Movies I watched this Week #120 (Year 3/Week 16):

“Give up my daughter. That’s the price you pay. For the life you choose.”

First watch: Coda, The death of Michael Corleone, Coppola’s 2020 (minimal) re-cut of his 1990 masterpiece ‘The Godfather Part 3′. I never understood the haters. (And the misogyny against Sofia Coppola as Mary was completely misplaced.) Even though part 3 is obviously not as perfect as the first two, it’s still a superb and subtle work. A Shakespearean tragedy, operatic and expansive, it resonates with me deeply. 10/10.

I love how symmetric it is: The “Just when I thought I was out” scene clocks in exactly on the 1:00 hour mark, the Sicily first introduction exactly at the half-movie mark (1:17), and the Cavalleria Rusticana concert start exactly on the 2:00 hour mark..

It’s also a parallel Coppola Family Saga, with sister Talia Shire as Connie, daughter Sofia as Mary, father Carmine composing, nephew Nicolas Cage producing, his parents and a bunch of other family members in the background. Also, Martin Scorsese's mother.

🍿

3 by Irish John Michael McDonagh, Martin’s older brother:

🍿 'I can't tell if you're really motherfuckin' dumb, or really motherfuckin' smart'.

His brilliant feature directorial debut, the perfectly calibrated buddy cop thriller, The Guard. A philosophical comedy of manners featuring Brendan Gleeson’s and Don Cheadle‘s best roles. Foul mouthed but duty-bound Sergeant Gerry Boyle of the Irish Garda is a character that will not soon be forgotten. It was so good that the moment I finished it, I wanted to see it again. 10/10

🍿 His next film Calvary was completely different and still tremendous. An exceptional examination of abandonment, troubled faith and broken parenthood, it opens with honest village priest Brendan Gleeson who hears a confession by a man who was horribly abused during his childhood. The unseen man promises to kill the priest next Sunday, in order to avenge his own suffering, so the priest knows he has only one week to put his house in order. A profound play with a transcendental finale. 10/10.

🍿 I was excited to continue with McDonagh’s next two movies, but War on Everyone was so horribly disappointing, that his last one, ‘The Forgiven’, will now have to wait. ‘War on Everyone’ was as if a second-rated hack was assigned to remake ‘The Guard’ in a Hollywood Mold, but was ordered to mix it with elements from ‘Lethal Weapon’ and ‘Rush hour’. 2/10.

🍿

Sweet Land, an independent art-film from Minnesota, about a 1920′s mail-order emigrant-bride who arrives at a farm with the wrong paperwork. Very much reminiscent of ‘Days of Heaven’ lyrical landscapes. It was the only film directed by otherwise-successful TV-director Ali Selim. It opens with a stirring scene of an old woman dying, told in a unique way, realistic and poetic at the same time.

🍿

2 more with Jacques Demy:

🍿 Jacquot de Nantes, My 10th film by Agnès Varda. In 1991, Just before her husband Jacques Demy's death, Varda created this bio-docudrama as a dramatisation of his early life. From his happy childhood in the Loire, discovering his love for film-making, under the German occupation and up until he left for Paris to study cinema. The nostalgic fictional recreations are the most French evocations I ever saw. And then, because she’s a great documentarian, she mixes them up with frequent comments by the dying Demy himself, as well as clips from his movies corresponding to these memories.

This is a heartfelt love letter from one great artist to another - Absolutely fantastic! 9/10.

🍿 My 4th by Jacques Demy himself, his 2nd, the extraordinary Bay of Angels. A doomed romance and the allure of gambling never seen so glamorous and so hopeless. 9/10.

I really must sit through his complete “Oeuvre”!

🍿

Masaan (”Crematorium”) is a realistic art film about suffering and loss, an unusual and uncomfortable Hindi film, which won various accolades. It takes place in Varanasi, among the ‘ghats’, body-burners on the banks of the Ganges. It tells two separate stories that do not converge until the final scene. The more compelling one is about an ordinary young woman, who’s caught having sex in a hotel room. A cruel policeman (An hateful character if I ever saw one on film), blackmails her father and threatens him that he will “tell” about his daughter, if not paid an absorbent amount of money. 5/10.

(Incidentally, before the opening title, there was a lengthy anti-smoking PSA, and when somebody in the movie lighted a cigarette, a small message appeared at the bottom of the screen: ‘Smoking is injurious to health’.)

🍿

2 about Father & Daughter Reunion:

🍿 Acidman, another new drama about a fraught relationship between estranged father and his grown-up daughter. He’s a recluse who lives alone “out in the middle of nowhere”, and she tracks him down to the forests of the NW, after having lost contact with him for 10 years. Meanwhile he had became distant and disoriented and is only interested in UFO’s.

