[prettyboysdontlookatexplosions]

in the most recent loki ep [don’t judge me! that’s two workouts’ worth of podcasts i can now listen to, minimum!] we get to see snatches of TVA folks in their real timelines and i gotta say the sheer pleasure of owen wilson single dad jetski salesperson + ke huy quan as a self published science fiction author who can’t get the local bookstore to stock his book almost makes this entire dumbass show worth it

#i’ve absorbed too much coverage of joanna robinson’s mcu book to be like #‘why can’t you just do it this good all the time’ #it has become abundantly clear to me that the current sitch over there is like actively inimical to making good shit #but…. man…. that was inspired. on those scenes i truly have to say 100/10 no notes #mcu

What was thanksgiving like for Sam, Blaise, Victor and Margaret

Greetings Anon ^^

Because the Owens siblings have, at this point reconciled , it was a rather pleasant day.

Sure, it felt a bit strange for Sam, to sit with Blaise remaining family on the same table, given that he barely knew them, but, even he had to admit it felt nice, being surrounded by people who were not beating each other up.

Victor held a short speech, saying that he is happy that his siblings , have accepted his invitation and is of course happy to have a guest with them, Victor would go a bit quiet when he says that of course, he wishes Lawrence and their parents could be here, but, that they will be remembered and be there in spirit...and that he is glad, that they are all together again today, ending his speech and starting the dinner.

It was your classical thanksgiving dinner, turkey, mashed potatoes, corn, cranberry sauce, gravy, pumpkin pie etc. etc.

I think Sam talked mostly with Blaise, but also held conversations with Victor, Margaret and Joanna it was nice, at this point they knew him and I think they all also shared a few good laughs, telling jokes but also witty anecdotes of their, or their siblings lives.

All in all, it was a nice day, with Blaise mentioning to Sam that he is always welcome to join him to family gatherings.

Yours sincerely

Bowler

film critics are also completely complicit in this too! when you write these think pieces or articles in the nyt or vulture or vanity fair and are getting hundreds of dollars from disney or warner brothers to write out of your ass, you're the generals leading this culture war.

like. i'm sorry but look at this shit. "Star Wars: The Last Jedi Offers the Harsh Condemnation of Mansplaining We Need in 2017"

That Holdo is kind yet dismissive of Poe only enrages him further. She urges him, for the safety of all concerned, to “stick to your post and follow my orders.” He doesn’t; as a result, many rebels die. Speaking about her character’s stylish-yet-firm leadership, Dern told Vanity Fair: “[Rian is] saying something that’s been a true challenge in feminism. Are we going to lead and be who we are as women in our femininity? Or are we going to dress up in a boy’s clothes to do the boy’s job? I think we’re waking up to what we want feminism to look like.”

One might argue that if Holdo had filled in Poe on her plan—to evade the First Order fleet long enough to get within range of an old base on Crait—Poe would have listened and fallen in line. But to borrow a phrase from Poe himself, this mission was a “need-to-know.” And as soon as a frustrated Holdo and Leia let Poe in on the plan, he blabs about it over the comms to Finn loud enough that Benicio del Toro’s D.J. can hear—and, later, sell them out. If Poe had just listened to Leia and Holdo from the start, the rebel fleet wouldn’t have been quite so decimated by the end of the film. Poe does clearly learn his lesson by the final frames of The Last Jedi—and only then do his admiration for Holdo, his respect for Leia, and his realization of just how much he doesn’t know position him to finally become the leader these powerful women hoped he’d be.

It’s clever for Johnson to have put this story on the very likable Poe. (Both Leia and Holdo are careful to reassure audiences that they, too, like the guy.) We expect dismissive sexism from the First Order (how many times do they refer to Rey as “The Girl?”), but to see it from a friendly face is even more instructive. Any female boss in 2017 or American still nursing the hangover of the 2016 presidential election can tell you that even nice guys often have trouble taking orders from women.

