Vinegar Syndrome / Distribpix Press Release: A Home Video Merger of Epic Proportion

Bridgeport, Connecticut - Vinegar Syndrome is excited to announce an exclusive distribution partnership with legendary NYC-based exploitation and sexploitation producer and distributor, Distribpix Inc.

This partnership will bring Distribpix’s extensive catalog of close to 300 feature films to Home Video, including countless never on disc titles as well as classic exploitation films from genre masters such as Michael and Roberta Findlay, the Amero Brothers, Joe Sarno, Chuck Vincent, Radley Metzger, Ron Sullivan, and Shaun Costello, among dozens more. Additionally, Distribpix’s unprecedented archive of key 1960s and early 70s exploitation rarities, many of which have been completely unavailable since the VHS and early DVD era, will at last be making their return to disc, all newly restored and presented in the type of deluxe, collector-centric editions that both Distribpix and Vinegar Syndrome are known for creating.

Vinegar Syndrome co-founder Joe Rubin, in describing the collaboration said, “Vinegar Syndrome and Distribpix have worked together before Vinegar Syndrome existed. This venture has been a long time coming and I couldn’t be more excited to be working on preserving, restoring and releasing this collection. So many of the best and most significant sexploitation and early hardcore features were produced by Distribpix and it is an honor to finally be able to consider them part of the Vinegar Syndrome family.”

Head of Distribpix Inc, Steven Morowitz responded “The gang at Vinegar Syndrome is wonderful; they opened their doors and welcomed me into their family. I am honored and grateful for this opportunity and together we are going to produce some absolutely amazing packages. Vinegar Syndrome is the best at what they do, from the highest quality restorations, to top-notch physical releases, so this really is a perfect match and the best spot for Distribpix. Our companies not only thrive on excellent restorations and releasing, but there is a major emphasis on film preservation and archiving, which was equally attractive to me.”

While schedule specifics are still being worked out, Radley Metzger and Gerard Kikoine’s, The Tale of Tiffany Lust (1981), starring Veronica Hart, Vanessa Del Rio, Desiree Cousteau, Samantha Fox, George Payne, and Dominique St Clair, will be making its world 4K UHD and Blu-Ray debut late this summer, while Michael Findlay’s notorious Flesh Trilogy is being prepared for a Blu-Ray release this fall, in partnership with Something Weird Video. Additionally, the Command Cinema line which has been distributed by Distribpix for the last several years will also be joining the Distribpix/Vinegar Syndrome family and will see both Blu-Ray and 4K debuts of producer/director, Cecil Howard’s acclaimed erotica.

This monumental merger coincides with the launch of Mélusine, a new online marketplace for premium home video editions of sexploitation and hardcore cinema primarily produced during both genres’ golden ages: the early 1960s through the late 1980s. In addition to serving as the new retail home for Command Cinema, several other brandings will be launched:

Mélusine, which will serve as the flagship brand, will offer deluxe 4K UHD/Blu-ray combo pack editions of some of the landmark works in hardcore theatrical features, with an emphasis on works by the genre’s most acclaimed filmmakers.

Quality X, the name of which pays homage to what was one of the most esteemed early home video distributors of erotic entertainment, will offer single film Blu-ray editions of standout and hidden gem theatrical hardcore features from around the globe.

Distribpix itself will become home to all things sexploitation, pulling from both Vinegar Syndrome and Distribpix’s vast libraries and ranging from the earliest nudie cuties all the way through the tail end of theatrical softcore. Releases will be single, double and triple feature Blu-rays.  

Finally, Vinegar Syndrome’s acclaimed hardcore feature branding, Peekarama, will continue to offer double feature Blu-rays of hardcore films in all genres.

In keeping with Vinegar Syndrome and Distribpix’s focus on film preservation, releases under all branding will meet the highest standards in presentation quality and the most comprehensive available extras.

The union between the two companies will produce the widest and most diverse catalog of exploitation, sexploitation and classic hardcore features, available on disc anywhere in the world.

Why is ALMOST EVERYTHING on the internet about grief related to death of a loved one?!?! I understand that it’s probably the most common type of grief, but grief in relation to losing a loved one and death isn’t the only type and cause.

Trying to work out if I’m experiencing grief in relation to depression and severe anxiety and I can’t find ANYTHING helpful AT ALL because EVERYTHING talks about “losing a loved one” and “death”. As I don’t relate to this I can’t work out if I’m experiencing symptoms of grief. Why can’t they just talk about grief in relation to your loss, that way it can include all forms and causes of grief?! 😤😤😤

Jus found out that Alex Turner released a solo album, ‘Submarine’ in 2011. The guy on the front of the album, Craig Roberts, was in Young Dracula on CBBC. He played Robin, Vlad’s (Gerran Howell) childhood friend 😂

I’m actually cackling at this, wtf 😂🧛‍♂️ I actually thought that he WAS Alex Turner at first as well 😂

We Watched Our Lives On The Screen

Pairing: Gerard Way x Reader

Genre: Fluff

Summary: Written for Gothtober 2020, Day 3. Prompt: “Ice Queen.”

It’s 2013, and Frozen is the most popular movie in America. You’re a simple movie theater employee, spending your days sweeping up popcorn. But, one day, you find a four-year-old child, alone in the lobby, crying her eyes out. Her reason takes you by surprise - and so does her father, Gerard’s, handsome face. 

You’d been working at the cinema for about six months now. It was a decent job - or, at least, better than the fast food drive-thru that you’d been working at previously. You’d just finished sweeping popcorn up off of the floor of Theater Two. 

Theater Three, according to the schedule in your hand, had just finished a showing of Dallas Buyers Club. So, that one was next on your list. Hopefully, it wouldn’t be too messy. 

As you exited the theater room, and began walking down the hallway, towards the next room you had to clean, something caught your eye. A little girl, in a blue dress, sitting on the floor, by herself. She looked like she was crying. 

“Hey, little one,” you said softly, walking over to her. “Are you okay? Where’s your mommy?” 

“I don’t have a mommy!” the girl snapped. “My mommy’s DEAD!” 

You gasped, rendered speechless by this unexpected response. 

“Bandit!” hissed a masculine voice behind you. “We do not speak to people that way!” 

You turned, and saw a handsome, brown-haired man standing there. You realized that he must be the girl’s father. 

“What have I told you about wandering off?” the man scolded, kneeling down to the girl’s height. “It’s not safe.” 

“S-sorry, Daddy,” the girl sniffled. 

“It’s okay,” the man sighed, giving his daughter a hug. He picked her up, and stood, carrying her. 

“I’m sorry if she was bothering you,” the man frowned. “I’m Gerard, and this is Bandit.” 