It’s a story that is resonant with me, but it was poorly made, all atmosphere, and without a point. 2/10.

🍿 Wild Roots, another excellent feature debut by a young woman director, this one from Hungary. 12-year-old “wild” girl who lives with her grandparents forms a new, complicated relationship with her tough father who was just released from prison after 7 years. You wouldn’t guess that both actors were amateurs. 8/10. (Photo Above).

🍿

Tom McCarthy is one of my favorite minor directors, and by now I’ve seen all 9 of his movies. He wrote and directed The Visitor after his terrific debut ‘The Station Agent’, and before writing the script for ‘Up’. A tender and humane story about cold and lonely widower Richard Jenkins who discovers an illegal immigrant couple living in his empty NYC apartment, when he shows up unannounced one night. Made in 2007, it dealt with the painful realities of life after 9/11. Sad and nuanced. With Succession’s Hiam Abbass. 8/10. 🍿

3 more films from the “100% score on Rotten Tomatoes” list:

🍿 Pinocchio, Walt Disney’s 2nd feature (after ‘Snow White'), and one of at least 23 adaptations to the story. Cuckoo clocks, Tyrolean hats, cigar smoking bad boys, Monstro the sperm whale, they are all there. Conveying to children the "middle-class virtues of deferred gratification, self-denial, thrift, and perseverance, naturalized as the experience of the most average American".

🍿 Polanski’s favorite film, Carol Reed’s morality tale Odd man out; The last hours of injured IRA leader James Mason. Exquisite black and white German Expressionist Noir style cinematography, which Reed later repeated in ‘The third man’.

🍿 Jonah Hill’s 2nd directorial feature, the documentary Stutz, about his therapist. His coming-of-age debut film, ‘Mid90s’ was terrific. This one is OK; Partially-meta, a bit too self-indulgent and self-centered. Robert Downey Jr.’ similar project ‘Sr.’, also from 2022, was better.

🍿

Grizzly Man, the Werner Herzog documentary about bear enthusiast Timothy Treadwell who lived out among ferocious Alaskan brown bears for 13 summers - until he was eaten by one. Herzog used some of the 100 hours of video tapes that Treadwell himself recorded.

🍿

“Give my love to Tabboulah”

The Castle, the 1997 feel-good low-brow comedy, considered to be “One of the greatest Australian films ever made”. A story about a simple, low-middle-class family who are fighting (and winning) en eviction forced upon them by Eminent Domain, there called ‘Compulsory acquisition’. With Bryan Dawe, the ‘Front Fell Off’ guy as a lawyer.

🍿

Between 1909-1914 Denmark was the most prosperous film center in Europe. The 1910 erotic melodrama The Abyss ("Afgrunden”) launched the career of Asta Nielsen, Europe's first great female film star. It’s about a piano teacher who destroys her life by running away with a circus performer she became sexually obsessed with.

🍿

Riotsville, USA is a new documentary about a little known fact from the turbulent Civil Right Struggle of the 60′s. After the Watts Riots, a report from a government panel recommended a massive infrastructure changes to address poverty and inequality. But the only steps taken were funneling of resources into more militarization of the police to combat “race riots” and “street violence”, both of anti-war and black protesters. A fake ‘War Game’ town called Riotsville was build to train cops from all over the country in how to suppress demonstrations.

America is a deeply, fundamentally racist society, and its history comes down to race; from Slavery to Jim Craw to the civil rights of the 60′s up to today’s GOP. However, this badly-put-together film was weak, arbitrary and meandering. 2/10.

🍿

2 George Carlin evergreens:

🍿 His perfect 1999 Special You Are All Diseased. There never was, and never will be, a deeper, funnier and more insightful comedian than St. George. Also, nobody understood America better. It includes such classics as American Bullshit and When it comes to bullshit, big time, major league bullshit, you have to stand in awe, in awe of the all-time champion of false promises and exaggerated claims… religion.

The full transcript is worth a read: ...Living in this country, you’re bound to know... that America’s leading industry, America’s most profitable business is still the manufacture, packaging, distribution, and marketing of bullshit… high quality, grade-A, prime cut, pure American bullshit.

🍿 Complaints and Grievance, released on December 11, 2001. Originally named ‘I Kinda Like It When a Lot of People Die’, he had to change the name of it. Still hilarious. This copy is sound only.

🍿

I’ve seen Black Mirror’s USS Callister many times, even though I never saw any episodes of the space operas on which it is based (Star Trek, Star Wars, etc.). It’s because of the rebelliously-cute Nanette Cole fighting (and winning over) the male abuser. Funny, that Jesse Pinkman joined Jesse Plemons in this episode. 9/10.

