nct nation review? recap? thoughts
ik its been like a week i just saw someone else's post recapping their experience and wanted to add mine ^^
as compared to ytc in busan screening, a LOT quieter?? i did the math and realized 7 members vs 20 members = energy and attention split between a lot more people i guess. witnessing solo/unit stanning irl was kinda crazy LMAO
like absolute silence for LIMITLESS????? HELLOOO???? i get it was the first song but like... this is the 3rd concert screening ive been to this yr maybe people were just shy about cheering ): <- what i choose to believe as an ilichil enjoyer
it was kinda hilarious pinpointing where certain people were sitting based on how loud they got for their ults - there was a swathe of weishennies in front of us including a yangyang bias who sounded like she was actually on death's door every time he came up on screen, a doyoung bias to our right, and ofc me and my sister hooting and hollering every time mark or johnny breathed
i have a newfound appreciation for kangaroo ALL I WANT ALL I WANT WEEOOWEEOO >O<
wayv's stages were sooo good
pado lifechanging.
SILENCE FOR SHALALALA ?? STFU I HATE EVERYONE U ARE ALL ALLERGIC TO FUN ! WE GOT THE BOUNCEEEEE WAOWAOWAOWAOW
i wish theyd kept perfume sooo sosososo bad ))): i was so sad finding out it wouldnt be in the movie
ten just looked so. sooo. sooooooo. if i had a nickel for evry time his WAIST was up on screen in 4k ultra hd 4dx screenx max.......
everyone woke UP for puku puku pow pow and 2 baddies like OHHH NOW WE WANNA NOTICE ILICHIL HUH OKAYYY
THE FUCK ASS VCRSSSS no one gaf about them i heard someone audibly go "womp womp" during the second/third one which was so reall
BROKEN MELODIESSSS i was soo happy seeing it on the big screen. mark's "wings" choreo with all the backup dancers aaa mera angel :')
discovered i had somee muscle memory for the universe choreo from like 2yrs ago ur my worlddd my universeee
wish theyd put all of beautiful and not had the cuts to the audience interviews or w/e
speaking of why were there SOOOO MANY DRONE SHOTS GOOD GOD i did NOT need to see the audience this much
BAGGY ! JEAAAANS ^O^
mark just looked soooo soossosoo crazy good like ik im biased but i was so surprised at how quiet the theater was for him like he looked SOOO GOOD HELLO
they didnt put taeil in the credits )): they did include the og titles of the songs including 2 bitches 1 porsche we were so mad we didnt get a pic of it
i had higher hopes for how hype everyone would be based on the other screenings ive been to but overall a really fun time ^^ i didnt let that stop me from well ackshuallying my encyclopedic knowledge of 127 adlibs to the entire theater
4/5 stars just based on the fact that they cut sooo many songs AND kept the stupid vcrs but loved the rest <3
#nct nation#nct nation in cinemas#i feel like im making it out that the audience was silent & i was just doing 2 much which is not the case it was super loud at some parts!#esp the wayv stages#it was a good post-finals reward ^^#jaemin caught my sisters attention & her bias is johnny so i was like hehe do i have an awsaz episode for u.... the 2 princesses....#love that i started the year seeing 127 in january and 11 months later im puku puku pow powing at the top of my lungs @nct nation screening#everyone u meet is fighting a battle u dont know about. for example im an nctzen

Broly movie semi-liveblog because of reasons
I only ever watched the original Broly movie once or twice cus of the suuuper long fight scene ending (and I think it came out, or we borrowed it from Blockbuster, around the time I was losing interest in DBZ)…which is great cus watching it now after the reboot movie has me going in almost totally fresh
Krillin’s puppy song (and how he just pauses then keeps singing after the ship lands X’D so you just hear him wailing in the background during Paragus’ big speech)
Paragus: I’m starting a new planet and I want you to be king
Vegeta: :/
Paragus: Uhh…there’s also this big strong bad guy and only YOU can stop him!
Vegeta: :/
Trunks: Dad, don’t go with him
Vegeta: DON’T TELL ME WHAT TO DO! *goes out of spite*
Vegeta gets to the planet, gets his ear talked off by Paragus, sees Paragus’ whole army, doesn’t react to anything, but takes one look at the big buff shirtless dude covered in jewelry and decides “I want to be alone with that guy for a while” (Trunks: “DAD NO” Vegeta: “DON’T KINKSHAME ME”)
Son “cat trying to convince you it didn’t just eat five minutes ago” Goku
“Golly, who could the Legendary Super Saiyan be?” *shows a whole flashback of Broly being the Legendary Super Saiyan and names the movie “Broly: The Legendary Super Saiyan”*
Still gets me that the fan-favorite His Power Is Maximum villain’s weakness is that he flips out at the sight of the guy who cried in the crib next to him when they were babies
I’d still fight Master Roshi if I could risk getting within ten feet of him but thanks man for deflating the tension every time it gets serious here. And more importantly, giving my boy Oolong an actual reason to be here (designated driver). Which kinky freak on staff came up with that sequence of the two of them in bed together though?? XD
Realizing I haven’t seen the old DBZ movies since before my dad got his giant TV, and watching this thing in HD on a huge screen with surround sound blasting the doofy 2000s grunge rock songs shoehorned into the soundtrack just feels so wrong X’D
With Paragus’ whole thing being about trapping Vegeta on this planet so a comet can smush him, how much funnier would it have been if Goku had just shown up and immediately IT’d everyone back to Earth
This version of Broly is SO annoying, OMFG. Hulked-out glowing guy cackling about how he was gonna kill a child, “What do you expect from a true freak?! Wahaha~” Like 100% one of those guys who saw The Dark Knight and went “the Joker’s so dark and edgy, I wanna be just like him” Shut up already
Actually Broly’s fixation on hurting Gohan to upset Goku plus the Trunks-Vegeta dynamic could’ve made for an interesting subplot about father-son relationships, but nope I guess. Gohan and Trunks aren’t even in the reboot movie where they really dig into Paragus’ abuse of Broly (just a brief scene of Goten and Trunks calling Bulma for two seconds to tell her plot stuff)
Piccolo dragging Vegeta to the battle by his hair
I also actually love sad scared Vegeta because it makes him so much more interesting. Goku’s an excitable child whose relationship with martial arts is basically like a good work ethic, so he hears about someone stronger than him and gets all excited cus he wants to test his strength by fighting them. Vegeta’s an arrogant jerk generally used to getting his own way, so he hears about someone stronger than him and his first instinct is to go “pff, no way,” then when it’s clear the person IS much stronger he just shuts down. Probably a remnant of being terrorized and probably physically beaten by Frieza or his minions as a kid, cus you KNOW he wasn’t gonna just start taking orders from some guy who isn’t even his king dad
The classic DBZ squeaky foot noise when Broly walks...bless
“I’m the prince of all Saiyans, even you, Broly” “Then please try your best to make me kneel before you” Get a ROOM
“Did he really think I would die just because this planet is about to explode?”
*gives you my power, but in a tsundere way*
I’d been wanting to watch the first bunch of movies for a while since they use clips from em in the Ocean dub opening, but wound up with the 2nd movie set cus I found a good deal and the Broly reboot made me curious to revisit the original…now I’m torn between going on to Return Of Cooler & Super Android 13 my dumb funny beloveds, or going back to the 1st movie set and working my way up to truly Earn them XD

