The Shawshank Redemption and hope and institutionalization

The Shawshank Redemption sheds light on one’s institutionalization in institutions like a prison and the hope that one can retain even when one is to live in a hellish situation. Based on Stephen King’s novella, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption, and directed by Frank Darabont, The Shawshank Redemption is a prison film about a young and successful banker, Andy, who was wrongly convicted for…

of all the star wars movies, which of them do y'all 1) enjoy the most 2) consider the best quality and 3) think you've rewatched the most. add your answers in the reblogs or replies, i'm genuinely curious how much of an overlap there is within everyone's three answers. mine don't overlap at all! they're revenge of the sith, empire strikes back, and the force awakens :^)

#len speaks #star wars #revenge of the sith #empire strikes back #the force awakens #not tagging more films than that bc i cant b bothered. incoming tag ramble ahead bc i have sw brainrot rn and im making it everyones prob❤️#i rlly struggled 2 remember if id watched tfa or aotc more. i went w/ tfa bc it was formative to me as a teen and ive seen it probably 6ish #times? whereas aotc was the first sw movie i remember (specifically the scene of obiwan serving c*nt in the bar lmao) but i've only seen it #for sure 4.5 and maybe 5.5 times. the .5 is from when i got bored after obi-wan's scene ended and ran off to go play in the mud or smthn 😭#i'm sure tfa will eventually get surpassed in number of rewatches by aotc and rots bc i don't fw the direction of the ST but that's my #current ballpark estimate of my total number of rewatches #as an adult tho if i just wanna watch a star war i'll go with aotc bc it's fun and ends semihappily and i can turn my brain off for the #spinny lightsabers. it's great background noise or for if you're sick or whatever. rots on the other hand? i won't talk through that unless #i'm quoting it with my brother and i am LOCKED IN 100% entirely entranced by it all #i almost picked rogue one for the best quality answer but i think the character writing is weaker and the facial cgi is creepy. esb beats #it by a hair imho bc of that. the vader hallway scene goes hard tho!!!#also i'm not covering shows or games or books or anything else in this post - simply the films. might ask abt shows later but that might #also give me hives bc so many of the shows suck ass and i don't rlly want ppl extolling the virtues of t.bb in my notes 💀#and yes i do think one's enjoyment and one's opinion of quality are two things that often overlap. but sometimes you just like something #bad and that's awesome. like rots is the best of the prequels by a large margin and i adore the opening and characters and many of the #scenes but that doesn't mean it's the best star wars has to offer ykwim? it's my specialest most favoritest sw movie but that doesn't blind #me to the dialogue lmfaooo

By "roles" I mean playing a different character, and in a different piece of media; someone playing one character across a franchise only counts as one thing for the purposes of this poll, as does playing multiple characters in one franchise/piece of media

Below are some of this actor's roles. Please only check after voting!

Save the Tiger as Harry Stoner (Oscar win)

The Apartment as C.C. Baxter (Oscar nomination)

Some Like It Hot as Jerry / Daphne (Oscar nomination)

The Odd Couple as Felix Ungar

Lemmon won an additional Oscar and was nominated for 4 more beyond that. He was also nominated for 5 Emmys.

He was formerly married to actor Cynthia Stone, and then to actor Felicia Farr until his death in 2001. His son Chris Lemmon and granddaughter Sydney Lemmon are also actors.

More roles

#actors #movies #television #do you know this actor polls #polls #jack lemmon #third movie mention under read more is one of my all time favorites :)#if you haven't watched it yet I 100% recommend it its still so fun and famously has one of the all time best ending lines of a film

I'm only 3/4 of the way through it, but so far it's amazingly, wonderfully insane that Victor/Victoria has aged sooo beautifully as an lgbt+ movie? Like oh my godddd there are so many things that I'm losing my shit over here (contains spoilers !) :

Victoria coming out of Toddy's closet wearing that one guy's clothes and then clocking and kicking his ass

Them addressing certain straight men's fear and insecurity around being attracted to drag queens (and inadvertently, trans women)- and the insecurity in their masculinity/the need to prove that they're (straight/masculine/cis) men

Norma having it revealed to her that Victoria's a man and immediately jumping into saying "well, a woman can always tell- no matter hormone shots, etc. there's some things that can't be hidden" (she's literally flat out making shit up cuz that aint the case lmfaoo) I love how in the context of now this feels like they're actively dunking on transphobes

Toddy saying "You know, I think the right woman could reform you, too." right back at Norma when she says it to him

Toddy and Victoria's relationship <33

It's a low asf bar now but an insanely high bar for the time: no transphobic slurs or comments so far???!! Even media from the 2000s often fail this test

