I walked into Goodwill.

walked out with a pair of genuine Sai

#SO #I was with my mom shopping at goodwill #I’m basically there for emotional support #And #we mostly look at books and CDs #And I’m walking past a shelf #And I’m like #YOOOO #I run up to the sai sitting hooked on the shelf and eagerly picked them out #And to my even bigger surprise #These guys are HEFTY #AND REAL #And I start freaking out and stuttering trying to show my mother #I literally got so hyped that I started drooling #No joke #and my mom looks at me with huge metal things in my hands and is like #??? #and I start yapping #And I put them in the cart after infodumping about these things #And there’s an older couple standing close to me #Giving me a dirty look #I guess they were also looking at them #But they didn’t make any moves sooo #Like I got them first #But they FOLLOWED US #Kind of #i was being paranoid #But if looks could kill #I’d be dead #Also I hate eye contact and these folks out here like a Wild West film

i find how in fics i’ve read recently, writers (who clearly are normal-to-tall height) write in short characters’ povs sooo interesting. interestingly it’s mostly with peridot (rather than steven or amethyst) where shortness is a fixation. they’re constantly reminded of their shortness and “curse this tall world and tall people!!” when in reality short people don’t always think about being short because that’s just how they live.

#the reason i’m only calling out fics and not published works #is because published works just don’t have short people povs at all LOLLLL #well i mean there probably are if i look for them #but i’m no literary nut so i’ve found none #anyways in fics it’s clear the writing is in the perspective of a tall person #bc it makes me think of a video i saw that was like ‘this is the pov of a short person’ #and for the first time i actually saw a video pov that looked normal to me #i just accepted that people filmed videos up high because that’s what i’m used to #and people in the comments were freaaaaking out #and it’s only then that i see how inconvenient being short is #like yeah i suppose i can’t really see what’s on even the bottommost shelf of a ceiling cabinet #and forget any shelves higher than that #but that’s just how cabinets are! they’re not like that because i’m short they’re just like that because /theyre/ tall #to put it more concisely the framing is less ‘i’m short’ and more ‘things are just tall’ #and in the times where i have to say get a stool #i’m not thinking about how annoying it is that i need it #or at least direct that anger towards my own height #it’s the objects fault /obviously/ #that doesn’t mean friends won’t make fun of me endlessly for being short though LOL #oh and when it ACTUALLY becomes an obstacle… #then yes it’s actually really annoying (rock climbing :/) #but hey i’m happy that being short is written at all if that makes sense?? #like amen for su having an abnormally large cast of small characters

Everyone's talking about Wish right now.... The only thing I can say about WISH.......let's hope it's like a Frozen 1 type thing. Where the trailers were ABSOLUTE ASS but then the film turned out really good. TT0TT

I mean.....there is a difference between the two. While the west got weird trailers that didn't matter for Frozen (Olaf vs Sven carrot thing), JPN and other countries got trailers that actually showcased the plot and drama in an interesting way.... And Wish.....well...... Wish at least gives us a villain and a part of an argument.....and I can't see that argument leading anywhere.....great tbh. So maybe not the best comparisons but let's hope for the Frozen 1 vibe!

Anyway I'm not liking what I'm seeing so far, but I'm hoping its better than the ass disaster Frozen 2 and Ralph 2 were. ;w;

#silly talks #disney #WISH #frozen #as frozen's first fan and the one that didn't care the trailers were ass......my heart goes out to Wish fans rn kldjsafkljsaf #'silly that's pretty bold of you to consider yourself THE FIRST frozen fan-" i drove that damn bandwagon y'all just jumped on later #no really around 2009-2010 i remember looking at the Snow Queen disney page wikipedia page to see if it finally got taken off of hiatus she #*off the hiatus shelf #i remember the damn day the announced Dinsey would take a crack a the Snow Queen adaptation again #then when they announced Kristen Bell for a character (super estatic cause i wanted to hear her singing even more after watching Veronica m #*after watching veronica mars) #The Snow Queen has been a fav fairy tale of mine since i was a baby so yeah I was excited to say the least TT0TT #and yeah 5 seconds into the movie (the day it released mind you! yes I was there I remember how dead the theater was) i was like 'I love it #I ended the movie and wanted to go back in too i loved it that much #safe to say I was BLOWN AWAY by how much OTHERS loved it esp after everyone was bitching abt it leading up to that film TT0TT #anyway love frozen 1 it's my fav #hate frozen 2 it's hot garbage I never felt more lied to by trailers than this movie holy shit #i'm like 8 rants away from writing a complete dissertation on how Frozen 2 completely misunderstood Frozen 1 in it's entirety #(note: I dont think F1 is perfect nor do I think it's a masterpiece I just happen to love it a lot uwu) #anyway I hope wish has a similar thing (sleeper hit release part....not a shitty sequel part)

I See the Sparks Fly

Read on AO3!

