Maybe it's a 'study finds water is wet' type of thought, but

considering it's an action movie whose overall plot is "immortal warriors Fuck Shit Up™️", I think it's significant that in The Old Guard the thing that makes Copley pull red strings through his Murder Conspiracy Board and say "[Merrick] doesn't care what [Andy]'s done with [her immortality]" is the people they save, not the ones they kill

Most of the Conspiracy Board is him circling random newspaper headlines and faces on old photographs to (more or less realistically) follow the immortals' treck through the world and big historical events. Which is, in-canon, not much different than putting portraits from different centuries next to a picture of Keanu Reeves and saying "they look the same, clearly Reeves is an immortal!"

But then there are the connections. A little girl holding Joe's hand in WW1 becoming the youngest (and first) woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize for Medicine (suck it, Kozak). Or the grandchild of a family that Andy saved from [something] helping people escape from the Khmer Rouge genocide in Cambodia.

They are warriors. They have fought and been in the midst of countless wars, major or minor, throughout history. They must have killed as many people as they saved... and yet.

It's not them taking out a random warlord or dictator or rabidly hateful politician that has tangible repercussions in history. It's the children and families they get out of war zones, save from accidents, protect from natural disasters. People to whom they give a second chance at life, and grow to change the world (or even just their own world), like a mysterious stranger once changed theirs just by holding out a hand or patching a wound.

I don't know I just think it's particularly neat

#my ponderings #the old guard #I know we all love to play the 'if you could go back in time and kill One Person who would it be' game #but I think a movie that makes it EXTREMELY SATISFYING to see the Bad Guys die - #- having 'actually the best and greatest changes happen when people help each other' as its underlying message... #it means something #I also think it connects to Andy feeling like nothing she does changes anything at the start of the movie #for 80% of her life you could Solve A Problem by Taking Out The Guy Causing The Problem #especially in battle! you kill the general and you win. if you win the Problem Is Solved #but then everything becomes More Complex. the Problems™️ are globalized and/or systemic. #and Winning a Battle means just killing people. it doesn't Stop The Problem (nor really end a war) #so it feels useless #and even when they save people... they can’t stay in people's lives for long because immortality #which means they can never know what happens to the people they save #they don't (and can't) have the full picture

it was inevitable as the tides, but it has come to my attention now that if i talk about how sexy Thrax was without specifying "thrax from cinematic masterpiece Osmosis Jones released in 2001" a lot of people get really confused bc they don't know who that is bc they're officially a generation removed from me at this point

rather than go "ugh kids these days" (like cmon don't be That Guy) or "ugh no i feel old" (I don't! guess I'm built different) i will ever so happily inform so a whole new batch of people can enjoy a something very unique and special to my heart that kicks fucking ass and hope they enjoy it too

and that a something is Osmosis Jones. especially the villain of Osmosis Jones. his name his Thrax. he is an lethal virus that is never fully identified (it's implied he is the Red Death, from the Edgar Allen Poe story, but real); other viruses don't recognize him, and he's so reliably stealthy and lethal he possibly hasn't even been properly discovered by science yet. he also only gets more lethal and dangerous as he infects new people, treating how fast he can kill his current host with fever as a PR he has to beat every time until he can cook your brain to death SO quickly after infection that he will go down in history as the single most dangerous illness known to humans.

so yeah take a look and appreciate what set the bar for my villainfucker sleeper code. they don't make em quite like this anymore. content warning for bright orange body horror. legit plays out like a scene in a horror movie.

stupid sexy virus

#osmosis jones #thrax #sporadic warbling #the other thing you should know about this movie if you never even heard of it #is while MOST of it is animated #the human the plot takes place inside of/framing device is live action and that part of the movie is like Eh... #bill murry eats an hard boiled egg off the ground after it was spat out of a zoo animal's mouth (this is how Thrax gets into his body btw) #he projectile vomits bad oysters at one point and there's a snapshot photo of this bc a kid had a camera at just the right time #you have to see physical/traditional FX zit pop in extreme close up like this movie is Gross #i love it #Youtube

the sonic fandubs mean everything to me

[id: a four-part comic with sonic and shadow:

in the first two parts, they're drawn in color in halfbody shots. shadow is solemnly gazing at the green chaos emerald that he has floating in his hands, his ears pinned back. sonic is looking upward at something, shading his eyes. he brightly says, "Shadow, Shadow you're an asshole man."

