sinners was fucking incredible and i need to put the juke joint i lied to you scene on loop for 20 hours Now
#things i've watched#GODDDDDD#sinners 2025#what an incredible fucking film. 10/10 A+ tier#on a lightly tangential note mary having a half-black grandpa on her mama's side is like#just one more generation added to my deal#mama's half black all puerto rican and now here i am#and like im basically white right. i still get the what are you question sometimes but jhbku#still white#so i got a lil emotional when annie called mary family#and then mary paid it all back by fucking it up and going out to feel out whether she could get the vamps to part with their money#thus dragging the danger right back in#i feel like i have so many thoughts but jhbkjljhbkj idk how to articulate them#reminds me of when white-passing puerto ricans claim to be trying to uplift every other puerto rican only to end up lining Their Own Pocket#maybe the intent was there but it doesnt help that theyve got the white savior thing going on

Sometimes I think about Robert De Niro’s small rôle in Brazil (1985, dir. Terry Gilliam). (Incredibly small spoilers about Brazil follow.)
De Niro plays a hypercompetent renegade highly wanted by the dystopian authorities. He has a level of sneak and cinematic urban-superhero transport powers that really remind one of Batman. And what is he doing with these powers?
He is fixing people’s HVAC systems.
In a world where people mostly appear to live in tiny, poorly designed apartments maintained by a venal and inefficient bureaucracy, he is risking his life to make people’s homes livable by fixing their heating and air conditioning.
I dunno, I just think about that. You can daydream about being the big hero who changes everything by yourself, or you can just pick up tools and become an actual small hero by helping actual people in actual ways.

as a bostonian are you legally obligated to go see Wicked
they'd have to bring out the big guns for me like dude you could not PAY me to do that of my own volition
#i blacklisted the word itself as SOON as it came out..which i do admit felt. Wrong given my residency..#but i have an inherent dislike of ANY movie that's generally happy or positive and that's been the case my WHOLE life#like if i made a list of top movies from my 30 years they'd all either be horror films or tremendously viscerally upsetting and/or grisly#i MOST prefer movies that are actually mentally/emotionally painful to watch 😭 need to walk away feeling psychologically violated#if i can tell the vibe is gonna be positive and pleasant and uplifting it's the fastest way for me to get bored and shut it off#so wicked in specific looked like it's got all that PLUS in an intensely grating manner#anonymous#correspondence

Trigger warning: statutory rape, grooming
I haven't yet look at the reactions to the most recent episode on Tumblr, but I feel a little concerned about how there were comments in other places that just didn't acknowledge the fact that Non was taken advantage of by his teacher.
Like, this kid is so alone. He doesn't seem to fully be able to talk to his family, he has a group of kids who continually bully him and want to hurt him and he has no way to really get away from them. The only people he seems to be able to talk to are Phee, who goes to a different school and doesn't necessary see him on a daily basis, and (maybe) Jin, who is friends with the kids who bully him (this is obviously before Jin filmed him). He is in desperate need of money and doesn't know how to get it, he's scared and stressed out AND
a friendly face in the form of his teacher turns up. Someone who is offering kindness to this kid who is in desperate need of some. And then the teacher presents a solution to Non's money problem, saving him. But right after this offer, the teacher initiates a kiss. This is his TEACHER, who is a grown man, while Non is still a teenager. This is his TEACHER, who saw a vulnerable kid and decided to use that to get Non to seek comfort in him, to put Non in a position where he (Mr. Keng) has power over him and uses that to groom him.
It truly upsets me so much for me to see some people call Non a cheater and a terrible person for this when Non is a victim of someone who he should have been protected by.
#from the moment that teacher first interacted with Non I just felt uncomfortable and I was scared this would happen#and don't get me started on the people using this to uplift Jin as a better romantic interest for Phee#because Jin pretty much did the worst thing he could have possibly done in reaction to this#it doesn't matter that he didn't post it (i'm not sure but it doesn't seem like he did) because he still filmed it & somehow it got release#he might be sorry but that's not something you can really ever take back#episode 7#dff the series#dff#dead friend forever#dead friend forever the series#dff non#dff phee#dff jin#dff episode 7

