Just saw Spy x Family: Code White in theaters! It was so fun! The animation was gorgeous as expected :)
anyway have some sneaky post-credits spoilers below the cut :)
(also I audio recorded the movie (english dub) for myself but if anyone is interested in it, then let me know and I’d be more than happy to share it :) )
(also also if anyone has an extra copy of those little sxf card thing that some theaters gave out and is willing to share it, please let me know bc I would love to have one - my theater sadly didn't give any out. I'd be more than happy to trade my audio for the card thingy :) )
if Broadway doesn’t want bootlegs floating around then they need to get their act together and make legal recordings. you can say all you want that theater is meant to be enjoyed live, but the fact of the matter is not everybody can get to NYC to go to a Broadway show. not everybody can afford to take the time off of work and buy a plane ticket to NYC and buy a night in a hotel AND get the ticket to the show. people want to see the shows, that’s why there’s a bootleg market in the first place, but it’s unreasonable to expect that everyone has the time, money, and ability to make it out to the one place in the world to see something on Broadway, especially if it’s a limited engagement. so record that shit, slap some subtitles on it, and sell it so we can buy it legally.
I met a fourth grader and her name was yue, and she was like ‘yea I’m named after a character from avatar the last air bender cause my parents are huge nerds’ and all I said was ‘that’s rough buddy’ and she beamed at me and I’m pretty sure I made her day lmao
@matthewbroderick pointed me in the direction of this video, and while it SEEMS like a very important argument, it is inherently flawed. The issue with there being no door isn’t that it seems like Elle is rejecting Emmett, but because it makes Emmett come off like an asshole. Prior to the Door moment, Emmett starts to say “Elle you should know -” and it’s clear it’s about to be a love confession, but then Elle says that Callahan hit on her and Emmett immediately stops.
With door: When Emmett sings “what about love?” it’s more to himself, a sort of aside. It lets Emmett have an emotional moment, lets the audience know for sure that he loves her. We get the gorgeous juxtaposition of Elle and Emmett both in so much pain on either side of the door. It’s ALL. GOOD.
Without door: He’s just heard that Elle has been assaulted by Callahan, and he directly says, “What about love?” Like “the timing’s bad, I know” is the understatement of the century. Without a door separating them, he is saying “I know you just got assaulted, but um hey I love you, so, it’s okay” basically. There is no respect for her boundaries. It’s a fucking gross-ass move.
eventually you realize you don’t want to die. you just don’t want to live the life you’re living. and slowly you try to create a life you want to live. just gotta start there.
literally though if you feel like your life is slipping through your fingers and every day goes too fast… try doing hard things, not just taking the easy route, like reading and making art and exercising and cooking a meal from scratch and journaling, doing these things without distraction, without being absorbed on a screen… the time will stretch and you’ll be reminded that life is long and beautiful if you make it so.
Whoever invented "open in app" links that redirect you to the app store instead of actually opening the app even when you already have the app installed on your phone should be involuntarily turned into a beanbag chair