closing his eyes and gesturing with one hand, Shadow casually replies, "You are what you eat, Sonic." sonic stares at him blankly, taken off guard.

in the last two parts, the view is pulled back to see them as fullbodies shots, and they're single-colored (shadow red, sonic blue) and in a more basic stick figure art style. "What the- what the hell man? oh my god," sonic exclaims, surprised, while shadow just kind of looks at him.

then sonic leans forward a little, points at him, and cheekily says, "that was kinda sick!" with an awkward laugh, shadow puts a hand on a hip and replies, "thanks I worked hard on it." end id]

#monotoneart #sonic the hedgehog #shadow the hedgehog #sonic #i checked back in the video while doing this and it turns out shadow has all 7 emeralds but im not adding those snrksksf #im having so much fun drawing these guys yall have no idea omggg #i need to draw shadow and maria so bad #also while i am. Very Neutral. about the lore of the movies i also must draw sonic and longclaw #i love her and i love the idea of sonic being raised by a giant owl warrior. an owl guardian u might say... #AND SONIC AND TAILS. #im extremely weak for found family scenarios

OP HOW ARE WE FEELING....... THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ALL AROUND...... genuinely distraught... someone take dcmk away from gosho fr...

sorry anon the tone of this ask are not specifically directed to you, its more to the general KS posts i've been seeing on my fyp

don't plan to address this since im not even a KS account but i'm starting to get peeved seeing a bunch of ppl act victimized like gosho did that cuz he personally hates KS shippers

i'm a huge gosho aoyama hater myself but come on that man probably thinks there's nothing wrong with first cousin dating in the first place (addendum one: shuake, addendum two: hanzawa love interest being his own countryside cousin) i'd even dare to say based on his unintentional world view its him encouraging KS shippers instead

for this account i'll make sure to tag any future KS to avoid icking those bothered by the reveal but for the record any KS made by me are not closely related

#they might be distantly related tho cuz that's funnier to me *gunshot* #movie 27 #movie spoiler #asks #personal #sorry for those whose world are crumbling down by this reveal but to me this situation is extremely funny #which is why i dont plan to even address it im not even a KS shipper i dont have the right to laugh publicly when there are- #-people who are genuinely distraught 😭😭 #“but the twincest case! its been protrayed as bad!” yea and twin raw dogging it is illegal while first cousin marriage is legal in jp #just trying to prove what kind of outdated worldview this man has dont shoot the messenger #even saw ppl accusing gosho hating KS shippers cuz they outnumbers his 'beloved' shinran 😂 #if gosho respect shinran that much he wouldn't be pandering to coai. KS shipper is the least of his problem. that man is just a capitalist #speaking of straight ships the shinran vs coai war on chinese and arabic twitter are one of the most obnoxious group of ppl i've ever seen #one of this days im gonna do a rant on that

dave foley as chris, it's pat (1994)

Sorry to curse the dashboards of mankind with this film. But. chris is very pretty so its worth it. lorddd this movie is terrible, everyone says this about 90% of his filmography but dave is genuinely the only watchable part of this movie... I love you chris, pat doesn't deserve you 💔

#I ONLY WATCHED THIS MOVIE BECAUSE JASPER SAID IT WAS WORTH IT. GUYS. #i thought this movie was occasionally really pretty when we got to see certain locations. interiors and exteriors. im a sucker for how #some movies looked in the 90s. #i liked.... some of mr devoguys music YES MOTHERSBAUGH did the score and it was weird but i also loved the. love theme. its cute #obviously. chris.... and ween was fun. #everything else. not good. i wasnt expecting it to be so i wasnt terribly floored but MAN. what a bad concept to base a film on #extremely poorly aged. time capsule of our perspective on gnc people. androgynous. nb and trans ppl. dismal #dave foley #chris riley #it's pat

Gee John, How Come Your Dad Lets You Watch Three Movies?!