“I’m Y/N,” you introduced. “And it’s okay, I just wanted to make sure that she was alright.”

“We were watching Frozen,” Gerard explained, “and she suddenly took off, and ran out of the theater!” 

“E-Elsa’s mommy and daddy,” Bandit sobbed. “Their boat sank….it was scary….” 

“Oh, sweetie,” Gerard said softly, hugging Bandit tighter. 

“I didn’t realize that the opening scenes were so intense,” you said, raising an eyebrow. 

“....We lost her mother, in a boating accident,” Gerard explained. 

“Oh,” you gasped. “Oh, I’m so sorry for your loss.”

No wonder the scene was triggering to her, you thought, frowning. 

“It’s okay,” Gerard frowned. “It was a year and a half ago. I thought taking her to a Disney Princess movie would make her happy….I guess I messed up.” 

“You couldn’t have known!” you assured him. 

Bandit began to cry again. 

“Hey,” you offered, “would some candy from the concession stand make you feel better?”

“C-candy?” Bandit blinked, her tears ceasing for a moment. 

“You don’t have to…,” Gerard began. 

“It’s on the house,” you insisted. You set down your broom, and walked the father and child over to the concessions area. 

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

“Pick whatever you want,” you smiled, spreading a selection of candy out on the counter. 

“Won’t you get in trouble for this?” Gerard asked. 

“Nah,” you shrugged. “The manager on duty owes me a favor. I came in on my day off, yesterday, to cover for a no-show.” 

“Gummy worms!” Bandit selected, pointing to a brightly colored package. 

“Hey, what’s the magic word?” Gerard reminded her. 

“Gummy worms, please!” Bandit corrected herself. You handed the package to her. 

“Daddy, help me open it, please?” Bandit asked politely. 

“Sure,” Gerard nodded, tearing the package open for her. He picked a blue worm out. “Say ‘ah’!”

“Ahh!” Bandit said, opening her mouth wide. Gerard dropped the worm in. 

It’s like feeding a baby bird, you thought, chuckling. You were glad, that you were able to help put a smile, back on the little girl’s face. 

Gerard set the child down, and she sat on the floor, busying herself with her snack. He turned his attention to you. 

“Thank you, for being so kind to us,” Gerard said gratefully. “I’m sorry, that she disrupted your work..”

“No, don’t be,” you shook your head. “I don’t mind at all. She’s a really cute kid.” 

“Thank you,” Gerard joked, “I made her myself.”

“She takes after you,” you blurted. 

Gerard blushed. You hadn’t meant to say this out loud, but it was true. She’d inherited his silky, brown hair, and soft, pale skin. It looked so….touchable. 

What are you thinking? you chided yourself. Keep your weird DILF fantasies to yourself! 

“....Thank you,” Gerard said again, awkwardly. For a moment, the only sound in the deserted lobby, was Bandit chewing her candy. 

“....I still feel guilty,” Gerard frowned, after a moment. “I should have, I don’t know, Googled the movie before hand, and realized that some of the content, might be upsetting to her.” 

“All the little girls I know love Frozen,” you shrugged. “It’s reasonable, that you would expect Bandit to love it, too.” 

“I just wanted to do something nice for her,” Gerard confessed. “It’s so hard sometimes, being a single dad. There’s nobody there, to help me figure this stuff out.”

“You’re doing your best,” you assured him. 

“It can be exhausting,” he admitted. 

I can’t imagine how hard it must be for him, you thought to yourself. The mother of his child drowned, and now he’s trying to raise a preschooler, all on his own…..

“Well, if you ever need a night off…,” you offered, pulling a business card from your pocket. “I actually do babysitting, as a side gig. I’m CPR certified, and everything.” 

“Oh, thank you,” Gerard said gratefully, taking the card from you. “I might actually take you up on that sometime. I just call this number?”

“Yeah,” you nodded. “If I’m not working the late shift here, I can even keep her overnight, if you want.”

“What if….,” Gerard said hesitantly. “No, never mind.”

“What?” you pressed. “What were you going to say?”

“My brother Mikey, has been bugging me for a while,” Gerard mumbled, embarrassed. “He keeps telling me, it’s been over a year now, since you lost Lindsey. You need to get back out there, and try to start dating again.” 

“Not if you’re not ready!” you said quickly. “If you need to more time, to mourn her, that’s completely understandable…”

“I think I’ve mourned enough,” Gerard said sadly. “The house….it’s too big, for just Bandit and me. Once I put her to bed at night, it’s just me, alone with my thoughts. It can be so depressing, and lonely. I can’t sleep at night. I wish I had somebody by my side, to encourage me, and give me a hug, and..”

“I’d hug you,” you said, without thinking. You and Gerard, both blushed. 

“So…,” he asked nervously, “would it be alright to call you for, uh, non-babysitting reasons?” 

“Are you saying that you want my number,” you realized, “so you can ask me out on a date?”

“Yes,” Gerard said meekly. “I mean, if that’s okay with you.”

“I’d love that,” you smiled. 

“Really?” Gerard grinned. “A lot of people...they lose interest in me, when they find out I have a kid. But, she already likes you, I think, so…”

“I like her, too,” you chuckled. “I like both of you. I would love to go out with you, Gerard.”

“When’s your next day off?” Gerard asked considerately. “I know retail hours can be all over the place, plus you have that second job, as a sitter…” 

“Tomorrow,” you replied. 

“Tomorrow?” Gerard repeated. 

“Yes,” you laughed. “....I’ll see you then?” 

“Absolutely,” Gerard flushed. “I’ll hire a sitter, that isn’t you, and we’ll paint this town red.”

5 underrated Richard Donner movies you need to see

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Richard Donner will forever be remembered as the filmmaker who created the blueprint for the modern superhero blockbuster with 1978’s Superman starring Christopher Reeve.

Yet that doesn’t tell even half the story of the Bronx-born filmmaker’s brilliant filmography.

Donner was in his late 40s by the time Superman came along, having made a name for himself in Hollywood two years earlier, with 1976’s suitably terrifying The Omen.

Prior to that, he was a budding director making the transition from the small screen to the world of cinema. Donner worked on everything from Gilligan’s Island to The Twilight Zone. Even then, it was clear he was destined for bigger things though, as anyone who saw  “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet”, the iconic episode of The Twilight Zone he directed, starring William Shatner, can attest.

While a disagreement with producers ultimately saw him walk away from Superman II, the 1980s saw Donner establish himself as an incredibly versatile big budget director capable of handling everything from the epic family adventure fun of The Goonies to the balancing act of action and comedy found within the buddy cop antics of Lethal Weapon.

It was a skillset that drew admiration from the very best in the movie industry, including Steven Spielberg who was among the first to pay tribute to Donner after learning he had passed away, aged 91.

