omg okay saltburn mini review:

1. i genuinely do not know what i expected the plot of this to be but it was NOT that and oh my god i LOVED what it ended up being

2. it was NOT as pretentious and obnoxious as i thought it was going to be

3. honestly not as like ✨️scandalous✨️ as everyone made it out to be either

4. could've been even more homoerotic

#there were like 3 scenes that i would call 'scandalous' but even then they really werent that scandalous lol #and the one that EVERYONE and their uncle has been talking about was like. the least shocking of the three #quite funny actually #but omg the TWIST of the third act of this movie — BRILLIANT #and the ending — absolutely ICONIC #but yeah i feel like the trailer made it seem like some dark academia slightly homoerotic story about a bunch of rich people #and like tbh it WAS but only to a degree and it became something else completely #saltburn #mack reacts

neil doing his whole “respect and responsibility” thing as if neil and susan didn’t leave billy to look after max as if neil and susan don’t leave billy to look after max all the time as if neil and susan weren’t three hours late as if neil didn’t call billy a slur as if neil didn’t hit a seventeen year old billy for ‘not looking after’ a thirteen year old who shouldn’t even be his responsibility in the first place

#the way i just hate neil sm #neil hargrove #billy hargrove #susan mayfield #in that specific scene billy did nothing wrong #it’s not debatable #that was not his fault #every time i remember billy said three hours late it’s like ?? that’s actually fucked #the whole situation was so so unfair #like i hate and love that scene because i hate what happens but it’s gotta be one of my favourite scenes because it’s just so good #it’s actually so well portrayed #so well acted #like it’s so accurate and uncomfortable

no explicit romance scene for wyll in the game? fine, i'll do it myself (WIP)

Ajax’s hands wander around Wyll, tugging along the hem of his ill-fitting shirt, fingers slipping beneath the fabric, mapping out the hard planes of his abdomen. A low rumble vibrates within Wyll’s throat, encouraging Ajax to wander further. He finds his way back down to the exposed sliver of skin, one he’d only dreamed of touching. His thumb strokes circles around the tight curls trailing down beneath his breeches, but doesn’t roam beyond the garment.

Wyll pulls away from the kiss, breathless. He leans down onto the crook of Ajax’s neck, catching his breath. Ajax’s other hand squeezes Wyll’s thigh, pulling him closer, and he responds in kind, pushing himself against Ajax. They stay still like this, the sounds of their soft breathing filling the silence in their tent.

Then, Wyll plants a kiss on Ajax’s jugular as he guides Ajax’s hand beneath the fabric of his breeches. Ajax complies, eager, and yet he asks, his voice barely a whisper, “Are you sure?” and Wyll only nods, a soft whine escaping his lips, still pulling Ajax’s wrist down to where he wants him.

#.txt #asdaljshdskdfjhsdkfj #this is literally three paragraphs of nothing. #i jump around with writing my WIPs so this is actually set before the end of act 2. after the durge scene. yeah you know the one #also i know i know i should finish my act 1 drafts first but ummmm consider this: gay sex #anyways these paragraphs are nothing it's just a bunch of groping LMAO #idk where i want this to go im still thinking about the details of how i want them to be t4t tbh -____- wgatever!!!!! #nsft / #bladesmitten #wip

"I love you, Egg and I would very much like to marry you. Just haven't found the courage to ask you"

"So you mean you've just been dithering?"

"Well, yes"

A little gif set to commemorate Jenksel's and my first anniversary of watching this episode. What a wild ride it has been since then!

#three act tragedy #sir charles cartwright #egg lytton gore #martin shaw #kimberley nixon #my gifs #I couldn't tell you how often I've rewatched this scene #and I go 'aww' each time I do! #it's so epic with the music and how tender he is with her #that's how you write proper banter by the way #where they are both teasing each other but neither of them is mean or goes below the belt #they know exactly how much sassing the other one can take #and it's glorious! #soulmates! #they should have married and lived happily ever after and I will die on this hill! #my gorgeous babies!

my favourite moment of Fourth’s acting:

his facial journey after blurting out THE question

bonus: close-up and Gem’s face journey after Tinn blurts out a half-confession

#my school president #fourth nattawat #gemini norawit #i have way too many favourite scenes i have a lot of feelings about #but there's i think three scenes with fourth which are stored in my brain since i finished the show and this might be number one #the perfect embodiment of nervousness - anticipation - and disbelief in that he managed to get that question out #and gem's comedic acting really is superb - sometimes i feel bad about only going on about fourth when he does such a good job

