STILL BREATHING (1997) dir. James Ford Robinson

[lookwhatilost]

film critics are also completely complicit in this too! when you write these think pieces or articles in the nyt or vulture or vanity fair and are getting hundreds of dollars from disney or warner brothers to write out of your ass, you're the generals leading this culture war.

like. i'm sorry but look at this shit. "Star Wars: The Last Jedi Offers the Harsh Condemnation of Mansplaining We Need in 2017"

That Holdo is kind yet dismissive of Poe only enrages him further. She urges him, for the safety of all concerned, to “stick to your post and follow my orders.” He doesn’t; as a result, many rebels die. Speaking about her character’s stylish-yet-firm leadership, Dern told Vanity Fair: “[Rian is] saying something that’s been a true challenge in feminism. Are we going to lead and be who we are as women in our femininity? Or are we going to dress up in a boy’s clothes to do the boy’s job? I think we’re waking up to what we want feminism to look like.”

One might argue that if Holdo had filled in Poe on her plan—to evade the First Order fleet long enough to get within range of an old base on Crait—Poe would have listened and fallen in line. But to borrow a phrase from Poe himself, this mission was a “need-to-know.” And as soon as a frustrated Holdo and Leia let Poe in on the plan, he blabs about it over the comms to Finn loud enough that Benicio del Toro’s D.J. can hear—and, later, sell them out. If Poe had just listened to Leia and Holdo from the start, the rebel fleet wouldn’t have been quite so decimated by the end of the film. Poe does clearly learn his lesson by the final frames of The Last Jedi—and only then do his admiration for Holdo, his respect for Leia, and his realization of just how much he doesn’t know position him to finally become the leader these powerful women hoped he’d be.

It’s clever for Johnson to have put this story on the very likable Poe. (Both Leia and Holdo are careful to reassure audiences that they, too, like the guy.) We expect dismissive sexism from the First Order (how many times do they refer to Rey as “The Girl?”), but to see it from a friendly face is even more instructive. Any female boss in 2017 or American still nursing the hangover of the 2016 presidential election can tell you that even nice guys often have trouble taking orders from women.

This message—women being largely right, and men being mostly wrong—extends to most but not all aspects of The Last Jedi. Rose Tico was certainly right to insist that Finn stay and fight, and right again to save him when attempts to needlessly sacrifice himself. Rey and Leia were right that Luke should join the resistance. But Luke still has some things to teach his young student. When they fight on the rainy cliffs of Ahch-To over her desperate hope that she can save Ben Solo, Luke is correct in telling Rey that “this is not going to go the way you think.” And in the end, no matter how Poe and Finn may have stumbled—or Holdo, Leia, Rose, and Rey may have triumphed—it’s still Luke Skywalker who gets the film’s big damn hero moment.

why is she making this stupid ass dig about luke skywalker getting a big hero moment? it's one of the few meaningful and interesting things that happens in this movie! "big damn hero moment" is literally a tv tropes phrase that comes from a line from firefly. is she aware that she's making a joss whedon reference lol?

[quasi-normalcy]

A while ago while I was in tumblr jail, you posted that you had a masters in science fiction literature (unless you didn't, I have been known to be mistaken), and I am wondering, what do you consider 'important' works of science fiction? Like the science fiction literary canon? I am so curious. Feel free to ignore, I will not harass you.

Yes! I do. I can tell you the ones that I was assigned (I'm afraid that the list skews extremely male and (especially) white).

Mary Shelley, Frankenstein (1818)

Olaf Stapledon, Last and First Men (1930) and Star Maker (1937) [You can probably add Odd John (1935) to this list]

Jules Verne, Journey to the Centre of the Earth (1864) and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1870) [You can probably add From the Earth to the Moon (1865)]

H.G. Wells, The Time Machine (1895) and War of the Worlds (1897) [Though you can probably go ahead and add The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896), The Invisible Man (1897) and The First Men in the Moon (1901)]

Catherine Burdekin (writing as Murray Constantine), Swastika Night (1937)

Richard Matheson, I Am Legend (1954)

Alfred Bester, The Stars My Destination (1956)

