one of my greatest purchases was this contact sheet from the x-files preservation museum

#and now we all benefit! #images that would have made me lose my tiny mind in 1997 #though it’s probably for the best as these are from 1998 and the movie n’est pas? #im considering losing it now just for funsies #x-files #i also blame jo

SOFIA BOUTELLA as KORA REBEL MOON – PART TWO: THE SCARGIVER April 19th 2024 | dir. Zack Snyder

#rebel moon #who was it that said sci fi is about women in tank tops with like space wrenches and toolbelts and whatnot #i feel like one already knows if one wishes to see a zach snyder star wars expy or not so like trust your heart on that one #but like #i do. want to see that. #and i want to see sofia boutella with this haircut and covered in blood #while she alternates between murder and soft emoting #quite often in slo mo #the heart wants what the heart wants! #i like when she’s sad and i like when she’s shooting people - in space! #jokes aside ‘why can’t i have this one thing’ broke me a little bit

Sketch for a portrait of Justus Van Meerstraeten (about 1634) - Anthony Van Dyck

#anyway i saw this pencil sketch by van dyck at the ashmolean recently and he’s so economical with marks it’s upsetting #maximum bang for your (2mm chalk mark) buck #anthony van dyck #art

Ladyhawke (1985)

#ladyhawke #such an ideal example of an apology #instead of ‘sorry i hurt you but no i didn’t’ #or ‘sorry you were hurt but i didn’t intend that so no i didn’t’ #or ‘sorry but you should realise i wasn’t in control of myself so therefore no i didn’t’ #or ‘sorry i hurt you but it’s your fault you should have avoided that’ #like dude is literally in a werewolf scenario he has an out re: cutting his friend to ribbons by accident climbing out of an icy river #one might expect any number of shitty non-apologies #added to that by nature he’s already a bit of a grumpy asshole anyway as like a baseline personality bc of His Tragic Backstory #and still: as soon as he sees it he asks about it and as soon as he knows it’s IMMEDIATE CONTRITION #no clearer demo of a purpose of amendment than etienne of navarre

'inspector morse is dead!' - robbie lewis, the remorseful day

#endeavour #inspector morse #you can see it coming and it still hits #anyway i’ve been dipping into 80s-90s inspector morse #and superintendent strange mentions ‘my wife’ one time in front of morse and i want to chew furniture #also not having seen the morse ep about copley-barnes and only having seen Trove: #me at the start of the ep: oh hey it’s the same character that was played by jamie parker but now later in middle age #me at the end of the ep: OOF.

Been thinking about them lately.

#have gotten used to thinking about cassian andor in the context of the tv show #(eg journey from innocence to experience etc) #but then i remember the slightly different andor from rogue one #aka the ‘fuck it we ball’ cassian andor #with alan tudyk robot #and their little dark comedy duo routine #and i’m like yeah time for a R1 rewatch #illustration #star wars #rogue one

BULL DURHAM (1988) — dir. Ron Shelton

#i tend to forget how purely enjoyable this movie is like a perfect crispy apple or a sunday nap #it’s not complicated but like all i know about baseball is it’s wrong round cricket that americans play but this movie doesn’t mind #it welcomes you to minor league baseball via sarandon’s graceful principled groupie #and holds your hand while kevin costner drops approximately 800 f-bombs through a film that looks like a norman rockwell painting #all golden and peach-coloured afternoons #while tim robbins is a himbo for the ages #in a love triangle with enough 3-way chemistry to power a small state #i think maybe the americans invented baseball in order that there could be baseball movies #and you know what? good call #bull durham

Boyd Holbrook as John McBride THE CURSED (2021)

#not on display here but the men’s costuming in Eight For Silver aka The Cursed is actually really nice #i mean if you look for that in your little historical/monster horror mash up #the mash up being probably like the ‘quiet yet gross and sticky’ aspects of Alien plus probably Crimson Peak-y gothic vibes #of people just NOT talking about why there’s so much blood everywhere bc they’re far too polite #also i enjoyed the shot on film low-light/candle-light winter gloom of it all #and sean ellis is not afraid to hold an action long shot for 10-15 seconds which is a pretty confident move #(​which i guess is the kind of thing you can do when you write AND direct AND are cinematographer on your own movie lol) #anyway shout out to boyd holbrook for being the same age and hollywood ecological niche as chris evans but just refusing to have a six pack #and he’s in superhero movies! he was in an x-men! he’s surrounded by hemsworths and skarsgards washbords: he’s like nope that’s not for me #must drive his agent mental #say no to dehydration and spray tan! ​i appreciate your consistent Just Some Guy bod #for a non-comedian it’s getting ​rare these days to see Just Some Person bodies #anyway this movie was a gross nasty little good time of people in starched collars getting ripped apart #eight for silver #the cursed
