing. You want these people to be the people you get in the emergency room, who are actually going to take care of you and your family. I think people really want to have that experience.”

For those who haven’t tuned in, each episode of The Pitt is set up as one hour in the day of life of a Pittsburgh hospital, so by the time the 10-episode first season has been completed, viewers will have experienced an entire shift in the ER. The cameras rarely leave the unit, except to maybe capture what’s happening outside where the ambulances arrive.

“The thing that makes the emergency department unique is that time is of the essence,” said Gemmill. “Time is such an important role in the ER. So trying to capture what it’s like to be in the emergency department, that’s the best way that we could come up with in terms of really being in there … The average ER doctor gets pulled away every two or three minutes to something else. So it was really the best way for us to capture that real visceral feeling of being there.”

One of the notable aspects of The Pitt is how the writers don’t rely on a soundtrack to jack up the intensity of a scene.

“I knew it could be done because I did at least one or two episodes of ER when I didn’t use any music, no score whatsoever,” said Gemmill, who was an EP on the NBC drama from 1999 to 2007. “You just have to write it in a certain way, and trust that your scenes and your actors are going to be emotional. You’re going to get that from what you’re seeing, with not having to be told how to feel. Or you know, whether it’s a funny moment. I mean, trust me, I’ve had shows where I begged the composer to save a scene, to please make this better. But I think, if you’re honest, and because of what it is in the ER, there’s no music when you get bad news. Nobody’s in there with violins. That makes it more real. As soon as you put a score underneath it, it pushes you back in the chair. Now you’re watching something that not as real. I think having the lack of score has a huge impact on the reality of what you are trying to get.”

Donnie Darko (2001)

Donnie Darko is a distinct blend of different tones. It’s tender and earnest but also terrifying and unsettling. It’s a cold dose of reality blended with warm memories. The odds were against this movie – director Richard Kelly’s career never took off, it didn’t make a lot of money at the box office and this story isn’t mainstream – so I’m thankful it’s found a cult following.

In early October 1988, Donald “Donnie” Darko (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a troubled teen who evades disaster when he sleepwalks outside of his home one night. Had he stayed in bed, he would’ve been flattened by the jet engine that fell out of the sky and into his bedroom. After the incident, Donnie begins to see visions of Frank (James Duval), a mysterious man in a rabbit costume, who informs him that the world will end on Halloween morning.

That weird outline is only the beginning and at first, it seems at odds with what follows. Writer/director Richard Kelly was born in 1975. The film is set in 1988, when he would’ve been around the same age as Donnie’s younger sister, Samantha (Daveigh Chase). There’s a nostalgic comfort to many of the film’s scenes. When Gretchen (Jena Malone) walks into Mrs. Pomeroy’s English class (Drew Barrymore plays the teacher), she’s told to sit next to the boy she thinks is the cutest. She chooses Donnie and a romance between them soon develops. It’s cute but there’s also this anti-nostalgic shot of vinegar to cut the sweetness. Gretchen’s mother moved them to this new town so they could escape her abusive and violent husband. The bullies at the school range from “normal” cruel teenagers to borderline psychopathic. Donnie and his older sister, Elizabeth (Maggie Gyllenhaal) get along, but a tragedy later in the film is sure to split them forever. The most vocal teacher at the school isn’t Mrs. Pomeroy or the sensitive physics teacher, Dr. Kenneth Monnitoff (Noah Wyles). It’s the gym teacher, Kitty Farmer (Beth Grant), a woman who's eager to ban books, not particularly bright, snub her nose at anyone who doesn’t perfectly match her standards and yet somehow manages to rally others behind her. There’s something almost comical about the way she idolizes this bullshit-spewing local motivational speaker (Jim Cunningham, perfectly portrayed as both sleazy and moronic by Patrick Swayze) but something prevents you from laughing. The sinister feelings that trickle in from time to time make her more dangerous than hilarious.

The thing that makes Donnie Darko almost feel like a horror movie – on top of the fact that the entire plot is leading towards Halloween – are Donnie’s creepy hallucinations. Even if he stayed silent, you’d label Frank as a doomsday prophet. The jet engine suddenly and inexplicably falling from the sky, the nasty people around town and Donnie’s paranoid schizophrenia make you wonder which three possible endings we're headed toward. Maybe it’ll be romantic, with Donnie and Gretchen finding a way to escape their ugly realities together. Maybe horrifying - a school shooting or prank gone horribly wrong would fit right in. Maybe it’s all just a backdrop to a bigger plot related to that inexplicable jet engine; something out of the Twilight Zone. Maybe it’ll be a combination. There’s no way to know for sure.

Several aspects of Donnie Darko make it memorable. The dialogue, for instance, is occasionally profound and in other scenes, filled with the kind of inane, brain-dead conversations that make you realize teenagers are nothing but children with raging hormones – even if you're a teenager yourself. The visuals of Donnie’s hallucinations are another. More than anything, however, it’s the strange plot and the performances. Jake Gyllenhaal is exceptional here. You like him. You’re also worried about what he’s going to do. Then, we get to the end. A more conventional film would tie up all of its threads neatly. Donnie Darko leaves many questions unanswered. You won’t care. It’s just an invitation to watch the film again to see what clues you missed, or perhaps to check out the director’s cut.

The last time I "saw" Donnie Darko was early one morning in the video rental store. I had to shut it off when I remembered how crass some of the dialogue can get. That was what? At least 15 years ago? I was surprised by how well I remembered the picture and also by the details that had slipped my mind. Though it is unusual and the ending may leave you saying "wha?", teens/young adults will eat it up. Older audiences will appreciate its unique qualities.(November 21, 2024)

Scrolling through my dash and finding a long gifset of Noah Wyle as a doctor in an emotionally charged scene about addiction, except this time he's the one berating someone else for working while high.

Time is a fucking circle.

Another peaceful day in heaven, Adam is casually strolling around heavens promenade with Lute slurping his drink thinking about the next years extermination which he is so excited for! as usual the promenade is buzzing with activity it's where all of the partying goes all constantly. When suddenly Sera appears before the two of them in a flash of holy light teleporting the two of them away from the everybody else that they can speak alone.

" FUCK SERA! you can't sneak up on a guy like that! -- ughh, what now??"

" Adam, you come with me. Lute, you go your own way i need to speak to him alone. "

Lute respectfully bows her head a little. " Of course your majesty.... i will see you later" with a flap of her wings she's gone.

" Adam, every fifty creation days you complain about needing a new wife. My apologizes that it took time. "

" AH FUCK YEAH! YES! NO MORE DEPRESSED EATING AND LONELY NIGHTS NO HOT CHICK TO SHARE RIBS WITH AND-- "

" Adam ! language!!"

" ehhhh---- sorry Sera i guess, but what can you except from a guy?, fuck it's been YEARs SINCE Lucifer fucked both of my wives."

" Adam, this is heaven not hell. Language!---- but yes i suppose i do understand. Now it's time. " With another flash of holy light Sera teleports the two of them to marble lit beautiful room where he and Eve can reunite, the very sight of her makes him drop his cup and evokes a range of feelings... he has not felt soft in a very long time, joy ..... could it really be?..... her again? his beautiful bride who was taken from him so aburutly and then he slowly takes off his exorcist mask holding it in his hands. Sera softly smiles.

" I will leave you two reunite alone. " and then just like she's gone in divine light.

Adam is stunned rooted to the spot just looking at her speechless for a few minutes then stammers his voice shaking. " E------E--- Eve? " for the first time in a very long time he's close to tears not sadness but happiness to see her once again.
