Pop quiz, hotshot. There's a bomb on a bus. Once the bus goes 50 miles an hour, the bomb is armed. If it drops below 50, it blows up. What do you do? What do you do?

[feydfuckernation]

Okay, I just got back from seeing Dune part 2. Feyd-Rautha is a bald, murderous, cunning, cannibalistic, raspy-voiced sociopath who would probably kill me as soon as he'd look at me.

...So why the hell do I want him so badly lol?!

its gonna take more than a three hour bald cap to deter ME #feydfuckernation

in all honesty tho he is GENUINELY captivating. feyd is already such an interesting character in his own right because of how he's set up as both a mirror to paul and potential alternative (in the eyes of the bene gesserit). it's no surprise that a good villain is just as if not more memorable than the hero sometimes, especially when you have an actor like austin AND a director like dennis who can take an already incredibly rich source material and make magic like that onscreen. feyd is regularly touted as a murderous sociopath but he's portrayed in a way that feels more fully realized than just "look at me i'm a psychopath and i'm cRAZYYYY" (ex: resident dead horse jared leto joker). villains tend to offer something forbidden, a way for us to examine the more unsavory aspects of the human condition within the confines of fiction. austin plays feyd rautha the way anthony hopkins plays hannibal lecter; there is something oddly charismatic and captivating at work in his performance that we simply cannot help but be drawn in.

#once i've seen dune a few more times i'll probably have more to say about this tbh #films like dune have sooo many layers to them that i thoroughly enjoy looking for on a rewatch #it's why succession is one of my favourite shows #answered #arianatheangel-girl #feydposting #feyd rautha harkonnen #dune #dune part two

ELI WALLACH as SILVA VACARRO in Baby Doll (1956), dir. Elia Kazan

I believe in the presence of evil spirits. Spirits of violence and cunning, malevolence, cruelty, treachery, destruction. The evil spirits that haunt the human heart and take possession of it and spread from one human heart to another human heart, the way a fire goes springing from leaf to leaf and branch to branch in a tree, till the forest is all aflame with it.

you and every other white lesbian got a problem with the handmaiden

u know its based on a book written by a white lesbian silly... fwiw bc of my deep repulsion towards hollywood like 90% of the films i watch and love are produced by non-white people outside of the US/UK. i think white women have produced plenty of lesbian films i find just as uncompelling mostly because I just don't identify with fem4fem lesbian couples but also because the whole sensibilities surrounding visual representations of lesbian couples generally not played or directed by lesbians and not with an audience of lesbians primarily in mind are inherently limiting of the things i personally find compelling (masculine women). I didn't say it was a BAD film either, although I would be within my rights to not like a film if I didn't like it. i said i did not personally find it compelling: i was comparing two sarah waters books, tipping the velvet (in which the protagonist is a male impersonator) and fingersmith (which the handmaiden is based on) in terms purely of how sexy they are. i assume you're assuming i was repeating the claims of others than the handmaiden is bad because of the 'male gaze' but whilst i was not doing that & am not interested in weighing in, i think it's just a weird choice and insulting to everyone to act like the ways a man of colour depicts female characters and desire between women is immune to criticism or something. like i said the problem for me is that i don't see myself in depictions of relationships between feminine women but if the problem was that i don't see myself in depictions of relationships between women which were directed by men i would be entitled to that opinion too. and i mean i don't even really think the handmaiden is intended as a depiction of lesbian love with which lesbians are supposed to actually identify, in the way that say tipping the velvet is largely written to be a story for (butch and femme) lesbians to see ourselves in, and i think there's soooo many other (more) valid aims for a story to have and i generally don't watch/read things with the primary goal of seeing myself in them. the handmaiden is not a bad film. i don't find it sexy because i don't find feminine women sexy. what was the point of any of this.

#ask #anon #cant stress enough that this is not a commentary on the quality of the handmaiden as a film #its been a while since ive seen it. i just dont find it sexy. #this is just a pointless pot to be stirring..on whose behalf is this?? #at the end of the day im really unwell about masculine women if either of them got in drag it would probably be my favourite film #i love zero chou's drifting flowers because it has masculine women in like its literally very easy to please me #also didnt bother to watch the tipping the velvet adaptations #because i think visual media tends to be more restricted and generally like worse at doing gender nonconformity like the jump from a lesbia #writing a book on a low budget to a whole team makign a show on a high one is also not usually great for gnc-osity

[angelamontoo]

Finally, Joel Cairo and Sam Spade from The Maltese falcon

These guys have been my otp since I first saw that damn film and my enjoyment of them has only gotten stronger. I should really be weird about them more often

#the maltese falcon #joel cairo #sam spade #ren and stimpy #ren hoek #stimpson j cat #sorry for using a nonpeter character for one of the cherubs in this one #i just thought cupid ren shooting cupid stimpy through the nose with an arrow was a fun idea #my art #spairo #i feel like cairo came out kinda strange #im pleased with his outfit though #its based on how he looks in the tmf japanese poster which is probably my favourite poster for the film #valentines day

[thedreadpiratebonnet]

Seriously, though, I’ve watched a lot of rom coms of varying quality (mostly hetero, but my fair share of queer ones too) and, while I maaaaybe wouldn’t put RWRB in the top tier of what I’ve seen, it’s a really fucking good solid rom com imho

I don’t know, maybe I’m just easily pleased and too tired to be more objective about media these days, but you know what? I was very bloody pleased!!

