Come on. Just kill me… THE FOLLOWING 1.09

[widowshill]

scientific ranking of all of vicki's boyfriends and girlfriends

1. roger collins canon status: 6/10 they are the moment. collinsport's own jane eyre reenactment in a 1960's feudal sardine empire, complete with lovely arsonist wife. they're soulmates. he might be her uncle (?). it's true love. it's workplace harassment. they're fated to be together. they're doomed. they're entwined but never joined. they're marrying other people. they're mimicking each other's dialogue. they went on two dates and they both sucked. she's the adoptive mother to his (?) child. he tried to fire her 2 million times. they never even kissed once. they got stuck in a cabin together in the middle of a storm. he gives her away at her wedding. he can't stand to see her married. she is one of the few people in this world that he finds worth caring about.

2. burke devlin (mitch ryan) canon status: 10/10 he's dangerous he's mysterious he's tall dark and handsome and he did not hit that guy with his car. he's an oil baron. he's an ex convict. he's a millionaire. he's roger collins' ex-boyfriend. he's going to set out to destroy everything but oh god not her he would never let anyone touch her. one of the few people who actually takes her bodily safety seriously and moves heaven and earth to rescue her (repeatedly). two poor kids from the wrong side of the tracks arrive in the same train car from new york to collinsport. one of them already knows the underside of the collins' heel and the other one is about to and he can't convince her to get out. he wants to wreck the collins name she wants it as her own but they're both too-well wrapped up in the myth to leave it.

3. carolyn stoddard canon status: 2/10 girlfriends. that's all i can say. i just think they are very much adorable and they do score points on the canon scale, remotely, for such subtle lines from Carolyn as: "Just what the doctor ordered to keep the wind from ruffling your dark and gorgeous hair," and "Here, alone with you, I can't pretend." never mind their sleepovers in vic's bed hanging out in their nightdresses. carolyn would sooner own up to having a crush on her uncle than having a crush on a woman because this is upper crust maine in the 1960's but listen ... for a character who enjoys flirting for fun but gets extremely anxious about settling down and marrying a man, who prefers the most distant, unobtainable men that she has no reasonable chance of actually ending up with (roger case in point), who gets jealous every time vicki is with someone no matter who it is ... maybe she does like men too, but let's investigate mama let's research. with the governess, preferably. (who could maybe be her half sister? see no. 1)

4. maggie evans (blonde wig) canon status: 0/10 i'll be honest with you all this one is purely vibes but the other boyfriends suck so she still gets to place ahead of them. don't tell me maggie's not looking at her in exactly the same way she looks at joe when she's eyeing him up as her next man. she got straighter when we lost the blonde wig but this entire counter scene in e1 is one long flirtation session and for however many episodes she keeps the wig i believe very strongly there's a devastatingly homoerotic female friendship developing. i'm not immune to the short hair blonde long hair brunette wlw aesthetic i'll admit. as i said vibes only but just trust me. y'all fw cartinelli? ok. well.

5. frank garner canon status: 10/10 i'm glad you were very helpful during the laura arc frank but i'll be honest you bore me to tears why are you even here. he's got the personality of wonder bread and he's in the wrong genre he should be arguing cases on bachelor father or solving hardy boys mysteries or something i truly do not know. these two together just means bouncing all our lawful good off each other and it self perpetuates into nothing interesting at all. they're not even maybe related! maybe if we continued further with the betty hanscombe story and he found some damning revelation about vicki's parentage he'd have something fun to contribute to the plot but as things stand he's just a duller ivy league version of joe and if we're gonna have an all-american boyfriend i'd rather she just date mr haskell.

6. burke devlin (anthony george) canon status: 10/10 you may think that he cannot have possibly fallen from 2nd to 6th with a recast ... surely not ... but you would be wrong. i give vic props for domesticating him but he's lost all his panache in his full-time role as romantic interest, and now he doesn't even look like handsome squidward anymore :( like frank, this version of burke is much too obviously a safe choice, where the original allure of burke is the fact that she wants him despite the enmity between him and the collins family, his destructive tendencies, his jawline ... I do give him props for going to extreme lengths to make her happy, not only in their personal relationship, but her overall circumstances, and the other things that matter to her. you're not last but i wasn't sad when the plane crashed either :/

7. barnabas collins canon status: 8.5/10 is this a real relationship ... i don't really know. i'm not sure the participants know. barnabas thinks it is and i guess they were technically engaged to be married at some point but that's only towards the goal of using her to vividly hallucinate his dead girlfriend so does that count. I will say in their favor it was extremely funny that she had to drive the getaway car for her own kidnapping/elopement/vamp enthrallment because he can't drive. honestly that was the only part of this whole situation i enjoyed. also when she married jeff and he sighed and put his head in his hands he was real for that. they're actually pretty compatible and would be amazing friends ... or like, they could host a podcast together, or something. not this.

8. jeffpeter clarkbradford canon status: 10/10 such a shitty boyfriend that roger collins opened his third eye to warn her that marrying him is the greatest mistake of her life. his only job in the entire world is to make sure that vicki does not hang for witchcraft and he fails multiple times. possibly the most annoying man on the planet. what if we gave a ken doll the personality of a republican congressional aide and he's played by an actor that is reviled by his castmates. comes to the future on the power of wanting to fuck vicki i guess and to spite me, specifically, who's very tired of seeing him, and makes her have a car accident where she could have died. kisses reincarnated french serial killers in the yard days before their big wedding. leaves her at the altar to go play in the dirt in the graveyard. later marries her in a shotgun ceremony at 3 in the morning and then vanishes back into The Past. after literally driving her to suicide, takes her to be with him in The Past where she hangs, again, and then dies off the cliff. TOMATO TOMATO TOMATO TOMATO.

Ryan O'Neal and Marisa Berenson in Barry Lyndon (Stanley Kubrick, 1975)

Cast: Ryan O'Neal, Marisa Berenson, Patrick Magee, Hardy Krüger, Steven Berkoff, Gay Hamilton, Marie Kean, Murray Melvin, Leonard Rossiter, Leon Vitale. Screenplay: Stanley Kubrick, based on a novel by William Makepeace Thackeray. Cinematography: John Alcott. Production design: Ken Adam. Film editing: Tony Lawson.