[prideprejudce]

all this hype on Oppenheimer for MONTHS and the actual movie was just kind of…….ehhhh

#im so sad i wanted to love it so much #the manhattan project is such a fascinating historical time and i was pumped to see this #like the acting was 10/10 and the MUSIC was 1000/10 #and of course the cinema and CGI was top notch #but the storyline…….was an absolute mess #changing scenes CONSTANTLY no coherent plot point…. #like are we focusing on the bomb?? the moral implications of the bomb?? how the bomb was built??? #or are we just going to spend three hours arguing if oppenheimer had communist friends or not #scenes between characters lasting one minute before we are launched into a different place/time #oh well….i hope Barbie is better #movies #Oppenheimer #oppenheimer review #oppenheimer spoilers

do you believe Bruce is emotionally abusive? ik fans prioritise physical abuse and ultimately ignore emotional abuse tactics like parentification etc because it’s not “that bad”. I don’t believe Dick ever resents Bruce for letting him be robin (he’s grateful for it) , but in ntt he mostly resents him for being emotionally closed off, and rejecting him as a partner. Bruce worries for his kids safety so he pushes the whole “if you’re not perfect you’re dead” mentality onto Dick which ultimately is harmful to him. He’ll never regret being a hero but the rift between the two isn’t just a “we want different things” scenario but more that they’re incapable of giving the other what they want.

bruce being emotionally closed off from dick is what’s revisionist about that version of canon though. i think bruce can be bad at communicating sometimes esp when he’s deeply pained (like in knightfall, for example) but for the most part he and dick are shown to have great communication for decades before new teen titans and the adjacent post crisis starlin canon starts to rewrite that dynamic into something else entirely. per that version of canon i do believe he’s emotionally abusive but it’s not a version of canon i particularly appreciate bc it requires overriding the dynamic they had previously where they could certainly be prone to disagree at times but bruce was nonetheless willing to have an open and understanding conversation with dick about whatever the disagreement was. even the whole idea that bruce is responsible for dick believing that he has to be perfect or he has to be dead is one that new teen titans cements (or that issue of batman where bruce makes dick quit and jason is introduced thereafter)

i get that it’s easy to take new teen titans as gospel bc it is in essence the textbook source for dick but i think there should be some awareness too of how it twists that relationship between them and not necessarily for the better. i’m not opposed to bruce having faults he has to answer for. i absolutely agree he’s not cognizant enough of the complexes dick develops as a result of wanting to be seen as an equal, and thereby can’t realize the effect it has on dick for him to still be protective and fearful even if it’s ultimately out of goodwill and love. and there’s also the fact that even if he gives dick the space he desires to lead his own life it doesn’t mean he should be hesitant to reach out bc he’s afraid he’ll overstep by doing so, as a parent he should reaffirm his love for dick regularly regardless of knowing he might get some pushback bc dick is growing into his own (again, knightfall is a really superb example of this). but i also think those are tensions you can wholeheartedly explore without rendering bruce into a controlling and abusive figure, and i’m not sure who it benefits to write bruce as such in the long run

some of dick’s problems have to be his own, and he’ll never escape bruce’s shadow if the only source point of issues in his life is his relationship with bruce. that’s something i would actually apply to the robins at large. hardly any of them are allowed to explore problems entirely unique to themselves and i think that’s in large part bc writers simultaneously portray a mildly to explicitly abusive bruce at their leisure while refusing to ever actually address the elephant in the room that is literally of their own creation. a lot of people believe the bruce shouldn’t be an abuser argument is framed entirely as a resistance to bruce’s character assassination and for me i can admit that’s part of it, but a more pertinent part of it should also be the fact that bruce being written as an abuser is what truly chains his children to him forever to the point that they can never grow beyond that abuse bc writers refuse to allow them to. imagine the problems the robins could be addressing individually in their lives if not everything came down to them being fucked up bc that’s the way bruce raised them or failed to thereby. there’s a lot about the robins as individuals that’s deeply interesting and i think it’s not just a disservice to bruce but to them as well to write the relationships this way bc it obscures their own agency and ability to be explored for more than a haunted legacy narrative