Robert Heinlein, Starship Troopers (1959) [Probably Stranger in a Strange Land (1961) and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (1966) too, depending on, you know, how much of Heinlein's bullshit you can take]

J.G. Ballard, The Drowned World (1962) [Also, The Burning World (1964) and The Crystal World (1966)]

Phillip K. Dick, The Man in the High Castle (1962) [Also Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (1968) and several of his short stories]

Frank Herbert, Dune (1965)

William Gibson, Neuromancer (1984)

Kim Stanley Robinson, Red Mars (1992) [Also Green Mars and Blue Mars]

They also included Iain M. Banks's The Algebraist (2004), but I personally think you'd be better off reading some of his Culture novels

[agentem]

"Paula Fairfield, friend of the pod, who does the dragon noises [on House of the Dragon]. She was saying that when Syrax and Seasmoke first meet each other on the beach there [...] that they were disagreeing over the pronunciation of "foyer". [...] Southern accent vs French accent.

And she said when they are flying over Harrenhal, that Caraxes goes, "IT'S A MUD ROOM!"

-- Joanna Robinson (x)

This is very important information. I am going to assume the dragons are just always debating pronunciation and etymology and such now. Big word nerds. Too bad Sunfyre wasn't there. I hear he speaks English.

[panelshowsource]

Who would you like to see on BFQOTY that has never made an appearance before?

okay i always take these kinds of asks too seriously but pls bare with me!!

when it comes to panel shows there is a spectrum of preparation: on the far left is a show like mock the week, where literally everything apart from a very smol amount of relevant banter is pre-prepared by the panel (they're given the news stories & scenes we'd like to see ahead of time, the standup categories are chosen around their pre-written bits, and so on); and on the other end of that spectrum is a show like big fat quiz, where the only thing you really prepare is potentially a team name. so — to answer this question i'm thinking about people who are very willing and very good at joining in, people who will comfortably banter with jimmy, people who don't always wait their turn to speak (which works better on a show like, say, 8 out of 10 cats). obviously jimmy throws to each team whilst the teams' answers are being revealed, but for the show to really succeed you need a lot more chat and goofing around and camaraderie than that — so who are some of these confident, friendly, funny people?

well let's get this out of the way we need victoria on bfq right? it helps a lot she's irl pals with jimmy so their dynamic is very comfy and she would probably have so much to say about the news or even admonishing the amount of tiktok-related questions LMAO it's great to imagine her with david but also what about team victoria and lee mack?? THE PEOPLE NEED TO SEE IT

nicola coughlan, graham norton, alan cumming, catherine tate (omg catherine and lee...please GOD...), huge davies, get me a doctor let's go jodie whittaker baybay or our man ncuti, would love to see some drag queens like miss lawrence chaney and the viv of course but there are sooo many amazing uk drag stars, kathy burke, ed gamble, morgana robinson, maggie aderin-pocock

get me my man. joe wilkinson. put him with roisin and one white onion

fuck it go big or go home: jennifer saunders and joanna lumley, fry and laurie(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), tennant and sheen (or tennant and tennant frankly georgia ily), the mighty boosh???

wildcard answer jordan north and william hanson? is that just me? i know jordan has done celeb juice a few times and he was great but i also know in my soul william would be fucking good on a panel show, and their friendship is too sweet

cheating but i'd love to see guz khan back on but with a different partner? i fockin love sarah but strategically speaking for lulz imo that year i think it should have ben judi & guz and sarah & jonathan. i understand wanting to change it up and give us new kinds of teams but i don't think those were the people to do it with. also bring back charlie brooker i have charlie brooker withdrawals........ (charlie on wilty in a couple weeks!!! ahhh!!!)

i'd love to see so many people!!! okay i am done with the longest response ever (do you guys ever read these like 'girl just answer the question')! what about you?? who do you want?