🍿

4 shorts:

🍿 For the 1999 MTV Movie Awards, Wes Anderson created three promo spots, each one a staged re-creation of a nominated movie in the style of the Hollywood-inspired Rushmore plays (Serpico & the Vietnam War one). All three shorts (Armageddon, Out of Sight, The Truman Show) star Jason Schwartzman as Max Fisher, along with the rest of the Max Fischer Players.

🍿 Chuck Jones - The Evolution of an Artist, an old ‘Every frame a painting’ episode by fantastic editor Tony Zhou, about how a good artist became a great one.

Extra: How Kurosawa composed movement. Damn! I need to stop bullshitting and start watching every one of his 31 movies again!

🍿 A History Of The World According To Getty Images is a short documentary about property, profit, and power, made out of archive footage sourced from the online catalogue of Getty Images. It forms a historical journey through some of the most significant moments of change caught on camera, while at the same time reflecting on archive images’ own histories as commodities and on their exploitation as ‘intellectual property’.

I got snaaaacks 🍿🥤

Not as expensive as I thought like $10 for a small popcorn and small icee, but that's more than the price of a matinee so yknow 🤷‍♀️

Was very good though sgdgdgd think I'll do the order ahead pick up in theater thing if I get snacks again, but I only ate like half the bag agdgdggd big ass bag for a small and tiiiiiny cup for a small icee

Anyway the movie was really good! I forgot spiderman is marvel though 😬 but I used my movie credit so I didn't pay for it. Still though...

Anyway really liked it, really liked the casting and story. Didn't end the way I thought it would tbh. I'll put my spoilers under the cut. Sat second farthest row back bc getting snacks took so long that the end seats were already taken in the row I picked and I didnt wanna make someone get up especially when the theater was so sparsely filled anyway like it's not REALLY assigned seating (unless you order stuff to your seat)

But! I could see the screen a lot better and I didn't need my ear plugs even with it being a loud action movie so that's a plus! Fun little trip all around :)

Oh! And guess what trailer was playing when I came in. Guess. :)

Imaginary. I fucking hate those trailers 😭 stop making me see Chauncey 😭 hes not even cute!! And Alice sobbing at the end makes me saaaaad having seen the other trailer

AND Tarot looks really fucking good even if I haaaate horror movies. Like the premise that whatever card you picked is responsible for your death (I think that's it, I'll have to look it up) is really cool (couldnt help but think of stardust crusaders 😅 I'm like 👀 what does the Hierophant do? 👀 like we saw the hermit, the high priestess, the hanged man (kinda??) Like what else... let me see without watching the whole movie and being paranoid for a week like horror always makes me 😭) anyway I think it's the first 12 cards and 13, death, was the last one tying their fate I THINK. Anyway idk if I'll see that 😬 but it's funny bc I remember when Ouija came out I tried to convince my friends to skip school with me and go see it but no ones parents would let them call out sick but mine sgdggdgd my mom was like whatever just let me know if your friends take you to the movies (they did not.) Anyway I picked that bc it looked cool and they liked horror, and I think this is the same "franchise" same director

The creepy rhyme of the rules was cool sgdgdgd

Spoilers for Madame Web under the cut ⬇️

So it's a prequel to spiderman! I didn't know that! We got to see Uncle Ben becoming Uncle Ben, and he didn't just have like a short cameo like he was apart of the story which was cool, I liked that.

The "hints" that theres gonna be more involving her and the girls looks cool. Maybe I'll see em when marvel stops being shitty fuckers. (So likely online... for free. (; )

I wish Ezekiel didn't die in the end (he's super super dead lol) bc he was a cool villain! I really liked his character and he had a lot of potential! I wonder if that's gonna play a part in the upcoming series, like if he's somehow alive again (probably not). I might look up free scans of the comics later bc I really like Julia, shes so cute agdgdgd I mean I like them all but I like Julia's spider-sona the best

I liked the overall idea and plot, though the Las Arachas (I think that's how you spell it) scared the fucking shit out of me sgdgdgdggdgd I was like oh that's a cool legend, wonder if it's real. Have to look that up later. OH SHIT

Also glad they didn't kill the mom, I thought they did bc they didnt even like move Cassie closer when her mom was reaching for her??? Hello??? Asshole??