“Dick had such a powerful command of his movies, and was so gifted across so many genres,” Spielberg, who worked with Donner on The Goonies, said.

“Being in his circle was akin to hanging out with your favourite coach, smartest professor, fiercest motivator, most endearing friend, staunchest ally, and – of course – the greatest Goonie of all.”

Donner may not have had the same impact in the 1990s and early 2000s but he still enjoyed major success with the Lethal Weapon franchise and as a producer with movies like Free Willy and X-Men.

More importantly, the other films he made during that period and in the years between some of his biggest hits remain well worth revisiting or seeking out for the first time – starting with these five.

Ladyhawke

Coming hot on the heels of The Goonies and two years prior to Lethal Weapon, Ladyhawke represented another major departure for Donner. A dark medieval fantasy, it centred on Rutger Hauer’s mysterious Captain Etienne Navarre and his female companion Lady Isabeau (Michelle Pfeiffer), a pair of star-crossed lovers on the run from a vengeful bishop who has placed a demonic curse on their heads. While Navarre transforms into a wolf by night, Isabeau exists as a Hawk by day. Teaming up with petty thief Philippe Gaston (Matthew Broderick) they embark on a quest to overthrow the evil bishop and break the spell.

Something of a passion project, Donner had attempted to get Ladyhawke off the ground several times before finally getting the green light from Warner Bros and 20th Century Fox in the mid ’80s. The film then suffered another setback when Kurt Russell, originally cast as Navarre, dropped out during rehearsals. 

That ultimately proved a blessing in disguise with Hauer going on to deliver arguably his best performance since Blade Runner. Not everything about Ladyhawke works – Broderick’s character feels a little too close to Ferris Bueller while the runtime could be trimmed down – but it remains a beautifully realised fantasy epic, full of memorable action set pieces, stunning cinematography and a spellbinding turn from Pfeiffer.

A box office bomb upon release, Ladyhawke has stood the test of time too, garnering a cult following as an authentic and fresh take on the sword and sorcery formula. 

Maverick

Maverick is the film Will Smith must have hoped Wild Wild West would be; a funny, clever action comedy based on a classic TV show. Coming in an era when most westerns were deadly serious, Donner’s film also felt like a breath of fresh air and benefited hugely from a masterful William Goldman script that was both witty and unpredictable.

The latest in a series of films featuring Donner’s muse-of-sorts, Mel Gibson, this time out Mel plays Bret Maverick, a brilliant card player and equally impressive con artist trying to collect enough money to earn a seat at a high-stakes poker game. Along the way he is forced to contend with a fellow scammer in the form of Jodie Foster’s Annabelle Bransford as well as lawman Marshal Zane Cooper, played by James Garner, who starred in the original TV series.

While the glut of cameos from country music stars and the likes of Danny Glover can be a little distracting, there’s something wonderfully charming about Maverick with Gibson, Foster and Garner all on top form and boasting an undeniable chemistry that helps keep things entertaining. 

The climactic poker game which sees Maverick face off against Alfred Molina’s psychopathic Angel is also expertly handled by Donner, who cranks up the tension as Maverick reveals his final, decisive, hand with a slow-motion toss of the final card towards the camera. A critical and financial success, Maverick has been largely lost in the shuffle since its release but should be sought out.

Conspiracy Theory

There’s something strangely prescient about Conspiracy Theory given the current predilection for such thinking on the internet at large. One of Donner’s most inventive and intelligent outings alongside Gibson, this time out Mel plays Jerry Fletcher, a New York City cab driver with a penchant for paranoid conspiracy theories.

Jerry’s life takes a turn for the strange when he finds himself being targeted by a set of shady government goons led by Patrick Stewart’s Dr Jonas. He quickly realises one of the conspiracies he has been promoting in his weekly newsletter (this was the ‘90s) is based more in reality than he thought. The question is: which one?

An engrossing thriller featuring Donner’s trademark dashes of witty humour, Conspiracy Theory is bolstered significantly by the presence of the ever-reliable Julia Roberts as a government lawyer with a soft spot for Jerry. Despite a lengthy run time, Donner also keeps the action moving along at an engaging pace while Gibson’s performance is just the right side of manic to keep you rooting for him.

A first foray into the kind of deep state conspiracy thrillers that were commonplace in Hollywood at the time, the film also boasts some genuinely striking moments, not least the sequence where Jerry undergoes “psychotic testing” at the hands of Dr Jonas, which wouldn’t have looked out of place in A Clockwork Orange.

Though it was a hit with audiences, Conspiracy Theory earned mixed reviews but appears increasingly worthy of reappraisal.

Timeline

Some movies are big, dumb but lots of fun. Timeline sits firmly in that category despite what many naysayers would have you believe. It’s a brash, simplistic sci-fi flick to rival the likes of The Core and Geostorm and thoroughly entertaining to boot.

The fact that it features Gerard Butler, as well as the late, great, Paul Walker only adds to that sentiment.

Walker plays Chris Johnston who, along with Butler’s Andre Marek and a team of fellow archaeologists travel back in time through a wormhole to 14th century France to rescue their professor, Dr Edward Johnston (Billy Connolly), who just happens to be Walker’s character’s dad too.

Based on a book by Michael Crichton, Donner had been in the running to direct Jurassic Park a decade earlier and jumped at the chance to adapt Timeline for the big screen. While filming went off without a hitch, Donner repeatedly clashed with Paramount Pictures in post-production and was forced to re-cut the film three times in a development that saw the release date pushed by nearly a year. The resulting edit did not sit well with Crichton either, who disliked it so intensely he stopped licensing his work for a few years after.

Whether Donner’s original cut would have earned better reviews or Crichton’s approval remains to be seen but what remains of Timeline is still a well shot, enjoyable sci-fi yarn with some neat medieval action flourishes. 

16 Blocks

Donner’s final film also ranks among his most unappreciated. On the surface, 16 Blocks sounds like the perfect fodder for a game of buddy cop movie bingo.

It stars Bruce Willis as Jack Mosley, a worn-out NYPD Detective with a drinking problem tasked with transporting Mos Def’s trial witness Eddie Bunker to court. Problems arise when some of Jack’s fellow officers arrive to kill Eddie and prevent him from testifying. Eager for redemption, Jack decides to take the would-be assassins on and get Eddie to court on time.

A formulaic enough premise, 16 Blocks is emboldened by the fact it plays out in real-time with Eddie required at the courthouse by no later than 10am. In this sense, Donner found himself in new territory with an action thriller that thrives on a unique sense of urgency. 

While the filmmaker is no stranger to the action formula, this setup sees him imbue events with a renewed sense of chaos, as Jack and Eddie fight their way through armed adversaries, busy crowds and bustling traffic, all against a cacophony of shouts, car horns and gun blasts.