[rel312]

What I loved about WWDITS S5 Episode 5 (SPOILERS!!!):

“De Laurentis”

“In that house just over there. With my friends. ‘It’s fun”

“Which I do for my mental health as well as my physical health”

“Not since the great flood in 1892, Joanna. That was a big boy”

Nandor’s having so many gray lines and I’m not even 2 minutes in yet

*Steals mic* “because 1892 was a year that was not in my, uh, human lifespan, but 1992 definitely was” he’s killing me

Nandor whining and running away

“Oh shitty shit I fucked it”

“Shot shit shot shit shit shit shit”

The way Nandor’s voice broke on Guillermo

The way all the vampires are going crazy and jumping to conclusions because Nandor is an idiot

Nandor needing Guillermo’s cause he knows he’s the only one that can fix this

Guillermo’s aunt asking the camera guys if they’re hungry

Guillermo immediately watching when he sees Nandor

His side eye

Nandor trying to hypnotize everyone but getting cut off

Nadja having dyed her hair out of stress

Nadja having go bags for emergencies since she’s had to be kicked out before

“It’s alright, my darling, I’ll protect you. Be calm” Laszlo is so sweet

“He is not back yet is he?” Nandor you are not subtle

The Guide going on TV

Sean screaming being overheard by the news people

“If they don’t go it’ll just be you and I, into the night”

Nandor getting in the bag

Nandor having tried the second bag

The fact that Guillermo constantly has the same conversation with his mom because he doesn’t want to say goodbye

The fact that Nadja dyed the doll’s hair too

Laszlo and Nadja’s teary goodbye

The Guide dying her hair with Nadja

Nandor trying to bring everyone together

Colin Robinson accidentally trapping himself

Nandor throwing the knife to cut him down

“We can survive quite easily without you” he’s so upset Guillermo wasn’t there but that was so uncalled for

Nandor not understanding why Guillermo wanted to leave after that

The vamps in free background of the newscast trying to kidnap Joanna d then immediately losing the car in the sinkhole

Colin Robinson setting the van on fire

The vamps flying on camera

Them all turning into bags and leaving Colin Robinson

The vamps breaking into the news station

Nadja and Nandor continuing the news

The Guide and Joanna in the corner

The blood spatter

Laszlo’s emphasis on “blood”

Guillermo with the booby traps

[gojuo]

man, as much as i dislike calling out people and bringing drama to their table, folks like Joanna Robinson of the Ringer/House of R podcasts who perpetuate this suffocating narrative of criston cole as an incel to such a zealous degree really make me uncomfortable. like, EVERY time she talks about HOTD and mentions criston, there's always this undertone of fanaticism in hating him that veers waaaay too close to racism (at least towards the character) considering that he is one of the only MAIN characters of colors in this show outside of the Velaryons and Mysaria. like, idk if she's doing it as a gimmick and i wanna put more faith in her considering she's one of the more consistent and vocal fans of ASOIAF who has been on several podcasts covering grrm's work over the years.....but man, i think even she has caught as case of media illiteracy ever since HOTD started airing.

she is a white woman with purple hair... i don't mean to stereotype but i do not expect this lady to know or understand or pick up on anything about the intricacies of the insidiously racist portrayal criston has been subjected to. i don't know who this lady is at all nor have i ever watched a got/hotd podcast so i can't speak on her, but if she fanatically hates on cole without sparing a thought on the question of why criston cole was race-bended, without examining and familiarizing herself on the Reel Bad Arab trope, without dissecting the nuances of a lowborn Dornish knight (in an age where Dorne wasn't even a part of the Seven Kingdoms yet) being coerced into sex with the heir of the realm after she forces him into her room and doesn't let him leave .... well then i don't expect much of anything from her at all. and i know then very well what kind of person she is.

[shaahrazad]

Did you read this https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2018/05/emilia-clarke-cover-story

Or are you just believing people's gossip about Emilia and Kit's relationship?

Yes I read that, and who wrote that? Oh yeah… the one called "Joanna Robinson"

Well… who is Joanna Robinson? She is a hollywood writer covering TV and film for Vanity Fair (magazine)

Her job is to write the perfect article about the celebrity, edit it and improve it. She has to work with the actor comfortably, not ask them questions that will upset them, and she talks to the actor's PR team before the interview, and also sends them the questions she wants to ask the actor. The actor's agent advises the actor on how to behave in the interview.

