“Formation”—a paradox of a word. A dance or military formation connotes order, confidence, collective power, but the process of formation, usually the opposite. Becoming is often a mess. It can throw you off, isolate. This dichotomy is at the heart of queerness. It’s the hope of chosen community: becoming a radical, unforeseeable version of yourself in a circle of people doing the same.

When the Lin Manuel Miranda reference and subsequent jokes appear on NADDPOD what adds to the humour is that at least the main cast have all met him—Idk about Zac and Siobhan but Murph, Emily, Caldwell and Jake all appeared in at least one CollegeHumor sketch with him.

The Return of the Living Dead (1985)

"It worked in the movie!"

"Well, it ain't working now, Frank."

i love useless special interests! for example i realized recently that voice actors/voice acting is one of my lifelong special interests and i LOVE when i hear a narration in an ad that sounds like just a generic Narrator Voice but i immediately know (or at least have a suspicion of) who it is. the key bank ad on hulu came on and i almost immediately recognized the narrator as katey sagal (tbf im obsessed with futurama but i actually didn't clock her until a specific inflection change halfway into the ad and i suddenly heard leela and peggy bundy talking at me). recently there was an apple watch ad that had ty burrell. and another one, i don't remember what the ad was for (possibly metro pcs?), that i'm 99% sure was retta. my ears prick up like a dog when i recognize a voice. i will likely never have any actual productive use for this knowledge other than creeping out my friends but i like having it anyway

#ads are evil but i am allowed to find some joy. #mia.txt #im annoying to watch cartoons with bc i have to interrupt every few minutes to provide background on specific voice actors #and list several of their different roles in other shows #'li'l gideon is voiced by thurop van orman who is the creator of the misadventures of flapjack as well as the voice of flapjack. captain #k'nuckles is voiced by bill murray's brother brian doyle murray. he played the boss in christmas vacation as well as a ton of other roles #bubbie the whale is voiced by roz ryan who played among other roles the muse thalia in hercules. the voice of megara in that movie #was susan egan who played lin in spirited away! chihiro was voiced by daveigh chase who played lilo amd haku was james marsden #who has been the voice of max goof since 1995 and many other roles. and also li'l gideon's dad is played by stephen root who #played bill dauterive in king of the hill as well as lots of secondary characters. sorry you can unpause it now' #< me very recently #it had been a while since i did that and it felt so good. the previous voice actor infodump i committed was in response to a carvana ad #featuring rob corddry and brian huskey #bc then i had to start talking about bobs burgers and also about fallout new vegas bc rob corddry had a minor role in it #another example: i was watching a ride through video of the E.T. ride at universal studios and recognized billy west as one of the cops #tbf he was doing the zapp brannigan voice so its Intermediate Level recognition at best 😔 smh #CORRECTION BTW I MEAN JASON MARSDEN NOT JAMES MARSDEN!!! FUCK LIFE FUCK EVERYTHING I HATE BEING ALIVE #what sucks even worse is that i googled to double check the year on that fact just to be safe and i STILL TYPED THE WRONG NAME

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)

While I didn't enjoy this film, that doesn't mean you won't. No matter what I say, the people involved in this project did it: they actually made a movie. That's something to be applauded. With that established...

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift is an anomaly in the franchise. Even if you watch it in the “right” order, (which is between Fast and Furious 6… and its mid-credit scene), this feels like a movie that technically fits in the franchise rather than being a satisfying entry.

17-year-old Sean (Lucas Black) gets kicked out of his mother’s home after his latest racing stunt. Sent to Tokyo to live with his father, he becomes fascinated with Tokyo’s signature racing style – drifting. Under the tutelage of Han (Sung Kang) and with the help of his friend Twinkie (Bow Wow) this newcomer might have what it takes to become the DK (Drift King) and win the heart of the prettiest girl in school, Neela (Nathalie Kelley).

To understand Tokyo Drift, we must travel back to 2006. At this point, the Fast and Furious series was without Vin Diesel and directionless. While Sung Kang’s Han was retroactively added to the "family" later on, there are no recurring actors here. If you recast the role and excised a cameo at the very end, you’d think this was a pale imitation of the series rather than a fully-endorsed third chapter. It begins in high school with the sorriest excuse for a teenager in recent memory. You can practically see Lucas Black shaving his beard between takes. There’s no way, NO WAY he’s a teen but the film reminds us numerous times that he’s a minor. I know 2 Fast 2 Furious was dumb, but don’t expect us to be dumb for enjoying it! Not helping are the flat performances. Sung Kang has charisma. Everyone else is running on fumes. They’re either (Bow Wow), or wooden enough to be confused with talking logs.

This is a terrible sequel which ever way you look at it. The stakes are much lower than in Fast and Furious 6. They’re even lower than in 2 Fast 2 Furious, which makes it hard to care about anything. Even with the possible threat of violence and death from a high-speed car crash, this is a high school drama on wheels. When Sean gets schooled at a drifting race by pro drifter Takashi (Brian Tee), you're not surprised." Aww nuts! I guess I won’t impress that girl I like" - the one non-Asian girl in the school, by the way - and "Uh oh! Turns out she’s involved with the very same guy who beat me! What does she even see in him?"

If you’re watching the series in order, you can have fun with Tokyo Drift. Dumb as the plot may be, those Japanese ladies shaking their behinds in front of the even hotter cars is what you came to see. When those rides are in motion and performing those crazy stunts - the kind you’d only dream of - you better grab some napkins to wipe the drool from your chin. What makes those moves particularly spectacular is that unlike the kind of nonsense we're seeing in the franchise nowadays, you could theoretically do what these people are doing. There’s something about seeing something kinda-sorta attainable that resonates.

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift is largely composed of cool car stunts and missed opportunities with a big heaping’ helping of dumb on top. One can’t help but feel strange seeing an American kid travel to Tokyo and become prolific at the art of drifting, particularly in a series that's become so multicultural. No need to delve on that thought too much - no one involved did. Not even director Justin Lin, who’s since gone on to do much bigger and better things. Tokyo Drift is the kind of movie you wind up including in your collection if you like the series but would never watch if it weren’t for a crucial plot development about 2/3 of the way through.