I've never shared in the enthusiasm that many people have for Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon, which placed at No. 59 on the most recent critics' poll by Sight and Sound of the Greatest Films of All Time. It is undeniably one of the most visually beautiful films ever made, its images intentionally echoing works by Hogarth, Reynolds, Romney, Gainsborough, and other 18th-century artists. But it seems to me to have a vacuum at the center: the rather uninvolved performance that Ryan O'Neal gives in the title role. Scenes are stolen from him right and left by such skilled character actors as Patrick Magee, Hardy Krüger, Steven Berkoff, Murray Melvin, Leonard Rossiter, and Leon Vitale. This detachment of the titular character seems to be part of Kubrick's plan to de-emphasize the story's drama: He even provides a narrator (Michael Hordern) who gives away the plot before it develops on the screen. When actions and emotions erupt in the story, they do so with a kind of jolt, the audience having been lulled by the stately pace of the film and by the undeniably gorgeous visuals: Ken Adam's production design, Ulla-Britt Söderlund and Milena Canonero's costumes, and John Alcott's cinematography all won Oscars, as did Leonard Rosenman's orchestration of themes from Schubert, Bach, Mozart, Vivaldi, and Handel. Alcott used specially designed lenses, created for NASA to allow low-light filming, to allow many scenes to be filmed by candlelight. But it's also a painfully slow movie, stretching to more than three hours. I don't have anything against slowness: One of my favorite movies, Tokyo Story (Yasujiro Ozu, 1953), is often criticized for slowness. But the slowness of Ozu's film is in service of characters we come to know and care about. Kubrick gives us no one to care about very much, and O'Neal's Barry never registers as a developed character.

What I Watched in June

So, this month really wasn't horror heavy. I had a lot of shit to do work-wise and when I did have time of leisure they were mostly filled with non-horror content. Currently I'm stuck on American Housewife (2016) and just finished The Bear (2022); even finished Pretty Smart (2021) and still looking for colorful, corny, laugh-track filled sitcoms that'll give me the impression that my life isn't completely dull at the moment. Any recommendations?

I recently watched a PossessedbyHorror video and realized the many 2000's horror I missed. Felt completely disgusted with myself and made a list I plan to whizz through for the month of July. Sadly soap2day got shut down because people still frown on gatekeeping, so I have to find another way to watch my movies. Any recommendations? They have to be legal! *wink, wink.*

Anyway since it's the summer I want to watch as many camp-related, cabin booking, road trip taking movies I can get my hands on while I die in this German heat. I've overlooked a lot of underrated gems, and hopefully I can make a post about the for those who want some inspiration for the summer.

Anyway, this is what I watched in the month of June.

Night Teeth (2023)

Benny is a college student that moonlights as a chauffeur under his brother's name to make some extra money. He picks up two mysterious women for a night of party-hopping around LA. Seems easy enough. However, he uncovers a dark underworld filled with blood, death, and generations-old rivalry. He has to fight to stay alive before daybreak.

I actually watched this one in May, but I limit my posts to only ten movies and shows since I can only post ten pictures a post, but whatever. June entry.

I'm really glad to see Debby Ryan employed after the god-awful Insatiable (Lauren Gussis, 2018). Something always annoyed me about her that I couldn't put my finger on. It might be that no matter how hard I try, I always see her as that annoying babysitter of that rich family with multiracial kids running around a penthouse with a random lizard. I try to separate the art from the artist, I do. She was pretty good in this movie as the soft-hearted Blaire, a vampire turned in the 70's by Zoe (played by Lucy Fry). Alfie Allen is once again playing some backstabbing asshole, only he goes by Victor this time. The entire movie is politics between humans and vampires when a treaty-like understanding between the races is disrupted. Because of his relation to his brother, Benny is in the middle of it all. I liked the story of vampires and humans - Ryan's narration is perfect for it; she has such a nice voice. The world-building was fine. All the characters are nice. It's a fun movie to watch. Seeing Megan Fox and Sydney Sweeney was a decent treat; it reminds me of all the years we missed to see Fox be the ultimate horror girl so I get a little sad. Fry just has that look of playing some supernatural creature, which is why I guess she's type-casted in movies like Bright (David Ayer, 2017) and Vampire Academy (Mark Waters, 2014). I'd recommend as a drunken, fun watch with some friends. Nothing to write home about. 6/10

2. The Pope's Exorcist (2023)

Starring 2020 Unhinged's Russell Crowe, The Pope's Exorcist is inspired by the real life Gabriele Armorth, an Italian priest, who partook in 100,000 exorcism in his lifetime. Crowe depicts Armorth in the late 1980's who investigates a possession of a young boy in Spain, revealing centuries old conspiracies hidden by the Vatican.

This isn't a classic, but it feels like one. Some of the imagery are inspired by 1973's The Exorcist. It had a solid story, horrific scenes, and a good-enough child actor to play the possessed. It reminds me of what The Nun (Corin Hardy, 2018) could've been. Considering this Italian priest Armorth is a real living being with endless documentations of his exorcisms, this could be a start of a new Ed and Lorraine-like franchise like The Conjuring. I no longer have cable and I live in Europe for the time being, so I'm not sure how this movie's being received in the states. I hope it's well. If the following movies are as good as this one, then I'll keep it on my radar. I liked Russell Crowe in this movie. I know him from Unhinged and thought he was John Goodman in 10 Cloverfield, but he's not, so..

I'd highly recommend this movie for anyone that wants that Conjuring feel. It's not a throwaway exorcist movie. You can tell the storyline was probably thought of for more than a session between coffee breaks. 8/10.

3. The Birds (1963)

Directed by Alfred Hitchcock, Melanie, a rich socialist follows Mitch, a lawyer, to his weekend home in Bodega Bay to play a practical joke on him. Things take a bizarre turn when the birds of the area begin to attack the people.

This is an actual classic and one of Hitchcock’s revered works next to Psycho (1960), which I did watch, and Vertigo (1958). It’s also known for its brutality against actress Tippi Hedren, who plays Melanie Daniels, by the director himself. Melanie is a socialite with nothing better to do than to stalk a man she had an encounter with over the weekend to continue a pun. The movie’s theme from the get-go is birds. Melanie meets Mitch in a bird shop where she impersonates a worker. Mitch knows who she is but plays along as she embarrassingly looks for a species of birds she doesn’t know - or any, for that matter. He leaves and she uses her father’s connection in some position to find out where he lives.

Older movies like this do not give a damn about logistics or how much a character gets away with. It’s very manic pixie but with cigarette holders and 50's transition soundtracks. Everyone and their actions feel like a fever dream, like I’m witnessing another dimension interact in ways that are similar to mine but not quite. How do they say and do these things?

But Melanie is charming and beautiful, so maybe that’s why she’s able to run around town being ridiculous. I can see why it’s well loved. Will I watch it again? Probably not. I think I’d need nostalgia to find this rewatchable and I’m three generations too late to the party. It’s good for a one and done just to say you did, but it doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy it. I loved the banter between Mitch and Melanie. I liked the ending where a traumatized Melanie clutches onto the once abrasive Lydia Brenner who found it hard to like any of her son's love interest. It brings you back to the beginning of the movie when Melanie says, “Doesn’t she know she gets a daughter?” Something like that. Sometimes I wonder what kind of charm, what kind of placement, a man can have to influence one woman to move from the big city to a seaport to be a teacher and have another not rush back home at the first sign of a bird attack. Venusian for sure.

Overall, I give it a good 7/10. Pretty standard for me.