Tolkien (books) have canonical trans characters if you're deep enough in to know some trivia about in-universe languages (which isn't great representation to have confirmation of it buried a couple layers deep, but it's about as much as you could expect from the 1930/40s).
Whereas the movies completely ignores anything about this so there's no representation in the movies at all.
And Alexander Seddig wanted to be an elf in the movies and they literally told him they didn't want any actors of colour to be elves, so...yeah i'm not sure why your friend would think the movies were somehow more diverse.
(I haven't seen the hobbit movies, it's possible they're slightly better. but Martin Freeman did make jokes about how it didn't matter he was tiny and ugly, he'd just roofie his female costars and date-rape them if they turned him down).
I'd be interested to know what characters you're calling canonically trans- there are plenty of characters who are implied to be some flavor of LGBT if you use certain contextual readings but none stated outright, which is what I'm using as "canonical" since JRRT and his son are no longer alive to tell us.
My [former] friend did not believe the movies were much better in that regard, in fact somehow they were worse with racial representation as every actor of color was part of a Bad Guys Only race or used in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it background shot (there's a Maori ranger in a scene in Gondor, for instance, if you look over Faramir's shoulder to see him- he's on screen for roughly 2.5 seconds and only visible in HD). The Hobbit was better in regards to Laketown having some amount of racial variety (which fanboys screeched about btw) but all of the talking characters were, once again, white. Of course the Hobbit also gave us multiple transmisogynistic jokes, multiple fat jokes, multiple ableist jokes, starred human shitstains in large speaking roles, and broke verbal agreement with an actress who signed on with the contingency that she WOULDN'T be reduced to a stupid invented romance, so that [former] friend didn't really love those movies either.
Man. You've just reminded me WHY I changed my main blog's url once I learned about what type of person Cumberbatch really is.

Tim & Eric Nite Live #7: “Tim and Eric HD” | January 29, 2008 | S01E07
A just okay Tim and Eric Nite Live. I love it on paper, but this one doesn’t really have the huge laughs previous episodes did. During, I think the Valentines watch-along, I remember Tim & Eric describing what it was like to make this show by saying that they’d spend all day shooting stuff for Awesome Show and then they’d “go downstairs” to do this show, live. Those episodes might have actually benefited from the fact that they were a little run down. It probably helped them harness the cantankerousness edge that I think yields so many wonderful gags.
None of what I said might be accurate. In fact: there are some insanely funny episodes to come, and I guess I could chalk this one up to more of an anomaly than anything else. For all I know they were busy busting their humps making season three of Awesome Show and were under the same exact conditions. This one is fine, and perfectly amusing; it just feels like it doesn’t come together in a way that produces the sublime moments that make this show incredible.
This is the episode where Tim and Eric have a little bit of fun with HD technology. They also announce that Steven Spielberg, the world famous director of Star Wars and Jaws 1-4, is here to direct tonight’s show. Also on hand is Richard Dunn, who is overseeing the technical aspects of the show. Tim and Eric ask him pointed questions about the SD to HD conversion we’re about to experience live on the show, I think expecting Dunn to fumble through it. He delivers solidly concise but clearly nonsensical answers. Dunn was on his toes for this one, and his answers are funny, but I feel like Tim and Eric were trying to wring more out of him than they got.
While Tim and Eric ask Spielberg about Jaws 5, they do their shtick where they mildly berate him for giving bad answers and ask him to tell better stories. This interaction sometimes can yield really amusing results, but this time it just feels like a repeat. During this interview segment an on-screen but appears for FRUMONDUH SODA, which was a sketch from Leon and Andy, another duo that Bob Odenkirk took a liking to. They had a much smaller presence than Tim and Eric, and not a lot of their material is easy to access these days. We wish Leon well. Andy not so much. If anyone knows Andy’s whereabouts please contact the FBI immediately.
The actual HD segment of the show is the funniest bit of the episode. For some reason it requires a 30 second countdown that needs to be performed flawlessly between two men, so who better to not screw that up than James Quall and David Liebe Hart. Of course DLH, the consummate bozo he is, fucks up big time TWICE. I’m sure Tim and Eric were counting on this, and it’s nice that it paid off. The HD tech doesn’t work correctly, resulting in the image to be incredibly squished. DLH performs his song while in this squished state, a song about how glorious it is to be in HD. Great!
The back half is solid on this one, but I do think that the stuff leading up to the actual HD bit is not their best. This could be the weakest Nite Live episode, and it still ain’t bad at all.
EPHEMERA CORNER
Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Volume 5 DVD (January 29, 2008)
Volume Five of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, baby! This has all the episodes from the 2005-2006 season, the one I defiantly call season five even though everyone else calls it season four. Look, I know it’s annoying, but I don’t want to go back and edit all my posts. I’m just going to have to keep being wrong about it.
This one is pretty great as a companion to the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Movie DVD; a LOT of the extras are actually stuff relating to the movie. They also present the 11-minute versions of the Deleted Scenes episode rather than the 30-minute version (that’s on the Movie DVD). There’s also the “Chambraigne” episode of Space Ghost on there, which relates to Carl Wash. My copy of this DVD famously went bad, causing one episode to no longer be playable. Buyer beware.

