gangs fave movies 🧐
The gangs favorite MOVIES! 🎬
This one is sort of hard because I don’t watch a lot of movies BUT I know people who do soooo Also not including canon things because I said so.
Bruno Bucciarati
Any James Bond movie ever.
Also noir detective films.
He enjoys a good thriller/action/mystery movie.
And if it has some romance in it, that just makes it even better.
He also enjoys Austin Powers.
He thinks they’re funny as hell.
He will watch with anyone who’s willing to watch with him.
Mista watches the Austin Powers movies with him.
Leone Abbacchio
Horror films.
Specifically slashers.
He especially likes Friday the 13th films.
Also enjoys watching everyone’s reactions to any scary movie ever.
Mista tends to get scared the easiest.
Trish is never afraid and he respects her for that.
He doesn’t watch with Narancia because Narancia doesn’t pay attention and asks every 5 minutes what’s happening.
Pannacotta Fugo
Alien vs. Predator
And any of the Alien or Predator movies, in general.
He loves the suspense.
Also enjoys The Lost Boys.
Toy Soldiers is also a favorite of his.
Watches movies with Giorno because Giorno hasn’t seen a lot of movies.
Refuses to watch movies with Narancia.
Will occasionally watch movies with Mista but only if Mista agrees to watch the movies he picks.
Narancia Ghirga
Shrek.
Specifically the second Shrek movie (but he enjoys the first one, too).
100% cries while watching the first Shrek, though.
It speaks to his soul.
Hates Fairy Godmother.
Loves Puss in Boots.
Also cried his eyes out when the giant gingerbread man died.
Watches movies with Mista.
Chronically talks through every movie he watches and doesn’t pay attention to the plot so asks what’s happening frequently.
Guido Mista
27 Dresses.
All About Steve.
And just any romantic comedy movies, in general.
He will watch them with anyone or by himself.
Always has popcorn for every movie.
And milk duds.
He also cries at the happy endings because they’re just great.
Will force Narancia to watch them because Narancia needs to watch something besides Shrek.
Giorno Giovanna
Shawshank Redemption.
Though, his blood gets boiling when he watches it.
He watches whatever anyone recommends to him because he did not watch a lot of movies when growing up.
He thinks Fugo has the most compelling suggestions and Narancia always just wants to watch the same movie over and over again.
Giorno is often asked to rank the movies he watches out of 5 (but no four stars, that’s not allowed).
He doesn’t care for the romantic comedies that Mista likes, however.
But he still watches them.
Trish Una
Loves horror movies and will watch them with Abbacchio.
She will indulge in romantic comedy as well.
Trish also loves a good action movie but not superheroes.
Will watch Lost Boys with Fugo.
She also thinks Alien is amazing.
Will tolerate watching movies with Narancia.
She learned that giving him snacks for movies will keep him quiet and pay attention long enough to get a basic understanding of the plot.
Regularly falls asleep to The Transformers Movie because it’s her comfort movie.
The animated one.
She can quote the entire movie.

okay so:
the year is 2021. the month is june. the new season of hermitcraft, season 8, has just started, and everything is great! the hermits are all messing around, having fun, building insane things within the first week of the server being active, and generally having a good time. everyone's collected themselves into little factions, pranking each other, and it's all the fun, lighthearted, mostly-vanilla content hermitcraft is known for.
and then the split between minecraft versions 1.18 and 1.19 is announced. the delay of new terrain, and especially of new mobs like the warden, considerably disrupt several of the hermits' plans. but it's fine, they'll figure something out, they're professionals, and it mostly goes unnoticed.
about two weeks later, on november 9th, grian turns to mumbo jumbo in one of his episodes, and asks the famous question that would seal hermitcraft season 8's fate:
"mumbo, is the moon... big?"
suddenly, the fans panic. they search back through videos and streams, and realize that the moon had been abnormally large and stuck in a full-moon phase since october 30th. the Moon Big event has begun.
this is where the roleplay really starts. once the moon's size has been brought up, the hermits start a weird combination of scrambling to figure out why the moon's growing, and how to stop it- but also of ignoring it, hoping it won't be a problem, hoping someone else will deal with it. the moon keeps getting bigger, more hermits start realizing it's going on, and a creeping sense of dread starts to grow. but it's fine. it's fine, right? they do little plotlines like this all the time. they'll figure something out, the moon will go back to normal, and we'll laugh about it when this is all over. it's fine.
and then, blocks start flying away. just floating up out of the ground, and falling right back down! like for a moment, a square meter chunk of dirt has decided it's a ballerina and leaped out of the ground! but it's fine, right? the blocks are coming back. no lasting harm is done. they're going to fix it all... right?
the moon gets bigger. it's growing every day- local hermit weirdguy joe hills measures it every stream. the blocks start flying higher. gravity starts getting... weird, with players getting the slow falling effect at random, and being lifted off of the earth themselves. the players form cults and rituals and whatnot to try and appease the moon, convince it to leave them alone, making plans to escape. nothing works. things keep getting worse, and the moon keeps getting bigger. but it'll be fine. these storylines never leave lasting harm, or at least they never have before. they'll be fine.
and then the blocks stop coming back, just floating into the sky forever. the players have the slow falling effect more than they don't now. the moon is now so big it's visible even during the day, and fills the entire sky at night. they start planning their escapes in earnest, and say their goodbyes. some hermits jump into a void hole in the overworld (it was the centerpiece of their village). some flee to the End, some to the nether, some just fly with elytras and hope they can get far enough away in time. one brave hermit, tango, flies himself to the moon in a futile attempt to blow the whole thing up before it can crash.
but in the end, the moon crashes into the server, and everything they'd built was destroyed. and the whole time, there'd been nothing any of them could've done. season eight was over, a full six months before anyone had expected it to end, and season nine wouldn't start until about three months later. and im still not okay about it.
(here's a cool animatic of the moon's crash! honestly i dont think you need too much hermitcraft knowledge to get the gist)
(also the moon crash happened on the day before my birthday lmao.)
….
holy shit

i think there are political criticisms that can be made of oppenheimer (the chief one that comes to mind is its depiction of los alamos as uninhabited, which i do think promotes an unhelpful historical revisionism & erasure that i also think could have been addressed within the scope of the film with a few different choices), but it’s very deliberately about as un-hagiographic a biopic as i can remember seeing this side of something like frost/nixon if that even counts (and as a bonus contains a much harsher depiction of a US president than you typically see for presidents who are not literally nixon). it is also, like, so explicitly and obviously anti-nuke (anti their development, their use in hiroshima and nagasaki, their stockpiling and escalation, their very existence, like just fully on the side of This Only Ever Made The World Worse And Only Ever Will) it makes watchmen’s relationship with nuclear power look complicated. and also throws in some anti-mccarthyism and a non villainous portrayal of american communists with really i would say not one moment where it feels the need to apologetically be like “of course the soviets were bad though” (there’s a character moment you could read this way but given the context i…… would not). hard to remember the last time i sat in a theater to watch a film paint the US government and military in as negative a light, which would have i think made it worth it for me even if i didn’t also think it was quite good as a film, which i did. i don’t know that i would put it on the same Obvious Unimpeachable Masterpiece level of parasite, and they have basically nothing in common as movies, but i think that film is the one that comes to mind as a comparison for what it feels like to watch it - so incredibly compelling and engaging and watchable that you want to call it “fun” but you can’t really because that would undersell how feeling it also gives you a stomachache and feels so so so so bad, such that i left somehow both artistically electrified and emotionally hollowed out.
