every time i rewatch the miracle aligner music video i am just flabbergasted. FLABBERGASTED. like. they really chose to make it like THAT. and by 'like THAT' i am specifically referring to:
1) “an attempt to extract the truth... approximately" *cue rosepetals and intense eye contact*
2) THIS being the opening shot of the two of them
3) miles legitimately spending the first minute of the entire video blatantly checking alex out
4) literal rainbow lighting around them
5) endless hand holding and twirling
6) that moment where miles's hand reaches ever so reflexively for alex's neck
Today on this scene inspired this other scene in Good Omens:
We have The Time Machine (1960) and The Book (episode 2 of season 1).
General plot of the film:
Time Machine is a 1960 American period post-apocalyptic science fiction film based on the 1895 novella of the same name by H. G. Wells. It was produced and directed by George Pal, and stars Rod Taylor, Yvette Mimieux, and Alan Young. The story is set in Victorian England and follows an inventor who constructs a machine that enables him to travel into the distant future. Once there, he discovers that mankind's descendants have divided into two species, the passive, childlike, and vegetarian Eloi and the underground-dwelling Morlocks, who feed on the Eloi.
Sadly I cannot link the original tweet anymore because Douglas’ account is no longer there. But I did screenshot it beforehand.
Here is a side by side comparison of the scene in the film that inspired that scene of Aziraphale reading the book and “the cocoa doth [grew]cold”.
Pay special attention to how things move outside of the windows! That is the most important bit. And of course the relation to time and how the person doing the action is almost static, whereas all around is rapidly changing.
Film trivia:
When George's guests leave for their New Years activities, it is clearly daylight. The clocks in the room said 6:05 pm. Sunset in London on December 31, 1899 was at 4:01 pm. It would have been dark outside. (This is when he is first trying his machine).
Luckily in Good Omens when Aziraphale dashes back into the bookshop, it is dark outside and thus finishes reading when it is light again.
For another this scene inspired this scene: about The Bishop’s wife.
Here's something a little different- ZAGR! haha this is low key also a fave of mine. I think they would love playing video games together, bugging Dib, and acting out Musicals together! This time they're doing phantom of the opera 😌 also enjoy my zim's human disguise lol
In fact: they're not actually flirting here, just acting out a part, but Dib does not like the Vibe. They're too close! Arms wrapped around each other! ITS ZIM AND HIS SISTER!!! ....Zim and Gaz have no idea what he's going on about. (Dib wouldn't be as bothered if it was someone human for sure- he's definitely WAY more protective if it's Zim's getting involved with his sister)
this started a long long time ago when I made a joke about how sega should put ringo in more dresses, and then my friend reminded me that oh yeah!! I can do that instead!!! and then one thing led to another and we joked about punk ringo and I drew that too. using ringo like a dressup doll is so cathartic it's kinda crazy
some bonuses (original designs, timelapse) under the cut bc I like these designs!! I might do some more with them!! please disregard the band poster in the first second of the timelapse that's something else!!!
watching these adult right-wing bozo dudes write/film giant reviews about how the Barbie movie is an anti-man hate campaign is so funny. I don't even have a take other than it's the fucking Barbie movie. Ben Shapiro paid for a ticket to see the Barbie movie and then he bought some Barbie dolls and set them on fire (!) on camera because he was offended about poor Ken not becoming president of Barbieland or whatever. It's the Barbie movie. It's the Barbie. Movie.
These guys paid to see it. The whole pink Barbieworld is an evil matriarchy (because there are no male presidents) and it will corrupt young girls against motherhood because of the opening scene THE BARBIE MOVIE! HATES MOTHERS! They sat in those theatre chairs on opening night between the girls and the gays and the glitter and the pink and watched Ryan Gosling slide down a pink doll house slide. I saw someone comment how this movie will 'produce another generation of broken people'. They watched the giant beach fight and now they say this movie will teach little girls to hate men. It's the Barbie movie. It's the Barbie movie.
It's the Barbie movie. It's the Barbie movie. It's the Barbie movie. It's the Barbie movie. It's the Barbie movie. It's the Barbie movie. they PAID to SEE it and honestly, being hated by podcast losers is free advertising for Mattel's and Barbie's attempt at feminist signalling.
It's the Barbie movie. It's the Barbie movie. It's the Barbie movie. It's the Barbie movie. It's the Barbie movie.
whyyyy do some people care so much about their dog’s gender presentation 😭😭 the dog doesn’t care if she gets misgendered why does it matter this much to u i don’t get itttt
