Starting off Pride Month with a first time watch of Howard Hawks' Man’s Favorite Sport? Rock Hudson plays a successful businessman whose respected public persona masks a secret that would destroy his career if it ever came out...
He's a salesman in a sporting goods store specializing in fishing equipment who doesn't know how to fish, what did you think I meant?
Another way that Mihawk’s perfectionism and obsessiveness rears its head is that he wanted Shanks to love him best.
Realistically in terms of people Shanks was probably all Mihawk had and so by default he loved him best but Shanks has so many people an ever growing list of people that he loves and where does Mihawk fall on that list? It’s easy to belive for a long time that he’s at the top. After all it’s him that Shanks keeps crossing oceans for. It’s him that Shanks comes back to again and again testing steel against steel, skin and skin. And things are good
But then Shanks goes to lay low in a little village in the east blue and meets a little boy.
And Mihawk doesn’t even know that he’s “lost” till it’s too late. Until Shanks has already sacrificed an arm and a hat for that boy and how could Mihawk ever compete with that?
And what’s the point of competing if you can’t win? If you can’t be the best?
hinata didn’t even know the score… didn’t know they were at match point. his contagious determination to give kenma the best game of his life prompted kenma to return the favor. to such a degree that it infected both their whole teams. few other rivalries have met the definition of lost in the sauce so thoroughly. happy pride
thinking about kageyama’s “it’s the setter’s job to break the wall in front of the spiker” in reference to how kenma sponsoring hinata while he’s in brazil and onwards is effectively doing that on a financial level. once a setter always a setter.
They are from eons ago and only have paper doodles so here we go. OCs.
Duke goes by the nickname Tab because he's just from a very wealthy family and his friends put things under his name/on his tab with his permission. He's like "I don't care, I'll pay for it." "Oh you want that? I'll buy it for you." But they use it very respectfully and also flat out turn him down sometimes. Lark is his really cool girlfriend.
That's pretty much it! Lark has a younger sister. Tab really likes to wear plaid. That's all I got bye.
A builder who totally understands where X is coming from, collecting all those shinies for Coco, because she also likes shiny things, and has been secretly leaving pretty rocks on Unsuur's porch for weeks now.
Watched 1964s Man's Favorite Sport last night. It's an okay but not great film with a few funny bits (even if one gag was ganked straight out of Bringing Up Baby). There's also a number of scenes that did not age well in regards to racial stereotypes and are very uncomfortable to watch.
I get what they were going for with the 1960s 'Battle of the Sexes' romance film and it depicted women having had sexual agency but this really needed a better script. Much of the film even had me wondering if Prentiss and Perschey's characters were a couple because it really, really seemed that way.
But mostly I loved Paula Prentiss' husky 'I don't know' laugh in this scene as it clearly conveyed 'Don't wait up'. I heard it and went "Oh my GOD...".
Also, Easy's reaction to Abigail's transparent excuse to visit is great.
