(part 2 here)
#most of these are fuzzy but i still feel like i got some great stills of brosenthal#i can’t even pick a favorite. maybe the package deal one#or the library card one#or the consequences of my actions. what can i say i love the graveyard scene#i do not support jkr and consider the musicals to be pretty far removed from her scope#anyways how do yall feel about gay love piercing through the veil of death and saving the day? <3#starkid#avpm#quirrellmort#brian rosenthal really gave one of the best performances of the trilogy in the graveyard scene imo.#‘‘no… i didn’t see the end‚ because YOU were watching it while you were on the back of my head‚ SUCKING MY SOUL!!!!!’’#long post#mine

Look, if you wanted to make a show about Vampire Adam Lambert and his sidekicks, just open with that.
Don't spend 2 seasons giving us fucking brilliant, mesmerising character work by genuis actors like Jacob, Assad and Delainey, and then show how much you want to single out your one real star, by giving the white lead the only solo promo you've ever given anyone.
You want to be racist just go ahead and do it with your chest, not this squirming around begging for cookies rubbish.
#interview with the vampire#Media Racism#Lestat is a Lyncher#Sure its a great trailer and a compelling performance#if you ignore two entire seasons of Jacob Fucking Anderson acting his soul out#Fuck You Rolins

shoutout to yunxi for hauling his 5'3 70 lb toothpick limbed self to serve nothing but cunty slayage and devastating pain through 40 straight episodes
#till the end of the moon#luo yunxi#no way the show would have been as impactful if he didn't embody the character and represent his transformations so fucking well#even with costumes/makeup it wouldn't have been nearly as immersive/believable without such an incredible emotional performance#and he looked great doing it!! each tear certainly slayed my soul!!#bai lu did great as lss/yxw as well but ttj fucking carried#100

Betty (1992)
"You know, I wanted to ask Thérèse when I saw her in the cellar. I wanted to say: 'Show me your wound.' I wanted to have a wound, too. I've always been chasing that wound. I must be looking for pity. I'm not a victim. I'm not to be pitied. No one ever hurt me. I'm the one who did the hurting. I'm a fool. Say it! I blew it all. I've soiled everything, myself included."
#betty#1992#french cinema#claude chabrol#georges simenon#marie trintignant#stéphane audran#jean françois garreaud#yves lambrecht#christiane minazzoli#pierre vernier#nathalie kousnetzoff#pierre martot#thomas chabrol#yves verhoeven#henri attal#coco bakonyi#emmanuelle bataille#mélanie blatt#powerful and devastating in equal measures. a tightly focused study of one vulnerable soul in freefall. as the titular Betty#Trintignant gives a truly phenomenal performance; her character is a self destructive alcoholic who has just broken up her marriage to the#high society son of a general and signed a document promising not to contact their young children. in a drunken reverie she stumbles into#the reassuring figure of long term Chabrol collaborator (and former wife) Audran‚ who takes it upon herself to try and nurse the younger#woman back from the brink of oblivion. what follows is a quiet‚ unhurried study of a desperate psyche‚ all the more affecting for the#subdued‚ nearly vacant performance Trintignant gives: she is a woman hollowed out by her experiences and her addictions#i was surprised to read reviews with negative responses to the character (even in reviews that appreciated the film); i felt nothing but#pity for poor Betty‚ as much a victim of her vices and her psychological makeup as the people around her‚ perhaps more so#some took issue with the very ending in which she appears to 'win' and to start a new life but i think that reading ignores everything that#comes before: there can be little doubt that Betty will destroy this too‚ that we are simply witnessing the end of one cycle and the#beginning of another. challenging‚ soul searching stuff but a truly great central performance from an actor soon cruelly taken from us