the world is small (but my heart is large)
summary:
Harri James Potter's world is small.
It focuses on her mum, her tiny council flat, her crap school and the library where she hides away.
She does not want a Hogwarts letter.
She does not want a soulmate.
(Too bad she gets that and more.)
Chapter 2 |
CHAPTER 1: my mum cries and my dad stays dead
CHAPTER SUMMARY: Harri Potter's only family is her mum (but she does hate her dead dad a little bit. Just a little bit though.)
The best way to win at marbles, Harri thinks, readying her finger to flick that glass orb of swirling grey and green and blue, is to guess the next move, wherever it may hit.
The marble chinks against a yellow and green one, bounding off it and rolling under Harri’s door and though the hallway into the small living room where her mum and Aunt Petunia are. She wonders if she should go and get it, because Aunt Petunia strictly told her, with a shrewd glance and pinched lips, to not disturb her and mum.
Still, small, young, naive Harri James Potter reassures herself, it can’t be that bad if I just get a marble, can it?
Harri opens her door quietly, green orbs blinking like flickering street lights as she surveys the hallway.
There’s no one there.
She breathes a sigh of relief.
She tiptoes against the carpeted floor, spotting her marble just past the gap of the door that opens to the living room. There’s really no point tiptoeing at all, Harri muses, her nest of curls bobbing by her shoulders as she tiptoes against the wall, but it makes her feel like she’s in a spy movie.
Like James Bond, she thinks excitedly, or maybe like The Doctor, trying to solve an alien mystery riddled with traps.
Her bare feet curl in the carpet as she peeps behind the door, noting that her marble is there, just beside the plant pot and box TV.
Her and mum’s TV isn’t like Dudley and Aunt Petunia’s; they’ve got the latest flat screen TV with premium HD definition thanks to Uncle Vernon, and Harri knows this because of all the bragging she had to endure from pig-like Dudley when she went to their house and had to share the TV with Dudley, watching his stupid cartoons like The Clangers and He-Man.
He also brags about his house, all the time! Honestly, it’s not like his mortgaged house in Surrey, with its polished wood and pristine walls and always-clean kitchen, is better than her and mum’s tiny flat with its box TV and small hallway and two small bedrooms in London. So what if he’s got the latest magician set and she has to satisfy herself with her swirling, whirling marbles? It’s not like she cares.
At. All.
(Nuh-uh.)
Still, it'd be nice to have a magician set even if all it did was stay in her room as a showpiece. Harri focuses intently, wondering if she can simply slip her fingers through the gap and retrieve it like that. She’s about to test it out when she can hear Aunt Petunia raise her voice.
“...I can’t keep doing this, Lily!”
“‘Tuney – “
“No!” Aunt Petunia shrills, and it's almost as if she’s about to blow a fuse. “You say you’ll pay back the money, that you’ll finally get a good, reputable, well-paying job! How much longer, Lily? How much?”
Her mum is quiet for a moment, her harsh breathing evident.
Suddenly, Harri is undeniably scared.
Her mum’s never been like this before.

so i've started watching heartstopper and...FUCK BEN! But, also Nick and Charie are really frickin' cute <3
ASDFGHJK - but what really kills me is that Charlie constantly reassure Nick that he'll keep it a secret, or he apologises for being clingy and annoying, or he says that Isaac won't tell - and, it really breaks my heart.
Cause like, at this point, it seems like he's afraid even one slip up and Nick will be like 'no thanks, I'm done.' and I wonder how many of these accusations of being clingy that Ben threw his way??
Just some thoughts.

My #1 post of 2022
home is where the hearts are (and my hearts are a universe away)
summary:
No one truly knows home until they lose it.
The Doctor has never truly known home until he lost his.
And as he continues on, living day after day, with his new companion Martha Jones by his side, he is forced to confront the home he has lost time and time again.
That home?
Not Gallifrey, with her flaming skies and silver-touched trees, but instead a woman.
A woman called Rose.
OR: 10K words-worth of the Doctor being and angsty mess (as usual) with Martha along for the ride.
home is where the hearts are (and my hearts are a universe away)
“Someone asked me what home was and all I could think of were the stars on the tip of your tongue, the flowers sprouting from your mouth, the roots entwined in the gaps between your fingers, the ocean echoing inside your ribcage.” – E.E. Cummings
---
Martha Jones is a singularly brilliant woman. She is gutsy and earnest and has potential in spades – just like any good human, any good companion should have; after all, why else would the Doctor choose them above the rest?
But Martha Jones is also simply Martha. She’s brilliantly astute and outstandingly capable and simply a Doctor (well, in training) – she’s unparalleled in her need to look past the symptoms, unparalleled in her knowledge that she needs to find the source if she is to fix, or at least stop and relieve, the pain and the wasting away of her patient.
The Doctor is no patient of hers. He's spectacularly dazzling and informative in his knowledge of the unknown and yet frustratingly elusive regarding the information of himself. Martha can count what she knows about him on one hand whilst she walks along, shivering, in the rundown slums of New New (and many more New’s) New York:
One, he’s alien. Brilliantly, stupidly alien — he’s not got a clue about her interest and it stings just a bit (truthfully, it’s more than a bit. But, she’s Martha – Doctor-in-training-Martha Jones – and she won’t revolve around one man – one alien – she won't! – and yet, as she watches him run his hands through his hair, she can't help herself. )
Two, Martha Jones knows that there is no Doctor without the TARDIS, and that there is no TARDIS without the Doctor; it's a fact, a solid, undeniable, unequivocal fact. She knows that her presence as a guest, as simply someone to be carted off and dropped at the Doctor's fancy, will not change that fact of the Universe – so, question this, why does the missing presence of Rose change it?
Rose, who was probably brilliant but left the Doctor all the same, why does she change the game? Why does Rose (my friend Rose would know what to do –) leave such a longing, yearning, heartbreaking look on his face and pleading in his voice?
(Why does it leave a hole in his heart?)
And despite it, despite all that she doesn’t know about The Doctor, she (brilliant, brimming - with - potential Martha Jones) is determined to find out.
“What did he mean, the Face of Boe? When he said you’re not alone?” Martha asks, red leather clinging to her frame as she stands million of years ahead of her time, under a different sky and with a different dirt underneath her feet.
The Doctor turns, a musing and honest smile on his face as he throws away a “I don’t know.” It shouldn’t surprise her, but it does – to know that he doesn’t know what she might;
She swallows, stepping forward, a reassurance (a question) on the tip of her tongue, “You’ve got me. Is that what he meant?”
(“There’s me.” she had said, and back then, he believed her – how could he not? She had captured his hearts.)
She watches as the Doctor’s whimsical smile disappears, a burdened, hard, look entering his eyes; it doesn’t take much to know that she’s just reminded him of Rose.
The smile disappears from her face before he’s even said anything.
“I don’t think so.”
He looks down at his shoes, battered and beaten.
He looks up, open-eyed and trembling.