4. iZombie (2015)

Up and coming cardiologist Olivia "Liv" Moore's life is changed when she's turned into a zombie in a massacre. Now undead, she takes on a job at the morgue to get access to brains, only to find out that she's triggered by the memories of their brains. With this knowledge, she helps Clive Babeneaux, ostracized detective, solve crimes.

I've technically been lying on all these "What I watch..." lists because iZombie should be on them all, including the ones I didn't get to do. Do you know how many times I've rewatched this show? Countless. Every time I do, there's always something new to discover. I am a whore for a good murder of the week/monster of the week, etc. It's exciting and fun, which is why I like Supernatural or Ghost Whisperer. Sure, there's a canonical B plot that happens, but the A plot changing every episode allows you to not get tired of the show. Unlike many shows now-a-days, iZombie doesn't spoon feed you information. It treats its viewers respectfully by not insulting your intelligence. There are always high stakes, the acting is phenomenal, and they don't waste your time. In the later seasons, they become more creative with each episode, dabbling in different types of storytelling. I can't gush about this show enough - I know for a fact I will be making a long, nauseatingly drawn out post on iZombie. Not to mention it has one of the best villain I've watched. They aren't afraid to be ugly, and you don't realize it because it's the kind of show that goes down smoothly. But when you really stop to think about all the topics covered, it's gruesome. The tongue in cheek jokes, the beautifully fleshed out characters, the thick chemistry between the characters - ugh everything.

Almost.

One issue I had with this show was its ending. During its last season, CW had a couple shows that were "big dogs." Legacies, The 100, Jane the Virgin, etc., so iZombie that wasn't ranking in as many views and writers seem to have wanted to wrap it up to clear for space. You could steadily feel the decline in attraction when it came to certain plots that I skip on my countless rewatches. The ending just seemed...there. It was a happy one, sure, but happened off screen and felt like the climax wasn't big enough for the final payoff. It's kind of like building up an entire seven seasons of white walkers and the impending war against them, only for then said war to entail unearned final blows and zero investments when it came to lighting. IYKYK.

I don't know how to better explain it. If you watched it, you know. If you're going to, you'll see. It just felt as if CW was just hurrying up to end the show so that they could free up some time slots. Other than that, 9/10.

5. The Boogeyman (2023)

Directed by Rob Savage, who also did Dashcam (2021) and Host (2020), The Boogeyman follows the Harper family who are still reeling from the recent death of the mother. Sadie and her younger sister Sawyer are alone in their grief, as their father refuses to acknowledge his own pain. He's a therapist who runs his business out of his home. When an troubled, unscheduled patient shows up, he brings with him something dark and dangerous.

I'm so surprised. This was actually good. I went in blind, no trailer viewing, but the name alone already puts thoughts in your head that this might be one of those throw-away movies running off of a fad. Polaroid (Lars Klevberg, 2019), Slenderman (Sylvain White, 2018), Truth or Dare (Jeff Wadlow, 2018), etc. Movies that weed out of a childhood game, folklore, trend, electronic, etc. They're usually decent, nothing that warrants any awards; just fun to watch. Despite the name, The Boogeyman is more than meets the eye. I liked what they did with the use of lighting: fridges, game plays, Christmas lights, a moon ball, the light in the therapist's office. The 'lore of the creature is okay, the horror elements are nice, the camera angles fun and familiar. It'll always confuse me how therapists run their practice out of their home, especially if they have kids. It's similar to Smile (Parker Finn, 2022) to where the entity feeds on the broken and latches on. The creature reveal was also good too and unique, especially that one face grabbing scene. The hint of ghostly entity was a cute addition. I'd recommend giving it a try. They say boogeyman, like, once so you're still grounded in the world without it feeling so cartoonish. 8/10

6. Terrifier (2016)

This slasher film was written and directed by Damien Leone. The movie features sisters Tara and Victoria and friend Dawn who are targeted by a serial killing clown known as "Art the Clown" on Halloween night. The girls try to outrun the mysterious clown who seem to not back down.

So, the second movie was a big deal on my dashboard, timeline, and home page across my social medias. I'm not familiar with anything Leone, but I wanted to watch it to see what all the fuss was about before beginning the second movie. Admittedly, I fell asleep halfway through - but I finished it later on. Some scenes seemed familiar, and I wondered if I'd watched it before, but I doubt it. Aside from the acting, it was pretty decent. Not as amazing as I thought it would be but still decent. I'm not sure what that creature is, but I knew he was unbeatable. There's like two more movies after, so I figured as much. The characters were ridiculous in the choices they made, the deaths were camp (which mean it's just a socially acceptable bad) and the setting was okay. That one lady with the "baby" was a conflicting inclusion, but I still overall liked it. Would I rewatch it again? Maybe not. 6/10.

7. Evil Dead Rise (2023)

Directed by Lee Cronin, this is the fifth installment of the Evil Dead series. Two estranged sisters meet up on a night that all goes wrong. When the children discover a buried book under the slabs of their apartment, it awakens an ancient creature that will wreck havoc on their night.

This was the star of my month. I wanted to watch it the minute it came out, but waited for my boyfriend to visit to start it a month later. I'm not sure why, but this month was very tiring for me and I also slept through half of the movie and had to rewatch it at a later time. The anticipation around it was big, as far as I saw. The opening sequence of the girl rising out of the water in the title sequence was amazing. However....everything else felt lackluster.

The 2013 remake was my introduction to the franchise. I have yet to watch the 1981 or the following movies in '87 and '92. However, the 2013 one was an experience. After going through everything the main character endured in that damn cabin, you, too, just like her, left that movie exhausted. The bathroom scene, the brother scene, the raining blood where everything on that set was red and grimy. That demon did not care what it said; it was going to get a rise out of you. You heard the most vile, deplorable things come out of that girl's mouth and it left a horrific effect on you as a viewer. It was so good. I expected that from 2023's. But they played it so safe. There's this one scene of the eldest daughter chewing on glass and the ridiculous line of "I gotta kill the creepy-crawlies that got inside my tummy."

Okay?

"Open this door like you open your legs, you group slut." A little better, but nothing's topping, "Why don't you come down here, so I can suck your cock, pretty boy."

I just felt like they could've been mean with it. I liked 2013 because of how much of a potty mouth that damn demon was, sent straight from the deepest bowels of hell. This one just didn't do it for me. However, Alyssa Sutherland's cheekbones? That has to earn some points. 7/10

8. Mirrors (2008)

Starring Kierfer Sutherland, surprisingly Paula Patton and even the late Cameron Boyce, Mirrors is a supernatural horror film about Ben, recently suspended detective, who takes on a job as a nightly security guard overseeing a gutted department store after the recent disappearance of the previous guard.

Is this some underrated gem? No. I liked it though, especially the ending. They scored big points on the ending alone. I'm not a pessimist, but I do love an ending where the entity wins. Spoiler. Paula Patton was a surprising actress for me since I'm not really big on her acting. She was decent in this movie, but still an odd surprise. I don't know, it's just something about her face and her reaction to things.

