the unbreakable connection between me and a song I heard in a fanvid over ten years ago

happy birthday to david duchovny who is barred from a canadian strip club, not because he did anything there, but simply bc he said it rained too much in vancouver

Anyway ROTJ take:

- idk what EU material has to say about this but I fully believe that Jabba the Hutt can speak & understand Basic just fine and is simply choosing not to as a power move. And honestly, he's valid for that

- I also fully believe that Luke can understand huttese. Like he grew up on Tatooine in what seems to be a bilingual society. He's got to at least know some. On his visit to Jabba's palace I think he's pretending not to for his own reasons.

Conclusion: during the scenes where Luke & Jabba are communicating via interpreter they are both just pretending not to be able to understand each other and making poor Threepio act as go between

for me the most relatable x files character has always been the dog that gets pulled away from that kid’s birthday cake in “the jersey devil”

again I remind us all that guy of gisborne burned down marian's house, tried to murder his own baby, and actually murdered marian

in other words, "it would make them worse (affectionate)"

ROBIN HOOD, MAID MARIAN, and SIR GUY OF GISBOURNE from ROBIN HOOD

Justification:

"Because by the end of the show, Guy and Robin were best friends. Also Marian proved that Guy could be swayed to the side of Doing Good Things for the Wrong Reasons the lure of sex, he was just too poorly written I mean, evil" - Anonymous

I have heard the whispers on reddit for a while about how Chris Carter kept the script from GA until the very last minute and how he let Duchovny read it before her. And I have always been skeptical because, like, who would be that much of a high school type bully?

Im sad to say after a solid trek through the wayback machine and a ton of broken links I found it. Please excuse the retelling of old news, I just got here...

The same old will they won't they nonsense masquerading as pseudo intellectual pretension. It would've been less invasive to the plot to just have them be an old married couple.

Imagine watching Gillian Anderson act out that final scene like she was hanging on to the last thread of her sanity and thinking, these two people are more emotionally connected than ever because Ive impregnanted a 53 year old and yeeted the son she's been traumatised about for 20 years?

sooo? they got back together because in retirement and old age they needed a caretaker? Oh thats not...

ah yes the pillow talk where Scully worries Mulder would leave her for a younger fertile woman. BROTHER EUUUGH

This is insane. it's just absolutely insane. it's downright bullying. letting DD read it but keeping GA in the dark bc he knew she'd have issues with it. not trusting Gillian Freaking Anderson to know how to act. No you know what? Knowing your script is so corrupt a world class one in a million actor wouldn't be able to act this out without being able to hide her simmering rage if she had a chance to internalise it.

Im not so unbiased that I can't give him props for this one. Its so sad he couldn't let go of the same plot hes regurgitated over and over and made that the overarching plot of the revival bc it could've been epic.

We should all quit our jobs to focus on summer

This is one of the hardest quotes ever and it comes from a 14 year old in the funny little book series about shape-shifting middle schoolers fighting space slugs. And it's about how he's probably going to have to kill his mom.

just bringing this back too

What Robin Hood did in 12 hours

[goodbyewaffles]

my first, and maybe most correct, bbc Robin Hood post, from February 2015

So obviously I love a lot of things about BBC Robin Hood, but maybe I love the crazy half-assed costumes the most? Like did they just tell the actors, “it’s cool, wear whatever you want/found in the garbage behind your apartment building”

Reminder

What do normal people who haven't had half their personality shaped by the lord of the rings think about when they are scraping butter across bread?

[goodbyewaffles]

i think all quiet on the western front and the lord of the rings are in direct conversation with each other, as in theyre the retelling of the same war with one saying here’s what happened, we all died, and it did not matter at all and another going hush little boy, of course we won, of course your friends came back