This message—women being largely right, and men being mostly wrong—extends to most but not all aspects of The Last Jedi. Rose Tico was certainly right to insist that Finn stay and fight, and right again to save him when attempts to needlessly sacrifice himself. Rey and Leia were right that Luke should join the resistance. But Luke still has some things to teach his young student. When they fight on the rainy cliffs of Ahch-To over her desperate hope that she can save Ben Solo, Luke is correct in telling Rey that “this is not going to go the way you think.” And in the end, no matter how Poe and Finn may have stumbled—or Holdo, Leia, Rose, and Rey may have triumphed—it’s still Luke Skywalker who gets the film’s big damn hero moment.

why is she making this stupid ass dig about luke skywalker getting a big hero moment? it's one of the few meaningful and interesting things that happens in this movie! "big damn hero moment" is literally a tv tropes phrase that comes from a line from firefly. is she aware that she's making a joss whedon reference lol?

#to the tune of mrs robinson: 'so here's to you joanna robinson. you're a hack and your opinions are gay. oh hey hey hey.'

[quasi-normalcy]

A while ago while I was in tumblr jail, you posted that you had a masters in science fiction literature (unless you didn't, I have been known to be mistaken), and I am wondering, what do you consider 'important' works of science fiction? Like the science fiction literary canon? I am so curious. Feel free to ignore, I will not harass you.

Yes! I do. I can tell you the ones that I was assigned (I'm afraid that the list skews extremely male and (especially) white).

Mary Shelley, Frankenstein (1818)

Olaf Stapledon, Last and First Men (1930) and Star Maker (1937) [You can probably add Odd John (1935) to this list]

Jules Verne, Journey to the Centre of the Earth (1864) and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1870) [You can probably add From the Earth to the Moon (1865)]

H.G. Wells, The Time Machine (1895) and War of the Worlds (1897) [Though you can probably go ahead and add The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896), The Invisible Man (1897) and The First Men in the Moon (1901)]

Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Herland (1915)

Catherine Burdekin (writing as Murray Constantine), Swastika Night (1937)

Karel Čapek, R.U.R. (1920)

Isaac Asimov, I, Robot (1950) [You can probably add the first three Foundation novels here as well]

Yevgeny Zamyatin, We (1921)

George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949)

Arthur C. Clarke, 2001: A Space Odyssey (1967) and Rendezvous with Rama (1973) [Add: Childhood's End (1953) and The Fountains of Paradise (1979)

John Wyndham, Day of the Triffids (1951) [add: The Chrysalids (1955) and The Midwich Cuckoos (1957)]

H.P. Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu" (1926) [add The Shadow over Innsmouth (1931)]

Richard Matheson, I Am Legend (1954)

Alfred Bester, The Stars My Destination (1956)

Robert Heinlein, Starship Troopers (1959) [Probably Stranger in a Strange Land (1961) and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (1966) too, depending on, you know, how much of Heinlein's bullshit you can take]

J.G. Ballard, The Drowned World (1962) [Also, The Burning World (1964) and The Crystal World (1966)]

Phillip K. Dick, The Man in the High Castle (1962) [Also Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (1968) and several of his short stories]

Frank Herbert, Dune (1965)

Michael Moorcock, Behold the Man (1969)

Ursula Le Guin, The Dispossessed (1974) [Also The Lathe of Heaven (1971) and The Left Hand of Darkness (1969)]

Brian Aldiss, Supertoys series

William Gibson, Neuromancer (1984)

Kim Stanley Robinson, Red Mars (1992) [Also Green Mars and Blue Mars]

They also included Iain M. Banks's The Algebraist (2004), but I personally think you'd be better off reading some of his Culture novels

Other ones that I might add (not necessarily my favourite, just what I would consider the most influential):

Joe Haldeman, The Forever War (1974)

Matsamune Shiro, Ghost in the Shell (1989-91)

[panelshowsource]

Who would you like to see on BFQOTY that has never made an appearance before?

okay i always take these kinds of asks too seriously but pls bare with me!!

