BW Media Spotlight's Sing Me A Story heads to Texas to understand The "El Paso" Trilogy
It’s amazing the things I’ve learned just from researching this article series. Maybe it’s because I started Sing Me A Story I never really thought about music as storyteller, just something to dance to or have on in the background, usually the latter. Since that time I’ve seen country songs based on Norse mythology, bouncy tunes about serial killers inspired by a ballad opera, and learned that…
this is what kills me about black orpheus (1959, dir. camus) actually. because orfeu is familiar with the story of orpheus and eurydice. early on someone even makes a joke like "your name's orpheus? where's your eurydice?" he knows the story and he knows what it means to be orpheus. and then at the pivotal moment he looks anyway because after all he's orpheus and he can't not.

LOOK AT THEM THEY WERE SUCH LOAFLY AND AND
LOOK AT THEM THE WHOLE TIME IN THIS SCENE EVERYTIME HE LOOKS AT BETTY ITS WITH LOAFLY GOO GOO EYES LIKE A BUG FLIES ON HER FACE AND THIS IS HIS REACTION
THEY DONT EVEN NEED TO KISS CAUSE THE THOUGHT OF IT IS SUCH LOAFLY TO THEM; ALL THEY WANNA DO IS HUG EACH OTHER, HOLD EACH OTHER BECAUSE THEY FOUND EACH OTHER AND IF YOUR TELLING ME THIS ISNT THE CUTEST LOAFEST SHIT IN THE WORLD YOUR A LIAR
LOOK AT THIS LAST MEMORY BEFORE HE WENT TO PUT THE CROWN ON AND KNEW HE WOULDNT COME BACK FROM IT LOOK AT HOW PRETTY SHE IS
I don't think he's remembering this point exactly I think he's remembering how pretty she looked in the car to him and her saying "goodbye Simon" was from some other point in his life when he lost her (the golb incident) because he knew he'd technically be dead if he changed to ice king
BUT I DONT GIVE TWO SHITS OR TWO FUCKS WHATEVER PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE TWO THEY ARE SUCH LOAFLY AND SO IN LOAF THAT A KISS WOULDNT DO EM THE JUSTICE THEY NEED LIKE SUCH LOAFLY SO SAD
BW Media Spotlight's Sing Me A Story risks the Beatles fans by writing the eulogy for Eleanor Rigby
One of the running themes on this site is that I don’t have to enjoy something to see it as a good work on its own. It just be something I don’t want to watch, play, read, or listen to. “Eleanor Rigby”, off the 1966 Revolver album, is one of those songs. Yes, even the Beatles aren’t perfect. Heresy, I know, but apparently the song may have a bit of it’s own heresy, which I’ll happily blame on…
i know this is A Reach and possibly nitpicky but i think the prettification of the hunger games movies can be seen even in the small matter of katniss's hairstyle. what's described as a simple and practical braid in the books is now a fancy diagonal over-the-shoulder dutch braid in the movies (a braid that is neither functional when the purpose is to get your long hair out of the way, nor very quick/easy to do on yourself), and added to that is the fact that katniss has bangs, once again something that is very impractical when you consider that katniss hunts for a living and those loose hairs would not only be visually obstructive but would also get caught in the bowstring and yanked like hell every time she shoots. in the training sequence of catching fire you can literally see that the bangs are in her eyes. there's a reason olympic archers always have their hair tied up and tucked out of the way. if she were to have a dutch/french braid, the point of that would literally BE to get those shorter hairs out of the way. but since this is a hollywood movie of course they have to make their star have pretty hair that frames her face just so
“I’m out of wine and flowers, so I hope an introduction will suffice,” his blood-red eyes meet hers, and something in her gut twists. As if she already knows. As if she’s just realized that she’s missed the obvious. “My name is Astarion. I was in Balder’s Gate when-”
Astarion. Save Astarion. Astarion.
All the breath leaves her lungs as she interrupts, “You’re Astarion?”