#sry this is so very long. please know it is not me venting at you i simply have many thoughts 😭 #but yeah like i think something that gets lost in translation is like. i absolutely do think those portrayals of bruce are abusive #i simply don’t think he should have been portrayed as such to begin with #starlin era bruce is very bewildering for me in all honesty i dislike it deeply #the issue where dick meets jason is one of my least favorite for the way it portrays bruce it feels so out of character for me #considering bruce was more than happy for dick to go off to college or to find his own place with the titans #and even with that famous issue where dick meets bruce after learning jason has died the writing is quite odd to me #i think bruce is very much someone who directs blame and frustration inward as opposed to outward #he’ll let himself get dog walked if he thinks he deserves it. which i think knightfall illustrates fabulously #the beginning of no man’s land as well #what i don’t think he would ever do is lash out at others when he knows the blame lies with himself. bruce is very self critical #so honestly that whole scene in the cave with him and dick. doesn’t exist to me i would literally rewrite it 😭 #and i think it is very significant that wolfman chose to recreate that slap three times if memory serves while every other write in bat #editorial at the time straight up ignored it and acted like it never happened. like idk that plus the way bruce was characterized during #knightfall to me says a lot about how that was not supposed to be the status quo at all #anyway. sorry this has devolved into a whole other rant please do not mind me 😔 #outbox

If i were the writer for the final boss fight in bg3 [which im not] id ensure all companions could be brought in for the fight bc um. It's a fight for all of us and extremely fucking stupid that we cant bring all our teammates in like why can we summon the owlbear cub but not our full fucking team

#also god i wish the end battle was all three of the chosen in one arena does that make sense #like they Are the root cause. why arent we fighting them as they guard the elder brain as a whole why isnt #the end of the fight the killing of all three and the destruction of the brain #why are they so insignificant in comparison to a giant fucking brain #ive also heard that the rallying scene fucking sucks so. God. #''you mean you haveny even gotten there yet?'' i have many opinions and they will no doubt become more complex #as i progress #also i mean. act 2 feels like It for the game and i wish theyd just. kept that energy for the final boss #bg3 spoilers #for my friend #paydja plays baldur's gate

why does ava, the strongest protagonist, not simply eat the other protagonists?

#the things theyre doing to the characters in s6 are interesting bc like #raylan and boyd are sort of held captive by their own arcs #boyd bc no matter what he does hes doomed by fate to failure #and raylan bc no matter what he does he has to follow boyd around #so at this point avas kind of the only one whose decisions are propelling the story in a plot 101 sense #shes acting instead of reacting #to be clear i think all three things going on here are delightful but the only scenes ive been legit intrigued by are avas #im compelled by boyd and raylans nightmare whirlpool of being doomed by fate but im INTRIGUED by ava #idk ive watched 10 eps in 24 hours while working on my halloween costume i got a lot going on #justified

saltburn was such a dumb movie man

#i watched it tonight since i have to stay in the next couple days before i see family for covid protocol reasons and i just #there are like two or three other movies that do this premise better #someone called it the untalented mr. ripley and i would add it's like if a really dumb guy plagiarized parasite #the grave fucking/menstrual sex/bathwater scenes are all designed in a lab to go viral on tiktok and yet are SO TAME #this is a movie for 18 yr olds who watch maybe one new movie a year to go crazy about #anyway yeah it's well shot and acted but the script is contemptible (not that i expected much from someone who wrote promising young woman) #also it's just really funny to me that this cartoonishly evil class parasite is of course sexually deviant like YAWWWN #i hope ms. fennell finds new material

[fleshadept]

i watched this terrible, terrible, horrible movie (green lantern 2011) and cut all of taika’s screentime together so you don’t have to

#three minutes he got three minutes #i cut SOME stuff because it was just useless or bad but #he's sooo pretty in this movie it's an actual fucking travesty #also they literally got up to the scene they put in the trailer (the last one in the video) then showed him one more time #but he didn't even have lines #i cannot explain how much this movie sucks ass #also fun fact afaik this is the only time he's ever done an american accent on a project #THE WAY THE LAST ACTING THING HE DID BEFORE THIS WAS ALAMEIN #LIKE RIGHT BEFORE #WHAT THE HELL MAN #taika waititi

[hyperfixationtimego]

I just watched a chipmunk celebration for the first time ever I think, and can I just say that the concept of theatre kid Simon is SO important to me

#afaik I’ve already counted three instances where he’s made to act #and every single time he ends up being phenomenal #(the three times i’m thinking of are the tour bus scene in meet frankenstein - a chipmunk celebration as I mentioned above - #and in an episode of alvinnn where he gets a bunch of love confessions after performing in the school play (tho tbf I haven’t actually #been able to watch that one yet - I’ve just seen the description) #BUT STILL……….closet gay theatre kid Simon is going to make me go insane I’m so right about it #simon seville #alvin and the chipmunks #aatc