when it comes to panel shows there is a spectrum of preparation: on the far left is a show like mock the week, where literally everything apart from a very smol amount of relevant banter is pre-prepared by the panel (they're given the news stories & scenes we'd like to see ahead of time, the standup categories are chosen around their pre-written bits, and so on); and on the other end of that spectrum is a show like big fat quiz, where the only thing you really prepare is potentially a team name. so — to answer this question i'm thinking about people who are very willing and very good at joining in, people who will comfortably banter with jimmy, people who don't always wait their turn to speak (which works better on a show like, say, 8 out of 10 cats). obviously jimmy throws to each team whilst the teams' answers are being revealed, but for the show to really succeed you need a lot more chat and goofing around and camaraderie than that — so who are some of these confident, friendly, funny people?

well let's get this out of the way we need victoria on bfq right? it helps a lot she's irl pals with jimmy so their dynamic is very comfy and she would probably have so much to say about the news or even admonishing the amount of tiktok-related questions LMAO it's great to imagine her with david but also what about team victoria and lee mack?? THE PEOPLE NEED TO SEE IT

nicola coughlan, graham norton, alan cumming, catherine tate (omg catherine and lee...please GOD...), huge davies, get me a doctor let's go jodie whittaker baybay or our man ncuti, would love to see some drag queens like miss lawrence chaney and the viv of course but there are sooo many amazing uk drag stars, kathy burke, ed gamble, morgana robinson, maggie aderin-pocock

get me my man. joe wilkinson. put him with roisin and one white onion

fuck it go big or go home: jennifer saunders and joanna lumley, fry and laurie(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), tennant and sheen (or tennant and tennant frankly georgia ily), the mighty boosh???

wildcard answer jordan north and william hanson? is that just me? i know jordan has done celeb juice a few times and he was great but i also know in my soul william would be fucking good on a panel show, and their friendship is too sweet

cheating but i'd love to see guz khan back on but with a different partner? i fockin love sarah but strategically speaking for lulz imo that year i think it should have ben judi & guz and sarah & jonathan. i understand wanting to change it up and give us new kinds of teams but i don't think those were the people to do it with. also bring back charlie brooker i have charlie brooker withdrawals........ (charlie on wilty in a couple weeks!!! ahhh!!!)

i'd love to see so many people!!! okay i am done with the longest response ever (do you guys ever read these like 'girl just answer the question')! what about you?? who do you want?

What I loved about WWDITS S5 Episode 5 (SPOILERS!!!):

“De Laurentis”

“In that house just over there. With my friends. ‘It’s fun”

“Which I do for my mental health as well as my physical health”

“Not since the great flood in 1892, Joanna. That was a big boy”

Nandor’s having so many gray lines and I’m not even 2 minutes in yet

*Steals mic* “because 1892 was a year that was not in my, uh, human lifespan, but 1992 definitely was” he’s killing me

Nandor whining and running away

“Oh shitty shit I fucked it”

“Shot shit shot shit shit shit shit”

The Guide going on TV

Sean screaming being overheard by the news people

“If they don’t go it’ll just be you and I, into the night”

Nandor getting in the bag

Nandor having tried the second bag

The fact that Guillermo constantly has the same conversation with his mom because he doesn’t want to say goodbye

The fact that Nadja dyed the doll’s hair too

Laszlo and Nadja’s teary goodbye

The Guide dying her hair with Nadja

Nandor trying to bring everyone together

Colin Robinson accidentally trapping himself

Nandor throwing the knife to cut him down

“We can survive quite easily without you” he’s so upset Guillermo wasn’t there but that was so uncalled for

Nandor not understanding why Guillermo wanted to leave after that

Do you have an recommendations for YT channels that do Loki recaps/reviews/breakdowns? I watch New Rockstars and just started Heavy Spoilers since I found out that is where MT is now, but some of these others that are popping up don't seems as well done? Like they are just siphoning off info from the 2 I mentioned. I figured if anyone would know the best ones, it would be you.

Jessica Clemons is on the Ringer channel now, so try that. Here's her Loki trailer breakdown. You have to sort through a lot of football videos, though.

