pls write oc x canon character fiction I don't understand how that's cringe or why cringe is even a word we've affixed to fanfic in the first place

also sometimes the canon character needs a perfect partner written for them bc canon refuses to so yes write away

This is a Rufio (Cleopatra 1963) appreciation post that guy was great

Roddy was literally the entire reason this film appeared on my radar a couple years ago and I have not regretted it. This movie is AMAZING and OP is right, Roddy absolutely SLAYS every scene he is in. This film is beyond incredible...with its scene-chewing famous and gorgeous stars, the breathtaking visuals, the sheer chemistry among the actors...it is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon.

I came back to the film for Martin Landau, and he does not disappoint in a single one of his scenes either. I was deeply saddened to hear that the original cut of the film had far more scenes involving him and Roddy (not together, just more scenes featuring them), and they were cut for runtime and to further showcase the leading stars (Burton and Taylor). I would have loved to see more of Martin and Roddy.

I love Roddy McDowall’s performance in Cleopatra (1963). He doesn’t have that many talking scenes (4 hour movie) but he slays in all of them .

I was so busy identifying the episode it took me a full ten seconds to realize that was Columbo standing there. And then I cracked TF up! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Do you kids know how hard it is to hyper fixate on shit as a goddamn adult?? Sorry boss I know you need those files done but I’m too busy giggling like a goddamn school girl over a fictional man

As someone who has loved movies since I opened my eyes, this speech speaks to my soul on a level I can barely explain.

A very happy birthday in the afterlife to Martin Landau!

So beautiful a man and so well-deserved an award.

Straight up this is one of my favorite episodes. A lot of people apparently don't like it. I'm not most people. I think the cooking show sequence is one of the funniest and cutest moments of the series. Martin Landau and Peter Falk just ad-libbing their way through Columbo's live TV appearance. Martin doubling up on himself and playing both characters playing each other at one point. The housekeeper, Mrs. Peck and her rivalry with Columbo (leading to one of my favorite speeches from Columbo in the series). The fun way in which Columbo solves the murder ("can't talk now"). Martin does the best with what he's given, and it's clear Peter's enjoying himself. I love this episode.

This is how I feel while playing Silent Hill 2 remake.

On a more serious note, this scene depicts Bela Lugosi's efforts of overcoming his morphine addiction after he booked himself at a hospital in 1955. Despite this being largely a success, Bela Lugosi would die one year later in 1956 from a heart attack. Ed Wood continued to publish plan 9 after the death of Lugosi, an act that angered Lugosi's son as he thought that Ed Wood was exploiting his father because of his famous name.

In 1982, Stephen King also commented on Ed Wood's relationship with Bela Lugosi and the posthumous release of Plan 9:

"There's nothing funny about watching Bela Lugosi … wracked with pain, a morphine monkey on his back, creeping around a southern California development," Stephen King wrote, referring to the film as an "abysmal, exploitative, misbegotten piece of trash."

I saw this movie when I was 14 years old. My friend had a sleepover birthday party. She loved Tim Burton, I loved Johnny Depp, and most of the rest of the kids at the party had fallen asleep by 11 p.m. She put this on and we watched it. By the end of the film, she was asleep, and myself and another girl were up watching. I couldn't take my eyes off of the screen. But see, I wasn't captivated by Johnny Depp.

I was captivated by Bela Lugosi.

I didn't know who Bela was other than I'd heard his name as a famous horror actor. I knew the man I was looking at was ACTING Bela. But the sheer pain and depth and hope and desperation and sickness in the performance of that man soaked into my brain and held on for years. I fell in love with both him and Bela that night, at 14, and they have stuck with me in ways I have only just started to realize.

Martin Landau dug into my soul that night. I have only just begun to realize how much of that performance I still carry. The man was a legend. He was light and power. He did not act. He was.

Columbo 4x02: "Negative Reaction"

[fandomdancer]

@darkersoul Welcome to Columbo. I'm a new fan myself, just finished the first run of the 70s era of the show (haven't seen the 80s-on yet). Peter Falk is GLORIOUS and this show is unbelievably fun. My favorite seasons are 1-2 but there are gems in every season and he's really going strong as the character for most of the series. I really hope you enjoy and I hope you blab about all your favorite bits!

I'm watching Columbo for the first time and I've said this to my friends but this show is the opposite of Breaking Bad. Everything I've heard about this show from Tumblr is 100% accurate. Lieutenant Columbo really is a funny little guy who everyone thinks is an idiot and says "my wife" and "just one more thing" every other scene. I'm enraptured.
