“Ted Lasso,” “Yellowjackets,” “The Last of Us,” “Succession.” When are we gonna talk about H2O: Just Add Water.

#i’m NOT insulting people who watch those shows I’m sure they’re all great #this is simply a silly little joke where i jokingly ask why people are talking about popular dramas airing on television currently #and not a pg rated show about mermaids with water powers from 2008 #h2o just add water

“Dude, all I know was I was in close and they’re like ‘a little power’ and I look down and saw the ******* back of the ship above me and I was like AHHHHHHH!!!!” — A pilot literally shaking after a night carrier landing

PBS Carrier (2008) Ep 7: Rites of Passage

#pls watch #I’m begging #you won’t regret it #PBS Carrier #aircraft carriers #I like planes #and aircraft carriers #top gun #video #aviation #fighter pilots #NOTE the playlist is out of order #really good show btw very candid and open and covers a lot of v difficult topics #at least watch episode 7 pls #it’s such a shenanigans filled episode and then with the pitching deck it’s crazy #reference #this is why top gun opened with the night carrier landing #Maverick #F/A-18 hornet #2008 #airplanes

Sometimes I think about watching Tea and Sympathy (a peculiarly 1950s movie that is against toxic masculinity while still being homophobic) with my dad, and how disappointed he was in Laura for sleeping with Tom at the end. “Awww come on,” he said, like he’d seen a bad play in a football game. “That’s not necessary.”

#tea and sympathy #he also declared his disapproval while watching game of thrones #of Jaime/Cersei #‘there’s no reason to do that’ he said #(of the characters not the show) #in the same tone that he used when we saw the dark knight in 2008 #and he saw that some people had brought their very young children #a tone of very mild disapproval is what I’m saying

I don’t know what it is about the Jane Austen adaptations I’ve seen recently, but they just have so much trouble sticking the landing.

#i mean #ANY mansfield park adaptation?? #especially 1999 but that one has a whole bunch of other stuff wrong with it too #and I almost GET IT because in the book the conclusion *is* very quick #but isn’t the point of an adaptation to expand on what is missing in the book? #also Emma and p&p #both of those books have such good rich things happen after the accepted proposals but the major adaptations just totally gloss over that?? #Harriet and Robert meeting again in London! where’s my Emma adaptation that gives me that?! #Lizzy and Darcy being all cute after she accepts him!!! #I really feel like #in a miniseries ideally Darcy’s proposal and knightley’s proposal would both be at the *beginning* of the last episode #not almost at the end of it #because let! the other! things! happen! #let Austen’s storytelling shine!!! #can’t speak for the book in s&s discourse because I never finished it but like. 1995 and 2008 both had lovely endings #it’s not too hard in that sense #but it also is??? apparently? if we’re going by the 1981 #need to watch the 70s one too #AND D O N ‘ T get me started on mansfield park #where ?! WHERE?!?! is my adaptation where we actually get to see Edmund slowly falling for Fanny at the end???? #(I do not see 1999 it doesn’t exist) #like no. because in that one they paint Edmund like he’s been in love with Fanny forever and. no???? #and then 2007 with him just having this random epiphany- what? two weeks after he breaks up with Mary? #and then he just runs out and kdrama-arm-grabs Fanny in the garden and kisses her??? HATE IT THANKS #at least when kdramas do it it’s kind of romantic #this Edmund was just creepy #and since we’re back on this discussion PLEASE I’VE BEEN ON MY KNEES give us a likeable Edmund!!!!! #I just used up my tag limit so I’m gonna tag this for my files and shut up and go to bed :) <3 #elly's posts #jane austen

Everyone what was your earliest weird as fuck memory, mine was when I was watching the local news when I was little and they found the Montauk Monster on a shore near me and showed it, because what the FUCK was that and what the FUCK happens in Montauk on Long Island

#my thoughts #cryptids #montauk #it was July of 2008 and I was watching news 8 never forget #there’s like rumors about weird government sites in Montauk #like that’s partially what stranger things is based on #but idk man it was weird as hell and it’s been 15 years and I’m still confused #they say it’s a water degraded raccoon corpse but I know raccoons and that shit does not look like a raccoon #once my parents saved 3 baby raccoons from getting hit on my street by picking them up with oven mitts #I know raccoons man #why do I sound like a weird local in any found footage horror film ever