Also shout out to customer who called in the girl's sighting, even though it led Ezekiel to them, way to not be a bystander 🤙

Also nitpicky thing but I wish Cassie had given the girls a count when she taught them CPR, I remember we needed to count (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4... or something) over and over when we learned it, or tell them to use the beat of Staying Alive (could've easily gotten the rights... then make a joke ab them not knowing that song bc haha Cassie old)

Mainly just wish they didnt kill him, like that would have been such a good "oh I'll be back. Just you wait" type villian! I mean I get it, he would stop at nothing to kill em but like come ooon

Anyway highly recommend seeing this... online ;] ;) bc marvel is shit

#marquilla #im gonna shower and then ill look up the tarot movie bc if i do it first im gonna be paranoid and need bosha to get his steel chair and he #is on break from that sgdgdgdgd #(to combat my usually self-induced paranoia that i get from horror shit i mentally have my stuffed bear Bosha smash em #with a steel chair like it's the wwe and he's smashing whatever im paranoid ab with a chair and that makes me feel better)

🍿 bangtan theatre presents: annoying

🍿 if you would like to order, please purchase your movie tickets and snacks here!

THIS WILL BE RE-WRITTEN AS A ONESHOT

If you didn't have to work part-time because of your decreasing budget, you never would’ve worked here in the first place.

You watch him at the cash register, smiling at the customers who are mostly women and you know that it’s his way of flirting to gain more tips. The bubble tea shop has been earning more customers and new regulars now that Jungkook started working here. You know why but you don’t say anything because your manager’s loving the booming of his boba business.

Though both you and Jungkook applied for the same position, somehow you get assigned to the cashier part more than him and that annoyed you because you love making drinks than talking to customers. Now you're currently fuming because he just made you finish the drink that he started so he could take over your task for today.

“is he on shift?”

“is who?” you didn't mean to sound rude but it’s the same girl that's been coming here for weeks now so you obviously know who she’s talking about.

“sorry i’m not sure who you are referring to?” you try again with your customer service voice in case she actually complains to your manager about your attitude.

“the cute barista” the girl fusses and you almost breathe out fire then and there but before you can even reply, you hear Jungkook’s saccharine voice from behind you make your jaw clench.

“hi, can i take your order?”

“jeon, what the-”

“y/n, would you kindly finish the drink i started? its customer is waiting already” the fake polite smile he’s giving you made you smile curtly back at him before taking a deep breath and pretending that he just didn’t take over without giving you a chance to protest.

Customer where? You’ve been yelling the order number and waiting for a while until the customer finally showed up to take it. You look up to the clock to see how much time you have left until your break because you need a damn drink to clear your head.

You're used to girls flocking him since you were in elementary and yet seeing it affects you till this day. He's not at fault since it's just you who have these stupid feelings for him and that’s what irked you more.

How you’re still somehow hoping that he’ll like you back even when he’s never looked at you like how you do at him.

You’re refilling the powders in the jars since it's usually the first task that you do after clocking in when you just noticed the change of the shop’s interior.

“how is it?” a whisper comes beside you and you almost scream of surprise.

“did you fucking add these designs on the wall?”

Your eyebrows are scrunched together while reading the letter bulb lights that says “don’t yell at me” on the wall in front of you.

“you like it?”

“does it look like i LIKE it?”

“well you yell at me all the time and our manager asked me to redesign some stuff, i’m just doing my job” he replies, his hand quoting in the air that pissed you off even more.

“YOU’RE SO FUCKING ANNOYING” you turn to hit him but the motherfucker backs away too fast and proceeds to re-arrange the chairs and tables.

Of course, your manager would let him whatever the fuck he wants. It's obvious that Jungkook's your manager’s favourite employee that's why you do your best to take as many shifts as you can, volunteering to cover other shifts before Jungkook can since the manager always gives him more hours.

And he always competes to get extra shifts for no reason.

You wonder if it’s just his nature or he just does it to piss you off. When you saw him during the interview, you were nervous because you really thought that you wouldn’t get hired with Jungkook as your rival for the position. Thankfully, the manager hired both of you but that doesn’t mean that you can’t compete for any promotion that Jungkook might want.

“i love you though, what are you gonna do about it”

His voice broke you out of your trance and your eyes widen at what he just said. How did he find out?

“funny”

“i know you never take me seriously but do you wanna go out later after your shift?” he scratches the back of his head as he nears the counter, looking anywhere but you while he refills the straws. You don’t even know why he’s here helping you when today’s his day off so he must be serious..

“wait, you deadass like me?”

“well, you're my cup of tea so?”

You fight the snort that’s coming out from your mouth and instead give him an endearing smile because of how adorable he looks right now. That line might be cheesy but it did make your heart flutter.

“try again jeon” you tease as you scrunch your nose at him, shaking your head playfully when you see his face getting red from embarrassment.

“that line always works!” he protests and you can see the slight panic in his eyes since you haven’t answered him yet.

“whatever Kook see you at 3” you reply as you turn away to make more drinks.

Jungkook's shocked that you said yes because he didn't think that you would especially after the embarrassing corny line that he just said. It's the only reason why he came here early, help you a bit so you’d be in a good mood when it’s time for him to ask you out.