Alright. I suffered through THREE of John's movies today, and all of them were extremely bad. All three of them had terrible dialogue and boring characterization, Face/Off was mostly gunfights, Armageddon was mostly explosions, and Ghost Dad was mostly an absolute fever dream clearly signed off by a very drugged up executive.

However, I do see why John likes these movies. John is a Nic Cage fan, and I do think both Cage and Travolta gave great performances in Face/Off. The weird, experimental science aspect is fun too, and might have a link to John's chumhandle - I can see him getting curious about how the facial transplant surgery works. Mistaken identity is an interesting theme - John feels like his dad doesn't know him well, thinking he'd like harlequin dolls and cakes, and might think his dad sees him as a different person. People on Discord have theorized that John's arc will be realizing she's transgender, which is REALLY interesting in light of this movie and its focus on physical features vs actual identity.

Armageddon has the same basic premise as Deep Impact - a meteor will destroy the Earth if the American government can't figure out a way to stop it - but on a much shorter timeframe. I personally think Deep Impact is miles better, but Armageddon is very focused on American masculinity and a motley crew of men who live dangerous, somewhat criminal lives (it's more similar to Con Air in this regard). We know John likes a Cool Movie Moment (see p.20) and this one is basically fifty lab-grown Cool Movie Moments stitched together.

Both these movies are very long and very action packed. Armageddon barely takes time away from the action to give us the characters' names, and since John probably watches movies for escapism, this must be appealing to him. Their major characters have very exciting lives, whether that's working for the FBI, as a terrorist, as a deep sea oil driller or as an astronaut - John probably isn't concerned with the politics of these things, they're simply cooler kinds of people who he could grow up to be, and it's fun to imagine himself in their place because it beats his current life.

Ghost Dad is completely irredeemable. [ooc 2024 note: I don't endorse watching movies that feature Bill Cosby, who is a known terrible guy, and I can guarantee he did not receive any money from my watching this.] It's horrifically written and plotted and none of the humor lands. But, it makes perfect sense that John and his dad would watch this, as it's about a family who pranks each other. The son is an aspiring magician just like John (and is similarly bad at it), and John might even have got his interest in magic from watching this.

The dad spraying whipped cream on a top hat is very Dad Egbert-coded, and John might love the idea of having a ghost in his house who can pilot clothes around while invisible and float up to windows to scare mean kids. Meanwhile, Dad clearly likes to show John movies that feature parents eventually choosing their kids over their career. (It seems like he shows this with his actions, too - he's clearly not at work today, and John's feeling suffocated in the house suggests that Dad is there most of the time).

MOVIES WATCHED: 10/11

MOST RECENT MOVIES:

Face/Off (1997) - Rating 4/10

Armageddon (1998) - Rating 3/10

Ghost Dad (1990) - Rating 1/10

#ghost dad gets 1/10 because i still cried. #ive cried at every movie ive ever seen and would only give 0 if i didnt cry #john's movies #homestuck #one to go !! #thoughts on meteor movies: #deep impact is very neoliberal but feels well meaning and optimistic in a 90s way #meanwhile armageddon is very cynical libertarian and is literally oil company propaganda #i read an intro book on media studies that said 'media can make a bad character likeable by positioning them against other worse characters #i disagree with this. i am extremely capable of not rooting for anybody in a movie

