Cannot stop thinking about how, even if Booker didn’t have the most tragic backstory possible, his ultra-traumatic death (which would have taken anywhere from 15-20 minutes and is undeniably the worst of the Guard’s OG deaths) would have had him clawing his way out of immortality by itself

Dear Netflix. These guys might be immortal but we're not, so please give us TOG 2 like yesterday.

Just wait til some people realize that Booker is the same brand of Queer White Mediterranean Guy that Nicky is.

[rogue205]

Another day, another round of "Booker should've never been mad at Nicky and Joe amidst his grief!" bullshit that once again centers all this shit on Nicky and Joe when it's not about them.

Grief is a monster. It digs its claws in you in ways that leave unimaginable scars. And losing a child is a *far* different monster than losing family or losing friends. I recently lost my dad and, while the grief was overwhelming, the thought of losing my son is earth shattering. Losing a child upsets the natural order of things and, if you listen to anyone who has lost a child talk about it, it's a pain that never heals. Not after five years. Not after ten years. Not after twenty or thirty.

And Booker had to do it not once, but three times.

And Jean-Pierre, his youngest and last son, dies at 42 years old. The same age Booker was when he suffered his first death. He dies of cancer in a time where there is no treatment, no way to ease his pain. Jean-Pierre dies a horrible, slow death and Booker has to watch it, knowing that his son hates him with every fiber of his body. There is no reconciliation, no forgiveness, no closure.

And that wound inside his soul bleeds. And bleeds. And bleeds. Because there is no way to heal. Grief ebbs as time passes and you're able to try and move on with your life, but when time has stopped at a stand-still for Booker? There is no way to move on.

We can see the complete and utter devastation on Andy's face when Quỳnh is simply mentioned, and this is 300 years after losing her. The pain that Booker is carrying around from the loss of his sons, after a little more of half that time? Unimaginable.

Joe and Nicky got off light. And it's not about them. Because, as Booker correctly pointed out, they had each other.

All he had was his grief.

My own opinion…

Does anyone notice that these cop shows can only depict “strong female characters only by emasculating the males? I’m rewatching Cold Case and I can’t get over how annoying Lilly is. And how her boss has “fatherly affection” for her so she literally gets away with murder while her male coworkers do not(except I guess Stillman *did* take that one fall for Scotty).

FBI is the same with Maggie. I don’t think she’s really had to face punishment for any of her spontaneous decisions that go against orders. 🙄🙄🙄

Matías Recalt wins Best New Actor at the 38th Goya Awards

Buenas noches. Es la primera vez que hago esto así que estoy bastante nervioso, eh, quería agradecer a la academia por este reconocimiento. Muchas gracias. Quería compartirlo con todos mis amigos de la montaña, con mis amigos del elenco, que creo sin ellos no, no hubiese sido posible. Creo que cada plano de cada uno de ellos hace a mi personaje y hubo mucho corazón en esta película y agradecérselo a ellos y compartilo con ellos. A J. Bayona, gracias. No sé qué hago acá, estoy flasheando, diría en argentino. Eh, a María Laura Berch, a Gustavo Saffores, a Emilia, al equipo de casting, a Sandra, Belén, eh, a Pablo Vierci, a toda la gente que hizo La sociedad de la nieve, realmente fuimos muchísimos para hacer esto, y dimos todo. A los sobrevivientes de los Andes, a los que no volvieron, a los familiares los que no volvieron por dejarnos contar su historia. Muchísimas gracias especialmente a Roberto Canessa por ser Roberto Canessa, un gran personaje para interpretar. A mi mamá, a mi hermano, a mis tíos, a mi abuela, a mis amigos. A mi novia, Male, te amo por acompañarme, gran compañera. Y especialmente a mi padre, que lo perdí antes de hacer esta película. Y esto te lo dedico a vos papá. Gracias. Y por último mandar un abrazo muy grande a mi país, Argentina, que está pasando un momento muy delicado y pedir que por favor no se manche la cultura. Muchas gracias y muchas veces. Vamos arriba.

'Numa se inmola para provocar la salida de los expedicionarios, como si dijera: "si me muero ahora, primero dejo de sufrir y además los impulso para que se vayan"', asegura Gustavo Zerbino, que fue quien encontró la nota que Numa escribió en su mano cerrada. 'Con ese mensaje les hablaba a los expedicionarios; "les toca a ustedes". Lo miré a Roberto y Roberto me responde: "ya está, salimos mañana"'. 'Numa sacrificed himself to push the expeditionaries to leave, as if saying: “If I die now, most importantly I won’t suffer anymore. Besides that, I’ll motivate them to leave,”’ says Gustavo Zerbino, who was the one to find the note Numa had written, clutched in his closed hand. ‘With this message he was telling the expeditionaries: “Now it’s your turn.” I looked at Roberto and he said, “Alright, we’ll leave tomorrow.”’ — La Sociedad de la Nieve (2008), Pablo Vierci

Ain’t this the truth.

Some writers: *meticulously plan out every plot point and the tone and meanings before they start writing*

Me:

Okay…

I get it if you’re a fan and “Alive” is nostalgic for me, I won’t lie but …

Saying that it’s the better version and that “La Sociedad de la Nieve” is a copy/paste of it is just not true. Stop deluding yourself.

Alive was written very soon after the rescue and did exactly what the survivors did not want. It dramatized their story. Hollywood took it further. Sure, some survivors got involved in that movie behind the scenes but that was so they could try and make sure Hollywood didn’t take it completely off the rails. It doesn’t even have the real names of most of the passengers and crew.

Also, Piers Paul Read is an American journalist while Pablo Vierci personally knows and has worked very closely with the survivors to tell the story the way it happened.

I think that should also say a lot.

You've heard of OTPs and NoTPs, now get ready for...

WOAH-TPs, pairings you never considered but now ship.

At least they got the recognition there, yes. 💕 Honestly, the Goyas probably meant more to them anyway. American award shows are too predictable.

Dammit. Society of the Snow didn’t win either of the Oscars they were nominated for. 😭😩

Oscar Whine #2:

Lily Gladstone got snubbed by the Academy. She “made history” at the Globes, got the SAG and got the BAFTA. But of course the Academy is gonna give the Oscar to the pretty white girl with the famous mother out of nowhere instead.

Thank you to the Academy for proving their predictability once again.