Victoria absolutely owning King Marchand every time he's homophobic or obvious about his fragile masculinity :)

Deliberate misgendering framed negatively in a context without trans people or transphobic implications... idk I just think it's neat

Being chill about cis drag lets fucking go

Textual proof that Julie Andrews is a gay icon and also SO fucking hot in drag

Gay man + straight woman friendship/solidarity in a way that isn't annoying or too stereotypical

The way that Victoria's relationship with both Toddy and King Marchand almost comes off as homoerotic cuz of the drag (wrote this before I got to the part where they were perceived as a gay couple lol)

Honestly you could give Victoria almost any gender/sexuality and this movie would still be a massive slay

"I don't care if you are a man" *kisses her* "I'm not a man" "I still don't care" *they kiss again*

Victoria clocking that one guy multiple times

People thinking King Marchand is gay ("so there was this polish fairy..." and "if a guy like you has the guts to admit he's gay... so can I")

"I said you can stop pretending" "I don't think I want to"

"You know a lot of guys, you'd be surprised [how many of them are gay]."

The convo about men and women not having any particular gendered way of acting, and some women having adams apples ILY <3

That asshole who's trying spy on Victoria getting his umbrella absolutely nuked by the lightning lmaoo

#cough cough I think the best ending would be for victoria to realize she's a trans gay but hey we can't have it all #losing my actual mind rn holy balls #new favourite movie 100% deadass #julie andrews #victor/victoria #drag #obviously the fuckin creepy ass scene where king marchand is in Victoria's bathroom did not age well but I just mean all of the lgbt stuff #the portrayal of norma is also super outdated obviously #gonna be more than ticked off if the film ends with Victoria being forcibly 'outed' as a woman #ngl it wouldn't surprise me if marchand leaked the info himself cuz he's uncomfortable with how they're percieved #also the sock garters……… *cue my gay ass brain exploding*

vent incoming:

got my grades back for my courses last semester and most of it was to be expected, mostly A's, maybe an A-, etc. but i honestly can't get over the fact that my independent study (the buddy cole documentary) was for some reason given a B. like sure getting a B isn't bad per se, I usually get at least one B every semester and i honestly don't really care about what my exact gpa is as long as i can graduate, but come on. this school put me through months of psychological torment over this project and didn't even have the nerve to give me a B+??? i'm still coping with the self-doubt they forced on me and this bullshit is not helping!!

#honestly it's kind of hilarious ngl. especially bc i also got my documentary work counted as an independent study the previous semester #and the previous semester even tho i barely worked on the doc itself #(mostly just planning and putting together the crowdfunding which was still a lot of work but like compare it to the past few months)#they were willing to give me an A (my school doesn't do A+ so this is the highest mark possible)#vs this semester. like i'll admit my final assignment was late and could have been more polished #but i was literally on tour in documentary-mode 24/7 for several weeks. i filmed an entire comedy special! i put together a live interview!#not to mention having to fucking negotiate with my own college censoring the footage they'd promised me of an event i put together #and play nice with a professor who literally outed me on twitter in an attempt to cancel one of my best friends #at this point the ''B'' feels more like a petty grudge than anything else #like ok we can't get away with *actually* fucking over jessamine's grades bc clearly ze did do the work. but let's just give zir a B #like i will admit the audio quality in my final isn't great. and i could have used more polished footage in some sections #but counterpoint: 100+ students were arrested at a protest while i was editing and i was having a mental breakdown #the fact that i finished *anything* is goddamn impressive especially after they essentially conditioned me to hate myself any time i was #working on a project i loved!!!#due to the aforementioned student arrests my college did put out an option where we could change any letter grade this semester to pass/fai #so anything passing wouldn't impact our gpa if we didn't want it to. so i could just change the B to a ''pass''#but really what's the point. ''B'' is still a good grade and my GPA is fine (3.65 on a 4.0 grading scale. 2.0 is required to graduate)#it just sucks that after what i went through last semester i feel like nobody takes it seriously #i was reminiscing earlier about how it's honestly kind of funny how after that professor outed me on twitter #i was at the hotel with scott like an hour later sobbing and having an existential crisis about my relationship to gender #and scott was so supportive but also awkwardly being like #''i know i should offer the crying child a tissue but where the fuck are the tissues in this room what do i do''#and he just handed me a full-on towel instead like oh my god he was trying his best but also so clearly out of his depth #but of course i then had to remember how when i told that story to a different professor to be like ''this is how much scott cares about me #this guy called me fucking UNPROFESSIONAL for crying in front of the subject of my documentary?????????#like yeah maybe so but how DARE you call me unprofessional when a different professor tweeted my full name and gender without my consent #in an attempt to fucking cancel one of my friends for ''misgendering'' me for using pronouns i'm fine with him using!!!#i don't think i'm ever going to be able to forgive my college and i don't know how i'll be able to get through one more semester #that experience genuinely changed things about my psychology that i'm not proud of and i need to work through #so if i have to miss a goddamn kids in the hall event because i have class this november i am going to set something on fire

