I watched Starship Troopers tonight.

the absolute lack of media literacy from people who haven’t even seen oppenheimer is making my head spin but whatever

It is kinda funny seeing people talk about Seungmin lately because he definitely has gotten more bold and confident for sure. He's also just getting opportunities to be perceived as an individual on his own as well for the first time in a while but it's still jarring to see people be like Aw he was always such a quiet goodie two shoes little nerd and it's like...... he was the one to leave and seek out his own vocal coach and blatantly talk about it, which of course lead to I.N and Lee Know also doing the same, he was the one to go on bubble and tell off sasaengs who used to camp outside their old dorm for invading members privacy but also because it effected other residents and staff at the complex, something that i'm certain upper management wouldnt have been happy about, and he wasn't curt or nice about it either. like he's never actually been a wallflower, he's always had a pretty strong backbone and seems to stick to his principals, its not really new.

something i’ve noticed (and can’t pinpoint why tbh…) is that this fandom has like… a weirdly l o w amount of smut??? so i have a q u e s ti o n: is dps smut frowned upon because there is very little of it. also i just woke up from a nap so if this post is completely incoherent that’s why but i find it hard to believe there’s only like idk 50 smut fics on ao3 or some shit, my curiosity is killing me

honestly, now that i've seen i twice, perry's death on fall of the house of usher has got to be one of the worst (to me!!)

feeling very confused/scared HOW DID I NOT KNOW MY DRAMA TEACHER STARRED?? IN A FILM?? WITH JOSH HUTCHERSON??? WHAT??

sometimes i watch a recent movie and i’m reminded how heathers (1988) could never be made today. not just due to the subject matter or dark humor, but because if it was released now we would have to see everything that was implied or told to us via exposition. veronica being a loser, somehow getting wrapped up with the heathers, participating in their bullying, slowly becoming disillusioned, the remingtion party sequence would be 20 minutes long, and heather chandler wouldn’t die until the movie was at least halfway over.

every time i find out a movie i love is considered bad by ppl who understand cinema more than i do i lose my mind. wdym deadpool 2 is a bad movie. it's like one of the only live action movies i can bring myself to care about. bro

[vimbry]

having your formative years coincide with when a common style of cinematography in a lot of places was wacky perspective and claustrophobic extreme wide-angle/fisheye lens and being sat down in front of the television a lot was damaging. now look. you've made a person who likes the audiovisual material of they might be giants.

I again come to you, my all knowing dude, since last time you gave me some badass recs on fantasy books that I really ended up liking!

Do you know some good anime, TVshow or movie you would like to recommend? I just don’t like straight romcom stuff!

Ooh I'm glad you liked the books!

I'm not a great person to ask for recs for visual media to be honest, I don't watch a lot of TV or films and generally don't enjoy them as a medium. I watch a lot of TV with my eyes shut lol

That said, there are of course exceptions! But my apologies in advance if these are all old news to you xxx Again, putting this under the cut to save clogging up the dash!

I went to the cinema three times last year, and every one of the films I saw was a banger. They were Everything Everywhere All At Once, Glass Onion, and Banshees of Inish Erin. Really brilliant, highly recommend them all.

I actually love rom-coms but will resist the urge to rec those here. The exception is Big Eden, which is sweet and gay and lovely and makes me cry. It's a pure regular 2000s rom com, but gay, but like, actually gay, not just "we made the two main characters both men but didn't actually deal with the fact they're queer". I love it.

Emma is my favourite Austen, and my favourite adaptation of it is the 2009 four-parter with Romola Garai.

Black Sails starts slow but is worth every second of slowness, especially if, like me, you're more for the "rip someone's throat out with your bare teeth and howl in ungodly gay rage" kind of queer content than the "nice boys kissing" kind of content.

Speaking of men in boats, the Terror is very very good. Ooh it's very good.

And hey, while we're talking Jared Harris (as I often am), Chernobyl was also very very good! Also made me cry, unsurprisingly.

If these feel a little heavy, RTD-era Doctor Who is my go-to comfort telly! I was once in the middle of bad depressive episode and had been sitting on the sofa crying in front of Gilmore Girls for a good few hours when I realised I was too sad for Gilmore Girls, and had to stop mid-episode to watch the Agatha Christie episode of 10ant/Donna to actually calm down. Don't talk to me about Steven Moffat.

And finally, if you're at all into Star Wars then I really recommend the Clone Wars! The first season is a little janky but it's good craic and also has lots of my favourite and best boy, Darth Maul, a man who is kept alive purely by homosexual rage and, for a brief time, robot spider legs.

i go through these cycles of watching almost nothing but horror movies, and then i stop bc despite me being fine while watching them, i get wildly freaked out later. and then i forget about horror as a genre almost completely. and then something reminds me that i like horror and the cycle repeats.

Okay but you guys don't understand: Jenny Slate, my voiceclaim for Kitty, ( a comedian, by the way ) revealed here that she was invited to audition for Pennywise the Clown from the IT films and I'm losing my fucking mind,

[lovebecomeshim]

im so torn in this show because there are changes I love and changes I really don’t but mostly I just want to *feel* some tension you know??

[cursemewithyourkiss]

Like a hundred different people in the tags of my poll who think they're so Special and Unique for having seen none or only a few of the films 🙄 cool. I don't care