This deals with an alcoholic main character, so there's a plot of him being an unreliable character when he tries to prove the supernatural happenings to his wife, who he has a rocky relationship with already. This plot line always stresses me out; Woman in the Window (the book) made me sad for her.

Honestly, I'll never understand white people in movies. I'm surprised there aren't riots about stereotypes of white people's idiotic curiosity in movies. Why Ben went into that building in the first place is beyond you or my's understanding. Why he touched that mirror in the first place is another. Most of the issues these characters have in all these movies could be chalked up to their curiosity. Not minding their business. But I'm partially grateful for that curiosity anyhow because it moves the plot forward. Just could never be me. The fact that he convinced Anna to go back to that place just to save a bunch of people she did not know? Bizarre. Granted, she didn't have much choice with a gun to her head, but it pissed me off completely because, dude, who told you to explore a destroyed building and go touching shit?

Would I rewatch this again? Probably not. I honestly just watched it because it was on my boyfriend's external hard drive and we'd just finished Evil Dead Rise. It was decent enough but, eh. 6/10

[tuiyla]

The whole Brittany is a math genius thing makes me so! mad! Because it plays into all the most wrong perceptions about my beloved mathematics. Even after the "genius twist", the narrative makes it pretty clear Birtt had never taken an interest in maths or studied it but tries to play it like she magically knew it. Mathematics cannot be mastered at any level without incredible dedication, and it builds on itself more than maybe any other subject. You can't just magically figure out stuff! And they have her get into MIT because she wrote down random numbers and it was a palindromic prime or something if I recall correctly. That's ridiculous! First of all, that's not impressive. That's the kind of stuff we write a program for and leave it running so we find a new example every few years. People prove theorems, computers do boring calculations. Maths has a lot less to do with numbers than people think frankly, and without justification results are not accepted. Let us look at the mathematician considered the most naturally gifted, Ramanujan. He grew up poor in India with little access to mathematical resources and due to this most of his work was rediscovery and he never really learned the mathematical rigour necessary to formalize proofs. He dedicated his life to mathematics and wrote letters filled with results he'd send to mathematicians trying to interest them in his work. For years he was dismissed as a crank because he was an unknown and lacked mathematical rigour, until GH Hardy took an interest in him and had him brought to Cambridge. Even if Britt had secretly dedicated her entire life to maths and had written a counterexample to the Riemann hypothesis (the most important problem in mathematics), she likely would have been dismissed. Though if they had written this at least it would fit in with the normal unbelievability of the show. They couldn't have called up 1 random mathematician and asked them what would be impressive? I know this is dumb and glee has plenty of worst stuff but this is still the one that makes me the most irrationally upset. I feel like Ryan Murphy personally took a dump on my life's work.

Hehe hi Anon so I know it's been nearly two months and tbh I'm not sure why I put off answering this for so long. Not like I have a ton to say because while I understand and appreciate your perspective, I also think... it's not that deep? And woah, I know that's very very rich coming from me when I monopolize the freaking Glee shovel but the genius storyline is largely a joke.

I personally like it because imo it adds much needed agency and dimension to Brittany's character and story, and that's a convo for another day, but it is a joke. The writers truly didn't think anything of it, much less really considered the actual reality of mathematics. Like, yes, it is ridiculous! It's played for laughs like much of Brittany's ch is. One of those instances of Glee being very aware of the nonsense and leaning into it.

But I also happen to personally believe that that doesn't matter. What matters is validating Brittany's unique point of view and her way of seeing the world, saying that hey, there are ways in which she's actually much smarter than most. Is it in any way plausible, no. But even I, notorious Glee too-seriously-taker, would advise you not to take Glee's disregard of how maths actually works personally. This is a big rant for something that doesn't matter too much, dramatically, in the series. The show leans into the ridiculousness of it all enough while also focusing on Britt's character more than the actual science of it all. And I can personally get behind that. I think the 4x22 scene with her and the MIT professors is hilarious. But I also left maths behind when I graduated high school so what do I know.

What are some of your current fav actors n actresses? Would love to hear your thoughts on some of your favs actors or actors you think are Underrated?

ok!

Firstly Tom Hardy has been one of my all time faves since about 2005. (Stuart: A Life Backwards is still his greatest performance, but anywho)

A rambling list of actors who I think are amazingly talented, mostly for their screen work:

Emily Blunt, Melissa McBride, Jessica Chastain, John David Washington, Adam Driver, Lupita Nyong’o, Matthew Macfadyen, Andrew Scott, Jon Bernthal, Anne-Marie Duff, Dev Patel, Deborah Ann Woll, Colin Farrell, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Gwendoline Christie, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Viola Davis, Travis Fimmel, Heath Ledger, Daniel Kaluuya, Benicio Del Toro, Zhang Ziyi, Terry O’Quinn, Michael Fassbender, Domhnall Gleeson, Alicia Vikander, Emma Thompson, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Andrew Lincoln, Michelle Williams, Ryan Gosling, Toby Stephens

I will ofc also shoutout Christina Hendricks and Manny Montana. There was some good shitttttt in GG and I'm right. They are both such good listeners. (but I'll ramble about that in a separate ask I have)

And many many more I'm forgetting right now!

Actors from that list I would say are underrated? Melissa McBride 100%. I wish she would be in more projects and that cursed zombie show did not deserve her. She was the reason I stuck around so long. GOD SHE'S AMAZING!

Probably also Terry O'Quinn, his work in LOST is stunning.

In terms of stage work, I've seen Andrew Scott in theatre 5 times, sometimes front row in very small venues where he sat on me and one of the reasons he is SO skilled to me is how his stage work still absolutely sings. He is the best live performance I've ever watched and he just gives so much to the audience, something he clearly does on screen, he's a live-wire isn't he? But he's just - - so unselfish with his performances.

Anne-Marie Duff is similar. (also SO underrated but she mostly does theatre now so less media exposure I guess)

She did my favourite performance of Queen Elizabeth I in The Virgin Queen, a 4 part series on the BBC over here (opposite Tom Hardy as Robert Dudley) She is so talented. So heartfelt and raw. She was the same in the theatre show I saw her in.

All of the actors I have listed here are incredible listeners. There is nothing more cringe than an insular actor who refuses to be changed by their scene partner. I also personally gravitate towards actors who are very in touch with their body in space/have a certain physical free-ness.

6 underground movie review

A/N Im watching movies guys. And boy do I have some thoughts about this movie.

So, 6 underground are about 7 "ghosts" who violently stage a coup de tarte in kubekistan.

Look, so this movie. I can barely tell you about the story, because it is somehow too simple or really convoluted. It's like the main story makes sense, but its edited together in way that makes NO god damn sense! Like, okay, back story cool, edited over a car chase scene, that could work, if they had actually done it in a way where you could follow what the fuck was going on. Like they sleep together and then in voice over Ryan Reynolds goes: That brings you up to speed. And I was just like: NO it doesn't?! How does you two sleeping together explain ANYTHING?!?!