Stuart Damon guest stars as Texan oil baron (and Simon's new bff) Rod Huston in The Saint: The Ex-King of Diamonds (6.17, ITC, 1969); this episode was the direct inspiration for Roger Moore's subsequent series The Persuaders! (ITC, 1971 - 72)

#fave spotting #stuart damon #the champions #craig stirling #the saint #the ex king of diamonds #itc #1969 #the persuaders!#classic tv #something about the formula of stiff upper lipped english gent with new money American wiseguy really appealed to the production team #producer Robert S. Baker and ITC head honcho Lew Grade seem to have begun planning The Persuaders! almost immediately from this point #bringing Moore back (and with a much greater creative control than he'd had even on The Saint); alas not returning was Stuart Damon #i mean i don't think it's any reflection on him or his performance here; they replaced him with goddamn Tony Curtis‚ a bona fide Hollywood #legend. but it is a shame bc Stuart is so so good here; he's absolutely having a ball with it‚ from his thick Texan accent to his over #sized cowboy hat‚ from the little subtle comic business he's doing (he sits at a table for a fancy pants high stakes card game without #waiting for their host and there's a beautiful little moment he does of realising everyone else is standing as the host enters and trying #to get back up again before everyone sits down). it's a beautiful performance‚ genuinely one of the best guest spots‚ i think‚ that the #series ever had in its 100 plus episodes. when this aired The Champions would have been roughly in the middle of its run #given the fairly lengthy production on The Saint‚ it's possible he filmed this before starting work on The Champions; then again‚ he has #top billing and is the main guest‚ which might suggest he was expected to be a familiar tv star by the time this went out #hard to say without a Pixley bible... regardless he seems to have very good chemistry with Moore. but then Curtis appeared to as well and #they apparently did not always particularly get along during filming of The Persuaders so who knows #with just 3 eps left this could quite probably be my final fave spotted in the saint; it's been quite the journey but I'm grateful to the #familiar faces who popped up along the way and made it a little easier whenever it started to feel like a bit of a slog!

Best film on love and duty: Cleopatra 1963

The 1963 Hollywood film Cleopatra is one of the greatest, most expensive, and most spectacular historical drama films that has ever been made by Hollywood that portrays the struggle of Egyptian Queen Cleopatra to hold the Ptolemy dynasty of Egypt by sleeping with her Roman allies Julius Caesar and Marc Antony. A film that again shows a Roman military general’s struggle between love and duty who…

hm the diversity everybody seems to be ok with (all white cast and a token) is what forced diversity actually is, not when the best person for a lead role just so happens to not be white/mostly not white cast but we all know what people mean by "forced diversity" so I'm not gonna lament too much anymore

#i was looked for gifs of a specific short film only find some reactionary racist shit abt the little mermaid remake #like i did at one point start to think maybe they did cast halle so there would be more buzz but shes actually genuinely #the best for the role #i always knew she was!!! and if anything disney doesn't need diversity points to make money they will make it regardless #if you want to say something like 'ariel being black makes the story so much worse' then actually..... talk about it don't just say that #because you wish a white girl was playing ariel 😂 ofc its white people saying this so they could never actually #delve into it. like we can 100% talk abt how alot of the dynamics have changed in the live action movie because of the race #of characters but if you do not know what language to use or you're just using it to hide being racist idgaf abt what you have to say lmfao #im only say this because the person was convinced halle was cast as ariel because disney wants diverity points and not because #she was the best for the rolw #its never they were the best for the role when actor isnt white is it?

pro: jenna coleman back in her wlw role era

con: worst welsh accents you’ve ever heard to the point that it generated the same deep level of personal offence as if they had dug up my ancestors and pissed on their bones

#jenna babe I’m so glad ur back to kissing women or doing gay things I believe in u #but it’s giving Carla gugino in Bly manor #u spent 3 years filming doctor who in Cardiff and learned absolutely nothing x #listen…Welsh accents are hard. I know. I have one. I can’t even understand myself sometimes. sometimes other welsh people can’t either #it would have been 100% easier to cast actually welsh actors to do this 😭#and it’s not just welsh accents btw #I truly and wholeheartedly believe there are certain u.k specific accents that even the best actors just…..can’t do