Ostensibly a chase movie on foot rather than four wheels, the action traverses 16 blocks in 118 minutes and rarely lets up for a second with Donner proving a dab hand at balancing the action with the engaging back-and-forth between Willis and Def who are both understated yet effective throughout.

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

Throw in the ever-watchable David Morse as the leader of the shady cops baying for Eddie’s blood and you have arguably one of the most underrated action thrillers of the early 2000s

February 19, 2021: The Phantom of the Opera (Review)

44%. And that is generous as SHIT.

Oh, I’ll break it down, but I just wanted to get that out of the way now. FUCK this movie, it’s goddamn terrible. I swear, Joel Schumacher is not my filmmaker, holy SHIT. Genuinely severely disliked this movie. Girlfriend was harsher (as she often is with movies), and gave it a 40%. Here she is after seeing it.

Ravishing. Anyway, yeah, this movie was genuinely kind of terrible. And that’s actually nothing against the musical itself. Just like Tom Hooper’s Cats, which I say in theaters, I’m sure the stage musical is legitimately better than...this. And I’ll explain my issues in the Review down below. Recap of this train wreck can be found here and here.

Review

Cast and Acting: 2/10

WHY GERARD BUTLER? SOMEBODY TELL ME WHY. He’s bad. He’s BAAAAAAAAAAD. And I’m obviously late to the game on this one, but GODDAMN. HE. IS. NOT. GOOD. Here’s a less-popular take, I think: I don’t like Emmy Rossum either. She’s OK, but she doesn’t quite have the singing chops needed for this role. I’m not convinced that the theatre owners would pass up Carlotta’s singing voice for hers, honestly. Speaking of Carlotta, Minnie Driver‘s extremely over-the-top performance may be the only thing I actually enjoyed about the movie in terms of performance. Can’t say that for Patrick Wilson, whose bad accent and singing didn’t endear me to his performance even a little. Everybody else ranged from mediocre to downright abysmal. And I’m not one to badmouth people, but they should NOT have been cast in this movie. Oh, and the chemistry, between two couples in this movie? BOUGHT NONE OF IT. GODDAMN, THAT SCORE IS GENEROUS, THIS WAS BAAAAAAAD.

Plot and Writing: 4/10

Look, the plot’s OK, but the writing and the way dialogue is handled isn’t. The GF made a point about movie musicals risking being a bastardization of a stage musical, because of the inherent differences between cinema and the stage. And this movie should’ve been a film before it was a musical, that’s for sure. So, who wrote the screenplay? Well, Andrew Lloyd Webber, for one. And while it’s not a bad thing to have the originator of the musical be a major part of the screenwriting process...he’s also not a filmmaker. So his work definitely should’ve been balanced out by his co-writer...Joel Schumacher. We’ll get to Schumacher, but he’s only written one movie that critics like, Car Wash. And while I think there are various reasons for that success, he’s not exactly great at writing musicals...or movies...or directing those movies. What I’m saying is, they REALLY needed another pair of eyes here.

Directing and Cinematography: 5/10

OK, let’s get this out of the way: I don’t like Joel Schumacher. I just don’t. Haven’t seen a film of his that I’ve liked, but I’ve only seen four of them to be fair. Batman Forever and Batman and Robin are guilty pleasures, and you could argue that they’re a take on the Silver Age Batman stories, sure...but they’re still bad movies, I don’t think you can argue that shit. And The Wiz is...OK. It’s OK, but I also don’t think that you can argue that it’s a good movie, or a good adaptation of a stage musical. 

And this movie isn’t much different in terms of direction. But even then, it’s not...terrible. There are some good shots in there, and some competent camera work throughout. Same goes for the shot construction and cinematography. So, why the hell is it so low? Because, well...it’s still pretty goddamn bad. Especially the LIGHTING OH GOD. The lighting in some scenes is just...genuinely terrible. Who did the cinematography, anyway? John Mathieson, who also did...Gladiator. Huh. He won awards for that one. And then...X-Men: First Class, Kingdom of Heaven, Pan, Robin Hood, Detective Pikachu...the next Doctor Strange movie. Wow. Mixed record, there, but some solid cinematography. So, that means that the problem here was mostly the directing, with a splash of cinematography problems as well. Damn, Schumacher, what the hell?

Production and Art Design: 7/10

Actually, this was pretty good, real talk. Yeah, the costume and set designs were solid throughout. This movie looked great! Just didn’t use any of that bombast well. Was it perfect, though? I present to you Gerard Butler’s GODDAMN FACE. Yeah, arguably one of the most important parts of the story, and his face constantly changed from shot to shot. Genuinely bad makeup there. How about Patrick Wilson’s terrible wig? There are problems, is what I’m saying.

Music and Editing: 4/10

Some of you are probably freaking out at that score. Let me explain, though. The music itself is, of course, fantastic, and I’m only talking off one point from it because of the singers and how some of the music is actually used in the film. Could’ve been used better in a few places, is all I’m saying. Ahh, but that’s only one point; what happened to the other 5? Ahem.

FUCK THE EDITING OH MY GOD!!!!! If I can express hatred towards ONE THING more than ANYTHING ELSE in this movie, it’s the GODDAMN EDITING! It is terrible. IT. IS. TERRIBLE. And all I have to say is, WHAT THE FUCK TERRY RAWLINGS? You’re actually a decent editor, and we’ve been you here before, with GoldenEye! That editing was fine, what happened here? I don’t know exactly what happened, but this was his last film. Not because he died, because he passed away in 2019. But dude edited FUCKING BLADE RUNNER!!! This movie’s editing was SO BAD, that it DRIVE THE DUDE INTO RETIREMENT!!! MY GOD.

So, yeah, it’s a 44%.

Look, I really don’t like this movie. It’s a bad movie, and not in a “so-bad-it’s-good” way. It’s just bad. It’s just...BAD. And I was gonna watch another musical after this, but...no, I need a break. What else is on my list? I need something good, something acclaimed, something...romantic, for God’s sakes. And maybe...something familiar?

#Catherine Deneuve Portrait

Cannes 1984 

Contax RTS  Carl Zeiss T* Tessar 200mm f/3,5 Agfapan 100

Catherine Fabienne Dorléac (born 22 October 1943), known professionally as Catherine Deneuve , is a French actress as well as an occasional singer, model and producer, considered one of the best European actresses and the greatest French actress of all time.. She gained recognition for her portrayal of icy, aloof and mysterious beauties for various directors, including Luis Buñuel, François Truffaut and Roman Polanski. In 1985, she succeeded Mireille Mathieu as the official face of Marianne, France's national symbol of liberty. A 14-time César Award nominee, she won for her performances in Truffaut's The Last Metro (1980), for which she also won the David di Donatello for Best Foreign Actress, and Régis Wargnier's Indochine (1992).