And like, besides that attack why does fixing THIS one countries dictator become SO important to these guys?! Like I understand maybe two of the characters motivations! And like the mission story is SO easy that I thought okay, could be really cool! But it is like every storybeat I'm like: Okay, so this thing is about to be really cool and they're gonna– No. They're just gonna walk in guns blazing? Okay. Super. Great. That is exactly how cool and interesting I wanted it to be.

But the WORST part about this movie, is that in the opening sequence you think: Okay. A little over the top, maybe a little almost too much Tarantino blood and gore, but with non of the fun dialogue. But the tone of this movie. Oh my god what did they do? And why?!?! Like they open on this James Bond, Fast and Furious escque car chase. And you're thinking, okay, and they stole an eye, so this is gonna be some cool over the top action! With like a big take down of some people. And a little snappy tone. Cool! Okay. And then they proceed to NOT at all understand what tone they were going for! It's like, WHY did you hire RYAN FUCKING REYNOLDS! And ask him to behave as Ryan Reynolds does in almost every movie! And Then NOT make it an action comedy?!!? Like what the fuck? Why? If they actually like, embraced the silliness and over the top thing and then made the other stuff more in the background then this movie could have ABSOLUTELY worked! Because they have these cool actors and clearly fucking cool stunt teams. So just like, make the quests more fun! And then lean into the funny parts of their characters and then this could have absolutely worked. But nope, instead we got a tonally confused shit show of a movie that made me wonder: 1. do I actually have to finish this? And 2. What blackmail did they have to use to get these cool actors to do such a shitty movie?! God they almost made me stop loving Ryan and Ben Hardy. And I like them! They are fun in this movie. They just dont belong in this tone of movie!

what step is this? // a 3x05 WildMoore episode tag

about: While Alice gets changed, Ryan takes a moment to flirt with Sophie. Another step in our enemies to lovers journey commences. + read on ao3 context: takes place immediately after this scene, after Ryan pops up on Sophie's balcony / while Alice gets changed

x

As Alice stomps her way to the other room, Ryan takes a second to look around Sophie’s place. The nice exposed brick, warm colors, great view of a comfy Sophie Moore with her hair tied back and a soft, pajama set.

Ryan can’t help but lean back into her heels and tease Sophie. She keeps her voice light to make sure she’s not misheard. “Here I am, busting my ass, and you’re having a movie night.”

Sophie groans, tucking the empty wine bottle under her arm to free up her hands. “Don’t remind me. I’d much rather be out there with you.”

“In that outfit?”

Sophie glances down at her short shorts and bare legs. A few dresses aside — Ryan hasn’t really seen Sophie’s legs before. Not like this. There’s always been some level of professionalism. Some barrier that isn’t quite here in the low light of her living room.

Sophie goes for the defensive. “This is my house, alright? You’re the overdressed one here.”

Ryan would gladly lose the suit right now. Talk about overdressed. Ryan smirks. Sophie takes one look at that smirk and quickly averts her eyes to the balcony door.

Eyes still far from Ryan, Sophie says, “Stop that.”

Ryan chuckles. Her smirk turns into a full blown smile. “Stop what?”

Sophie glances back to Ryan with a scrunch of her nose. “Looking at me like that.” But she sounds more entertained and defeated than bothered by it. Good.

Ryan tilts her head to the side. “How do you want me to look at you?”

And the way Sophie’s eyes darken just a bit? The little intake of breath that hitches up her chest while her lips pinch together? Yeah. Ryan cannot be the only one feeling something here.

Their eyes lock in that timeless, breathless way they’ve been doing lately. Like no one in the world exists except for them. Like they have all the time in the world to figure out who they are to each other. Like maybe they already know.

“UGHHHHH.” Alice’s groan breaks the moment. She’s not even in the room yet, just loud from the other room. “Can you PLEASE flirt quieter? I’m having a hard time keeping my popcorn down.”

Sophie huffs, but her cheeks are flushed even under these low lights. “My popcorn,” she snaps back.

Alice stomps out in her usual outfit. “So stingy.” Her eyes dance as she looks to Ryan. “Bet you’d share with Ry-Ry here, wouldn’t you?”

Ryan takes a step back towards the doors to save them all from this embarrassment. Alice has already called Ryan out for protecting Sophie once. She can’t have it happen again right now.

Alice, thankfully, takes the hint. “Fine.” To Sophie, she adds, “Wait for me. I want to see what happens.” Then she walks over to the balcony. If Ryan didn’t know any better, she’d think Alice was giving them their space.

Ryan smiles at Sophie. She playfully rolls her eyes, and Sophie scrunches her nose again in reply. Ryan walks backwards out the doors. She grabs hold of one but doesn’t close it just yet. “Should probably close these. Letting all your good air out.”

Sophie nods as she walks over. “Yeah, don’t want to catch a cold.”

“I don’t know.” Ryan strokes her thumb on the door handle the way she normally does to Sophie’s hand. “A sick day could be fun.”

Sophie laughs. Her cheeks flush again. She reaches for the same part of the door that Ryan’s holding. “Good night, Ryan.”

Ryan swallows down the urge to pitch forward. To reach up and pull Sophie down to her. To make good on the jokes and the flirting and the possibilities bubbling between them.

She takes a steadying breath, and lets it out slow. “Night, Soph.”

“Oh, and, uh, don’t stay out too late,” Sophie says, with a quick glance over Ryan’s shoulder to where Alice is eavesdropping. “Alice has an early bed time.”

Alice absolutely flips Sophie off. “Hardy har har.”

Ryan leads the way across the balcony. “Come on, let’s go see a woman about a whip.”

Alice cringes as she follows. “Please don’t tell me that’s foreshadowing.”

Sophie’s laugh at that is worth the spike of embarrassment. And if Ryan files away that thought for later, well, she’s just keeping track of what she knows.

Dance the Sadness Away: Ben Hardy x Reader x Older! Roger

~~~~~~

//So, I was inspired to write this because I thought of the dance scene between Harry and Hermione in Deathly Hallows Part 2, and I thought, what if I wrote something about Ben and Roger dancing with and comforting the Reader? Please note that this is the first time I have written anything about a poly relationship or anything containing both Ben and Roger, so please, please, I am begging you, please go easy on me. This story is based in the year 2018, before everything in the world fell apart//

~~~~~~

A sniffle rang through the normally quiet apartment that was shared between three people. [Y/N] [L/N], an average, normal, everyday girl, was laying on the couch in the living room, crying. She made the mistake of looking at the social media posts and reading the comments. She was in a polyamerous relationship with actor Ben Hardy and drummer Roger Taylor. Most people didn’t really understand the relationship between them. How did the boys not get jealous of each other when they spend time with [Y/N]? How does a relationship like this even happen? What Ben and Roger tell interviewers is that this relationship is based on love. Pure and true love. Ben and Roger never get jealous of each other because they share the same love they do for the woman with them. While polyamerous relationships may be rare, this one works. 

