I, Tonya
I watched this movie and was left amazed by it. I, Tonya is based on the true story of Tonya Harding, the first woman figure skater to do a triple axel, and her connection to an attack on her rival Nancy Kerrigan. The movie stars Margot Robbie as Tonya, Sebastian Stan as Jeff Gillooly, Tonya’s ex husband and Allison Janney as Lavona Fay Golden, Tonya’s mother.
I would first like to talk about…

What are the scenes/sequences that have really impacted you on shows/movies? It can be anything that might have blown you away, like an epic and large-scale scene, something with phenomenal acting, a strong text, monologues, montages or even something simple and ordinary but that for some reason stuck with you. P.S. If it's going to exceed Tumblr limits, you don't need to write a full breakdown, you can just list them. :)
Haha it's not the text that exceeds Tumblr limits, it's the gifs ;)
I'll start with links to videos no one watches, but there are only five, so.
This isn't the actual scene I have in mind but it'll work because Lovers Rock in general moved me in a way that only one other thing - a play - did because it captures a very Jamaican/Caribbean diaspora experience and I'm not British and this takes place in the 80s and I wasn't alive then, but there is a lot of crossover between the diaspora in Canada and the diaspora in England so when I watched Lovers Rock, I felt seen, like seen in a way American content can't do for me.
Viola Davis' monologue in Fences is self-explanatory. This is acting.
So, I didn't get the fuss over Sebastian Stan for a very long time. I'd seen him in Gossip Girl and OUAT and whatever Marvel movies I'd watched and was like, he's just a guy. Then I saw I, Tonya. And I was like, Oh! He's an actor. And it was also the movie I realized that Margot Robbie was versatile and I had seen her in, like, five different things before this and thought it was a different person each time. So, this scene has stuck with me.
Unfortunately, there isn't a video yet that just has all of the siblings reacting to Logan's death but this was just a master class in acting
I have said repeatedly that I wish I'd written this movie (yes, it's a remake), this scene is just great, great dialogue that they both handled really well and Tom Hanks did a great job being such a dick. This movie got my blood pressure up as a CHILD.
The rest will be in gifs and these scenes impacted me for a variety of reasons, some just an emotional impact, some I found visually stunning, some are about the script, some are about theme but all require more context than the gif
OK I just have to say, when I tell you, as a kid, I thought this was the MEANEST thing you could say to someone because of Cher's reaction. I fucking love this movie.
I seemed to have focused mostly on movies in this post. Maybe I'll do TV in another if there's interest.

I don’t even know where to begin...
First, the trailer for Dumb Money and Sebastian Stan’s whole look in that. https://twitter.com/lizzie922/status/1671903759553757185?s=46&t=tvFaBZgp1AAR_5OnzGIGdg
Second, I woke up to see he went to Paris Fashion Week. I don’t even know what to send to you since there’s so much content but I’ll try to narrow it down... https://www.instagram.com/reel/Ct3vehft49D/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

He sat next to Cousin Greg and Logan Roy at the fashion show.

one of my favourite things to do when asked for my top three films by those film snobs is to make my last film a complete curved ball like:
- I, Tonya
- Knives Out
And then something like Garfield or Lion King 2
It makes the film snobs go crazy and then when I say it with a serious face and pretend I don’t understand why they’re outraged, it riles them up more
