why I suddenly see many takes like "the dance is actually about how feudalism is bad you shouldn't like neighter side" like sorry but this is so CLEARLY not what GRRM wanted to say here 😭

#I mean monarchy is wrong we all agree on that I hope #but the dance is such a straightforward tale don't know how can be misinterpreted so bad #just look at how it's written...there are very very few flashed out characters guess on wich side #also it doesn't end with like 'and smallfolk suffered a lot 😢' #wich I'm sure they did by the way #the whole story endedwith like 'and then there was never a WOMAN queen and the dragons died out #simple as that #grrm needed to acknowledge why there was never a targaryen queen and how the dragons died so quickly #also he is a history nerd and wanted to write his own anarchy and matilda and if you know history that's all you need to know really #house of the dragon #hotd

there's something so endearing about Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone friendship and artistic collaboration if you think about it what were the chances of a greek man with such a peculiar and personal style finding his muse in a girl grown up in arizona on the other side if the world and their collaboration brings out the BEST of her as an actress and you can tell so clearly from the films they make that they trust each other so much. It's honestly one of the best actor/director duo of our generation because you can clearly see the creative energy floating both ways ekevating each other's work it's beautiful

#i love seeing people making art and be friends #also leo and scorsese are up there like he's never so good as he is with martin directing #emma stone #yorgos lanthimos

Donald Glover & Maya Erskine as John & Jane Smith MR. & MRS. SMITH (2024)

#I didn't expect this to be so good it's SO GOOD #the chemistry is insane there are parts where I'm pretty sure were improvised cause they were so natural #anyway it's great and probably one of the best and funniest take on the arranged marriage trope #mr and mrs smith

there’s a line that writers and actors spout that rhaenyra and alicent are “torn apart by men” that i find irritating and i think leads to my major problems with the last two episodes…it’s not that they are actively being torn apart by men at that point (although the show tries to shoehorn this as the explanation) but that their lives have been irrevocably shaped by patriarchal dictates to the degree that they possess needs and desires that put them in conflict. as a child alicent was made queen by her father and bore children that are a challenge to rhaenyra’s claim so she has no choice but to dispute that claim to preserve the lives of her children under this feudal system; rhaenyra’s father made her heir while also having a son, meaning that son, who is alicent’s, is an inherent threat to rhaenyra as long as he breathes and vice versa. and rhaenyra and alicent in episodes 6-8 are intelligent enough to know this. which is why otto and daemon taking the lead and being at odds with them in episodes 9 and 10 rings false to me. alicent’s surprise at her father’s coup does not accord with her understanding in episode 6 that aegon is a threat to rhaenyra and so to preserve his life he must become king; rhaenyra’s hesitance to go to war is at odds with her proposal to daemon in episode 6 to become her husband and wage her wars to put her on the throne and inherit the legacy of her father that she so longs to inhabit and to protect her and her own children. their lives were shaped as girls in such a way that they have come to genuinely possess violently diverging goals. the show tries to say at the last minute those goals are actually the same but men are trying to puppeteer them against each other, which is a far cheaper story about how patriarchy prevents bonds between women on a systematic level than the one where it happens when you are young, that your life takes certain paths in response to patriarchal prerogative, that your interests and those of father and husband are in alignment, not naturally but in response to pressures that serve to maintain the order of things that you are embedded in, that certain doors and ways you can relate to other women can close.

#perfectly said op #I've said this before but we could have had a much more intresting story and nuanced caracther #house of the dragon

A MURDER AT THE END OF THE WORLD Chapter 2: The Silver Doe

#loving this! #not really what I expected from brit marling but still I'm hooked #a murder at the end of the world

[giudittas]

I still really don't like how the show is overlooking that the main conflict is between rhaenyra and aegon and completely ignoring their relationship

#at the end of the day this is a fight between siblings #that's what makes everything heartbreaking #also the climax of the story is literally aegon and rhaenyra facing each other at the end #how is that gonna pay off emotionally if they didn't set up a relationship between them? #house of the dragon