[Y/N] resisted the urge to pick up her phone and call either Roger or Ben for comfort. However, both were out. Ben went to an interview on his next movie, 6 Underground, staring Ryan Reynolds. Roger was at the studio working on and recording new songs with Brian and Adam. 

The comments rang through her mind. 

Ew. Why would they both date someone like her?

She’s just dating the both of them for the money. 

They are way out of her league. 

The sad thing was, she believed the comments, however, she was not, at all with the two men for their money. She was with them because she loved them both. Her phone started vibrating, the familiar ringtone of You’re My Best Friend, her ringtone for Ben. She picked up her phone, and for a moment, smiled at the contact photo that was showing on the screen. It was of Ben and [Y/N]. [Y/N] stood with her back against Ben’s chest, his arms wrapped around her. [Y/N] was smiling while Ben was kissing her cheek. 

Roger had taken the photo of the two of them when they went on vacation a few months ago. [Y/N] sniffed and slid the green answer button across her phone, putting the phone to her ear. 

“Hello?” She cringed as her voice cracked. 

Hey love. Ben answered, making [Y/N] smile. 

“Hey. Are you done with the interview yet?” She asked. She heard Ben sigh. 

Yeah. I just have one more to go before I come home. Has Rog come home yet? He asked. [Y/N] shook her head and sniffed. 

“No, he hasn’t come home yet.” She said, clearing her throat. 

You alright love? Ben asked. Tears filled [Y/N]’s eyes. She desperately wanted either Roger or Ben, or even both there with her. She wanted them to pull her into their arms and tell her that everything was okay. [Y/N] wiped her tears. 

“Y-yeah, I’m good.” She said. 

You sure? You sound like you’ve been crying. Ben said, worry clear in his voice. [Y/N] sniffed again. 

“I-I’ve just been watching a sad movie. That’s all.” She said. Ben hummed. She knew he didn’t believe her, because normally, she would leave a movie playing when either of the boys called and he would hear the movie in the background. Ben didn’t push it. 

Alright, well. I’ll should be home in about an hour. Call or text me when Rog gets home, alright? [Y/N] sniffed and nodded. 

“Y-yeah. I will. I love you.” She said. 

I love you to, baby. I’ll see you soon. Bye. 

