Rockefeller Center highrise along 5th Ave / Avenue of the Americas. While the 1930s Art Deco buildings have subtle setbacks, the newer Modernist buildings look like monolyths without any human scale. From 'Inside New York' (1991)

Idk if anyone has a similar AU out there but PoM if the Central Park Zoo was more accurate in terms of the animals present and their locations

#art #penguins of madagascar #private #kowalski #skipper #Rico #king julien #Maurice #mort #it doesn’t detract from the show but when watching it I’m constantly thinking about how the penguins are in the Sea Lion habitat #fun fact! you can watch sea Lion feeding from the park without payin for the zoo since they’re in the central location #the penguins are in a separate building for just them and the puffins #puffins are kinda in a corner that can’t be seen to the penguins #and the lemurs are practically across the zoo in the tropics building #what DOES detract from the show is the 59th st 5th ave station being mislabeled #or like whatever station they’re claiming is by the zoo that has the 2 4 and 5 lines all labeled yellow #the 2 is on the OPPOSITE SIDE of the park from the 4 and 5 and also none of them are yellow #in this AU I also fix this issue #cpz accuracy au #gyor approved

obsessed with the fact that scarecrow 1973 said every woman they meet wants to sleep with gene hackman and none of them notice al pacino in his peak poor little meow meow era

#scarecrow 1973 #gene hackman #al pacino #he is a poor little meow meow in the 70s bc it is like #he is a pathetic little wet kitten #and he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th ave and we'd be like #well what did they do to him? why were they mean to him?

Here's a Christmas movie rec tangentially related to Disney: It Happened on 5th Avenue (1947), dir. Roy Del Ruth.

Don DeFore plays the protagonist, and he and his wife operated the Silver Banjo Barbecue restaurant in Frontierland from 1957 to 1962. He was also present at Disneyland's opening day and is shown briefly in the telecast.

#i love when my disney interest overlaps with my old hollywood interest #which obviously happens often since disney is a part of hollywood #but i didn't know that about don defore #until i saw him in the telecast and then looked him up to make sure he was the guy in it happened on 5th ave #personal #text

vinland saga thoughts bc i have to put them somewhere

vinland saga has such an immense scale of time, place, and emotion--how much one matters, how much any event matters, even the fall of an ancient society. in the "dawn in the age of the twilight of man" all these powers are hastening, moved by some kind of loss that drives them out of nowhere to wholeheartedly fucking do something and make a difference--to leave a legacy not of personhood but one of peace, oneness, universality, avalon, vinland, paradise, whatever their creed calls it. to achieve the highest possible level in this lifetime of self betterment and escape the base needs to fight and quarrel and everything else so trivial, and to spread as much of that betterment as possible to others so that the next person might not have to start the journey again from level zero. i feel like everyone who knew the Way at some point just saw the vastness of the sky and said fuck it, i want nothing more than to be enveloped in the love of all that is, which is exactly how canute experienced his revelation.

also fucking RIP motherfucking askeladd. my fav. thorfinn deserved to kill him and yet the way of the world is not so spectacularly triumphant, glorious, or expository. i feel so fucking bad for this kid that this whole 24 episode season was one big prologue intended to fuck him up, but at the end of the day denying thorfinn a final duel with askeladd is another way of keeping him away from the brutal and trivial traditions of the danes, in askeladd's mind. after all it was slaying his father that at once opened askeladd's life to the ability of following the 'artorial' Way while also marking the end of any possibility that he himself might truly embody the return of artorius. he wants thorfinn to do better. when canute asks why askeladd himself cant assume the throne, he answers that he's just a viking, a brutal fucking viking. so he resigns to raising canute, in whom he sees himself, to fulfill the legend of artorius' second coming. whereas at the beginning of the show he doesn't have a clear self-motivating purpose or anything beyond a latent ideal of the fading world, he now pledges his life to canute, to artorius, to thors' vision of vinland, and to the christian notion of love as illustrated in the show: "someone has to do it. not a god, not a hero, but somebody."

poor thorfinn had two fathers die and what is he to do now? but once he figures that part out, he's good. that goes for all of us too

#personally im so happy to have watched and also be able to look up to the sky and feel the peace and calm of the universe #thinking about all the people awake along 5th ave rn or along any beach or in shanghai or even fucking outer space like do you understand #how infinite we are? how vast we are? #so beautiful and amazing and yet it just makes me burn for something more always and maybe i am still too looking for that thing #not in a fuck it lets go out in a blaze type of way but who knows #vinland makes me want to be so strong not only in my body but in my ideals. in what i want and in my vision and for our universe. #i finished this show twice in 2 days and im abt to finish the manga equivalent #cant stop listening to the ost #im literally in love and im so sad askeladd died rip #i want to embody their ideals #vinland saga

The King Edward Hotel - an SRO landmark in Downtown Los Angeles - is not only featured in Baretta, it is the very first shot at the start of the opening credits when it dissolves from soft focus to hard focus.