Deneuve made her film debut in 1957 and first came to prominence in Jacques Demy's 1964 musical The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. She went on to star in such films as Repulsion (1965), Donkey Skin (1970), Belle de Jour (1967), Tristana (1970) and The Young Girls of Rochefort (1967) opposite her sister, the actress Françoise Dorléac. She was nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Actress for Belle de Jour, and the Academy Award for Best Actress for Indochine. She also won the 1998 Volpi Cup for Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival for Place Vendôme. Other notable English-language films include The April Fools (1969), Hustle (1975), The Hunger (1983) and Dancer in the Dark (2000).

Deneuve was born Catherine Fabienne Dorléac in Paris, the daughter of French stage actors Maurice Dorléac (1901–1979) and Renée Simonot (b. 1911). Deneuve has two sisters, Françoise Dorléac (1942–1967) and Sylvie Dorléac (born 14 December 1946), as well as a maternal half-sister, Danielle, whom their mother had out of wedlock in 1937 with Aimé Clariond, but who was later adopted by Maurice and took his surname. Deneuve was her mother's maiden name, which she chose for her stage name, in order to differentiate herself from her sisters. Deneuve attended Catholic schools .

Deneuve made her film debut with a small role in André Hunebelle's Les Collégiennes (1957) with her younger sister Sylvie Dorléac who, like their older half-sister Danielle, was an occasional child actress. She subsequently appeared in several films for director Roger Vadim as well as in L'Homme à femmes (1960), which caught the eye of Jacques Demy, who cast Deneuve in his 1964 musical Les Parapluies de Cherbourg, the film that brought her to stardom. Deneuve played the cold but erotic persona, for which she would be nicknamed the "ice maiden", in Roman Polanski's horror classic Repulsion (1965), reinforcing it in Luis Buñuel's Belle de Jour (1967), and reaching a peak in Tristana (1970).Her work for Buñuel would be her most famous .

Further prominent films from this early time in her career included Jean-Paul Rappeneau's A Matter of Resistance (1966), Demy's musical Les Demoiselles de Rochefort (1967) and François Truffaut's romantic thriller Mississippi Mermaid (1969). Deneuve remained active in European films during the 1960s and 1970s, though she limited her appearances in American films of the period to The April Fools (1969), a romantic comedy with Jack Lemmon, and Hustle (1975), a crime drama with Burt Reynolds. Her starring roles at the time were featured in such films as A Slightly Pregnant Man (1973) with Marcello Mastroianni and Le Sauvage (1975) with Yves Montand.

In the 1980s, Deneuve's films included François Truffaut's Le Dernier métro (1980), for which she won the César Award for Best Actress, and Tony Scott's The Hunger (1983) as a bisexual vampire, co-starring with David Bowie and Susan Sarandon, a role which brought her a significant lesbian and cult following, mostly among the gothic subculture. She made her debut film as a producer in 1988, Drôle d'endroit pour une rencontre, alongside frequent co-star Gerard Depardieu.

In the early 1990s, Deneuve's more significant roles included 1992's Indochine opposite Vincent Perez, for which she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress and won a second César Award for Best Actress; and André Téchiné's two movies, Ma saison préférée (1993) and Les Voleurs (1996). In 1997, Deneuve was the protagonist in the music video for the song N'Oubliez Jamais sung by Joe Cocker. In 1998 she won acclaim and the Volpi Cup at the Venice Film Festival for her performance in Place Vendôme. In the late 1990s, Deneuve continued to appear in a large number of films such as 1999's five films Est-Ouest, Le temps retrouvé, Pola X, Belle maman, and Le Vent de la nuit.

In 2000, Deneuve's part in Lars von Trier's musical drama Dancer in the Dark alongside Icelandic singer Björk was subject to considerable critical scrutiny. The film was selected for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. She made another foray into Hollywood the following year, starring in The Musketeer (2001) for Peter Hyams. In 2002, she shared the Silver Bear Award for Best Ensemble Cast at the Berlin International Film Festival for her performance in 8 Women. In 2005, Deneuve published her diary A l'ombre de moi-meme ("In My Own Shadow", published in English as Close Up and Personal: The Private Diaries of Catherine Deneuve); in it she writes about her experiences shooting the films Indochine and Dancer in the Dark. She also provided the voice role of Marjane Satrapi's mother in Satrapi's animated autobiographical film Persepolis (2007), based on the graphic novel of the same name. In 2008, she appeared in her 100th film, Un conte de Noël.

Deneuve's recent work includes Potiche (2010) with frequent co-star Depardieu, Beloved (2011), alongside former co-stars Ludivine Sagnier and Chiara Mastroianni, the popular French adventure comedy Asterix and Obelix: God Save Britannia (2012) with Gerard Depardieu and Valérie Lemercier, screenwriter and director Emmanuelle Bercot's On My Way (2013), Palme D'or winning writer/director Pierre Salvadori's comedy drama In the Courtyard (2014), and André Téchiné's drama In the Name of My Daughter (2014). In 2017, she co-starred alongside Catherine Frot, in writer/director Martin Provost's French drama The Midwife, which has been acquired by Music Box Films for a summer 2017 distribution in the United States.

Deneuve appeared nude in two Playboy pictorials in 1963 and 1965. Her image was used to represent Marianne, the national symbol of France, from 1985 to 1989.[citation needed] As the face of Chanel No. 5 in the late 1970s, she caused sales of the perfume to soar in the United States – so much so that the American press, captivated by her charm, nominated her as the world's most elegant woman. In 1983, American Home Products retained her to represent their cosmetics line and hired world-renowned photographer Richard Avedon to promote its line of Youth Garde cosmetics, for which she famously proclaimed, "Look closely. Next year I will be 40."

She is considered the muse of designer Yves Saint Laurent; he dressed her in the films, Belle de Jour, La Chamade, La sirène du Mississipi, Un flic, Liza and The Hunger. In 1992, she became a model for his skincare line. In 2001, she was chosen as the new face of L'Oréal Paris. In 2006, Deneuve became the third inspiration for the M•A•C Beauty Icon series and collaborated on the colour collection that became available at M•A•C locations worldwide in February that year. Deneuve began appearing in the new Louis Vuitton luggage advertisements in 2007. Deneuve was listed as one of the fifty best-dressed over 50s by the Guardian in March 2013. In July 2017, Deneuve appeared in a video campaign for Louis Vuitton entitled Connected Journeys, celebrating the launch of the brand's Tambour Horizon smartwatch, which also featured celebrities, including Jennifer Connelly, Bae Doona, Jaden Smith and Miranda Kerr.