To say you're nervous is an understatement. You could've gone straight to the date after your shift but after looking up the place that Jungkook sent, you want to look good even if dressing fancy isn’t needed. He asked you out after all though you still can’t believe that he did so you’re going to make sure that you’re more than ready for this date.

He arrived at the same time as you and something inside you warm at how you're both always syncs with each other even outside work. The both of you enter the bistro and settle on your seats while waiting for the server to take your orders. It's a bit awkward since none of you has said anything so far, just smiling curtly at each other when your eyes meet and you’re getting antsy.

“okay so-”

“this isn’t going to-”

“to what?”

Jungkook asks you and you’re not sure what to respond. You were going to respond but the server just arrived and you immediately ordered quite a lot because you were very hungry since you didn’t eat lunch yet after your shift. Jungkook was surprised as well though he’s planning to pay for everything for this date, it’s cute to see you not holding back on what you eat.

“you didn’t answer me by the way” he starts and you almost choked on your pasta with how Jungkook is looking at you.

“um..uh..” you clear your throat and grabbed the iced tea in front of you to calm you down but he really looks good with his outfit tonight. A dark denim jacket with a plain shirt underneath but of course since it’s Jungkook, it looks hot on him.

What happened next is something that you didn’t expect to happen,

You spilling your iced tea on Jungkook’s very white shirt. His body jerks at the cold liquid and he almost curses before he remembers that it was you who spilled this on him.

“i’m so sorry i didn’t mean to” you whisper in regret but he just glares at you.

“you really hate me that much? you never should’ve said yes to this date” he huffs as he stands up to the counter to pay for the meal since he’s done anyway, leaving you frozen on your seat because you’re still processing what just happened.

Your mind’s formulating on the best way to apologize to Jungkook when your phone rings from the table. It’s your manager and you already know why he’s calling.

The bistro is a bit loud so you decide to put your phone on speaker and you immediately hear your manager asking you to cover the night shift for today because your other coworker can’t. You agreed of course since it’s more hours for you and also because of how disastrous this date is thanks to your clumsiness, you’d have a perfect excuse to escape.

“i paid already” you hear Jungkook mutter so you look up to see his hardened face.

“he called in, so uh”

“i’ll drop you off” he cuts you off and your eyes widen in surprise.

You want to complain and tell him to just go home so he can change but he’s already leaving the table so you had no other choice but to follow him. Jungkook approaches a motorbike that you haven’t seen before and you wonder if he newly bought this one. You didn’t ask of course especially when he silently hands you the extra helmet that he has before gesturing you to climb on. You wordlessly follow him and you were hesitating on where to hold until he grabs your arms to wrap around his waist.

His damn tiny and firm waist.

You immediately clutched on him as soon as he starts the engine, making you hug him fully and you feel him tense. You were about to loosen your hold on him until he gears the bike even more so you had no choice but to put your arms back around him.

Jungkook smells nice, you’re not sure if it’s the perfume or if it’s his natural sce-

“we’re here”

You see your manager coming out from the door as you’re coming off the bike and he comes to tell thank you before leaving for the day because apparently his wife just had an emergency at home. Jungkook smiles at your manager and he smiled even bigger after seeing him, probably thinking how polite Jungkook is for dropping you off.

Or because he thought that Jungkook will be working with you as well because he gives him a sign before he enters his car.

You expected Jungkook to leave right after but instead, he entered the shop with you and grabs the apron from one of the drawers. Before you can ask him, he takes off the jacket that he has and now you can see clearly the stain on his white shirt from the iced tea earlier. The guilt that was creeping out from you instantly vanished when he starts lifting up his shirt so you turn around immediately because damn, you just touched those abs earlier.

Unbeknownst to you, Jungkook actually notices your ogling at him earlier and he smirks a little at seeing you flustered. He wasn’t mad at you per se but he was just a little bit upset from what happened earlier. He’s not upset about you accidentally spilling a drink on him but more so with how you were acting around him. Was the date really that bad? He prepared a lot for this one but alas he already fucked up from the start it seems.

Confusion strikes you when he actually puts the apron on and starts gathering the ingredients from the working station to make a new drink. So he’s actually going to work despite his supposed day off, how very Jungkook of him.

He still hasn’t spoken to you and it’s been driving you crazy. You know he’s still mad but it would’ve been better if he just yells at you instead of giving you the silent treatment because you’re currently walking eggshells around him. He just gets out of your way when you want to do the drink that the customer asks and takes over the cash register without a word.

This is very strange so you need to talk to him after the closing shift.

You did not expect to say sorry this way.