How do you make your gifs look so good and hq?? Any tips and tricks please 🙏🏼 ive been trying to make gifs for the longest time now (literal years) but i just cant do it im struggling so bad the ones i do look so shit lmaosjdj i also cant figure out how to do the right movement speed of them either 😭
Hellooo, i’m sorry the “i’m struggling so bad” took me out 😭 I’m sure it’s nothing you can’t fix. I’ll be honest, most of the time it’s about the quality of the video you’re giffing. Like that’s what makes a good gif. The quality of your video is your starting point and it determines about 80% of what your final gif will look like. I don’t exactly know what you’re doing, so I’m just going to link a couple things below:
I know you said you’re making gifs already but here are two very good tutorials: 1 & 2
Now there is also the ‘import video frames into layers’ option which looks like this:
I do not recommend this method because 1, the video needs to be in mov or .mp4, which is not usually not how you get hd videos (you can convert but who wants to deal with this and secondly there is always loss of quality with this method. It's quicker but at what cost. (I'll leave a note below if you're insistent on using this/youtube videos) This gif I made was made with this method, which doesn't look too bad but it's from a screen recording of 660mb for like 40
seconds (meaning it's gigantic, which makes it easier to sharpen and make it look good). If I could download a good version l'd never do this. But if you’re insistent on using this method, make sure to not check limit to every two frames, because then it will skip frames and make your gif look very choppy.
I always use at least 1080p videos (the bigger the size, the better). If you're doing music videos and using youtube videos I'm sorry they almost always suck in quality and they will never look super HD, unless you have a good quality download from somewhere else. (If it's really concerts/music videos you want though, talk to me off anon and I can give you another source that sucks a bit less.) I also don't always make high quality gifs when I have to gif trailers that are only on youtube. As you can see the last gif in this set (which is from the youtube trailer) is so fucking bad sksikdfdfh. This is from a trailer. This is from a good 1080p movie and these two are a 2160p one. Not a huge difference with the 1080p and 2160p, but you can still tell. The youtube trailer one I won't even comment.
Again idk what you're giffing but most of the time when people say their gifs don't look high quality or crisp or something, I'll look and then they'll be giffing tiktok videos or a bad stream or something 😭 like that will just never look HD as 4k marvel movie someone is giffing. You need high definition videos, there is no way around that, no tips no tricks. OK moving on.
The sharpening might be a bit tricky because I think every gif maker does their own thing - this also depends on the quality of the video. Always use smart sharpen. If it's a good quality video, these are good settings, if it's not, I'd skip the second one. The better quality you have, the more you can sharpen - but I also wouldn't sharpen more than these settings, maybe if it's a 4k video (depending on the colours, the gif size etc) I could do 500 and 0.4, but nothing more than that because if you sharpen too much your gif starts looking cris-crossy.
The speed is almost always 0.05, (unless in extremely rare cases where the video you’re downloading has a different frame per second rate, but this is very rare.) unless you are skipping frames, which, please don’t because then the gif looks so choppy 😭 A lot of people don’t like this, and with the 10mb limit I think it’s quite okay to not skip any frames.
The colouring, I can’t really say a lot about because this also really depends on what you’re giffing and which scene, etc. Everyone has their preferences obviously, but I always go with less is more (since I don’t like overly coloured gifs myself, but again, personal preference!) Some people use base psds, they don’t really work for me so I don’t have them, but if you search around (look for gif tutorial on tumblr) you’ll find some. This is a good overall resource blog.
Anddd that’s it? Oh - if you want to do youtube videos, I’d say get 4k downloader and keep these as your maximum sharpening settings:
no matter what the quality is. Youtube just compresses stuff a lot. If you want to gif trailers, check apple trailers, they usually have higher quality trailers, but it will drop a bit later (you do not need itunes, just google apple trailers and it’ll be there). I hope this helps, I really am not great at explaining stuff, so please feel free to ask anything specific & happy gif making lol.

That guy looks like SM, but I'm not 100% convinced it's him because the man depicted has thinning hair/a bald patch. Also SM is about 6 foot but he looks shorter than everyone around him. 🧐 Maybe @dornish-queen or other fans who were there can confirm whether or not they saw SM or if it was a look-a-like? // I'm also personally convinced it's him. His hair looks less fluffy, but it was kind of like that already in the Colombia pics. He could've gotten a haircut which makes his supposed bald patch show more. Remember too that from certain angles P looks like he sometimes has a bald patch but doesn't really have it. That could be the thing with SM. It's just a bad angle that makes it look that way. Also I don't think asking @dornish-queen would help here unless she went to that screening. Cuz SM may not have gone to the James Corden show, just the movie event.
Yeah, I think it may be an area that has a lot of grey hairs and it makes that area look thinner or like it may be balding. But you make a great point. Sebastiano may not have gone to the James Corden show.
It means that they are friends and he is showing support. Sebastiano attending a premiere does not define a relationship to the public. However, if the future confirms they are more, I would be so happy for both of them. Everyone deserves to find their someone. 🤍
I can understand why they felt suspicious considering she’s always around Pedro for work purposes, but Coco is very much a married woman. I like to think Pedro is respectful of that. 🙂
Thank you for sharing your opinion, anon.
Note to readers, no one knows the extent of Pedro’s relationship with Sebastiano. It could be friendship or it could be more. The anon is expressing their own opinion about what they think. It is not an expression of fact. No one has to agree with it, but it’s okay if you do. 🤍
Sebastiano was definitely at the premiere. That can’t be denied. There’s a picture of Pedro standing with friends and Sebastiano is clearly in the background. I’ll try and scrub through my feed to find it and edit this post to include it.
If they are romantically together, it’s both of their decisions as a couple to decide whether to address it to the public. They don’t owe any explanation or declaration of their love life to us fans. Fans were constantly asking Pedro if he and Lena were dating way back in the past. He responded on Instagram saying, “Just friends.” Rumors still persist that they were a couple. 🤷🏽♀️
Having said this, I want to remind everyone that no one knows what kind of relationship Pedro and Sebastiano have. It could be friendship, romantic, fwb, etc. We don’t know. What is obvious is they are very close. 🤍
I’m not sure if he was there during the NYC trip. Maybe. But there hasn’t been any photos of him. I feel like we would have seen him floating around in the background somewhere if he went to NYC with Pedro. You know?
Here’s a few things showing Sebastiano was there:

Quantum of solace pc review
Again, none of it is bad, but the mechanics just aren't compelling. There's the balancing act where players need to keep a wavering dot in the center of the screen with the left analog stick, there's a hacking mini-game where you'll need to match directional button presses in a kind of Simon Says variant, and then there are the quicktime melee events which get stale after a few uses. Every other mechanic just falls a little bit short. You can tell that the developers really wanted to make this game different than COD4, but that doesn't stop the roots of Infinity Ward's from being the silver lining in the package. They're all a little predictable – there's the requisite speeding train and museum levels – but at least you're not running down the same hallways over and over. Also trying to keep the action fresh are the levels which stay varied throughout. When the game tries it does do a good job of delivering intensity and flare but those moments are spaced a bit too far apart. Luckily there are moments when things aren't so mundane. That's fine if things are bright and flashy with lots of blood and guts, but when you're fighting a bunch of henchmen things can feel a little tired. Instead there are too many situations relegated to standard stop and pop gameplay.
That means that the free-flowing way of dispatching enemies from several different angles as was available in COD4 is no longer available. Another problem with the cover system is that the levels are built around the mechanic. It wasn't a massive annoyance, but the few deaths that I was able to chalk up to the faulty cover were a nuisance. Only to find out that I was perfectly aligned and it was the cover system screwing me up. There were times when I felt like I should be able to crouch behind something in front of me and I couldn't. The cover system is better than some (Kane & Lynch) but not as functional as others. It works similarly to what we've seen from the likes of Gears of War and others.Ĭlick+above+to+watch+the+Video+Review+for+Quantum+of+Solace+(HD+Available).īasically any surface can be stuck to by pressing A and you can even dash into a piece of cover by holding the button. Treyarch, figuring that they had a star that most would want to look at, decided to implement a cover system into the standard first-person shooter gameplay of QoS. The biggest deviation from the COD4 gameplay formula is actually one of the few moments when you'll be removed from Daniel Craig's point of view. As you'd expect, Quantum of Solace is played almost entirely from a first-person perspective. They're not bad additions, they just don't meld or work especially well with the rest of the game and therefore come off feeling very forced and artificial. It's just a bummer that roughly everything that was added in an effort to keep the game feeling fresh isn't done all that well. It takes the Call of Duty 4 engine and wraps it around the James Bond universe with a few new trimmings to try and keep the action feeling as fresh as possible. Of course, with every movie comes a game of the same name and Quantum of Solace is no different. Put a beautiful beau in a hot sports car, toss in a gorgeous babe for him to boink and then prop up a bunch of would-be henchman to stand in between our hero and his goal and you have the recipe for just about every Bond film in history.

PureAssFlickin.com: I’m sorry. I regret this title...
... but not enough to change it.
I want to talk about "The Case for Christ".
Allow me to clarify, the FILM "The Case for Christ" (2017).
Another movie night rolled around, and we couldn't find anything worthy to watch. I had seen a promo for TCFC. I had some nostalgia cookin - this was originally a book which I had read and liked a long time ago.
The story is kinda in the title:
An investigative journalist sets out... really, in an atheistic manner, to build a case AGAINST Christ, but ends up becoming a Christian.
A pretty cool story (real-life). Worthy of a movie, and worthy of Praphit's Movie Night.
Problem was... it's only streaming on something called "PureFlix".
What the hell is PureFlix? I looked into it - well, at least I tried to. Most services, you can get a peek inside, before you go all of the way.
PureFlix is heavily guarded. I tried to sneak in, but they were like "Getcho ass outta here!"
But, pretty much, it's all about good, solid, Christian, wholesome entertainment.
We've all had those moments when we're watching some movie with kids around, and "oops, there's some cursing", or "oops, there's some violence", or "oops, there's a penis". Then, you try to hurry up and fast forward past the penis, but you hit the pause button by accident. Now, you’re panicking, so you accidentally throw the scene into slomo mode.
You shout to the kids to shut their eyes (of course they don't), and somehow you press the zoom-in button (which you didn't know even existed), so now there's a giant penis swinging in slomo, in Ultra HD on your screen, and everyone is screaming. You've ruined movie night!
We've all been there. You don't have to worry about that type of thing with PureFlix. No shows like “Euphoria” here. I get it.
I just wanted to know what else is going on with them, and I couldn't find anything. I was angry. I wanted some TCFC.
I looked it up on Rotten Tomatoes - not great, not good, but not a bad rating.
I wasn't expecting all that much. I mean, I think "The Passion of the Christ" was ranked poorly by the critics and only ranked something like 80% by the audience. The audience is Christian. We can't do any better than Jesus on the cross, people! I would have expected at least 95%.
What were we doing there? Was it the violence? Should the Roman soldiers have toned it down a bit? Or was it Mel Gibson?? It was probably him.
I was even more angry now that I thought about this, cuz why DON'T I expect more from these types of movies?!
I have a joke that I tell among my peeps that Church is where creativity goes to die. And with all jokes, there's some truth there; with this one, it's all truth. But, why?
Christians (my people) serve a creative God! Why isn't creativity embraced and cultivated more in the church? We could spend all day hashing that one out, but I'll say this - the enemy of art is aggressive structure.
Of course we need certain levels of structure in life, but with art... let it be loose and free! Let art be edgy, if it wants to be. Let art push the limits, or go beyond the limits, if it wants to. It'll learn, it'll evolve, it'll mature, but let it happen organically.
If there are people out there who disagree with me (in the context of creativity in church), simply ask the "creative people" in your church (if you have any). Ask the young people in your church (if you have any). I'm willing to bet that they'll share my sentiments, with some more added, if you'd let them.
Now, let me get off my soapbox, and get back to PureFlix.
Like I said, I couldn't peek inside, BUT I found "PureFlix Insider" to help me figure out what this entertainment platform is all about.
POSITIVITY: Sweet! Who could be against positive energy?? However, I did see some influence from Fox News up in there.
Idk if Fox has a hand in financial support for this or something, but...
Now, I'm not getting political; I'm simply saying there's an agenda there (like with all mainstream media).
Having an agenda is fine, but for PureFlix (Christianity/ "Truth" /positivity)?? Idk.
It made me think of a show idea, which I'm willing to host for you, PureFlix.
We could have a show where I read news articles, claiming to be the truth (from all cultures and political points of view), and when I find an agenda that has crept its way into the objectivity of the story, I call it out, and tell that story to get the hell outta here.
Maybe we'll call the show "Go to Hell!" Think of me as your John Oliver :)
It'll be the most dismissive show that’s streaming... outside of this guy’s show:
(Ben Shapiro does not like She-Hulk. He needs you to understand that)
I also noticed that PureFlix is all about Prayer & Faith. Or course! Awesome! The pics I saw on there were kinda... white though.
Maybe mix in a lil color. Just a note. I'm not insinuating anything. In fact, I’m trying to help you broaden your stroke to make more money. If diversity doesn’t come from the heart, it can at least come out of greed :)
I’m joking... (not really tho). I would hate for this post to be considered “woke garbage”.
Then, I checked out the Movies/Tv - YES! however (again), kinda white. Where's Madea at? Isn't there a Mexican character on VeggieTales?
I think it's time for him to get his own show, don't you?
Don't be offended by me saying it's "kinda white" - I'm actually being kind when I say that :) And of course there's a place for that type of “culture” in Christianity (I mean that) and on PureFlix, but what about everyone else?
I'm here to help you, PF!
We'll label all that stuff you've got on there as "Kinda White Though".
Maybe we'll get a Tyler Perry or a Steve Harvey section of as well.
I'm thinking we could spice-up some of the content. I'll even use the bible for ideas, so some of you aren't triggered too much by my creativity.
The book of Hosea (in the bible). Here, there's the prophet Hosea, who's married to a prostitute named Gomer. That's a RomCom if I've ever seen one!
We could get a reality show about King Solomon and all of his many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, MANY, many, many wives (and side women).
There's "the woman with the ISSUE of blood" - look that one up, kids. In fact, we'll make it for kids; turn it into a cartoon.
Ooo, we''ll rock some Horror:
"Jason goes to Church"
He's putting down the machete and picking up the bible.
or
Saw: Born-Again -
This time, the Jigsaw copycats find Jesus, but take compelling people to believe a lil too far:) Don't worry, we'll blur out all of the good stuff - keepin it pure, baby!
Perhaps "Naked with Bathsheba"(I’ll let your imaginations run wild with what that show would entail) - that'll be for late night. Don't worry, PF. We'll have a quick warning on stuff like that - "Must be married and currently watching this with YOUR OWN spouse". Huh?? Yeah! I got your back, PF!
I also have some ideas for a LGBTQ section, but... you know... baby steps.
I'm offering my help for free (though an offering of a few million might better motivate me... just sayin). I'm here for you!
And if you make TCFC 2, I'll even star in it (for kinda free/an offering).
Perhaps that investigative reporter is BACK, and finds me (a mad scientist who created time travel).
We decide that the church needs some help from past Bible heroes to get things moving in the right direction again.
We bring back to the present - Samson (for his super strength), King David (for his battle skills), Mary (mother of our Lord), Noah (power to build shit)
and Gomer (powers of prostitution - which honestly, sounds like a great title for another show). Can somebody say "Universe"?? YEAH!
I am your tool! Use me!
Let’s stick it to Marvel and DC!
Think bigger, PureFlix!

