Well.... I must say, balloon boy.. I...... really want to punch his face.

Finally, THE ENDING CREDIT SONG AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
One of the things I love most about The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is how the movie indicates that Coriolanus Snow has a habit of eating small portions of food regularly to prevent his stomach from growling. So he can behave like "Oh you know, I just had sooooo much steak for breakfast." without his tummy betraying his actual closeness to starving, and his poverty. Snack times to keep up the façade among the rich kids all around him. I love it!
And then Lucy Gray Baird enters, and one of her first actions in the capitol is to look behind the strong and stoic façades of her fellow tributes by the sound of their growling stomachs. And even more so, despite Snow having control over his stomach, she still looks right through him, because of him longingly glancing at the rice cookie he brought for her.
Gosh, what a dynamic between Snow and Baird! At that moment, I knew I was sold to them. I knew I just had to follow these two all the way to the bitter end.
I have a love for this movie that I can barely explain and my favorite part is when Ishida finally allows himself to hear the world around him.
My life has not been the happiest and for a long time, I saw the world like Ishida. The moment the sound starts again, is emotional. It is a feeling I will never forget because I can’t. You drown everything out because you feel worthless or hated and when you let that sound come back, it’s like fireworks have started to go off.
The moment you allow yourself to see people again is a magical one and I can’t say I’ve regretted the choice since. Some days it’s harder than others, but I love seeing humans be human. I love what I see and hear now because it is entirely human.
So I’ve maybe said this before, but The Terminator is one of my favorite movies of All Time. This always surprises guys who vastly prefer Terminator 2, and they are always intrigued that I prefer the first movie.
But like Terminator 2 is the most perfectly made 12 year old boy movie of all time. This is NOT an insult. I love Terminator 2. I love 12 year old boy movies (hello, every Marvel movie and like Star Wars). Despite never having been a 12 year old boy, I am sometimes a 12 year old boy at heart. And I love T2 for that.
But The Terminator is a twisted, fatalistic, apocalyptic dark romance. It lacks all the optimism of T2 (necessary for a 12 yo boy movie). T2 tells us there is no fate but what we make while the first one tell us “you are trapped by the narrative and you are doomed.”
And I don’t know, there’s just something about a fated doomed romance, all against the backdrop of man vs machine. And T2 can’t touch that.
Who else went to see Barbie multiple times?
Because I couldn’t stop myself from going again. I absolutely had to.
You get the chance to feel all over again, and notice things you didn’t before. I absolutely cried again and I see no problem with that. It’s just a very moving film for me. Especially as some who struggles with accepting their own femininity.
I also have a lot more appreciation for Alan and Weird Barbie. I honestly love their characters. Alan especially, I also think he actually killed one of the Kens during the fight scene. What an icon.
Seeing it twice was great because you see things you missed the first time. There’s so many little Easter eggs and funny moments. The theater was also a lot more lively this time. I really loved hearing all the laughter.
It also hit me so much more emotionally than it did the first time. I think I was so focused on the positive pink aspect I needed to see it again for the deeper meaning. I got it the first time, but seeing it again got me all worked up. I did cry and that’s okay.
I love What was I made for by Billie Eilish. The first time I wanted to focus on the other upbeat songs, but I have so much appreciation for it. I just felt so much more the second time. It’s still with me now. All these big emotions. I can’t explain it.
Something I noticed in My Policeman that hit me hard was when Tom had sex with Marion, how he avoided looking at her or kissing her like he did with Patrick. It reminded me of when I had sex with men I avoided any position where I could see their face or had to kiss them. Thought I was just disgusted by kissing or hated eye contact, when in reality I’m a lesbian and hated every second of sex with men. I could really relate to Tom in those moments.
If I told my 9 year old self that the sequel to Puss in Boots and Avatar will be released in the same year, she would scream with happiness
If I told my 9 year old self that this would happen in 2022, she would die of impatience.
If I told her that puss in boots 2 would make more money than Avatar 2, she would rise from the dead out of surprise. And ask me: "what the hell happened??"
Gosh I Need Movies Like "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves"!
Frankly, I'm still a bit surprised by how much I love "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves". I mean, I was very much looking forward to the movie because everything about it just felt right, and I even noticed some fear of disappointment when finally entering the cinema. But it did not disappoint. Gosh, how it did not disappoint.
There's so much for me to love about this movie. To name just three things, it has
a marvelously told story (the exposition was quite nice, but the escape from Revel's End prison really set the stage for that hell of a ride which followed),
a very inspired cast playing absolutely dashing characters (I now have a crush on at least two of the main characters! 😅), and
visual effects and set designs with creativity and attention to detail that I have not seen in what feels like an eternity (the very first shot of Neverwinter already made me want to see this city in all its lovely details).
So yes, I left the cinema as overwhelmed and enthusiastic as I had hoped to be. And much to my personal joy you guys here at Tumblr opened up just another level on which this lovely little movie could excel: I have never played "Dungeons and Dragons" (I know a lot about the mechanics and lore thanks to "Munchkin", though 😅), so reading about how much the movie feels like a true DnD session was very insightful, and it even made me see some of its flaws in a new light.
And then it struck me: "Honor Among Thieves" is that very rare type of movie that I really, really need from time to time. A true feel-good movie whose production process brought people together to tell a special story that usually has already been around in some form before. A fantastic, entertaining tale that can be enjoyed - and I cannot stress enough how important that is - utterly unironically and unapologetically.
The first movie of this type that I remember watching is "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" from 2004, and it has been one of my absolute favorites for a long, long, time. So much energy, and so much fun! But there are more. I'm talking about movies like "The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy" (2005), "The Men Who Stare at Goats" (2009), "Tron: Legacy" (2010), "Real Steel" (2011), "John Carter" (2012), and "Booksmart" (2019). Yeah, that kinda was an advertisement for films I still have a crush on. Sorry not sorry.
The downside of this type of movie, because of course there's a downside: They only seldom make a profit. And "Honor Among Thieves" is not an exception to this rule, having grossed about 125 Million USD worldwide at the box office so far, while costing roughly 150 Million. But you know what? That's fine. Big Hollywood studios regularly make a fortune with mainstream blockbuster stuff that I don't even care to remember after I skipped the advertisement promoting it, so it's only fair for them to make a monetarily stupid decision from time to time that will make me oh so happy.
So, long story short: As long as studios like Paramount Pictures keep making marvellous darlings of a potential (or actual) flop like "Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves", I will not even begin to begrudge the obscene amounts of money they get from too-big-to-fail box office hits like "Top Gun: Maverick".
emotional state: randomly thinking of scenes from everything everywhere all at once and letting out one massive wheeze of pain and then carrying on like nothing happened
