don't know about y'all, but this moment changed my brain chemistry

[thelostpocket]

a combination of Frasier from Fraiser and Vizzini from The Princess Bride, but with a little more meanness and competence than both of the aforementioned

Tracking my mental health by the amount of times I watch the bottle smashing scene in The Personal History of David Copperfield (2019)

After the credits of Glass Onion, you KNOW Blanc hopped on the phone like

"Marta, I just - yes, yes, I know, it's late for you - but listen I just - well, if you were going to bed, why did you pick up? - anyway, I just met this AMAZING woman, you HAVE to meet her, Marta she blew up a HOUSE - yes, on purpose - YES, WITH PEOPLE INSIDE, also the Mona Lisa - no, I'm in Greece - Marta, please stop yelling, I'm very tired -"

The most important thing to me about Benoit Blanc's costume design is that one of his outfits reminds me of this look on Cary Grant in To Catch A Thief

I fully believed Blanc is fucking dumb and that after his 4th date with Phillip he'd look at him, kind of startled like oh shit wait a minute what the fuck

Blanc: uhm. Phillip. Er, forgive me but... Is this a date?

Phillip: Ah yes, well done. I was worried that i hadn't been dropping enough clues.

Blanc: (realization dawning, mortified) oh my God...

Phillip: I understand that is primarily how detectives communicate, dont they? clues?

Blanc: Not primarily!!

Phillip: I was hoping for another death, so I could leave a formal invitation to dinner next to the murder weapon.

Blanc: (rolls his eyes) that won't be necessary. And my apologies. If it's any consolation i am very much enjoying being courted. Its just that we detectives are often so wrapped up in the not-so-obvious that we... overlook that which in retrospect is very obvious. Extremely obvious. (to himself) we walked around the park with gelato.

Phillip: no apologies needed, I figured you were fully occupied by Stuart's murder.

Blanc: well, I must confess I was only half occupied. Because you are very good looking. So this continues to be rather embarrassing.

While we like to joke about Izzy being in the wrong genre, I would argue that there are in fact at least five distinct genre universes in the world of Our Flag Means Death, and all of them have different rules.

Stede Bonnet, and his crew when they’re around him, live in a Muppet movie. I didn’t come up with this analogy but it’s so accurate. Insane physical comedy and comedy-action where no one really gets hurt. Mild peril but you know everything is gonna work out. Terrible puns and sight gags, but room for sweet, genuine emotional moments too. The rules of time, space, probability and logic will bend for a good joke.

Izzy Hands is in a grimdark action/drama where if someone gets stabbed in the gut they will behave normally and fucking die. (Probably slowly and painfully, of sepsis.) Crucially I think Izzy also lives in a genre where you can only be subtextually queer, and violence (done for or with or to each other) is the only acceptable form of intimacy between men. This is why being forcibly dragged into Stede’s world, where everyone is busy having silly low-stakes misadventures and being gay and emotionally available all over the main text–and seeing his Subtextual Boyfriend go into this world and love it–sends him round the twist.

The British, Spanish and other imperialist militaries are in a Master and Commander-style naval adventure where they’re the heroes. This is why they all take it completely seriously when Stede (unintentionally) kills Badminton and takes hostages, even though we can see that he bumbled his way into it ass-backwards. This is also why Stede is so shocked to get actually for real stabbed aboard the Spanish ship. (“Did you mean to do that?”) He didn’t realize until that moment that he’d stepped into a different genre. The stabbing is one of the first Surprise Genre Switch moments we get and in retrospect it’s very important for setting up that in this world, the threat of getting hurt or killed is very real–which we need to understand to know that there are real stakes much later, when Stede almost gets executed by the British.

"Hello darkness, my old friend"

Izzy Hands as the only human in a muppets film is one of the best descriptions I've seen of a character's energy

There's gotta be a better way of talking about fatigue cause I'll be standing there in the fucking trenches like thousand yard stare and I explain this as "I didn't sleep well last night." & everyone's just like "lol that's Sleepy Kurt! Why don't you go to bed earlier" I'll kill us both