“Bye.” [Y/N] ended the call before crying and falling to the couch again. 

~~~~~

A few hours later, the keys were put into the keyhole, unlocking the door. Roger Taylor walked in, sighing as the days responsibilities and stress wafted off of his shoulders as he walked inside. He noticed that there were very few lights on in the apartment. The head of a familiar beagle popped up. Said dog jumped off of the couch and rushed over to greet the older man. Roger chuckled as he kneeled down and gave the dog some kisses and pets. 

“Hey there Frankie. Has Ben gotten here yet?” He asked the dog. Seeing as she was more excited to see him, he assumed not. “Where’s your mum, huh? Do you know where she is?” He asked. Frankie let out a little bark of excitement before trotting over to the couch, Roger following after taking off his shoes and coat, putting them both away. He walked over to the couch to see his darling girl sleeping on the couch, curled up with her knees to her chest. Her [h/l] [h/c] hair was tousled and tangled. What worried Roger the most was seeing the dried tear marks on her cheeks. He walked over to where she was sleeping and gently stroked her hair, making the woman jump in surprise. “Hey there, love.” He said gently. [Y/N] opened her eyes and sat up, not smiling like she normally did when she saw Roger. Roger frowned. “What’s wrong, lovie?” He asked. [Y/N] shrugged and sniffed, a new wave of emotions filling her. Roger frowned and sat next to her on the couch, placing his arm around her shoulders and pulling her close, kissing her forehead. Tears started falling down her eyes. “Did you read the comments on the social media posts again?” He asked. [Y/N] didn’t answer as more tears fell from her eyes, confirming Roger’s suspicions. Roger sighed. “Love, you can’t keep doing that to yourself. You’re just hurting yourself the more you try to look for the kind comments.” Roger said. He and Ben had talked to [Y/N] many times about going onto the social media platforms and reading the comments. [Y/N] sniffed and sighed. 

“I can’t help it. I always hope that I’m going to see kind comments, or at least someone defending me.” She said. Roger sighed. 

“Love, if you go looking for kind comments, most of the time, you’re going to find negative comments.” Roger said. Frankie jumped on the couch and cuddled with her human who was sad, making both [Y/N] and Roger smile as she gently stroked Frankie’s head. Roger gently kissed [Y/N]’s head. “How about I draw you a bath and then we can cuddle on the couch with Ben when he gets home, which should be anytime now.” He said. [Y/N] sniffed and nodded. Roger moved his arm and allowed her to sit up. He took her hand and lead her to the bathroom, where he started the bath for her. After making sure the temperature was warm enough and helping her undress and get into the water, Roger left [Y/N] to soak in the water, making sure the bathroom door was opened a little in case she needed him. 

Ben opened the door and was met by the sounds of paws scraping across the floor towards him. Ben laughed as Frankie jumped up and started licking him in greeting. 

“Hey there, Franks. Hey, I missed you to girl,” after getting the beagle down, he looked at her. “Where’s Rog and [Y/N]? Can you find them for me?” He asked. Frankie barked before racing over to the kitchen where Roger was currently making dinner for the three of them. Ben walked over and kissed Roger’s cheek. Roger smiled before looking at the young man. 

“So now you finally decide to come home.” Roger teased. Ben chuckled. 

“Oh bug off, old man. The interview took longer than expected. Where’s [Y/N]?” He asked. Roger sighed. 

“I came home and found her on the couch asleep, dried tear marks down her face,” Roger said. Worry flooded Ben’s body as he listened to his lover. “She was looking at the social media comments again.” Roger said. The worry doubled as Ben sighed and ran his hands down his face and groaned. 

“I thought we talked to her about that already.” Ben said. Roger nodded. 

“We did, love. But I guess she wanted to see if there were any nice comments on any of the pictures. I’ve taken a look at them myself. There’s only one real, genuine nice comment on the post she was looking at.” Roger said. Ben sighed. 

“Where is she now?” He asked. Roger nodded his head in the direction of the bathroom. 

“Taking a bath. She should be done soon, I reckon the water will have started to go cold by now.” He said. Ben nodded. He moved to help Roger with dinner, but Roger shook his head. “No, you go and get our lovely lady. She hasn’t seen you all day. Plus, she might need some Benny kisses to help bring that smile back.” Roger said. Ben chuckled and nodded. He kissed Roger on the cheek once more before walking over to the bathroom. He stopped before the door, listening. There were more sniffles and crying. Ben sighed in sadness. He wished people on social media weren’t so mean, then his girlfriend wouldn’t be crying at the moment. But that was just the way the world worked. He couldn’t change what people thought and said about their relationship, but he could turn [Y/N]’s frown upside down. Ben gently knocked on the door. 

“Love? It’s me. Can I come in?” He asked. He heard the ‘come in’ and opened the door. There, sitting in the bath, tears streaming down her face, was his girlfriend. Ben sighed and walked over. “Hey there.” He said, kneeling next to the bath. He kissed [Y/N]’s forehead. He held out his hands to her, letting her know to take his hands to help her out of the bath. [Y/N] took Ben’s hands, him helping her up. Ben reached down and pulled the drain plug, letting the water go down the drain. He pulled one of the fuzzy towels off of the rack and wrapped it around her form. He placed his hands on her forearms and gently moved her to sit on the side of the tub. “I’m going to go and get you some comfy clothes, wait here, okay?” He said. [Y/N] nodded as Ben moved to go to their shared room, pulling out one of his sweaters and some of Roger’s sweatpants. When she was upset, she always loved wearing some of the boys’ clothes. It made her feel safe and happy. Ben walked back in and set the clothes down on the floor. He helped her up again and dried her off. Neither said a word as Ben helped her get dressed. He pulled the sweatpants up and over her legs. The pants were a little big for her, so Ben pulled the strings and tied it so that they sat comfortably against her hips. He pulled the sweater, which was also a little big for her, over her head. Part of the sweater fell off of her shoulder, exposing the skin. Ben sighed and gently leaned over, kissing her bare shoulder, making his way up her neck and to her ears. “I love you, Princess.” He whispered, before taking her hand and walking out of the bathroom to the living room. Roger had made dinner and had three plates out on the coffee table. It was [Y/N]’s favorite, [f/f](favorite food). Ben led her over to the couch, sitting her down next to Roger while he called for Frankie to get her food as well. 

After dinner was finished, Ben and Roger took the plates to the kitchen and cleaned up. After cleaning up, Ben picked up his phone and plugged it into the stereo. He opened his phone and went to the Apple Music app and looking up a song. He hit play, and Hooked On A Feeling by Blue Swede rang through the speakers. 

Ooga-chaka, ooga-ooga Ooga-chaka, ooga-ooga Ooga-chaka, ooga-ooga Ooga-chaka, ooga-ooga

[Y/N]’s head lifted from its place on Roger’s shoulder at the familiar lyrics of her favorite song. Roger smiled as he and [Y/N] looked over at Ben, who made his way over to the couch. 

I can't stop this feeling Deep inside of me Girl, you just don't realize What you do to me

He held his hands out to both [Y/N] and Roger, asking for a dance. [Y/N] sighed and took his hand while Roger took the other. The three held hands as they moved back and forth dancing. 

When you hold me In your arms so tight You let me know Everything's all right

Ben let go of [Y/N]’s hand as Roger spun her around and pulled her into his chest, making [Y/N] smile and laugh slightly. Ben then snuck around and picked her up by her waist, making her squeal and laugh. 

I'm hooked on a feeling I'm high on believing That you're in love with me

Roger and Ben danced together, Roger holding Ben’s hand while his other hand was holding Ben’s waist. Ben’s other hand was on Roger’s shoulder. [Y/N] laughed and clapped at the sight.

Lips as sweet as candy Its taste is on my mind Girl, you got me thirsty For another cup of wine 

[Y/N] had gone to get Frankie. She held the beagle as she danced around, pressing her lips to the dog’s head. Frankie returned the love by licking [Y/N]’s cheek.   

Got a bug from you girl But I don't need no cure I'll just stay a victim If I can for sure All the good love When we're all alone Keep it up girl Yeah, you turn me on

[Y/N] laughed as the three failed at doing a three person swing dance. Ben danced with [Y/N] for a bit, taking her hands and making them twirl around each other. The girl laughed and curled her body around her hands, making Ben laugh as well. 

I'm hooked on a feeling I'm high on believing That you're in love with me

Roger danced with [Y/N]. He placed his hand on her lower back before dipping her. [Y/N] let her head fall back as she felt Roger’s lips press against her throat, his mustache and beard tickling her skin slightly. Ben looked down at her and brought his lips down to meet hers. 

All the good love When we're all alone Keep it up girl Yeah, you turn me on I'm hooked on a feeling I'm high on believing That you're in love with me

Roger, Ben and [Y/N] stood in a circle, slowly swaying from side to side. Ben pressed a kiss into [Y/N]’s head, letting his lips linger there. Roger pressed his lips to [Y/N]’s cheek, pulling away to rest his forehead against it. 

I'm hooked on a feeling And I'm high on believing That you're in love with me I said I'm hooked on a feeling And I'm high on believing That you're in love with me I'm hooked on a feeling

As the song ended, Roger pulled her into a hug, resting his head on top of her’s. Roger wrapped his arms around the two, making them chuckle. Ben pulled away, putting his index finger and thumb on her chin, making her look up at him. 

“Now, no more looking through the comments on the social media posts for a while, alright?” Ben asked. [Y/N] sighed and nodded. Roger looked at [Y/N]. 

“Princess, promise us.” Roger said. [Y/N] smiled at the two. 

“Alright. I promise to not look at anymore social media comments.” She said. She then felt Roger’s lips against her neck. These kisses felt more sensual compared to the one he had left earlier. She sighed as Ben kissed the other side of her neck. 

“I think we need to remind out baby girl just how much we love her, don’t you think, Rog?” Ben asked. Roger smirked against her skin. 

“Oh, I definitely think she needs to be reminded.” Roger said. With that, Ben scooped [Y/N] up, taking her to the bedroom. 

~~~~~

The next morning, [Y/N] woke and picked up her phone. her phone had gotten two new notifications from Instagram last night before she and her two lovers went to bed after their activities. She opened her phone and saw a picture of her, Ben and Roger that they had taken earlier that week. [Y/N] was sandwiched in between the two men, the girl laughing as her men kissed her on the cheeks. 

Roger had left a caption with the photo. 

rogertayloroffical: You can say all you want about our relationship. @benhardy and I love @[your-instagram-name].  We love each other and that’s all that matters. 

benhardy: @rogertayleroffical Right you are love. We love this girl so much, and it hurts to see so many of our fans hating on her for being in a relationship with us. 

fan#1: OMG! Look at them! They are so cute! I can’t!

fan#2: I love how Ben and Roger look at [Y/N]. They look like they are so in love with her. 

fan#3: I hope you all are well and I love that you aren’t afraid to show who you love. 

mrgwilymlee: @benhardy You all look happy mate. I’m happy for all three of you. 

[Y/N] smiled at seeing her two boys defend her. Tears filled her eyes at seeing all the positive comments on the post that Roger must have posted last night. She heard Ben groan as he woke up. His arm tightened around her bare waist. 

“I thought Rog and I told you to not look at the comments.” Ben said groggily. [Y/N] snickered as she closed her phone. She turned and faced Ben, some of the tears falling from her eyes. Ben frowned. “Hey, what’s wrong? Are you okay? Did we hurt you last night?” He asked. [Y/N] shook her head. 