At first, you tried cornering him when there weren't that many customers anymore but he never spared you a glance so you waited till closing, surely you both have to talk. You want to settle this now before your manager starts questioning what's going on between you and his favourite employee.

“Jungkook” you’re drinking your brown sugar milktea as you approach him and you’re hoping that he’ll finally talk to you now that the shop is closed. He has his back on you the whole time and when he turns around, you’re momentarily stunned with how he’s looking at you. He doesn’t look like he’s mad but his heated stares are warming up your cheeks that you stepped back a little.

You take a huge gulp of milktea to calm yourself down and almost choke on the boba when Jungkook comes forward and bends his head down to take a sip of your drink.

All while staring right through your eyes.

And you’ve had enough. You placed the drink on the top behind you before grabbing Jungkook’s face though you paused because of the sudden nerves that replaced your brief confidence.

He just laughs before leaning in to kiss you and you instantly melted around him. Jungkook’s hands are immediately roaming around your body before coming up on your shoulders to tug off the straps of your dress to pull it down along with your bra, revealing your breasts to his hungry eyes.

“knew you had a thing for me”

“shut up”

Jungkook’s kisses descend from your jaw to your neck, and you moan when you taste the brown sugar milktea on his mouth when he returns his lips to yours. His hands come up and start massaging your breasts before pinching your nipples. Jungkook beams at your reaction to his touches, he knows that it’s your favourite flavour because you always make one to drink during your break time. Sometimes, he makes drinks that he thinks you might like though when he found out that taro and matcha aren’t your faves, he pretends that some customer made the wrong order so you wouldn’t find out that he’s the one who paid for them.

“..Jeon..” you whine when his mouth leaves you and you raise your brows in confusion when you see a small bag of chocolate powder in his hands. You didn’t even notice how he managed to take it from the cabinets but maybe he already did earlier when you were busy cleaning up the tables because he stayed behind the counter and insisted on cleaning the workstations so you just opted on doing the rest.

Jungkook smirks at you before moving his head down to take each of your tits to his mouth, his tongue wrapping around your pebbled nipples, wetting them before grabbing the choco power bag and starting pouring its contents to your breasts.

His saliva on your tits allowed the powder to stick into your skin, making you look like a dessert for him. Jungkook’s thinking of teasing you further while he takes off his clothes, not forgetting to fish out the condom from his pocket. He tears the packet off at once before putting it on and starts stroking himself while he watches your hungry expression, the way you bite your lip as you eye his cock is making him even harder as he approaches you.

He’s excited with how your hands eagerly wrapped around his shoulders while he parts your thighs apart, positioning himself between your legs. The sight of your wet pussy because of him is making him want to abandon his plan on teasing you and just fuck you stupid.

“want me to ruin your pussy?”

You nod vigorously, your pleading eyes begging for him to do so and he smiles before lining himself up. Jungkook’s blown-out pupils stare right through yours and you can feel the head of his cock on your entrance but to your surprise, he doesn’t push in. A grin slowly forms on his gorgeous lips and you can see the mischief now in his eyes as he grabs his dick to slap it against your swollen clit.

Another moan comes out of you when Jungkook drops his head to take one of your tits back in his mouth, his eyes solely on you as he starts sucking them alternately that you can’t stop yourself from moaning louder anymore because fuck he’s damn good at this.

“y-you’re so fucking annoying..ahh” you whine when he continues to tease you, running the tip of his cock through your wet folds to coat it even more before he dips it in and pulls back out while he continues to suck on your tits. He does this for a while, finishing off the remaining crust of chocolate around your nipples before sucking them again and you’re gripping his hair hard to urge him to go all-in but he just smiles against your skin.

You yelp when Jungkook suddenly flips you around, bending you on the counter before placing himself behind you, chuckling at your shocked reaction.

“now y/n, let’s hear how you’ll say sorry hmm?”

e/n: don’t do funny business at your workplace or you’ll get fired ok. lordt this was a struggle lmao i almost forgot that you didn’t request eros so i had to delete some scenes bye i got carried away as always 😝

we kinda rusty here but i really might turn this into a oneshot 👀

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword

🍿🍿🍿🍿 🎟🎟🎟🎟

Guy Ritchie's adaptation of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword is new take on the classic story providing the viewer with a more in depth view on how Excalibur came to be and its history with the Pendragon family.

While Arthurian legend has stated Mordred and Arthur's fates are tied together ultimately resulting in their demise, the main enemy in this story is Arthur's uncle Vortigern, who was jelous of Uther and his ability to use Excalibur. He makes a deal with a Syren in exchange for the power to defeat Uther and use the sword for himself.