queen guinevere and vanessa redgrave....... the women that you are

#thought this was a good day to post this #guinevere is such a compelling character that's been reduced to two extreme sides of an spectrum a lot of times #she's either a femme fatale or an ingenue #or simply a love interest #and all of that is SAD and BORING #she was not only a wife. she was a queen #i particularly love how this movie portrays her. yes. she makes a bad decision and does things that may not be right. #yet she is not cruel or a bad person because of it. she's flawed. #nor she is a saint- one damned or too innocent to know better that's kept by the narrative as only that. she's flawed. #she's also a tragic hero. she's not limited by black or white. she has all these beautiful and violent colors!!! #she has the power to both ruin and save herself #and i love that. she can be really interesting when writers care about her as her own character and not only as a wife or a lover. #camelot #camelot movie #camelot (1967) #camelot 1967 #arthuriana #arthurian legend #queen guinevere #guinevere #vanessa redgrave #my edit #arthuriana edits

It's been more than 20 years and for some reason I feel that Gosho hasn't given Kaiao any development, how can more than 20 years pass and Aoko dynamics, relationship and feelings remain the same? At this point I feel like Gosho is just going to make them date because "they already liked each other" they remain in the same status quo

Hey, if we go by DC romance progress, they've been going too fast. We've already had suspicion of identity chapters, and that didn't happen until more than 400 chapters in DC. /j

Since heists have taken over any character development recently, I don't even know if Kaito and Aoko will even get any romantic progress. Maybe the actual identity confrontation will happen down the line, since that's thief drama, but atm, it really wouldn't surprise me if they only ask each other on a real date at the very end of the manga.

Like. I'm sure Gosho would love to make MK a love drama as well, but he writes MK so rarely, and usually as hype for something Kid related in other media. So the MK stories tend to be heavy on drama that can only take place at Kid heists. (To the point that the new chapters just. Use Kid as the plot device to show off a new character. Even Hakuba's never gotten so much 'look at this character being a detective' treatment in MK.)

-sighs- I just feel bad for MK as a series at this point. I like the characters, I like the general story idea, but. It's been going down a very steep hill with Gosho wanting things exciting, but not wanting any real progress in. Anything. But unlike old MK, the new stories aren't even nice standalone setpieces of story, they're... mundane. They could be high stakes, if you purely look at the scenarios on paper, but. We all know nothing's gonna happen to Kid. Nothing even happens to him when the actual bad guys show up, much less one-time antagonists.

We need actual character focus and development, not heist drama. Badly. Not even romance, though that'd be a nice change. Just any character expansion of our limited cast of characters. Gosho wants big, all the time, meaningless big stuff, when small would be so nice.

#And also he probably won't care to expand on KaiAo when he knows it's already canon #Like; not in the same way that ShinRan is canon endgame and he just needed to write it out #But in a 'I said these two were dating in another manga; they will exist even if I haven't written it' #And his story atm does feel like it could be left off with an ambiguous note on if they're together or not #And then just leave them dating in Yaiba for people who care about confirmation #MK is not in a stable enough state; I really don't know what he's planning with anything #And it's been so. -gestures to all the 'meaningless big stuff'- lately #I don't know if it'll ever get any shift in focus in the future #We barely get anything; all we have now is a new character people are divided about #And the tiniest continuity of Aoko thinking to herself that Kid is teasing her by reminding her of Kaito #Like; part of the problem is continuity as well; at least if Gosho wants to stick with DC-ish MK #MK has all the potential for callbacks or returning characters that could be interesting #But none of the potential that fans enjoy is ever /used/ #We got all our KaiAo up front. We have suspicion arcs where it's barely mentioned that Kaito's proven his innocence in the past #They could go back to the amusement park and Aoko could mention the movie and Kaito can be sweating #Because he never saw the movie; that's then he peaced out to go heisting #There's so much. Gosho's good at adding potential to his story #But everything he comes up with to make canon ends up disappointing because he never fully uses any of it #He just adds more and more elements that go nowhere #MK is a mess that gets more and more fun to play around in; but the actual chapters are. Bad #Which might be for a reason similar to DC of we wait so long and get something extremely meh #Except instead of the months between DC cases; it's years for MK; and DC fans complain the entire time #So when MK fans are fed crumbs of... anything. It's just not as enjoyable as new content should be #(I got rambly in tags; sorry ;._. )

watching spto and

1. I'm having so much fun. I'm so happy this show exists

2. you can very easily tell which actors have done voice work before and which took their skill in film acting and put it into voice acting akdkflhj it's interesting!