Some more queer flicks
Since my last week was very focused on only the G with some B, I decided that this week needed some L and T thrown in too. Here are some quick reviews for the LGBT flicks I watched last week plus Veneno, which I just finished. I took a long time on this one since my anxiety has been bad and stress is super high:
Tangerine
Pretty much a slice of life movie that takes place within one day. The movie doesn't really take itself seriously, and while the characters are all rather trashy and ignorant, they tend to be sympathetic and realistic. I will say that there is probably a reason why only the actress for Sin-Dee never did anything else, although one of her lines in Donut Time got the biggest laugh from me. It at times felt like they had the characters ad lib the most ignorant statement that popped in their heads, like when they called the Mamasan a mail order bride.
I think the main gimmick of this movie is that it was shot on three iPhone 5S. I assume they used a telephonic lens extension since iPhones did not have HD recording until around X or so, I believe. I also have no clue what they used to color grade the movie since it looked really yellow on my screen. I think there were some nice shots, but the color made the whole movie looked as piss-soaked as Sin-Dee's wig at the end.
Overall, an enjoyable movie although somewhat chaotic and scattered at times.
Boys Don't Cry
It's hard for me to really break down the story of this movie, since it's based on a real life event of a trans man being murdered by homo/transphobic men. I do find it damning that the moviemakers decided to write the disabled black man out of the real life events. In the actual story, he was Candace's boyfriend. It felt like the movie really wanted to paint Brandon as a charmer, so they decided to erase a real person to have Brandon flirt with Candace too. I still think it comes off as racist and ableist that they erased a person.
With all that said, the movie is well-acted and looks great. I was horrified during the rape scene and the aftermath. My only other issue is that I wish they had actually hired a trans man or at least made Hillary Swank appear more masculine, although, the trans man this movie is based on was pre-op and hadn't taken hormones. Chloe Sevigny is also great in it, and I think she's underrated.
I do recommend the movie, but it really annoys me that they removed a real person for possibly discriminatory reasons. I was also annoyed that they couldn't afford The Cure's Boys Don't Cry and used some pretty lame cover.
Carol
Beautiful, perfect, incredible. I honestly don't have anything bad to say about this film, except that I was expecting more with Carrie Brownstein since her name was in the opening credits, but she has one scene. She was apparently to be Therese's second love interest towards the end of the film, but she's basically a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo. This movie is gorgeous with the desaturated colors as well. It's just an all-around amazing movie, and I recommend everyone watch it right now.
Three Months
I was mostly curious to see if Troye Sivan could act, but I was pleasantly surprised by this film. It has a lot of heart to it. There were some moments that were awkward like when Dara said they'd be late to work (seemed like they cut it at a weird time), but the movie is pretty good with pacing, acting, and directing otherwise, although sometimes the faces were framed a little too low so the closed-captioning would cover their lips, but that might be more of an issue with Paramount+. It is a very good movie even with its rather bittersweet ending as we never learn what happens to Estha.
My only real issue with the ending is that Troye's character goes from wearing chucks with his sketches all over them to plain, white ones. It felt a little too on the nose as a metaphor for him having a fresh, new start, otherwise, I enjoyed the movie and I myself was (probably still am) the character Troye portrays in this movie, listening to Perfume Genius, Bowie, The Drums, Scissor Sisters, etc., saying weird things that pop to my head, and watching silly b-movies, although I'll never have a friend as cool as Dara it seems.
The Runaways
I was actually a little disappointed in how little queerness there is in this movie aside from Joan kissing random women and Cherie. I did like the movie though, especially since I do like Joan Jett and The Runaways' music. The part where Kristen as Joan sings "Love is Pain" out of the blue did take me out though. Stick to acting, babe. Great performances for everyone, but I felt like Dakota's voice was a little too high and sweet to really do Cherie's growlish, punk voice. Fun watch, though.
Just Friends
This movie was not very good at all. It started out fine enough, but it felt like the characters were just not developed at all. I didn't even understand why they broke up. It seemed to be because Yad cared too much about his mother's opinions, but it sort of comes out of nowhere. Plus, if my boyfriend beat up some homophobes, I'd probably cheer. I did find it odd how often the lead was just naked in front of his mother. This movie really needed time to breathe. It felt poorly written and rushed, although some things may be lost since I don't understand Dutch. Also, why did he make an iMovie spank bank file for a guy he knew for a month? Meh!
Veneno
¡Digo! I enjoyed this series, but I also did not expect to see that much nudity on a TV show. I have no clue how much of the story was true or just the way Cristina remembered things, but it was entertaining and heartbreaking at the same time. Her relationship with her family reminded me of my own, and I think I'm slowly realizing that I have to leave just like she did to be able to live authentically as myself. Definitely recommend it.
My only big issue with the series is that the Spanish subtitles are terrible, so I assume the English ones are too. I think they tried to adapt the subtitles to Latin American Spanish, but it started to bother me how much they changed. Every sentence was basically changed, and it started to bug me that I could hear what they were saying, and the subtitles were completely different or changed even though it would be said the same in Latin American Spanish. It's really terrible.