In 1986, Deneuve introduced her own perfume, Deneuve. She is also a designer of glasses, shoes, jewelry and greeting cards

Deneuve speaks fluent French, Italian and English and has some knowledge of Spanish, though she does not speak the language fluently. Her hobbies and passions include gardening, drawing, photography, reading, music, cinema, fashion, antiques and decoration.

Deneuve has been married once, to photographer David Bailey from 1965 to 1972. She has lived with director Roger Vadim, actor Marcello Mastroianni,cinematographer Hugh Johnson, Spanish model and current television presenter Carlos Lozano, and Canal+ tycoon Pierre Lescure.

Deneuve has two children: actor Christian Vadim, from her relationship with Roger Vadim, and actress Chiara Mastroianni, from her relationship with Marcello Mastroianni. She has five grandchildren.

Deneuve is close friends with the artist Nall and owns some of his works.

On 6 November 2019, BBC News reported that Deneuve suffered a mild stroke and was recuperating in a Paris hospital. Despite the health scare, there was no damage to her motor functions. Five weeks later, she was released from the hospital and spent the remainder of 2019 recuperating at her Paris home.

Nerd - Gerard Way x Reader

Request: Hi! I miss you 💕💕 When you're back, could you write about Dallon or Gerard meeting a nerdy reader? She is out with friends, and sarcastically says sth like "yeah, 'cause a girl who daily references LotR, Doctor Who and other stuff is every guy's dream." He overhears, and starts: "Actually..." Thanks and have a lovely holiday ✨✨✨😉

Reader: female

Warnings: fandom references, many of them

Word count: 1 843

Even though it was one of the bars in town that was on the fancier side, people still dressed pretty normally. At least the guys did. But most of the females in the room were wearing skirts and dresses that seemed to be several numbers too small so short that you wondered how they sat down without the skirt riding up so far that too much skin was exposed. But maybe that was the whole point. You did not really know much about these things. The only thing that you knew was that people did not like it when you said that their skirts were shorter than those of the uniform dresses in Star Trek OS. So you kept that comment to yourself, while you pulled on the sleeves of your cropped “Wings of Freedom” jacket, the latest treasure in your collection of merchandise.

Going out with your friends was never as easy as you would have liked. They were, just like the other women in the bar, dressed in these terribly tight clothes, and you, dressed in a soft, fitting, dark shirt with a tiny TARDIS pattern, some skinny jeans, sneakers, said cropped jacket, and an Evening Star necklace, stood out like a torch in a dark forest.

You knew your friends did not mind. They had been out with you before, and they knew this was the fanciest you could dress for a relaxed night out. But you had been very aware of the stares from other people in the room, men and women alike.

“(Y/n),” one of your friends called over the small table on which the group was seated, trying to get your attention over the loud music that played on the dancefloor, “spotted anyone you like already?”

You grinned, knowing Grace would absolutely love to set you up. The beautiful girl had braided her curly black hair to the side, wore metallic green eyeliner and a matching dress that sparkled beautifully against her dark skin. You loved how easy it seemed for her to put herself out there, and sometimes you wondered if you could do that too, if you had more self-confidence. After all, the lack thereof was probably the main reason you were hiding behind your merchandise.

Trying to answer her question, your eyes skipped through the room, trying to find the man again who had drawn your attention to himself earlier. Now he was sitting at the bar, a strand of his almost shoulder long, raven black hair brushed behind his ear. He was sipping from what looked like a glass of water, in the other hand holding a pen, and fumbling around with it.

You nodded into the direction of the guy, very well aware that someone as attractive as him could directly look at you, and still not see you.

Grace turned her head, following your eyes, and nodded approvingly.

“He’s cute,” she stated.

You nodded, embarrassedly turning your eyes away.

“Wanna go and talk to him?”

“What? No, no way,” you quickly answered, looking up at her alarmed.

“Alright, alright, chill,” she laughed.

“Hey, would you like to dance?”

A man had approached Grace from behind, the third one this night. You wondered how some girls like Grace seemed to pull people in, while you always seemed to repulse them.

“Sorry, I’m not in the mood right now,” Grace answered friendly but firm, “Later maybe.”

The guy nodded and trotted off again.

“Should we go get some more drinks,” she asked you, motioning to you empty glass, “we could go talk to Mister Mysterious over there as well.”

You groaned.

“Come on, you know how that will go. No offence, but I don’t even have the splinter of a chance with you next to me. Not to mention, that a girl who daily references Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, Doctor Who and other stuff is every guy’s dream.”

You rolled your eyes and shook your head, wanting to add how you talking to that guy would never happen, when suddenly a voice sounded from behind of you.

“Well, actually…”

You turned around, more reflex than anything, and stared up into brilliant hazel eyes. It was the man who you had watched while he had been sitting at the bar, but the conversation with Grace had distracted you, so you had not noticed that he had gotten up. The strand of hair which had been brushed behind his ear had fallen into his face again, and the way he was fidgeting with the pen he was still holding gave away that he was somewhat nervous, which relieved you to a certain degree. Also the fact that he wore a washed out Star Wars t-shirt managed to settle some of your nerves right away.

The conversations around the table had died down, everybody expectantly watching the scene unfold. After all, it was the first time in all the nights they had been out with you, that someone had tried to chat you up.

Honestly, you were at a loss for words. You were not sure if that was because the man in front of you was just seriously beautiful, because all of a sudden you had been approached by someone, or if it was because he had basically said that a nerdy girl like you could be someone’s dream girl. But whatever the reason, you could not find an answer, or just anything to say really; so you sat there, somewhat helplessly, blinking up at him.

The man smiled slightly, apparently not minding your speechlessness.

“Your drink is empty, may I invite you for a new one?”

Before you could even answer, another friend next to you, Carol, encouragingly nudged you, tearing you out of the haze you momentarily been in.

“Oh, yes, that would be great,” you quickly answered, standing up from your chair.

“I’m Gerard, by the way,” he introduced himself, offering you his hand.

“(Y/n),” you replied.

He nodded thoughtfully.

“It fits you,” he decided, before suddenly blushing, realizing what he had said. “Shall we… get drinks?”

He lead you over to the bar, where he found two chairs for the two of you, before he asked what you would like to drink, ordering the same for himself as well.

“So… you are well acquainted with fan culture, I see,” he said, nodding to your clothes.

“Yes, I-“ nervously you reached for the Evening Star necklace, wrapping your fingers around it, “it’s like… I don’t really know, it’s like-“

“A protection from reality?”

You nodded, smiling shyly at Gerard’s comment.

“Yeah, exactly. Just, some worlds to feel safe in, you know, where heroes will always safe the day.”