Also, Brandon Davis et al are doing breakdowns/reactions on the Phase Zero channel. https://www.youtube.com/@PhaseZero

Ryan Arey on ScreenCrush, but there is definitely some crossover there. https://www.youtube.com/@ScreenCrush

Finally, Joanna Robinson and Mallory Rubin's House of R podcast. They just had a 2-hr tribute to Loki and Tom earlier this week, and will be doing breakdowns. https://open.spotify.com/show/4GyqecnSWZxUGNEUqJNNT7?si=20c631f55cc1482d

[prettyboysdontlookatexplosions]

joanna robinson on the prestige tv podcast said "often when we talk about wanting them to escape people will come back and say, like, but they're horrible people, why are you rooting for them? and i'm like, i'm not rooting for them. i'm rooting for the idea that the poison doesn't have to drip through. that there is some choice you can make or some freedom you can have in all of this if you realize it in time." and i was very struck by that as a very lovely articulation of a disconnect that exists in the ways people talk not just about succession but about all kinds of fiction, and as something i certainly relate to a lot. and to be clear i don't think when she says she's rooting for that that she means that's what she thinks the show should do or that the show going elsewhere (which is where it's going) would be a flaw or a mistake. like i am not, in fact, rooting for this the way people root for sports teams (probably. i was born missing the brain cells that allow a person to root for a sports team so i am hypothesizing here). it's about, like, this is the empathic desire that this narrative (succession and also other things) stirs in me, it touches on a particular part of my own humanity that is inescapably animated by this impulse. it has nothing to do with what i think should happen artistically or how i would analyze the show morally if i wanted to (which i don't, because it's Pretend), but it's not right to say that it's separate, either - part of the pleasure of watching the show is having that part of myself activated, and part of the pleasure is also sick vertigo between that desire and the moments where i do react viscerally to the characters' monstrosity, and part of the pleasure is also the friction, increasing by the minute this particular season, between that hope and its gradual decimation onscreen. but like, yeah, i do care about my pretend children the roy sibs, because they are pretend and i don't have to weight caring about them against anything else on earth, but also because since they are pretend, the reason to care about them is because they connect me to something i have emotions about, which is, well, several things, but the one i'm thinking about in this post is the idea that maybe the poison doesn't have to drip through, or to mix sources for metaphors that there are ways to close the portal. and, like, i don't think that's where the show's going, but the places it's gone and the place it's going are only interesting to me because of the tension they create with that wish. if it weren't for that, i... would probably not find the show interesting enough to watch, and if i did i certainly wouldn't be so motherfucking obsessed with it! lmao.

How did Blaise, Victor and Joanna felt when their parents died?

(TW:Death mention, TW: Death, TW:Alcoholism, TW: Medication abuse)

Greetings Anon

Before I describe their feeling and emotions, I would like to say that the Owens siblings, said goodbye to their parents separately and not together. Both, at their deathbeds, and at the funeral. With Joanna being the first, Blaise in the middle and lastly Victor. ~~~

It hurt a lot for Joanna, she tried her best to get her father and her mother out of the holes of despair both fell into when Lawrence died, but no matter how hard she tried to support them, nothing helped, at first she had to see her father pass away and then her mother, with both of their deaths hurting so much.

She cried a lot, it was really hard for Joanna not to give up after both of her parents had passed away, but, her job as a doctor helped her regaining her spirit, the people needed her, and she would be there for them, even if she was grieving.

~~~

Blaise was maybe not as much shocked as when Lawrence died, but of course they were distraught about the deaths of their parents. Unlike Lawrence, they noticed how their parents were not doing well, but even when they talked with them, or tried to convince them that their way of coping with the situation, was harmful to them, it did not help. The deaths of their parents were in a way, unexpected for Blaise, when they got the message that their father died, they could not believe it, Lewis more or less accidentally drinking himself to death and later Eliza who died from the results of an, again, more or less accidental medicinally overdose, even if they were doing worse with each passing day, it still felt so suddenly for Blaise, when first their father and then their mother died.

Similar to Lawrence's funeral, they smoked at their parents, this time non-filter cigarillos.