Smokey brand Movie Reviews: Knuck If You Buck
I finally got to see Sonic the Hedgehog 2! I missed it in theaters because of various ailments and had resigned myself to the VOD release but the internet is a funny place and i found an HD copy of this thing online. Like, this thing is still in theaters and i just screened it on my couch, in my underwear. Sometimes, I love the future. Though it was a little disappointing watching this thing on my computer, i must say, i enjoyed the f*ck out of it. But why did i enjoy it? IS it the best video game movie, ever? Is it a decent Sonic film? I got answers and thoughts. IF you’re interested, read on!
The Good
Ben Schwartz is the best Sonic we have to date. All love to my Sonic, Jaleel White, but Schwartz kills it in this role. There is a genuine sincerity in how he approaches this version of the character and it’s hard to fins fault in his choices.
Idris Elba is amazing as Knuckles. I thought he was a little stiff at first but then i realized that’s just Knuckles. He’s a stiff dude. It’s in his character and Elba knew when to lean into that. He did a great job with some of the levity, too. I damn near lost all of my sh*t with the Badnik steps.
Colleen O'Shaughnessey does her thing as Tails, which she’s done for years. O'Shaughnessey became the voice of tails eight years a go. I can’t hear anyone else playing the character so i am exceedingly glad that Paramount didn’t try to force in a “tar” for this role. It wouldn’t be Miles if they did.
Jim Carrey is Jim Carrey. He’s going to do his Jim Carrey thing and it’s always entertaining. It’s sad he’s “retired” now but he chose a solid role to go out on.
This film looks really good. Sega has pulled out all the stops to make this movie compete with other effect blockbusters and it rally shows. I am super glad they got bullied into redesigning Sonic because i shudder to thing what that Knuckles would look like.
I have to say, this is some solid Sonic world building. The universe this live action take is crafting, has my attention and i want to see so much more of it. I’ve been a Sonic fan since i was a kid, like five or six years old, and seeing my beloved Blue Blur getting such a rich narrative on the big screen feels my inner child with such joy.
SUPER SONIC!
I have to say, all those little references to the franchise were awesome. Chili dogs, buttcopters and wall climbs, Green Hills Zone ringtones, Robotnik’s Mean Bean, G.U.N, Sanic; My fanboy heart was all in a tizzy with so many goddamn easter eggs.
“That movie is the wooooooooorrrrst!”
Project Shadow.
The Meh
The writing is a bit derivative but this is a movie for kids so it’s okay. Like, i wasn’t mad that this isn’t “Citizen Kane but with a hedgehog” but i feel like it could have used another pass over that script.
The Bad
The human parts derail this movie is the most uncouth way imaginable. The whole wedding plot is unnecessary and i cannot stand the sister character. Loud Black Woman is my least favorite movie trope and she was just going in on that sh*t hard.
Those human parts absolutely wrecked the pacing. This movie is over to hours long and it feels like it, but that’s because there are so many superfluous and useless human scenes. You could shave a whole half hour off this thing if you withe cut the wedding or just condensed it. I mean, Shemar Moore’s character absolutely disappeared with, like, an hour left to go. Why was he even in this thing??
The Verdict
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a fun time and a really good video game film. It’s not super profound or going to change your life after seeing it but it’s enjoyable and accessible. There is a whole world growing before our eyes and we get to experience that through some outstanding performances from Ben Schwartz, Idris Elba and Colleen O'Shaughnessey. Jim Carrey hams it all the way up as Eggman and ate every second of that sh*t up. At the end of the day, this is a movie for kids and fans but it’s surprisingly earnest with it’s message. It’s a little long in the tooth and A LOT of the human scenes could have been but but, all in all, i think it’s worth a watch. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a great example of how to make a video game into a film and i hope Sonic 3 is just as good.

