I watched Matilda: the musical on netflix. And loved it of course.
The music was great, the actors, both kids and adults were awesome and perfectly cast...
But one thing I really really liked, was that it wasn't just Matilda who stood up against Miss Trunchbull.
Even the older kids, the prefects, were warning the younger kids, not just to scare them, but to protect them.
When that first boy came running for help, Matilda told the other kids what to do, sure. But the other kids went along and helped her.
All the kids cheered for Bruce to finish the cake.
You could see they were hurting, but they weren't broken.
I loved how Miss Honey kept trying to stand up to the headmistress. First quietly, by making learning fun. But then by protesting, and trying to speak up for her students, more and more forcefully so as the movie continues.
I loved that in the scene leading to Trunchbulls defeat, it wasn't Matilda who gave the first push to the other kids to revolt. They all stood up to Trunchbull. Matilda's power lended the physical force the kids lacked. But Trunchbull had already lost before that, when the kids found strength in one another. Realizing that they were stronger together.
So that when we get the song 'Revolting Children' it's the kids' song. Instead of making it Matilda's song.
That it's Bruce who calls the entire school to revolt. And the older kids choice to join in before they even realize that Trunchbull is already defeated.
It goes against the idea of the lone hero saving the day, and instead shows how a person can inspire others to save themselves by working together.

so… *kicks rock*
Tron..
I have watched this movie maybe (?) 30 times in the last month. It’s a genuine comfort to me right now. But I have words and I need to speak them.
Tron 3? Yea. I better see TRON in it. You know.. THE GUY THAT THE WHOLE FRANCHISE IS NAMED AFTER?
If that doesn’t happen… man. I will be genuinely so hurt.
Anyways programs, goodnight.

I was previously inspired by @betasuppe's version of Rinzler. These pics are set in an alternate universe where Rinzler didn't break free of his repurposing at the end of the film. I thought this was a cool idea, so I wanted to explore it a little more.
Alan on The Grid! If anyone can help Rinzler become Tron again, it's his User. "Wouldn't that be something?"

The last episode of "Babylon 5" aired in the US (UK later) this day 25/11/98 (I hope this is right). Pic from one of many brilliant scenes with Bruce Boxleitner. The speech rings so true today. Terrific series.