Vortigern kills Arthur's mother and begins his one on one assault on Uther all while little Arthur watches. Uther, having been defeated, throws the sword into the air and it lands in Uther's back causing him to slowly turn to stone, sealing Excalibur within.

Arthur escapes and is found by ladies of the local brothel where he is raised. His many hardships are valued life lessons met with life long friends. He has become a figure amongst the peasants of the village as well as the guards and cares for ladies and others who dwell within the brothel as they had taken care of him. While he seems to have found a place in this life, he is plagued by the nightmares of the demon who killed his mother and father.

When Arthur unknowingly assaults guests under the King Vortigern's protection, he tries to flee but ends up captured. Sent to Camelot with the other young men his age to find "the born king", he watches amongst the group while one by one men try and fail to remove a sword from stone. Thinking this is nothing but a fools errand, he cuts to the front of the line knowing that once he fails they will send him on his way. Only he does not fail and the born king has come again.

Excalibur, freed from the stone ignites those loyal to the true King of Camelot to rescue Arthur from execution by King Vortigern.

As the weight of Excalibur lays heavy on Arthur, he refuses the responsibility nor does he have a desire to be King. Talks amongst his friends and supporters convince him to participate in bringing King Vortigern's reign to an end. However when an assignation attempt goes wrong, a loss causes Arthur to expel excalibur.

During his inner turmoil about this loss, his uncle and the nightmare of his parents, the Lady of the Lake convinces him to pursue his uncle and bring peace to Camelot. It is during this time that two of the supporters are taken by King Vortigern's army.

Giving into King Vortigern and surrendering himself and Excalibur to save the two hostages, Author begins his assault on the castle.

The end result is pleasing and leaves it open for a sequel.

Now it would be easy for any Arthurian fan to pick at the changes within the movie but keep in mind that this adaptation is not about King Arthur or his love triangle or his many enemies. It is about Excalibur and how it helped Arthur come to terms with the King he needed to be to save his kingdom from tyranny.

Movies I watched this Week #134 (Year 3/Week 30):

The Consequences Of Love, my 6th rewarding film by Paolo Sorrentino, an exceptional mature director. His usual collaborator Toni Servillo plays here a mysterious businessman, who's been staying alone for 8 years at a luxurious Lugano hotel. Rich, stylish and evocative. 8/10.

🍿

4 more by Buñuel:

🍿 The Milky Way, the first of his loose "Search for truth" trilogy, (together with the much better 'The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie' and 'The Phantom of Liberty'). Some intricate heretic and blasphemous polemics against the church - and all believers. Clear inspiration to Jodorowsky. “Thank God I’m an atheist.” 5/10.

🍿 Re-watch: Tristana, a complex tragedy about the patriarchy, innocence, sexuality, obsessiveness and cruelty, offered as a simple soap opera. Fernando Rey is the decadent aristocrat who seduces his young niece, the deceitful Catherine Deneuve, who perversely rebels against this father-husband. That Mustache guard! The artificial leg laying on bed! The Don Lope Bell clapper! 8/10.

🍿 Robinson Crusoe, his first color film, and the first made in English, was a traditional re-telling of the famous story, with (few) subversive elements.

🍿 "...See you at the top, gumdrop..."

The young one (1960) was Buñuel's second film in English, an uncomfortable, disturbing drama, now considered to be one of his forgotten masterpieces. A tense and very disturbing story: A black clarinet player who is falsely accused of rape, finds refuge on an island off the Carolina coast. An unpleasant gamekeeper forces himself on a 13 year old innocent girl (who looks remarkably like Liv Tyler). The two men end up playing a bitter battle-of-wills game, full of tense and racist scenes. An odd morality play examining prejudices, racism and pedophilia.

🍿

The Letter Room, my first by Danish director Elvira Lind. She cast her real-life husband Oscar Isaac as a kind, mustachioed prison guard, who's assigned to go over the prisoners' mail. Ah, The American carceral system! The saddest film I've seen in a while. 9/10.

(Photo Above).

🍿

“Eat the watermelon - it’s yours now”.

Cameraperson, my second superb documentary by elite cinematographer Kristen Johnson (after her incredible 'Dick Johnson is dead').

Johnson shot dozens of films, and this personal collage is a collection of some of her background leftover titbits, establishing shots and related stuff from all over the world. Extremely powerful, even before she breaks out stuff from the most tragic and harrowing places around the world: Guantanamo, Sarajevo, Jasper, Texas, Kabul, Nigeria, Yemen and Mississippi. So much heartbreaks and suffering, told with so much restrain. "Donba!" 9/10.

I discovered this in a short Thomas Flight essay 'The Succession Character You Never See' which describes how important the invisible camera decisions are.