#like it's not bad or anything it's just. changes the vibe of certain lines or even whole scenes 🤔 #i do think it's extremely cool that they got the movie's cast tbh :)

Happy Queer Media Monday!

Today: Happiest Season (2020)

Look. If I don’t talk about this movie now, then I never will.

(Abby and Harper on their Christmas light viewing date, before The Plot really starts.)

Happiest Season is a 2020 lesbian Christmas movie notable for its famous cast. The story follows Abby and Harper, a perfectly happy couple, whose relationship is tested when they visit Harper’s family over the holidays. What Harper didn’t tell Abby until they get there: She isn’t out to her family, and is asking Abby to stay closeted, too, and pretend that they are only random roommates. Family drama ensues.

The movie was received very well when it came out. However, for once, I would like to add my own experience watching it, because I feel it might be useful:

I didn’t like it. It didn’t make me feel good. I was going through some serious conflict with my own family, and this movie kind of amplified that pain. Of course, that was me and my private life, but I had been promised a light-hearted comedy, only to be hit over the head with a rather serious story about families and their lack of acceptance. So my advice would be: DON’T EXPECT A COMEDY. It’s not escapism. If you approach this movie as a serious drama, then it is 1) really well-made and generally a good watch, and 2) has actual interesting things to say about the queer experience.

Queer Media Monday is an action I started to talk about some important and/or interesting parts of our queer heritage, that people, especially young people who are only just beginning to discover the wealth of stories out there, should be aware of. Please feel free to join in on the fun and make your own posts about things you personally find important!

#it is not a bad movie not at all #I actually would recommend it #but ONLY with the disclaimer that it has been wrongly marketted #Christmas time is a bit messy for a lot of people especially in the queer community #so yeah do know that this movie has some heavy themes #on an unrelated note: #HOW THE FUCK HAS IT ONLY BEEN THREE YEARS?! #feels like ages #movies #christmas movies #Happiest Season #lesbian movies #queer movies #Queer Media Monday #I'm extremely early today #seems I missed making these posts #also I wrote this while procrastinating working on a serious story so

the way i rewatch any part of rottmnt and once again come away from canon leo wondering where the actual heck are people getting this “oohhhh he only thinks he’s good for self sacrifice or as a tool, he has absolutely zero self worth whatsoever” instead of the canon version who’s kind of a manipulative lil stinker and KNOWS he has stuff to bring to the table but isn’t sure how to be Seen

it’s not that he thinks he’s worthless or not wanted. i fuckin promise you that about rise leo. he does not seriously think he is unloved or unwanted or ~one mistake away from being dropped by his own family~ or whatever

what he IS is rejection-sensitive in the way that makes any time he fails feel like the end of the world to HIM (setting aside that time he messed up and it did literally trigger the near-apocalypse and near deaths of him and his family lol), so he’d rather not try than risk messing up

#rottmnt #if i woobified raph the way ppl do leo itd be like 3k word essay on how #idk #the ms cuddles prank was actually extremely cruel and insensitive and CLEARLY why raph had so many trust issues #esp w his dad laughing at him etc etc etc etc like #i dont get it i really dont!!!! #like even as far as the movie goes raph kinda. suffered.... more. yk. #im not big on suffering olympics but like. #raph also self sacrificed and got physically beat up in the big alien fight #AND tortured AND mutated AND mind probed AND controlled into hurting his own family #raph literally starts the movie trying to explain to leo how it is HIS JOB to keep their whole family safe and ready for the next struggle #his entire finale arc is about how tied into the identity of protector and carrying them all he really is and how bad that is on him #fandom makes me so mad when the canon material itself i always enjoy and want to pick apart even for leo #(who frankly im burnt out on! bc of the overwhelming attention he always gets!)