the world is small (but my heart is large)
summary:
Harri James Potter's world is small.
It focuses on her mum, her tiny council flat, her crap school and the library where she hides away.
She does not want a Hogwarts letter.
She does not want a soulmate.
(Too bad she gets that and more.)
Chapter 2 |
CHAPTER 1: my mum cries and my dad stays dead
CHAPTER SUMMARY: Harri Potter's only family is her mum (but she does hate her dead dad a little bit. Just a little bit though.)
The best way to win at marbles, Harri thinks, readying her finger to flick that glass orb of swirling grey and green and blue, is to guess the next move, wherever it may hit.
The marble chinks against a yellow and green one, bounding off it and rolling under Harri’s door and though the hallway into the small living room where her mum and Aunt Petunia are. She wonders if she should go and get it, because Aunt Petunia strictly told her, with a shrewd glance and pinched lips, to not disturb her and mum.
Still, small, young, naive Harri James Potter reassures herself, it can’t be that bad if I just get a marble, can it?
Harri opens her door quietly, green orbs blinking like flickering street lights as she surveys the hallway.
There’s no one there.
She breathes a sigh of relief.
She tiptoes against the carpeted floor, spotting her marble just past the gap of the door that opens to the living room. There’s really no point tiptoeing at all, Harri muses, her nest of curls bobbing by her shoulders as she tiptoes against the wall, but it makes her feel like she’s in a spy movie.
Like James Bond, she thinks excitedly, or maybe like The Doctor, trying to solve an alien mystery riddled with traps.
Her bare feet curl in the carpet as she peeps behind the door, noting that her marble is there, just beside the plant pot and box TV.
Her and mum’s TV isn’t like Dudley and Aunt Petunia’s; they’ve got the latest flat screen TV with premium HD definition thanks to Uncle Vernon, and Harri knows this because of all the bragging she had to endure from pig-like Dudley when she went to their house and had to share the TV with Dudley, watching his stupid cartoons like The Clangers and He-Man.
He also brags about his house, all the time! Honestly, it’s not like his mortgaged house in Surrey, with its polished wood and pristine walls and always-clean kitchen, is better than her and mum’s tiny flat with its box TV and small hallway and two small bedrooms in London. So what if he’s got the latest magician set and she has to satisfy herself with her swirling, whirling marbles? It’s not like she cares.
At. All.
(Nuh-uh.)
Still, it'd be nice to have a magician set even if all it did was stay in her room as a showpiece. Harri focuses intently, wondering if she can simply slip her fingers through the gap and retrieve it like that. She’s about to test it out when she can hear Aunt Petunia raise her voice.
“...I can’t keep doing this, Lily!”
“‘Tuney – “
“No!” Aunt Petunia shrills, and it's almost as if she’s about to blow a fuse. “You say you’ll pay back the money, that you’ll finally get a good, reputable, well-paying job! How much longer, Lily? How much?”
Her mum is quiet for a moment, her harsh breathing evident.
Suddenly, Harri is undeniably scared.
Her mum’s never been like this before.
“See!” Aunt Petunia laughs, high and shrill. “You can’t even answer me!”
“Petunia…” Her mum says at last, quiet and still.
“Petunia.” Aunt Petunia mocks, standing from her chair judging by the scrape of the chair. “No ‘Petunia’ any more, Lily. I’ve spent five years trying to help you, and you keep holding me back! I’ve got a family, Lily! A husband, a child, that needs me! I can’t spend all my spare time on you freaks, trying to justify helping you to Vernon any longer!”
There’s a moment of silence, as if the air itself is heavy and still, waiting in anticipation.
“...Why can’t you go back?” Aunt Petunia says at last, resigned and hoping still. “If you had such good grades, if you were on your way for a Mastery…”
“They wouldn’t take me now.” Her mum says, her voice weak and tired.
Her mum’s always tired, nowadays.
Always one blow away from crumbling into dust, disappearing with the wind.
“Not with who - what - I am…They hate people like me. Like you.”
“I’m not like you.” Aunt Petunia hisses, her voice venomous and chilling Harri to the bone. “I’m not a freak.”
Her mum stays quiet and seems to be sipping her tea.
“I hate you, you know, Lily.” Aunt Petunia says at last. “You were brilliant - with your talent and your looks and your personality. Going off to that school, falling in love, having a daughter.”
Aunt Petunia takes a deep breath of air.
“Brilliant, perfect Lily, with her red hair and perfect teeth and unblemished face. Perfect Lily with her fairytale life…And now look at you, stuck in a council flat, taking loan after loan, working a zero-hours contract job! You’re barely even there for your daughter, Lily!”
Aunt Petunia always said ‘your daughter’.
Never Harri.
(It’s as if she didn’t want Harri to exist.)
“War does that to you, ‘Tuney…Losing a soulmate, does that to you.”
Aunt Petunia lets out a disgusted sound.
“No. No, it doesn’t. You did this to yourself, Lily. Look what you’ve become.” Aunt Petunia is brisk in her next words.
“I suppose this is what happens after ‘Happily Ever After’.”
Harri’s mum stays silent while Aunt Petunia continues.
“Take the money. Keep it. It’s at least one less loan for you to worry about. But don’t contact me again. I don’t want anything to do with your world or your daughter or you. Leave me and my family alone.”
Mum’s world? Harri wants to ask, but she’s too busy scrambling away from the door so that Aunt Petunia doesn’t notice.
Harri fails in that pursuit.
She trips on her feet just as Aunt Petunia comes out the door, noticing Harri sprawled on the floor. She doesn’t say anything, doesn’t even smile; she just looks at Harri, so cold and unfeeling, and shrugs her bag on her shoulder, opening the door and slamming it behind her.
After that day, Harri doesn’t see Aunt Petunia again.
---
Harry’s world becomes a lot smaller after that day.
With no infrequent trips to lovely old Surrey, she’s stuck wandering the streets of London. Her mum is more scattered than ever, making enough money to sustain them and pay off her loans only just; there’s not a lot she can do, after all. She’s got no O-Levels, no A-Levels and no University degree.
Nothing at all.
Still, they survive. Harri was only seven when Aunt Petunia walked out that day, and yet, it seems she’s sometimes more of an adult than mum.
Mum, who forgets to pay the bills on time, leaving Harri to work out how to pay them instead.
Mum, who forgets to cook lunch, leaving Harri to struggle her way through the cookbook from Neighbour Number 9.
Mum, who tries to do Harri’s hair for school but always has to leave before seven o’clock, leaving Harri to get dressed, make breakfast and walk to school by herself.
Sometimes, Harri thinks she’s more of a mum than Mum and she knows she’s right.
Sometimes, when Mum comes back late, eyes tired and looking far older than her age of twenty-seven, she sits by Harri’s bedside and strokes her growing hair, tucking a strand behind her ear and crying quietly.
Sometimes, when Mum is crying, and Harri is faking sleep because she stayed up too late reading a book on fairy tales, she wishes she looked like Mum who tries so hard to be there for Harri and yet still fails miserably.
Sometimes, when Mum leaves Harri’s room and stumbles to her, exhausted from her day of work, and Harri opens her eyes, sometimes she wishes she looked more like her mum with her blood-red hair and pale skin and instead of like her dead dad, with his bird’s nest of curly hair and his golden-brown skin.
Sometimes, she thinks, tucked in her tiny council flat bedroom, she wishes her mum hadn’t been cursed with a soulmate.
Unfortunately, she was, and now Harri has to deal with it.
Harri’s world is small, restricted to her council flat home and the looming library and her pretty crap school, but when Mum cries because of Dad (because of her –) Harri’s world is even smaller, making her a prisoner to her Mum’s cries.
When Mum cries for Dad, Harri becomes smaller, and she ends up hating her dead dad just a bit.
(Not much. Just a bit, though. Just a bit. Promise.)

5 DirecTV FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions
I recently signed another 2-year contract with DirecTV, having spent a few months with the cable figuratively cut. The NFL season hit, however, and having no other good way to watch my Indianapolis Colts, I decided that a free NFL Sunday Ticket package was worth getting back on the hook.
Imagine my frustration, then, when I couldn’t get the DirecTV Player working on any of my Windows 8.1 machines, specifically my homebuilt desktop, Dell Venue 8 Pro, and Microsoft Surface Pro 3. The DirecTV Player installation complained about a missing Flash player, whether I was running Internet Explorer or Chrome, which made no sense given that I confirmed that Flash was indeed installed and working for everything else. However, the version of Flash that the DirecTV Player installer tried to download was apparently an older version and wouldn’t download. A bit of a conundrum.
Here’s the initial setup process, for desktop Internet Explorer 11.
A search on the problem took me to Microsoft’s Support Community, where a poster provided the following link to download the Flash player (a general link that downloads the latest version, currently 15): Install Flash.
Downloading and installing this version worked, regardless of the fact that Flash was already installed.
Once this version of Flash was installed correctly, the DirecTV Player installation could be completed.
Once the browser was refreshed, the DirecTV Player was available and working.
For whatever reason, these steps work for both Internet Explorer 11 and Chrome, both on the desktop. My searches turned up references to the DirecTV Player not working with 64-bit Windows 8.1, but I experienced the issue on my Venue 8 Pro running 32-bit Windows as well. Note that the fix doesn’t work for the modern UI Internet Explorer; so far, I can’t get that to work on any of my machines, which might be by design (DirecTV may simply not yet support modern Internet Explorer).
I’m surprised that I haven’t heard more about this issue. If this isn’t happening for other people running Windows 8.1, then I can’t understand why it happened to me on so many different machines. In any event, I now have the DirecTV player working on both of my Windows 8.1 tablets, which was my biggest concern.
Directv Player Won't Install
Let me know if you have the problem, and if these steps work for you.

We were so focused on Bruno's adorable awkward smile, we forgot to mention the rest of them...
Give some appreciation to my man Agustín : the guy is covered in bee stings, but he just wants to participate in the group hug !
Can we talk about how he towers over Bruno and decided to just...rest his head on his like that ?