A/N: After a few drinks, Noir and JJ celebrate the new year with a little more than kisses.

Warnings: light smut. Grinding. This is probably the spiciest I'll post today.

JJ giggled as Noir’s hand skimmed his stomach beneath his shirt, fingers dancing over the soft flesh as his lips brushed against JJ’s earlobe.

The couple were lying in bed, JJ in Noir’s lap, thriving off the buzz from the both bottle of champagne they had shared and the short shots of whiskey they’d had at dinner. For once, Noir had ditched his hat and tie, rolling his sleeves up to his elbows and allowing JJ to unbutton the first three buttons of his shirt. JJ had unbuttoned his waistcoat and the first two buttons of his shirt, tie undone and draped over his shoulders.

“You are so sensitive, my dear,” Noir chuckled, voice rumbling against JJ’s back making him giggle again. “Especially when you’re tipsy.” He gently bit JJ’s earlobe, tugging a little before letting go, hand on his stomach travelling lower as his other hand travelled to his thighs, squeezing slightly before stilling.

Noir… The detective loved how he could tell JJ’s whines just from how he signed his name. You can’t tease me like this. Please… His hands clenched into fists as Noir gently sucked a mark into the side of JJ’s neck, tilting his head to give Noir more space.

“But you’re so responsive,” Noir taunted, teasing his fingers into JJ’s waistband, chuckling when JJ wrapped his fingers around his wrist, urging him to continue. “And if we start now, you’ll miss the fireworks you love so much.”

He laughed when JJ held up the finger at the window, lifting his arms as JJ turned around, sitting on Noir’s lap with both legs either side of his hips. Noir watched in amusement as JJ ran his fingers through his hair, leaning closer before reaching to the side to grab the last glass of champagne from the bedside table.

JJ raised an eyebrow at Noir, keeping eye contact as he downed the entire glass, clumsily setting the glass back on the table before draping his arms over the detective’s shoulders, fingers playing with the short hairs at the base of his skull.

Noir’s hands found their place on JJ’s hips, pulling him down so their crotches touched, catching his gasp in a kiss when he bucked his hips up.

“Patience, love,” Noir whispered against JJ’s lips, grip tight on his hips to keep him still as he glanced at the clock, silently counting down before rolling his hips slowly against JJ’s, timing his movements and giving JJ a deep kiss as the clock struck midnight, fireworks going off outside the window as JJ came, hands gripping tightly to his shoulders.

“Happy new year, love,” Noir said as JJ came down from his high, gently setting him down on the bed. When JJ simply giggled in response, Noir kissed him lightly on the tip of his nose, sliding his tie off from under his collar to make him more comfortable.

Happy… new… year… JJ signed lazily, grabbing Noir’s face to pull him into another kiss.

What’s On My Shelf? #1: Stop Making Sense (1984)

David Byrne in Stop Making Sense.

The year is 2024, and streaming services are dominating the film and TV industry. They’re also collecting other streaming services like Infinity Stones and calling it “bundling”. What a time to be alive!

A lot of people out there think that physical media is dying. If your name is Best Buy, you apparently think it’s already dead. But it’s still very much alive and there’s still a market for it. I currently have over 200 titles sitting on my shelf and that number will absolutely continue to grow because I love physical media.

That brings me to the point of this post—and the potential series of posts to come.

A few weeks ago I had a random idea for a podcast called What’s On My Shelf?, which would involve me choosing a film in my collection at random and talking about it. Because I hate the sound of my own voice and do a better job writing my thoughts down than actually verbalizing them, I scratched the podcast idea and opted for the same thing but in blog form.

Today the randomizer, which pulls films from my Letterboxd lists that I use to digitally catalog my collection, chose 1984’s Stop Making Sense.

Conceived for the stage by Talking Heads frontman David Byrne and directed by Jonathan Demme, Stop Making Sense captures the iconic band as they take the stage at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood. Shot over four nights and featuring hits like “Burning Down the House” and “Once in a Lifetime”, as well as the now infamous “Big Suit”, it is considered one of the greatest concert films of all time.

David Byrne in True Stories (1986).

I first got into David Byrne and the Talking Heads sometime in 2021. I became particularly obsessed with “Once in a Lifetime” and had it on repeat. That same year I watched David Byrne’s first and only directorial effort, True Stories (1986), which had a killer soundtrack. Sometime after that, I watched David Byrne’s American Utopia on HBO, which is a Spike Lee-directed recording of Byrne’s Broadway show of the same name. I loved the music so much and listened to it everyday for months.

Flash forward to 2023 when A24 announces that they’ll be re-releasing Stop Making Sense in IMAX. I was so excited that I went and bought a copy of the film, which in hindsight was a painfully unnecessary purchase but I had never seen it before and I wanted to as soon as I possibly could.

