Many thanks to @1000sunnygo for hooking me up with "Operation Stormy Night" from Films of Memories.
Some of my favorite bits under the cut (fiddled around with the wording to help it flow a bit better from Google Translate).
He would move heaven and earth for her.
Not thinking about how if she has Little Bunny this is within just a few weeks of her being shipped.
When you think about how much he tried to keep all the kids at a distance in his heart, but they still instantly clung to him for comfort when they were scared.
Me any time Ray has to interact with this woman over the course of six years with a straight face in front of his siblings. 🙃🙃🙃
@goldiipond points!! Raydon crumbs!!! (He could've clung to anyone, and yet, and yet—)
(Chapter 1)
Back on this again (or the prelude to it I guess kfjdsklf)
The foreshadowing to his mastery of cooking in a single day.
Ray picking up on the Noremma and the little Norray banter. 🥹🧡🤍🖤
"Ray, shut up and go to sleep."
KLJFK they are. Everything. 🤍🧡🖤
@burgerfootlettuce the comfort and safety they draw from each other's presence. 🤧😭🖤🤍
THIS WOMAN I'M
Me whenever Don and Emma's bond is acknowledged. 🥹
The kindest and most exuberant sunshine children.
BRUH HOW CAN YOU CUT IT OFF THERE AFTER HE TOLD THEM HE FELT THE PRESENCE OF THE THREE OF THEM THAT'S SO CRUEL 😭😭😭
But at least he told them about Conny (while potentially keeping the bit about Yuugo and Isabella to himself), and I like the pensiveness about it, showing how much it tugged at his heart.

[Image description: A traditional drawing based on the film It's Such a Beautiful Day. It depicts a sunny meadow littered with trees. This is drawn with markers, coloured pencils, and watercolours, and uses a lot of warm tones. This gives it a softer, almost blurry feel. On top of this, there's a pencil sketch of the outside of Bill's apartment. A shaky circle is drawn around this, with an incomplete border sketched in. Near the bottom and off-kilter, there's a drawing of Bill laying on his back, arms outstretched and face pointed upwards, blank. The outline is blue, faded and bleeding out as if water droplets have washed some of it away. At the top, the phrase "#1 - favourite film" is written".]

The Weekly Gravy #138
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023) – ****
The first Guardians film was easily my favorite Marvel film up to that point, and still might be my favorite film in the whole MCU; it’s funny, it’s beautifully made, it’s got good action, great characters, strong writing, and can stand on its own as a fantasy adventure. The second film wasn’t quite as good, but it was still a fine film. And while…

Death Wish 3 (1985)
Even as an entry in this series, Death Wish 3 is thinly written garbage. Between you and me though, that garbage is nice and toasty when you burn it and once covered with snow, it makes a mean tobogganing hill. Absurdly violent, tasteless and so over-the-top it’ll put you in a catatonic state, I hated the film initially but now I'd consider it "so bad it’s good".
Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson) returns to New York City after 10 years and finds his friend Charley (Francis Drake) dying from wounds a gang inflicted him. Accused of Charley's murder by a corrupt and impotent police force, Paul is let free on the condition he resumes his vigilante ways and cleans up the crime-ridden neighborhood.
This film cuts right to the chase. With all of Kersey’s family are now dead and buried so we're introduced to his “best friend”. Charley has a handful of lines before he is viciously butchered by the film’s villains: an endless gang of psychopaths who have nothing better to do than rape, steal, vandalize and murder. As before, there is no attempt to make any of these villains into human beings, they are simply meat bags for Kersey to fill with lead once the even bigger cartoon that is Inspector Richard Shriker (Ed Lauter) lets him go. After Kersey receives a beating from a trio of officers, Shriker steps in. “This is my jail, Kersey. And I’m the law. That means I get to violate your constitutional rights.” I don’t know whether to laugh or fall into a pit of despair. For some reason, Kersey decides to go along with the man’s instructions and moves into the gang-turf war zone so he can kill as many of them as he can.
This film is just an excuse to have a climactic massacre. The gang responsible for Charley’s death performs ax murders in broad daylight and they commit so many crimes you wonder how they’re able to afford the drugs they’re seen consuming. If you rob people every single day and you murder the ones who don’t cough up money, who will be left to exploit? Anyway, Kersey does his usual thing but this time, all subtlety is thrown out the window. He’s got the police’s blessing so he turns into an urban Rambo. I’m not exaggerating. I wouldn’t have expected to see any buildings explode in a Death Wish sequel, much less 3!
You can tell no one cared. Bronson is zombie-like in his performance even when he’s shacking up with the then-32-year-old Deborah Raffin, who plays a public defender unusually interested in Kersey. Bronson was 64 at the time. Gross! The characters are flat and their dialogue is frequently unintentionally hilarious. The plot is repetitive (within itself and the series) and lazy. At least it’s got the courtesy of going all-out in its climax, a gleefully ridiculous departure from any semblance of reality that jolts you awake. And they made two more of these? @#$@#$% my life.
Death Wish 3 is a long smelly turd but that last squeeze before it’s over is kind of soothing in a way. With a crowd of people who can ignore just how stupid and borderline offensive it gets, I think you'll have a good time. (Full-screen version on DVD, December 13, 2018)
