Why was Archie so quick to fight Jim?

Jim was in the middle of saying they weren't going to. And then Archie punches them and says

"In my experience, it's kind of how stuff goes."

That sounds so sad!! What's your experience babygirl, tell me your backstory, I'll slurp it like it's delicious delicious soup.

And what's "stuff"? Does it have to do with the thing Ed said before ("all love dies") or is she talking about something else?

I know they're all together on board the Depression Boat ™ Ed is captaining towards the afterlife but she seems so defeated and accepting and I just HHHNG

"It's just life". BABY TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG I'LL FIX IT I'LL FIX YOU

She's very funny and chirpy the rest of the time but I'm telling you she has been THROUGH IT

She's so mysterious!! I want to know everything about her!!!

One Dress a Day Challenge

November: Oscar winners

Samson and Delilah / Hedy Lamarr as Delilah

Year: 1950

Designers: Edith Head, Dorothy Jeakins, Elois Jenssen, Gile Steele and Gwen Wakeling

I've meant to revisit this spectacular dress ever since it first featured in Coeli's picks, and since today was Hedy Lamarr's birthday, this seems an appropriate time. Delilah wears a jaw-dropping array of costumes in this film, each one more sumptuous than the last. Just when you think they couldn't possibly top the last one, she shows up for the finale in this peacock gown!

The cape is lavishly adorned with real feathers. Legend says they were "donated" by the peacocks owned by Paramount Studios!

The costume was part of Debbie Reynolds' collection, and it has survived in remarkably good condition.

Love that this statue is apparently a gay landmark. Thank you for the history lesson, Casey McQuiston & RWRB!

HRH Henry: "And James's son, Charles I, is the reason we have dear Samson. It's the only Giambologna that ever left Florence. He was a gift to Charles from the King of Spain, and Charles gave it, this massive, absolutely priceless masterpiece of a sculpture, to Villiers. And a few centuries later, here he is. One of the most beautiful pieces we own, and we didn't even steal it. We only needed Villiers and his trolloping ways with the queer monarchs. To me, if there were a registry of national gay landmarks in Britain, Samson would be on it."

Henry's beaming like a proud parent, like Samson is his, and Alex is hit with a wave of pride in kind.

He takes his phone out and lines up a shot, Henry standing there all soft and rumpled and smiling next to one of the most exquisite works of art in the world.

"What are you doing?"

"Im taking a picture of a national gay landmark, Alex tells him. "And also a statue."

Director Joseph Kosinski is perhaps one of the most underrated filmmakers working today. Say what you will, but I loved the hell out of Tron: Legacy. And naturally, everyone saw and loved Top Gun: Maverick, a movie no one expected to make over $1B at the box office, let alone walk away with a Best Picture nomination at the Oscars. But now Kosinski is following up his need for speed with another…