David Byrne and Chris Frantz in Stop Making Sense.

The film blew my mind when I watched it alone in my room, so when the time finally came for it to hit IMAX screens, I was ready. I picked up a buddy of mine (who lived an hour and a half away) and drove to the closest AMC that was screening the film (which was another hour away), and had my mind blown all over again. A24’s remaster looked and sounded INCREDIBLE in IMAX and was worth the drive. The underwhelmingly brief live-streamed Q&A afterwards… not so much.

The collector's edition of Stop Making Sense, released by A24.

Earlier this year, A24 finally announced a physical release of the film on 4K UHD, which I pre-ordered immediately despite already owning a copy of the film on Blu-ray… and not having the kind of income to just drop $60 on a movie like that. After months of waiting it finally arrived in the mail this week. I have yet to open it at this point, but I’m excited to watch it again!

There’s a reason Stop Making Sense is considered one of the greatest concert films of all time. The music, the staging, the choreography, the decision to have the band members and set pieces come in one by one—it’s one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen. To quote my own Letterboxd review: “Just good vibes all around. Big Suit.”

i want to compile a list of horror media that people need to watch before they call genloss groundbreaking incredible material. like yall are soooo so deeply entrenched in copium toting this thing around like its the best piece of horror media in the world when like. theres no horror. there has literally been no horror. how are we watching the same thing. go watch gemini home entertainment or marble hornets or daisy brown or unedited footage of a bear or this house has people in it and then come back to me. dont fucking talk to me until youve consumed some horror media thats actually good first!!!!!!!!

#sorry i KNOW i said i wouldnt genloss post too much but it just makes me so fucking angry #as a very very very long term horror enthusiast and aspiring horror creator #i feel fucking insulted every time i see genloss being listed as something incredible . when. #theres no horror or comedy in your horror comedy that was originally advertised for two goddamn years as an arg n then analog horror and th #like. pick a theme. give me literally anything. its so bad. im so angry. and i DONT get angry at media. #i actively try not to grt angry at media and legitimately havent since veryyyy early middle school. #so the fsct that this thing is making me so mad is a huge deal. #anyone who has known me for any number of years knows like. i dont get mad about shit!!! #especiallt shit that doesnt rlly matter like fictional media!!! i dont like to expend the energy on that!!! #so when i say genloss makes me so angry to the point where i was literally #sweaty and out of breath after aster and i got off the phone talking abt it the other day #i need you to understand i am not a hater #like #ughgrrghrggghghh #go fucking watch saw (2004) youll have a much better time than watching whatever bs this is #ranboo makes this big long post about how his project is better than aevery other horror short film #and doesnt deserve to be put on a shelf with the rest of them as if theyre beneath his genius vision #and then gives us this cheap heartless garbage that isnt even unique in its badness. #hes just using ideas from other things but doing it worse!!!!!! theres nothing new!!! theres nothing unique!!! #two years of promotional content and like 5 hours of livestreams and they have not given me a single #character or story beat that is interesting enouhj to care about. you cant have horror without first #giving your audience something to care about and then snatching that thing away from them. urhhggghghghgh #reaction time #genloss neg #genloss crit #sorry. im trying to keep the hater posting to a minimum but im so. exhausted

Robert Shaw acts as the Pimpernel's loyal right hand man, Lord Anthony Dewhurst, in The Adventures of the Scarlet Pimpernel: The Hostage (1.1, ITP, 1955)

#fave spotting #robert shaw #the adventures of the scarlet pimpernel #classic tv #itp #itc #1955 #more info on this series (and why it's an ITP production but also ITC) in the tags on my prev Pat Troughton fave spotting post #Robert wasn't quite a newcomer at this point‚ having been acting onscreen for a couple of years by now‚ but he certainly #hadn't made it yet; this might have been his big break‚ except that his character never reappears after this first episode #i suspect this acted as a pilot‚ with some of the establishing footage reappearing in a later ep and with Shaw's character being #replaced for the series by two helpers for the Pimpernel‚ played by Pat Troughton and Anthony Newlands #quite why Bob left idk; there isn't a huge amount of information out there about this near 70 yr old bit of tv obscurity #but he did alright; the following year he'd take the lead in one of ITC's next ventures The Buccaneers and shortly after that #he'd start landing film roles that would ultimately catapult him to Hollywood and to big screen immortality #added to which of course he was already making a name for himself on the english stage (and by the end of the decade he'd be adding #novelist to his list of accomplishments). he's very good here tho naturally falling into a supporting role; he's there to look #impressed by Goring's genius and feats of bravery and to occasionally lend a hand in a fight. i do think Troughton and Newlands #get more character to play with in their parts but then they get multiple appearances to help them with it #The Buccaneers is on my shelf where it has sat for some years now... one day... one day....