gay/bi mike wheeler discourse is so hilarious from my pov. I'm here sitting on my bench watching you all going at each other's troaths virtually, eating popcorn and knowing that Mike is straight, that the Duffer Brothers are lazy and they wrote Will to be in love with Mike because they wanted to take the safer route : sad gay kid pining over his straight best friend. They didn't add a new character for Will in season four because it wasn't suitable for Will and Mike storyline. If Argyle wouldn't have existed and in his place there would have been the new Will's love interest, what the fuck would Mike have done for eight episodes ? Will's storyline would have been different, he couldn't be Mike's counselor. Will and Mike's storylines in season four are attached not because there is this big plot twist around the corner and by*ler will be endgame, it's because of cheap, lazy writing. They didn't know what to do with both of them. So it's really funny reading this whole online discourse "Mike is clearly gay" "Mike is perfect bi representation" when i am here with a bitter taste in my mouth thinking that in good hands, in hands that really cared about queer identity and queer representation Will Byers would have been treated differently.
#a large group of GA still thinks that will has a crush on eleven#the duffers did an awful job with will in season four but i am happy for the ones of you that think that the slowburn is slowburning#i envy by*er shippers because they are blind to the awful treatment that will as character received#they focus only on mike queerness but i will have the last laugh when the duffer will make him head o er the heels for eleven#“last laugh” there is nothing to laugh will was used to uplift mi*even#the thing is that you all give the duffers too many credits#the last two episodes are terrible and guess who written those#but please go on and keep fighting about mike canon sexuality#spoiler : straight#will byers#anti byler#stranger things#talking about will because i dont' care about mike he is painfully straight#anti mike wheeler#will is the queer rep i care about and it stinks that they waited the final season to confirm on screen that he is gay#they didn't even bothered to film a 50 seconds scene when will talks about his presentation on alan turing#don't feed me the shit“there was no time” because there was time for fanservice like the scene when max look at steve with the binoculars#totally ooc by the way#i rewatched season four i am pissed#will is attached to mike will'sexuality his explored only in function of a character that is in another relationship#and for the whole season will gives advices to him it was horrible

Why are you so angry all the time? Why do you lock yourself away from the world? Why are you not living your life they ask?
I answer with my own set of questions. How can I live in a body that doesn’t work? In a house divided? In a mind that constantly races? How can I go out and try to make a living when I know off the back of my labor my money goes to funding genocide? How can I think positively and go out and have fun when children are being gun downed for going to school, the movies, the mall? Is this survivor’s guilt? It can’t be. I don’t feel guilty for surviving. I feel rage and sorrow that I have to survive. I should be living. We should be living. One shouldn’t have to struggle to eat, drink, and have basic healthcare and rights.
#We can’t right all the wrongs in this world they say#People will always be doomed to repeat history they say#But we all have the power to choose. One person can’t change the world on their own#but one person can start a chain reaction!#And who we choose to support and uplift will be our demise or salvation#*steps off soapbox*#ironically hate religion so much but this sounds very pastoral#once again baffled by the stupidity and cruelty of humanity#us politics#what a country#free Palestine#free Congo#free Haiti#free everyone from their colonizers and oppressive regimes#this post won’t do anything but pls what you buy#the films you watch the musicians you support it all literally adds up#religion is shit ppl in charge are shit I’m never leaving my room again#anygays…#ok to rb

I love being in school for film I enjoy it so much and I'm so grateful for the privilege but I hate hate hate the pretentious film guys who are in charge of teaching us and writing our text books and grading our assignments who all talk and act like this.
#“that's just a guess of course” what if you died#not to mention my professor who assigned this book having the same narrow minded ideas of the pieces of scripts that “work” or “don't work”#YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO TEACH US HOW TO MAKE IT WORK NOT TELL US THAT WE WILL INHERENTLY FAIL#fuck film bros#and then all my women professors are so excited to be here!!! They're so excited to teach the facets of their craft and encourage us to#create things outside of boundaries and rules and they have all been so kind and uplifting#and then the male professors are all so fucking pretentious and pessimistic and cynical and arrogant#and if you don't do things their way then you're doing it wrong and you'll fail#idk I'm just tired of men in the arts#film

“What’s the best thing you’ve ever stolen?”
“I’m beginning to think I haven’t stolen it yet.”
────────────
“Beverly… her name was Beverly.”
from love to loss. he was her miracle and he loved her so much that he couldn’t die.
#genuinely teared up writing this I rlly did#one thing you can take from this post is to watch winter’s tale and be sucked in like I was#the film was just as romantic as it was tragic and it was just as uplifting as it was magical#winter’s tale#beverly penn#peter lake#jessica brown findlay#colin farrell

Also I had a dream last night that involved the production of a pornographic film, where a cute girl goes to a waxing professional who confirms "um you do know this is exclusively a Wax Your Dick And Balls facility" and she's like "yeah I know :)" and he puts two and two together and that's fine too. Then something else happens and he says that he's closing shop and his girlfriend is getting here soon so they can get home together, how about all three of them go home together? :)
And there's a whole cute happy upbeat montage scene of the three of them on their way back to this couple's place, the sun is shining, they laugh at antics of some pigeons while waiting for the bus, almost Ghibli movie style uplifting piano music playing softly in the background, while these people make their way on their little slice-of-life ordinary adventure.
Then it cuts to someone on the production team explaining this to everyone else involved in the film, enthusiastically going "yeah that's the point! It's going to be hilarious, making the whole thing such a high quality, high-effort artistic cinema the viewers forget they're watching porn and get whiplash so hard when they just straight-up start fucking."
And then I woke up before they got to that part.
