Me: I’M ALWAYS A SLUT FOR PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

[selcouthself]

One of the reasons I think the dynamic between Erik and Christine in Phantom of the Opera (1990) is so interesting is because during their singing lessons she believes he is just a regular man who happens to be wearing a mask to keep his anonymity. She never believed him to be an angel or something otherworldly — to her he was always just her maestro.

This is also why she doesn't realise the significance of hugging him so easily when she thanks him for her singing lessons. As an audience member who is familiar with the source material, we immediately understand why he stiffened and seemed so shocked by the physical contact, but Christine has no idea. In this version she is far more ignorant towards Erik's view of and feelings towards her, which makes it all the more tragic when she inevitably hurts him.

For the final show in Hamburg, the Phantom (Ian Jon Bourg) and Christine (Colby Thomas) sang a wonderful duet of ‘Music of the Night’ and ‘Think of Me’ combined. It’s quite lovely, and inspired a bunch of headcanons about this being their feelings after the events of Phantom had ended.

One of the most interesting parts of the exhibition featuring costumes from Pride and Prejudice (1995) was the chance to see tiny details that were included not even necessarily for the benefit of the audience at home (as they're too small to be properly seen or worn for such a short amount of time you wouldn't notice) but because the people who made the adaptation truly cared about those details.

The absolute highlight for me was this lovely detail on the fob of Mr Darcy's pocket watch on his wedding outfit... (fair warning that this might make you melt):

Can you see that little silver charm? It's the shape of a heart!

Quote from the information card next to it:

Mr Darcy's outfit is very fine, but restrained and tasteful in style, just like him. On his fob, attached to his waist, is a filigree heart. Perhaps his only nod towards whimsy.

I think this is almost too lovely for words. I love it SO much. It's a beautiful detail and I think it's perfect for his character. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it... it's ridiculously sweet.

They dance, standing very close, his gloved hand holding tightly to hers, her smile against his. They turn as newlyweds might, alone, lost in the music. Evey presses closer to him.

petition for a sherlock holmes muppets movie. sherlock holmes and watson are the only humans. kermit is lestrade. uncle deadly is moriarty. statler and waldorf are members of the diogenes club. ms piggy is irene adler.

holmes thinks he's on a cocaine-induced fever dream but alas! the case persists. watson is barely holding it together.

Ben Crawford & Emilie Kouatchou going tf off. PONR could have been its own gifset but it probably would've been taken down because it was just that explicit.
