officially decided that anyone who tries to divide the lgbt community is a fed. i dont care if you’re not actually a fed, if you’re causing infighting in a minority community then you’re a fed who just isnt getting paid to be one. either apply for a job at the CIA or shut the fuck up
some people understood this post. some people revealed themselves to be feds
I Love the personification of buildings or boats etc. as entities.
It’s not haunted, the house itself is trying to kill you, and it does so by slowly driving you insane, wearing you down, making you paranoid and restless, until you eventually self destruct.
The titanic herself has a spirit and if you disturb her slumber at the bottom of the sea, she will drag you down and never let you leave. She is host to an entire eco system and hundreds of ghosts- the people that died with her- and if you get too close you become one of them. She’s a guardian and a tyrant, protective and possessive.
A church that thinks it deserves to be worshiped in the same capacity as the god it was built for. Made sentient by the beliefs of those who enter it. Fuelled by the emotions of people; the grief, the happiness, the anger and hopelessness of those who turn to a deity for guidance because they have no where else to go. No one quite realises that the Church is the only thing that can hear them pray.
I truly am obsessed with how Knives Out was like. Hello Daniel Craig, man who has spent the past two decades of his career being alternately beaten up and objectified playing an action hero with no personality. Would you like to please put on a shirt and an incomprehensible vaguely Texan accent and flex your character acting dark comedy muscles as well as your pecs for a while. And he’s like BOY WOULD I and they made a work of art. Also love that they put Chris Evans in sweaters. Get your beefcakes then dress them nice make them soft and give them some bonkers character work to do it’s what cinema needs more of
I love that several people have responded to this with “op I forgive you cause you’re Scottish but that’s not a Texan accent” which is fair thank you I appreciate it but no two people have agreed on what accent it is which is also Absolutely fair and hilarious as a reaction to this film
Cannot stress enough that I do not know what the fuck a foghorn leghorn is but literally a hundred people have said it to me so far so I’m assuming it’s important to, like, Americans
The idea that Foghorn Leghorn,
The Rhode Island rooster from Looney Toons, is one of the Elder Gods of America, is honestly fascinating from a theological and folkloric viewpoint
Pardon me, but he is a LEGHORN, not a RIR. It’s in his NAME. Leghorns are an Italian breed. And yes, he is an elder god.
According to Foghorn’s Tvtropes page:
Presumably, it’s less that Foghorn Leghorn is a Rhode Island Rooster and more that he’s a Rooster who lives in Rhode Island, possibly a Central Virginian Leghorn Rooster living in Rhode Island, though that implies a complicated and interesting life story that took him from Central Virginia all the way to Rhode Island
I would not rely on TV Tropes as an unbiased source. Wikipedia simple says his species is officially “rooster” and mentions a Leghorn being a breed of chicken. TV Tropes probably thinks the Cornflakes chicken is a RIR too.
I am potentially willing to concede he is a “barnyard mix” (cross between breeds) and his father, Harold Leghorn, was a leghorn and his unnamed mother was a RIR or other dark variety.
I love this site.
Sometimes it’s 1:30 am and you own chickens and you’re drinking whiskey in the bath tub and accuracy about iconic fictional chickens is the hill to die on, ok, and that’s why I love Tumblr.
Adam Sandler, magnificent bastard, was not a sentence I ever expected to say but here we are.
Man’s got talent
babe wake up new adam sandler lore just dropped
Huh.
Everyone who works with him talks about what a mensch he is, so, like… that scans.
Adam Sandler is notorious for just..making films to give people money / work / profiles. He doesn’t give a shit. He’ll just slap something together because he knows he’ll get a greenlight, hires a bunch of people for varying reasons and produces a piece of shit but hey, who cares, right? It’s a system game.
So yeah. he totally does this. He turns capitalism and hollywood on themselves to benefit its victims
dracula cinema sins but the counter goes up every time the book does a racism/xenophobia/antisemitism/orientalism
#ok i thought of this as kind of a silly joke #but also its interesting to think about #how in the same way that cinema sins is a shallow and intellectually bankrupt way of looking at stories/tropes #that does a disservice not only to the movies it “analyzes” but also to the concept of media analysis as a whole #simply doing a racism tally on dracula on its own would be a similarly bad way of engaging with the text #as it ignores the role that these instances play both in the story and on its role in history #both as a product of its time and a showcase of the fears held by white victorians #and as a text that continues to be a major influence in vampire tropes/the horror genre as we know it today