“I totally feel you,” Gerard agreed, “you should have seen my locker in high school; it was a Lord-of-the-Rings-Star-Wars-Doctor-Who shrine.”

“I’d pay to see that,” you laughed, feeling the nervousness slowly melt away. Gerard seemed to understand you, seemed to get why these fictional worlds were so important to you.

“Fascinating,” he giggled at your response, making you crook your head.

“Was that Star Trek reference intentional,” you wondered, narrowing your eyes at him, making him laugh lightheartedly.

“Take an educated guess,” he challenged, nudging your knee with his.

“You’re a nerd,” you answered, rolling your eyes at him.

“Says the one with the TARDIS shirt,” he defended, laughing.

“Says the one with the two decades old Star Wars shirt,” you kept going, poking his chest.

“Okay, that is true,” Gerard gave in, giggling.

Just in that moment the bar tender brought over your drinks, and Gerard handed you one.

“May the force be with you,” you spoke, raising your glass for him to click his glass against yours.

“And may you live long and prosper,” he winked, gently bumping the glasses together.

The rest of the evening was filled with laughter and chatter about your favorite movies, a heated discussion about the best Star Wars Movie, anecdotes about building light sabers and Stormtrooper uniforms from when you were kids, and too many references to keep up with it (anything ranging from single word exclamations, to page long monologues).

It was well past midnight when both of you decided to call it a night. Your stomach hurt from laughing so much, and Gerard’s hair was completely disheveled from how often he had ran his fingers through it.

Both of you stepped outside into the cold night, and you wrapped your jacket, tighter around your body, feeling the napkin, on which two hours earlier Gerard had written his phone number and a doddle of himself, in your pocket press against your leg.

“So… will you call me,” he asked teasingly, but you noticed how important it was to him.

“I’ll think about it,” you grinned.

“Fantastic,” he nodded, obviously already excited.

“Yeah, yeah, alright doctor,” you laughed.

“Get home safe,” Gerard mumbled, giving you a quick hug that left you slightly blushing.

“You too, see you soon.”

Your flat was not far away, so you used the short walk to calm down from the exciting night. Gerard’s face was burned into your memories, and his giggles still rang in your ears as you walked down the dark streets.

A big illuminated display at the entrance of the cinema that was just down the street from your apartment pulled your attention to it.

“Late Night Showing of the Planet of the Apes”

A crazy idea came to your mind as you pulled out your phone and checked the time; the movie would start in ten minutes, this had to be the universe pulling a prank at you.

Without hesitation you pulled out the napkin, and dialed the numbers which Gerard had scribbled down for you.

“Gerard? It’s me, (y/n). Do you know the Starlight Cinema, five minutes away from the bar?”

Gerard on the other side of the line, agreed eagerly.

“Planet of the Apes in ten?”

“I’ll be there in five, don’t go in without me!”

You giggled at his excitement, hearing how he seemed to start hurrying while hanging up. This was crazy. But maybe you needed a bit of personal crazy in your life; you could not live vicariously through screen heroes forever.

And sure enough, five minutes after you had called him, Gerard came running down the street.

“You really waited,” he cheered, throwing his arm around your shoulder, as if you had known each other since forever. “I want popcorn and we need to share a big coke, but only one straw, so we can accidentally kiss, because you better believe that I won’t let you walk away without kissing you tonight. Because someone who calls me at half two in the morning for a late night showing of Planets of the Apes can’t just walk away like that from me.”

You laughed at his rambling, blushing at his words, but being pretty sure that you would not mind such a kiss. He held the door open for you to slip into the building.

“Okay,” you agreed, “but first we need to buy the tickets, dork.”

“I know, nerd.”

West Coast

Pairing: Mikey Way X Reader.

Warnings: Sexual behavior and heavy kissing but no sex as I don’t write smut.

Summary: The Way family had went to England for summer of the last year of high school. The Way brothers are friends with you and you all had adventures together. Mikey and you decide to go to the beach alone for once and have an unforgettable day.

A/N: This lengthy imagine was based on the song “Sweater Weather” by The Neighborhood. I searched up many meanings of this song and I listened to it loads of times today to come up with this! This took two-three hours to write. Wow, I’m proud with my writing and hope you all will like my first Mikey imagine or would take time to read it at least. I know you’ll be surprised. It’s something different, you’ll find out!

✧༺♥༻✧

It was the last summer of high school. You were in Mikey’s dads rented convertible. The Way family had came for vacation. Mikey had called you, asking to go out to the beach; he knew how much you wanted to go. His family was out to the Cinema to watch some two hour movie.

Smashing Pumpkins was playing through the speakers and onto the streets, as there was no roof.

Before you knew it you were by the beach. You sat on the door of the car looking out into the green distance, a grin on your face. Mikey opened the car door you were sitting on. You let out a light giggle and hopped off the door. From the corner of your eye, you could see Mikey lick his lips. You shut the door and watched Mikey pull the rolled up sleeve of his black sweater down as he stood up. You went around the car to the grass field.

“Hey!” Mikey yelled behind you.

You laughed and started to sprint as fast as you could. You could hear Mikey start to run; it wasn’t long until he caught up to you in his black boots. He wrapped his arms around your waist, touching the bit of skin because of your white frilly crop top and picked you up. You both twirled in the air, he chuckled and you laughed then too. suddenly—you both were falling. Mikey’s gasp had calmed your scream. You started to roll down the hill, Mikey was doing his best to keep himself to not land on you, his arms still around you. You tried to look down but Mikey’s arm had stopped you.

“Mikey!” Worried over him, you said.

A thump sounded as you stopped sliding down the small hill, Mikey’s feet making the sound. He loosened his arm around your chest. You took the advantage to turn your waist around with concern. You looked at the boyish man.

“Oh my god! Are you okay?” You yelled. His mouth was open, eyes half closed or half open. You bit your lip, your eyebrows closer. ���You wouldn’t let me roll over; I was worried for you!”

“I’m… okay,” you crawled lower for he could sit up. He propped his arms up. He lifted his arm, rubbing the back of his head. “I couldn’t let you get hurt.”

“Such a gentleman,” You smiled as his eyes widened. You closed your eyes and pushed yourself away from him. You let out a puff of minty wind from frustration. You looked down, Mikey was silently rubbing his neck. “Are you sure you’re okay?”

“Yes, (y/n).” He said sternly.

You tilted you head to the side. You stretched your arm in front, bending your knees. He looked at your hand curiously then at you.

“Come on.” You said and shook your hand.

He grabbed it grumpy and pulled himself up.

“Don’t be upset,” You said silvery. “We’re at the beach!”

“I hate the beach.”

“You do? We can leave. Let’s go.”