🍿

First watch: Closely Watched Trains, the groundbreaking Czech New Wave classic. Cute, light erotic story about Premature ejaculation and anti-Nazi resistance.

🍿

A mighty wind, another of (Baron!) Christopher Guest's comedy-mockumentaries, this time about a television reunion of three folk bands from the 60's. With a scary-looking Harry Shearer (who later transition into a female), and all the members of the ensemble that made 'Spinal tap', 'Best in show' and others. Perfectly charming. 7/10.

🍿

Loft, the standard 'Erotic thriller' from Belgium was the most successful Flemish-speaking film ever by 2008. 5 successful yuppies, duplicitous swinging dicks, own a fancy loft together, to which they bring their mistresses to. But they are all married, and claim to be faithful when in public. When a woman is found murdered in the loft, it's unclear who killed her or why. 3/10.

🍿

Nine Queens is considered as one of Argentina's greatest films. A crime thriller of two small time street hustlers, who cross and double cross everybody around them again and again. With 2 surprising endings, one of which is typically Argentinian (The bank suddenly defaults!). 5/10.

🍿

My 9th and 10th by Wes Anderson:

🍿 The Darjeeling Limited, a movie about designer suitcases; A visually-provocative but emotionally stunted drama about 3 irritating brothers on an exotic 'spiritual trip' to India. With the first (?) sex scene in any of his movies. All style, no substance. I don't know why I keep watching his films, when I find him empty and pretentious. 4/10.

🍿 Hotel Chevalier was a 12 minutes film he released together with 'Darjeeling', like a Pixar "Short". A prequel with some background about Jack Whitman and his ex-girlfriend. Like 'Prada: Candy', Anderson's perfume ad with Léa Seydoux, shorter is better. This is actually a perfectly little story with the same "Where Do You Go To (My Lovely)?" comment. 7/10.

🍿

The chase (1946), a second rate Noir by a second rate auteur. With Robert Cummings and Peter Lorre. 1/10.

🍿

The Beguiled, a moody Southern Gothic thriller by Sofia Coppola, about a wounded Union Corporal who was given shelter at a small girls school in Virginia in 1864. My second film about amputation this week (After 'Tristana'!). But the slow melodrama didn't speak to me at all.

🍿

In Ted Gioia's tribute to Tony Bennett, he claims that lounge-lizard Lou Canova is modeled after Bennett, at the lows of his career at that period. I haven't seen Woody Allen's Broadway Danny Rose since 1984. His cinematic personality as the 'nervous Jew' is highly-irritating. But Gordon Willis photography helped give the tight story 100% score on 'Rotten Tomatoes'.

Rip, Tony Bennett!

🍿

Fieldwork Footage is a 1928 short directed by Zora Neale Hurston. She was a central figure of the 'Harlem renaissance', an author and anthropologist and the first African-American female film maker.

🍿

I was sick for a day, so I watched Pineapple Express once again, the best action-stoner comedy ever? Convincing marijuana enthusiast Set Rogen against local mob guy Bill Lumbergh. It's a movie about escalation! Starts with weed jokes and ends with "Prepare to suck the cock of Karma" climax.

🍿

The Quiet American, an adaptation of Graham Greene Foreign Service Saigon thriller, with Michael Caine and Brendan Frazer. The two engage in a ménage à trois over a pretty Vietnamese taxi dancer. This is 1952 when the CIA is just getting into the war there. Cinematography by Christopher Doyle, Wong Kar-wai's usual collaborator. 3/10.

🍿

In the 1960's and 70's, the Montmartre Jazz club on Store Regnegade in Copenhagen was the center of world class jazz in Europe. Many of the greatest names in Jazz played there regularly. Miles Davis, Chet Baker, Ben Webster, Dexter Gordon, Sonny Rollins, Art Blakey, Muddy Waters, Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Getz, and of course the Danish bass player Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen. Blues for Montmartre is a nostalgic 2011 Danish documentary about the place and the people who frequented it. 9/10.

Here is Ben Webster playing Stardust in Montmartre in 1971.

🍿

Related!

That’s my jazz: Pastry chef Milt Abel ll reflects on his relationship with his late father Milton Abel Sr., a legendary Kansas City jazz musician.

Surprisingly, he went to work at Noma, and stayed in Copenhagen to open his own Danish-style bakery!

🍿

Just because I dislike science fiction as a genre, does not mean that I'm not ready to give it another chance every once in awhile (But always to be disappointed!). Gattaca seemed to be different: Dystopian bio-punk about eugenics with Gore Vidal and Ernest Borgnine... But I only lasted 30 minutes inside this shiny, sterile world: Pseudo-intellectual mambo-jumbo, horribly acted.

🍿

Throw-back to the "Art project”:

Adora with Buñuel.

🍿
