It appears to be bread day on tumblr, so here's the Michael Sheen bread toaster video for the vibes
youtube
Superb direction. 1000/10. Every shot, every transition was perfectly timed. The sound was synced beautifully to the toaster clicking, building the atmosphere and urgency even though there were no clear stakes. The dialogue was so understated but it was positioned perfectly. Just where it made sense to add it, nowhere else. The use of diagetic sound, the clicking toaster, to add to the mood.
The transitions themselves, oh man. The way one shot of the bread moved to another, like the clicking of old-fashioned slides in a projector.
The perfect POVs. The variety that they managed to bring to one simple, repeated action. The stillness in the kitchen filled with frantic motion, and the restless motion in the beach that was mostly deserted.
It's like a beautifully choreographed dance. Not one step out of place, not a single missed beat. It felt flawless.
And above is the reaction I had to watching it the first time. Happy, uh, tumblr bread day? Thanks @madfangirlontheloose.
I just started a rewatch of Boardwalk Empire for the first time in over 4 years and, man, but I am dying over how young Charlie feels as Owen Sleater after having recently watched Kin. 😭
I mean, just look at his boyish little face!! 🥺💗
And I was listening to the audio commentary for the scene where Owen and Margaret first sleep together and, remember when she bit him on the neck and he smiled? 🤭🔥
Apparently they were worried Margaret didn’t appear aggressive enough, so Charlie suggested she bite him. 👀
And...now I can’t stop thinking about that. Can’t imagine why. 🥴 *fans self*

Still thinking about the how during the final Once and For All, when Jack told Kath to keep her fingers crossed, Bill could be seen in the back crossing his fingers and mouthing ‘fingers crossed’ to Darcy