~~~ Although he did not admit it for a long time, Victor was probably of the three, the one who was the most affected by how his parents passed away, especially because how close to each other they died.

Because Victor came to the realization, that from the perspective of relatives, he was now alone.

His father and his mother were the only ones who still had contact with him, who, despite their own pain and sorrow, supported him in their own ways, welcoming him when he visited them.

And now they were gone, both of them, and, again, from the perspective of relatives, he was now completely alone.

Maybe that was the point, were Victor Owens finally acknowledged, that he was a terrible sibling, and that maybe if he would have been a better brother, all of this would not have happened.

Margeret never saw her husband being sad before, but on the anniversaries days of Lewis and Eliza's death, the first ones Margaret was present after having married Victor, she saw him cry, even wail in sorrow.

Yours sincerely

Bowler

i read so many great books this year!

for fiction, I loved Stephen King's Fairy Tale and Ann Patchett's Tom Lake. These were the first books I read by both authors. Cried reading The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese. Honorary mention to Galileo's Dream by Kim Stanley Robinson

I can't forget Ferrante's Neapolitan Novels (soo good it deserves a bullet point of its own). I feel this is my first "adult", contemporary novel

learned a lot about applied ethics from: strangers drowning by larissa macfarquahar, my gita by devdutt pattanaik, the universal christ by richard rohr

for nonfiction, I also read Nussbaum's Justice For Animals. Shout out to Katherine Rundell for introducing me to John Dunne's poetry in Super Infinite and Joanna Biggs for introducing me to Ferrante, Hurston, Eliot et all in her A Life of One's Own

I'm not sure if you're aware of this book, Ben. It's an unauthorized look at Marvel Studios rise to power in Hollywood, of which you have played a part in.

I honestly have no idea what information this book contains, but I HOPE it talks about you and the "issues" you've been having with your "loving" wife (like her disrupting the shoot for DS1 while on location. We all know it happened, Ben. We all know it). If it becomes mainstream knowledge your wife is a self-absorbed leech whose's been sucking the life (and money) out of you than maybe, it might be the push you need to shake you out of your apathy. Because let's face it, it's not it's a well-kept secret in tinsel town, either.

At least I pray it does. You still have time to get out, Ben. And I want to believe you still can.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Relevant quotes: "But some internal sources suggest Alonso was a scapegoat and point to the “She-Hulk” VFX issues as a symptom of a deeper rot — namely a lack of oversight on script development. In the original arc of “She-Hulk,” a flashback of star Tatiana Maslany’s transformation into her Hulk character didn’t take place until Episode 8, the penultimate episode. But after Marvel’s brain trust watched footage, it realized the scene needed to happen in the pilot episode so that audiences could see more of the character’s backstory early. That meant that the VFX team was tasked with fixing the mess in postproduction.

“The so-called bad VFX we see was because of half-baked scripts,” says one person involved with “She-Hulk.” “That is not Victoria. That is Kevin. And even above Kevin. Those issues should be addressed in preproduction. The timeline is not allowing the Marvel executives to sit with the material.”

All the while, Marvel was bleeding money, with a single episode of “She-Hulk” costing some $25 million, dwarfing the budget of a final-season episode of HBO’s “Game of Thrones, ” but without a similar Zeitgeist bang. The August 2022 series premiere at the El Capitan Theatre foreshadowed what was to come six months later at the “Quantumania” bow: the “She-Hulk” special effects were out of focus in multiple scenes.

There are signs that the flood of product is leading people to tune out. “I’m not prepared to call it a permanent fall. But based on the numbers that go with Marvel podcasts, Marvel-based articles, friends who do Marvel-based video coverage, all of these numbers are significantly down,” says Joanna Robinson, co-author of the New York Times bestseller “MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios,” who is a writer and podcaster at The Ringer. “The quality is suffering. In 2019, at the peak, if you put ‘Marvel Studios’ in front of something, people were like, ‘Oh, that brand means quality.’ That association is no longer the case because there have been so many projects that felt half-baked and undercooked.”