You walked past him but his warm hand grabbed your wrist.

“We can stay a bit.”

He grinned after seeing you smile. You wrapped your fingers around his, pulling him by the side of the beach to walk. He let go. You walked for a bit then turned, you wondered if he was still behind you. He was silent and his smile was too. He was close behind you.

‘He really is a vampire.’

“What?” He shrugged and continued to smile like the Cheshire Cat.

The cold air made you want to hold his warm hand again. A freezing breeze flew past your hair. You pulled your tight dusty rose high waist shorts down.

“It’s cold,” you stated. He looked down. You reached for his hands again. “Don’t pull away,” you whispered.

You let out a mental sigh in pleasure. Blinking with happiness. You stuck your hands in his over-sized sweater. You were surprised to see him wear something big. You looked up into his eyes covered by his glasses. You were so close to him, you could smell his sweet fragrance of his cologne. Then you were on your tip toes, your lips were pressed against his in a collision. You hands in the sleeves of his sweater, gripping his wrists. Urging him to not move away, he was still.

Your peck started to loosen—his hand was free of your light hold; it came up to your cheek, threw your silky hair to the back of your head. He pulled you closer and you stepped forward to press your bodies against each other. Your tongues, urgent, caressed each other in a battle of affection and sexual attraction. Your hands roaming were they want and his tightening painfully on your waist. His tongue was turning with yours, you were out of breathe, just focused on making a reaction out of him. He over-powered your senses, silencing them… pleasing you.

A loud whistle in the distance brought you both out of the trance. He pulled away, you moaned out, eyes shut. The last thing you saw was his reaction to it. The brown haired boy pulled you into a tight hug. You sighed.

“Mikey.”

Your head pressed against his chest; slightly covered by his sweater. The ocean was the only thing you heard in that moment. Eyes opening, you tried to see who whistled. A far away light skinned man was the only one there. He looked afraid that Mikey might do something. Mikey stepped back, pulling you by your arms off of him. He turned his head looking behind him at the man. You stately looked at the weather above. The clouds were turning grey, one in particular took the shape of a bunny. You both turned towards each other.

“It’s going to rain.” You said.

The far away man started to leave you both and Mikey had hidden happiness. He was too far away for Mikey to glare at him, you didn’t know what Mikey did to scare GI away.

“We should leave.”

You nodded and grinned at the boy you had a crush on. He smiled, you took his hand with glee movements, trying to listen up his mood about being at the beach.

“(Y/n)… I don’t hate the beach anymore.” He said turning to you when you were by the top of the hill.

He lifted his hand out to you. He smirked when you took it, walking past him. You twirled towards him when you were standing on top of the choppy grass. He bent and flew himself onto the patchy area. You covered your laugh with the back of your hand.

“I’ll race you to the car.”

You knew you had no chance, you never got A’s in gym class. You were clumsy too.

You nodded, determined.

He started to run, his long legs taking him away. He made it to the car way before you. He laughed at you, teasing you, as you ran to catch up.

Oh, how you wanted him under you whining.

You slowed to a stop. He was leaned against the blue car door, ankles and arms crossed. His worn out blue jeans never looked better. You speed walked around the car to get to the passenger seat. He sprinted to a stop beside you. You looked at him curiously. He opened the car door gently hitting your hip, you jumped in your side. He shut the door, licking his lips and his intense eyes sparkled. He moved away, you looked at your lap. You were combing your hair with your fingers when you heard a door slam.

“Your hairs soft,” he mumbled.

“Your house? We could play video games.”

“Okay.” He took his bottom lip between his porcelain teeth.

The ride to Mikey’s house was quiet, a indie rock song was playing. He turned up the volume. You saw the streets and buildings to houses pass by you. His house was closer to the beach than yours. You had known Mikey and Gerard for one week now and you had a big crush on Mikey, you hoped it wasn’t just sexual attraction with him. But you had flirted with Mikey in the past and Gerard knew you both liked each other, you could see now.

“How’s Gerard?”

He took a breath before answering: “He’s good. He got into art school.”

You smiled.

“That’s great, I’m happy for him.”

You turned slightly towards him.

“It’s still cold…”

“It won’t be.”

You turned your head and could see you were at his house.

The cold gave you goosebumps but his touch made them go away.

You both hoped out. Mikey walked gracefully to the door; you strutting behind him, he flipped the keys in his hand. Meanwhile he unlocked the door you took the time to look up; the clouds were stormy and the rain was beginning to pour. When you looked down the door was wide open.

“Let me put the car in the garage.”

You nodded fast in understanding. Your shoulder brushed against him and the warmth was relaxing again.

“Were should I sit?”

“Anywhere you like.”

You nodded and he walked off, you looked around the hall; his rented house was aesthetic so far. You closed the door and strutted to the living room, you sat on the dark grey couch. The walls were full of bricks except one, it was a black steel lined window. You gripped a pillow and put it on your lap, hugging it.

‘I hope they don’t come back soon.’ You thought. ‘It had just been an hour.’

You clicked on your phone.

‘Yes, an hour.’

“Hey.” Mikey said.

“You scared me.” You said, placing your hand by your heart.

He sat next to you. You put one leg up, facing him. He took a gulp from the water bottle on the wooden table in front of you both. He could see you smiling silly at him from the corner of his eye.

You knew nothing would be the same if Mikey had kissed you again, but the beach did happen. And you didn’t regret it. Not one little bit.

One scene he was half-smiling at you, putting his bottle down; next your back was on the couch. His hand was on the arm chair, holding himself up, his other was holding yours; fingers entwined. You drew him closer with your eyes. Then he kissed you and he bloomed like a peony as you taught him who was the boss tonight; you ruled his mouth, put him off and lured him back… you breathed deeply as the world swayed around you.

One house. Two mouths. One love…

His hand let go of you to lift your head up, reminding you who was on top. Your heart was beating like a frog kicking off Lilly pads. The sound of the pouring rain was added an aesthetic to this scene. And before a floating giddiness spun you round and round, Mikey stopped the passion by tilting his head back. Both of your breathing's went back to normal, he pulled farther away and shifted his hand away from your neck, you touched his. He did something amazing next, you grinned as his index finger advanced to your tongue. You rubbed your bottom lip on his finger. You proceeded to rub the tip of your tongue on the nub of his finger, you barely bit down when he started to put more in. He knew you loved the taste. Grinning, you begin to suck on his finger, slightly circling it. A loud door closing interrupted the tranquility between you both. You both sat up quickly, Mikey arranged the pillows while you were straightening his sweater. Gerard entered the room to find you both comfortably sitting and watching television.

“Did I interrupt something?”

You and Mikey looked at each other.

“No.” You both said.