“No. I’m not hurting. I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for what you said in the post.” She said, sniffing. Ben smiled and kissed her forehead. 

“Rog and I will always defend you, love. You’re our Princess and we’re you knights in shinning armor.” Ben said. [Y/N] giggled as she and Ben kissed again.

You Came Back To Me - A Nace AU

Part 1

A|N : So this is my first time writing an AU here, so feedback is appreciated!

Nancy Drew was a disaster when it came to family. She never let anyone in but when she did, she was always faced with some problem or another.

That's precisely why she felt a pit in her stomach as she reached the end of Myrtle Hudson's letter to her. Carson and Ryan were engrossed in getting the dish-soap lather right among bickering while she sat alone on the couch with a feeling she couldn't shake. Suddenly she didn't feel like she was comfortable at home.

The lights flickered on and off in her house. Nancy did not like it at all. The Wraith was out of her, the town was quiet for once in a long time and Nancy wished it would stay that way.

Caron's baseball tapes played on the TV, throwing ribbons of light across Nancy's eyes but it was all a blur. Her thoughts kept going back to Myrtle. Although she was a gruff lady with a hell of a scowl, she did give in at the end. No one would be that nice to their newly found extended family, would they?

Nancy almost snorted at herself: she freaked out for days when she was told that there was an inkling of Hudson blood in her - that she was Ryan Hudson's teenage mistake of a daughter.

God knew Nancy wasn't the right person to answer the questions she herself had.

"Hey Nancy, would you look at this mess!" Carson chuckled from the kitchen.

Ryan Hudson — millionaire with puppy eyes — her biological father who had just given up his right to parent Nancy for her safety, was arms were elbow deep in clean dishwater with a goofy smile on his face.

She couldn't help but crack a smile herself at the scene. It was refreshing to see that at least someone, if not herself, was finding the normal in their messed up lives.

"I wish I could be that happy to do some dishes," she chuckled.

Her fathers — oh god that would need practice to get used to — hooted in mockery while she pushed herself up on the far dry counter. It was a domestic gesture, making her feel strong enough to ignore the goosebumps all over her arms.

"Speaking of happy," Carson hummed, "What happened when you went to Ace's? I mean, we love cookies as much as the next guy but..."

"But nothing." Nancy shrugged. Her cheeks flamed up like a rally torch, and she tried to ignore the knowing look that Carson and Ryan exchanged.

Nancy was never one for the heart. She thought with her mind, worked with her mind and felt with her mind. But the one time she actually decided to listen to her heart, was the most humiliating moment in her teen life.

"Ace wasn't there to get the work done." she smoothly lied, or at least she thought so. As far as they knew, Nancy was visiting Ace for some mystery work. "Rebecca said he went on a trip with Amanda Bobbsey and won't know when he'll-"

Knocks broke the rest of her words.

There was something in the sudden sound that startled Nancy. The front door of her house shook under someone thumping it from the outside. The knocks seemed weak, panicked and urgent.

Carson rushed to peep through the hole, all the while the knocks grew louder. Nancy struggle to get a view, but Carson froze beside her.

He threw the door open. Nancy frowned when she saw the last person she expected on her doorstep.

A gasping Ace Hardy stood at her threshold, bruised and bloody.

He leaned against the wooden door, his eyes drooping. His usually pale cheeks were caked with mud, his stance wobbling. He was cradling his right arm in left. Before Nancy could say anything else, he fainted right into her arms.

And Nancy fell with him.

Stay tuned for part 2 soon

Reasons I’m Not Getting My Hopes Up About The Morbius Movie

1. The music. So far we have a public domain classical piece, fine. Fair enough and... People Are Strange. Why? Why couldn’t we make a movie about Morb without harkening back to other vampire movies? Why does The Lost Boys have to exist in Morb’s canon freaking universe?

2. The color palette. The trailers have been all 90% black and blue, and so goddamn dark. This is a comic movie, give me some color variance. Give me some art direction. 

3: The bat scene. That. Never. Happened. In. Any. Comic. Ever. And while I recognize creative license that... is just a stupid scene in so many ways. Look, Morb would just import the damn bats, and actual vampire bats too, not the things that Sony CG’d there (Guys, vampire bats aren’t that big. They are like palm sized. Like 7 inches fullll wingspan. Smol bois.) Even if he did go to catch bats humans really aren’t as attractive as a dish of pig blood would be. The whole thing is unneeded and just reeks of cringe.

4. the dialog I’ve seen so far. “Some kind of bat radar.” IS THIS MAN A DOCTOR? BECAUSE YOU COULD HAVE FOOLED ME. The idiot didn’t even say ‘bat sonar’. 

5. We all know how I feel about the lead actor. 

6. The villain. While Matt Smith is freaking fantastic and will be great as any villain they very much messed with canon in order to do the same vs. same villain/hero scenario and... guys we just did that with Let There Be Carnage.

7. The company. Unless Morb teams up with Stroud there’s no good buddy dynamic in here. No other good characters. No Werewolf by Night, Legion of Monsters, Midnight Sons, no Blade, and I will wager my life no Spider-man. 

8. PG13...

9. And the biiiig one: The crew. The writers do not have a good track record. Gods of Egypt?! Dracula Untold? The New Power Rangers? God, if those are your selling points than what have you done that you’re ashamed of? And the director. Go through his imdb and find one thing good to watch. Nope? That’s what I thought. There’s no Tom Hardy here, no Ryan Reynolds no real advocate for the heart of the character. I think at some point production called Roy Thomas and MAYBE they got some insight... but I’m not holding my breath. These are not comic people making this, these aren’t even good movie people. I hate the mouse but at least they read the comics they are using.

We finally have both our Hardy Boys on The CW’s “Nancy Drew”!!! :D I didn’t expect Grant to end up being Ace’s brother, aka Frank Hardy, as I was one of the many fans who fell for the writers’ red herring of Tamura instead. LOL Very impressed they did that and can’t wait to find out more about Grant’s backstory. I’ve known since early season 1 that Ace was Joe so this is great finally getting the whole Hardy family. Loved seeing Ace’s mom as she looks exactly like book Laura Hardy, and even similar to the actress who plays her on Hulu’s show.  And seeing Grant’s mom too.  Now I’ve noticed even their names are similar as Ace and Joe are spelled with 3 letters that end with an 3 (and Ace’s mom calls him Acey, which is similar to Joey), and Grant and Frank are both 5 letters with only the first and last letter being different. So they’ve not only modernized their names but also helped to drag out revealing they’re the show’s Hardy Boys.  Also noticed that scene with Ace hitting on Bess without their memories also was a shoutout to how Joe has dated Bess in various adaptions including the 70s TV show.

I also really enjoyed the episode overall and that Carson’s moving back home, and Nancy working with Ryan and Cecila. Also very excited that next week’s episode is going to be our first “Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys” episode!!! :D
