We finally arrived in Cuzco, “the heart of America”. Our first day in the city, we met Don Néstor, an old soul, mom, and our official guide.

Diarios de motocicleta (2004, Walter Salles 🇦🇷🇨🇱🇵🇪)

Walter Salles: The little boy in Cuzco, we found him in the streets, or he found us. He came to us and asked if we wanted to know a little bit more about the city and offered himself as a guide. So we said, “Yes, but can we bring the Super16 camera along?” And he said, “Bring whatever you want.” And there it was. That scene, everything is Take 1. Nothing was repeated. (src)

Film & TV I Think About A Lot » The Fits (2015) dir. Anna Rose Holmer

You know it's gonna happen to us. Just thinking about what my sister said, you know? What do you mean? I just... I just wanna know how it feels. Aren't you scared? Yeah, but it doesn't matter. It'll happen to us anyway. It hasn't happened to any of the boys. Yeah, but we're not them.

A mother's word for word transcription of the imaginary phone call her four-year-old made to Santa Claus in 1911.

(source: The Harbor Beach Times, December 22, 1911.)

Through some outrageous case of serendipity I found a recording of another phone call this same child made 60 years later. Though I have to say his choice of conversational partner is a definite downgrade from the first call.

#I've started using 'our bees are all dead' as my standard filler during lulls in conversation #and no I am not kidding #that is actually 64 year old George Arthur Lincoln in the recording #I'm writing up a bio of him that will hopefully be up within a few days #because this kid grew up to be involved in Forrest Gump levels of 20th century historical events #he was the youngest american general in wwii and was involved in the strategy of d-day and the planned invasion of Japan #he was at yalta and potsdam #he started a social sciences department at West Point #which resulted in his students being called commies because why should soldiers study culture and economics instead of shoot gun at thing #he ended up as the director of the office of emergency preparedness while nixon was president - hence the phone call #this poor man had to sit through so many meetings with Henry Kissinger #his younger brother (Waunce from the letter) was also a general #they were known as 'big abe' and 'little abe'

Fandom definition of canon is getting so, so, so janky.

Canon is what happens IN THE WORK ITSELF. Word of God pronouncements and deleted scenes are debatable. But--

Luberto, my beloved, my emotional support ship, my joy of joys, my light in the darkness, still isn't canon.

It's explicitly listed as "unsanctioned fanart." That means NOT CANON. It would be a fun debate to discuss who gets to decide what is or is not canon on a movie with a huge creative team like this, but they're explicity calling it fanart.

Explicity calling it fanart multiple times. On either end of the posts. So you don't get confused. And yes, this is may just be because they're cowering in fear of Disney, but again, they're not attempting to speak for anyone but themself or that they did their part of the work on the film with this intention in mind (I'm sure they did tho lol).

Reposting their fanart, claiming it's Word of God Canon without any context, is a dishonest grab for clicks.

Sorry to be a spoil sport.

The real exciting news, IMHO is that Luca is coming to theaters. I love cute fanart but I wanna see my boys on the big screen and getting some of those movie theater residuals.

#I don't think destiel was canon either until the Latin American dub either ftr #If you confessed your love to someone irl and they blinked at you until you left... You would not say “we are in love we are together”#And I think word of God pronouncements can only come from the screenwriter or director imho #Fandom wank #Luca #Luberto #Pixar luca #post o' mine

Twisters is so funny because we’re first introduced to the corporate sponsored tornado chasers and they’re just…a boring collection of dudes. Totally bland, with barely a single personality between them. And then in come the Tornado Wranglers: the hottest, gayest collection of exuberant fun-loving weirdos you could possibly imagine. And it’s like…gee I wonder who the good guys are.

#twisters #to be clear this rules and is also in the spirit of the original #the scrappy diverse little team of loveable weirdos vs the cold boring corporate assholes is a classic trope #like i too would switch to the fun tornado polycule instead of sticking with the evil guys who suck #i also genuinely love that they’re shown to be Real Americans who support their community and provide disaster relief #sure you could argue it’s propaganda #but tbh I’m all for a blockbuster that promotes community organizing and diversity in the American lifestyle #they’re so inspiring in their desire to help even the British journalist is moved to join them #the director Lee Isaac Chung wrote and directed Minari before this- a film everyone should see #and there’s plenty of connective tissue between that film and twisters (Tyler Owens is explicitly mentioned as being from Arkansas)