This silent auction was a fundraiser for a theater and y’all Phil must have LOVED that damn theater bc getting him to agree to this feels like a miracle

#dinner and a private film screening with philip seymour hoffman. the dream of so many. and his nightmare �� #if anyone knows who won the psh dinner at the westport auction in 2008 please get in touch with me I need DETAILS #what was the film? did he pick it? it couldn’t have been one of his own films. did the winner pick it? where did they watch it? #I’m so fascinated……

[you-are-joking]

does anybody remember the line “lance . . . elot. your name is lancelot???” because i’ve just watched lancelot’s intro episode and arthur didn’t say the second part, wondering if i hallucinated it

#(it’s episode 1x05 around 12:30 for reference) #i’m watching on tubi #wondering if it got cut for some reason? #or else i’ve rewritten my memory of that scene #possibly whatever was originally broadcast in 2008 has been since edited #god it’s been a long time #send help #merlin #bbc merlin

[graveyardrabbit]

me: it’s been a long and terrible week today, but there’s time for a nice comfort movie before bed :)

the movie:

#I’m making fun of myself here #this is the only thing the bad brain will let me focus on so here we are #anyway this is also me saying #you want to watch The Last Confession Of Alexander Pearce (2008) #you want to watch The Last Confession Of Alexander Pearce (2008) so so bad

The number of really famous people in Jaqueline Wilson adaptations never fails to amaze me

#currently watching the 2008 dustbin baby adaptation #which I was too young for the first time around #and I’m shocked #Jacqueline Wilson

[lifeisablackhole9]

hey for lotr should i do chronological order or start with fotr?

#haven’t seen these movies since i was forced to watch them in 2008 #now that i won’t spite-hate it i’m actually kinda excited #also i’m assuming the directors cut is the way to go even though it’s like suuuuper long right?

I have many criticisms of tales of the jedi, but the main one is… why ? What’s the point of rehashing the comics and novels that much ? If that was to answer questions, people could look for the comics. Lots of these anecdotes felt redundant, things we could already easily deduct from previous media to me.

Also I’m not gonna lie I love the prequel era as much as the next guy but I’m tired 90%of the animated shows being set in it and recreating scenes of it. Feels like nostalgiabait more than a genuine exploration of the time period. I am also getting tired of lines being added for the sole purpose of getting people to point and shout like master like padawan !! Meaningless repetitions driving a point already made many times. The history of the Jedi spans so much more time than those 13 years we already have 3movies and hours of shows about, and harbours so much more diversity than the 6 members of the disaster lineage can ever exemplify, but it’s their stories that get told over and over the highest budget projects of Star Wars. Tell me a tale of high republic jedi, tell me about Luke’s student at his temple, tell me something long after the sequel trilogy, tell me the myths of the old republic. Why call it Tales of the Jedi as if it was about the Jedi as a whole if it’s gonna be tales of that one specific lineage

#dishing filoni a very stop making all your fictions so repetitive #the soundtrack did slap and some scenes hit but. aside from that #voice cast and clone model suck etc etc #not tagging totj cause i don’t want to add to it trending #the contrast with this week’s episode of Andor is startling. something with a message and nuance and perfect execution #vs filonis usual insensitivity #and stealing interesting concepts of the comics while executing it so poorly the point gets lost and the attempts at nuance fail #sam speaks #star wars #i watched it illegally and I advice you to do the same #tales of the Jedi felt more like prequel/tcw cutscenes than worthwhile stories #and with it airing at the same time as Andor it’s just even worse #all this hype and the fandom preferring it and racial insensitivity….. for unnecessary stories 2pretty shots and meaningless callbacks #I feel like this show treated me like I was stupid. as if repeating the three same lines in the same episode was gonna make me cry #as if I was incapable of coming up with explanation for dookus fall by myself. as if I needed to see it him delete kamino #as if they needed to straight up add the s7 o66 scene for me to understand that’s what the episode recontextualised #I digress. I’m disappointed and the good parts are not overweighting the mediocre and the fucked up racist context #people call Andor a pointless spin off when the way it’s done gives it purpose and teeth and nuance. #filoni has been making pointless prequel spin offs noone initially asked for and unnecessarily filling gaps since 2008 #I will give it that there were attempts to add nuance to Jedi identity. a lot of it fell flat tho #it’s so blatant filon just wants to make more and more prequels and that’s what drives what gets made #stoked for the acolyte series. finally something in a new time period
