#the thin man movies

[creativeimagination206]

Okay please tell me someone out there also loves the Thin Man movies because holy hell I just watched the fifth one and it reignited Obsession.

I know it’s pride month but Nick and Nora Charles are my favorite straight couple ever and no I will not take criticism. William Powell and Myrna Loy had great chemistry and I cannot get enough of their characters.

Is the first movie in the series 90 years old? Maybe, but the humor and charisma still hold up for the most part and they’re just absolutely charming movies. If I had more free time right now I’d be writing fanfiction for them like you wouldn’t believe.

Yuletide Dear Author!

Yuletide! All right. I admit I finished signing up with minutes to spare.

Constantine (TV) I couldn't have been more thrilled to see this nominated. What I love about the show: the truly flawed characters. It's spooky. It's miserable. It's delighted. John and Chas are their heartbreaking, f'ed-up selves to the end but Zed and Manny are never sidelined in pursuit of main-character angst. John is not a good man but he is trying very hard, and it turns out trying very hard is probably not enough. I would be happy with pretty much anything in this fandom, from a goofy smutty romp to an intense character study.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010) Look there are a lot of characters in Scott Pilgrim but the two best characters are Wallace Wells [DRUNK HOMOSEXUAL] and Knives Chau [17 YEARS OLD]. Really anything, set in the present or in the future, featuring these two would be so welcome. They don't have to be the only thing going on! SPvtW is a rich tapestry of idiots and anything true to the source material and fun is welcome. Only DNW here is heavy duty misery with zero fun times.

The Brothers Sinister Series - Courtney Milan They're sexy, they're well-intentioned, they're idiots, they're supportive bros. I love them all. The things I like best about these books are the humor and the way every character has a strong sense of self. Hijinks, witty banter, plotting, sex, and true friendship -- I would love any and all of these.

Thin Man (Movies) Speaking of hijinks! Also speaking of witty banter and plotting. Not canonically speaking of sex but man you could be, these two definitely have an enthusiastic and varied sex life behind the scenes, separate beds be damned. These characters are so powerful that I think they could withstand basically any setting or conceit and come through beautifully. AUs, in-world mysteries, ridiculous vignettes, first-time meetings: bring it on. I love them.

The fact there's like 5 posts about Saladin Ahmeds Wolverine issue 1 but a boatload of posts related to that fuckass movie is CRIMINAL!

Like c'mon people, there's a big focus on Logurt, they hug and Logan patches him up and worries for him, Logan runs around naked for like half the issue, even next to Kurt. There's angst and comfort and them working together and it's so sweet.

Not to mention LOOK AT HIMMMM! He's so wide and hairy and wild!

LOOK HOW SHORT HE IS! THAT'S MY GUYYY!

Some of these Round 2 polls need a a ‘neither is as hot as James Cagney, he was robbed’ button 😄

(also a ‘they’re no William Powell and Ivan Mosjoukine, what are people *thinking* button)