And, like, for me I need a rom com to be rewatchable and for the leads to sell me on the romance and to come out smiling and RWRB did all of that and maybe it could have done more but, right now, I’m happy (okay, I don’t know that it’s rewatchable yet but I have a sneaking suspicion that it will be and I’m dying to watch it again)

Plus, I looked at my list of all the queer films I’ve seen and I counted maybe 20 rom coms out of 600+ movies (tbf some of those are only on there for one character though)—and, yeah, some of those other movies are romances with happy endings, but unabashed queer rom coms are still rare and I’m so happy to see a movie like this!!

(This isn’t meant to make anyone feel bad for not liking it or for feeling conflicted I just can’t stop thinking about it and need to get more of my feelings out and go do things that are not thinking about this movie lol)

#RWRB movie #red white and royal blue #RWRB #sorry I just can’t stop thinking about it!!! #like my top tier (if I can include precursors to what we think of as the modern rom com) would be like Preston Sturges’ films and… #bringing up baby and when Harry met Sally #even Bridget Jones which is one of my all time favourite movies is probably not TOP tier you know? #anyway I’m not making sense lmao #more rambling

The Great Glass Elevator, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (the ride). 

#alton towers #the film played on the elevator actually made it online some 10 years ago... in 240p. #there's a website in desc but it's defunct and the wayback machine captures are bugged. #I found a possible source / mirror but the files are viewable through flash (nope) or a download linked (password protected). #I reached out but the site is owned by a group of people and im not counting on the person(s) responsible being active a decade on. #I was wondering if anyone had any ideas...? It'd really be a shame for this to be lost to time. #it was one of my favourite parts when i was younger. it would probably still be if i had the chance to ride it.

[daxite]

god i am unrealistically excited for the fnaf movie

#dax rambles #it just looks like such a good time and the animatronics and sets are fucking incredible #even if the movie ends up being not that good visually it looks fantastic and super impressive #i wasn't even this excited for spiderverse 2 and the first movie is one of my favourite films of all time lol #like fnaf isn't even one of my big autisms but it does have a special place in my heart even though i was a very casual fan back when it #first released lmao #i think sonic 2 was the last time i was this excited for a movie probably lol

[expectopaatronum]

I LIKE MOVIE MUSICAL ADAPTATIONS AND I DON’T SEE WHAT THE BIG DEAL IS

#speaking my truth #like when it’s in a film format singing voices aren’t the be all and end all of casting imo #i like the poto movie and i probably wouldn’t have seen the show or at least have been as enthused if i hadn’t grown up watching the movie #honestly……. i probably like the movie more than the 25th anniversary concert #(gunshot) #((i’ve seen the musical 3 times i love the musical so much it’s one of my favourite shows to see)) #i just think they’re two different mediums and i enjoy them both in different way #like same with the les mis adaptation #((apart from russel crowe’s casting like yeah i’ll agree with you there) #but eddie redmayne gives a more emotional performance than any marius i’ve seen on stage #((again i’ve seen les mis like 6 times)) #idk like musical theatre puritans annoy me sometimes #like obviously a movie adaption is gonna be different to the musical ????? pls get over it #just enjoy it idk

[youssefguedira]

One of the fan casts I’ve seen a lot is Hunter Schafer as Zelda. Thoughts?

image for reference because i had to google who hunter schafer was

i could back it? she'd definitely be able to pull off like. oot or twilight princess zelda (by looks alone i haven't seen her act) really depends on what they're doing story wise. but ultimately i don't particularly care what the actor looks like as long as they are believably link or zelda to me and i just. don't think the kind of "major hollywood actors" that people toss around when talking about it could really have that effect because they're too recognisable? if that makes any sense. also a bit of a tangent but i don't know if i WANT the zelda movie to adapt an existing game or a new one, though if i had ti guess it'll adapt something connected to botw/totk and that timeline if it is in any way tied to a game because nintendo is generally trying to move away from the 'traditional' zeldas so to speak

for context this is the hypothetical cast in the article i was reading earlier:

like i respect timothee but i think seeing him as link would just make me laugh. he's a perfectly good actor i just don't vibe with this. mr. holland. can we be serious here. respect the inclusion of dev patel and steven yeun but i think this would only work in a post-oot movie that was a tragic retelling of what happens to the hero of time / an exploration of the effect of All That. which won't happen but i think they could pull it off. we're very much dependent on how old link and zelda will be but if i HAD to pick from this list i'd say aramis knight (in ms marvel) because he's not as immediately recognisable and also he's around the right age for Link That Lives In My Head

moving to the zeldas. florence pugh are you KIDDING me. again i respect her i think ms pugh is very talented. but i don't think i'd want her to play zelda. ultimately it comes down to the fact that link and zelda are almost always teenagers and i want the movie to lean into that. especially because AGAIN this won't happen but i would like an examination of the impact of being declared Saviour Of The Entire World at approximately 12-17 years old. though i guess this could also work with an adult link and zelda but that would lean towards more of a drama than a Big Action Fantasy which is what this will be. zendaya again can we be serious i don't think this would work. personally i'd go w/ kathryn newton or stephanie hsu on this list tbh. or hunter schafer i think she'd be a pretty good choice on vibes alone but ive never seen her in anything (euphoria?)

the article also included these as cast possibilities for minor characters and when i tell you some of them made me choke on my water

i respect natasha lyonne as navi because that could be funny. the others are just. really. something

sorry this answer was super long and also not coherent i should inform you that i am running on approximately 2hrs sleep today. so. but if anyone wants to further discuss zelda PLEASE do i am going through a mini phase rn

also as a second tangent. my ideal zelda plots:

skyward sword zelda during her time on the surface because you could have some REALLY good conflict between her goddess side and her human side and the way she slowly realises she has to manipulate link

zelda becoming sheik in oot!!

my roommate pointed it out the other day but i haven't been able to stop thinking about it since: majora's mask stop motion movie in the style of gdt's pinocchio. directed of course by mr Fucked Up Fairytale del toro himself

#imagine with me. deku link animated the same way #the last one is my favourite zelda movie concept. bc i think gdt would nail the tone and themes of majora's mask #neon answers #anonymous #ive been zelda posting a lot today because i Miss. my zeldas #fi would be weird to cast id prefer it if she was just. animated #like id prefer if the whole movie was animated but #also i don't think fi will appear beyond references if i'm completely honest. same thing with botw/totk #jeff goldblum tingle. imagine this for a moment #he COULD pull off twilight princess tingle tbh #i think if i wanted them to adapt a game skyward sword's got the strongest story for me #we've got emotional intrigue. a good starting point for the introduction of Iconic Things. wouldn't be any zora or anything but #also i LIKE skord and i want to see link cry when zelda seals herself away on my cinema screen #+ i think there's potential for further exploring zelda's side bc you couldn't just. film the dungeons #i think in terms of making a movie botw/totk will lend themselves best to 1:1 transfer #even if they don't really Have a story and the calamity storyline has already been done. the 4 dungeons would cut down Link Running Errands #i just don't think a game can be adapted because you'd essentially lose a lot of the plot points due to runtime #so i think it'll be original. probably something to establish the botw / totk timeline fully so nintendo can stop worrying about the other #games etc. sorry that was me being cynical but. anyway this has been a lot of rambling #again. 2hrs sleep. but feel free to drop more asks my way i love talking about zelda #zeltik has a video rn abt the potential for mocap/heavily cgi zelda movie and like. sigh #i WANT something like the dnd movie with its practical effects i DON'T trust cgi to look that good in current conditions #there's exceptions but are they really gonna make that much of an exception for the zelda movue

Have you ever come across the book The Wizard of Willoughby Wallow? It was one of my favorites as a child.

I hadn't so I went to find it online! It's adorable I kind of want a copy for myself now. The language reads aloud so nicely, the art is charming and shows emotions well, it's silly but still has a good message... what a wonderful little book! Thanks for the rec, anon. For anyone else who's curious:

The Wizard of Wallaby Wallow (1971)

Story and Art: Jack Kent

#normally i don't like to make posts from a digital source i like to actually take the pictures myself #but it was too cute not to acknowledge #LOOK at that art #in fact it looked really familiar so i had to dig through his publication info and i figured out WHY #jack kent illustrated my favourite version of the emperor's new clothes - which i read ALL the time as a kid #i bet i even still have that one shoved in a box somewhere... if it didn't get demolished..... hm..... #1970s #70s #jack kent #the wizard of wallaby wallow #picture books #book talk #anon #oh and i know the name is a little different anon but i'm assuming this is the correct book it seems like an easy mistake to make #probably because the willoughbys is a kids novel that got talked about a lot recently since netflix had made a film of it

i have to rewatch spongebob the musical