This magazine is very old and important, many people read it. The people in charge of this magazine only care about profits, so they maintain a good relationship with celebrities.

So the writer also wants to keep their job, so they happily agree to the interview with both the celebrity and the PR team. So yoy won't find a writer who risks losing the job or damaging the magazine, so they won't ask questions that corner the celebrity.

This interview was in 2018, when rumors about her relationship with Harington were circulating everywhere. When an actor is the subject of gossip, the PR team immediately steps in, and they work hard to bury it all.

It's not good for her career that she's ending up admitting this to you? I mean think for a moment… does that make sense? So what better way to set things right than to agree with the famous magazine, for an interview.

They just bring up the friendship and how everything is perfect. The rumors are false, they tell a story about friendship, and then everything starts to get better. Well thought out moves by the PR team.

Do you think they Harington and Emilia to end up like Kristen Stewart and Rupert Sanders? There is just a very bold reporter, to investigate the affair, he took pictures of them. And Kristen still for now; talking about her affair with this man, changing her words more than once, so she can get her career back the way it was. But Rupert wasn't so lucky, his career was ruined, and it seems his wife… I mean his ex-wife, wanted to get away from his scandals.

Just think about it….

[hoursofreading]

i read so many great books this year!

for fiction, I loved Stephen King's Fairy Tale and Ann Patchett's Tom Lake. These were the first books I read by both authors. Cried reading The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese. Honorary mention to Galileo's Dream by Kim Stanley Robinson

I can't forget Ferrante's Neapolitan Novels (soo good it deserves a bullet point of its own). I feel this is my first "adult", contemporary novel

learned a lot about applied ethics from: strangers drowning by larissa macfarquahar, my gita by devdutt pattanaik, the universal christ by richard rohr

for nonfiction, I also read Nussbaum's Justice For Animals. Shout out to Katherine Rundell for introducing me to John Dunne's poetry in Super Infinite and Joanna Biggs for introducing me to Ferrante, Hurston, Eliot et all in her A Life of One's Own

[insanityclause]

Do you have an recommendations for YT channels that do Loki recaps/reviews/breakdowns? I watch New Rockstars and just started Heavy Spoilers since I found out that is where MT is now, but some of these others that are popping up don't seems as well done? Like they are just siphoning off info from the 2 I mentioned. I figured if anyone would know the best ones, it would be you.

Jessica Clemons is on the Ringer channel now, so try that. Here's her Loki trailer breakdown. You have to sort through a lot of football videos, though.

Also, Brandon Davis et al are doing breakdowns/reactions on the Phase Zero channel. https://www.youtube.com/@PhaseZero

Ryan Arey on ScreenCrush, but there is definitely some crossover there. https://www.youtube.com/@ScreenCrush

Finally, Joanna Robinson and Mallory Rubin's House of R podcast. They just had a 2-hr tribute to Loki and Tom earlier this week, and will be doing breakdowns. https://open.spotify.com/show/4GyqecnSWZxUGNEUqJNNT7?si=20c631f55cc1482d

Spn Ladies!!!!!

Okay, so there's this blog I really, really like called @bluelikesad and I love their art sm, and they have this one series called "Spn Ladies" that they're doing and I noticed there's no masterpost for it so I decided to make one for them a. so they have it and b. because I love the series and want it on my blog bc it's so good lol. I will update this as they post more to the series ig. All credit goes to Blue for the art <3.

Update: Okay, so I got an anon message saying that it's rude to do this even if you include the artist because it still brings less exposure for the artist, so since I will be removing the pictures for this post for that reason, just go to Blue's blog, and search the tag "#spn ladies" and you will see all the posts for it. Anyways thank you to anon for mentioning this, I didn't even really think about that, and I want Blue to get their full credit and exposure they deserve so thanks! And you weren't being a bitch by saying this btw.

Update #2: I figured out recently how to make links to posts (hence my masterlist) so Imma add the links to Blue's art. Once again, love your art gurlieee!!! (idk if that's your pronouns but I call everyone gurlie and gurl)