I'm honestly starting to feel bad for Loreen because she's actually a great artist and the song wasn't bad per se but.... yeah this wasn't her year, finland definetly deserved the win. She's gonna get so much hate she doesen't deserve just because of the jury votes.
On a related note fuck Israel why are you still here and why did you get more points than Italy how aushvsjsywbshs
#eurovision#esc 2023#yeah i'm starting to accept the finland situation#if only because in retrospect it was obvious that the jury was gonna give her a shitton of points#but i can't excuse israel#nope#Marco was great he poured his whole soul in that performance he deserved at least 3rd place#israel no#catchy song but still generic pop son in english from a country who shouldn't be there in the first place#there are places who where excluded from eurovision for way less

god writing the first bits of the italian renaissance au is so gruelling. i feel like putting up a big sign on top of the text that says I PROMISE I'M NOT WOOBIFYING TODD. HE'S A GROWN MAN WHO GETS A NUANCED PERSONALITY I PROMISE IT'S JUST THAT ALL THE OTHER CHARACTERS ARE LOOKING AT HIM WRONG. PLEASE
#this post is about todd but really it applies to the whole triumvirate#besides it's a renaissance au - i'd go amiss if i didn't include SOME themes on perception/performance/political personas etc.#like. niccolò/neil is PERCEIVED as a young swaggering military captain and a ladies' man and a dandy#and IS a gentle and kind man who understands deeply his own prowess for fighting and for political maneuvering#and wants none of it#and tommaso/todd is PERCEIVED as a lamb among wolves - the most naive and innocent and vulnerable cardinal in rome#and he IS a man who is kind “in despite of” - not “in the lack of”#and he IS a man whose heavily religious worldview comes down around his ears and who becomes just. suffused with guilt#a man who discovers he has the potential for great cruelty and who spends the rest of his life retreating from that revelation#horrified by the inner workings of his own soul#and andrea is PERCEIVED as a solemn and stately young politician who's a stickler for rules and a fantastic orator#and he IS. well. yeah no that is actually pretty accurate#except for the queer streak of jealousy that ruins him in the end#also i reckon the rule-sticking gets thrown out the window around the first political assassination.#that's corruption!!!!! baby!!!!!!#anderperry#these tags got unreasonably long. my bad#tristan writes

When I watch a runner-up-barely-qualified go up against a top ranked team I expect to see blood on the field I expect to see a battle to the death I expect to see a fight for every last inch like lives and souls depend on it (they do) and let me tell you serbia is NOT delivering
#you were gonna lose this prediction 82% to 18! make them fucking WORK FOR IT#I miss world cup 2022 now there was some people leaving their guts and souls on the field#and like… englands not even performing that great they could have won this

hate how scared modern liberal movies are of making characters of color into antagonists of any sort? like i know it depends on what kind of story you want to tell, but if it's a "colorblind" story that's just like, "regency era, but diverse" or whatever and all of the people of color are the kind supporting cast, just go fuck yourself I'm sorry
#persuasion 2022 was sooo dirty w this#like... let actors of color play rancid people too? idk man i want to see characters.#i dont want to see you did the bare minimum and hired a few actors of color#like. in THE BOOK persuasion lady russell was lowkey a mean classist bitch#and they just.... didn't make her a mean classist bitch and just made her a kind mother to anne for nooo reason?#like also. sorry i didn't really super like gl*ss onion#(censoring just so it isn't in the tag)#bc like i get they wanted to critique billionaires. but... i dont think the movie was very smart to be honest#like it has a lot of nice funny details. but like. its all very on the nose and the pacing wasn't that great#and tbh i was like 'woah ballsy move to make leslie odom junior play some guy whose a complete suck up to a billionaire'#but like. he really was theeeeeee most harmless of them like.#this man was so insignificant to the story he was only needed to give exposition like 3 times#same w the politician woman like she had no fucking purpose to the plot#but especially with his character i felt like this could have been a great role but I think the director was too scared#of coming across racist to do anything interesting with the character at all? like what was he there for?#and like ive seen this man act this man is a fucking powerhouse of an actor you know#i was soooo excited that he was in the movie and he played like 'lowkey unimportant character number 3' like i was sooo mad abt that#like did viola davis perform her soul out on god knows how many seasons of how to get away w murder#just so that mainstream now is too scared again to cast people of color in non-'kind supporting cast 🥺' roles???#like i hope i dont sound insane but i am sooo tired of this
