Joe Black is like a Tugtupite, a rare gem only a select few appreciate its oddities for. Reactive to ultraviolet light, this gem changes colour and is luminescent in the dark. Quite fitting for Joe, I'd say.
Not to objectify men or anything, but Brad Pitt in the 90s was so freaking hot. So now that we have that established, I watched this movie without reading the description, so I had no idea what I was in for. I was totally shocked by what happens right at the beginning of the movie, but I was really intrigued by what followed. I don’t think I’ve seen a movie like this before. I really enjoyed it. Honestly, I think this movie showcases some of Brad Pitt’s range as an actor. I know not everyone likes this, and some people think that Brad Pitt’s character was flat; but I think he played it exactly the right way. It is a long movie, so if you get bored easily I wouldn’t suggest it. There are lots of slow parts. But overall, it’s a beautiful movie that is well worth watching.
Sex/nudity: 3/10 (kissing, one brief boob shot, mild sex scene)
Language: 4/10 (one f-word, multiple other instances of foul language)
Violence: 4/10 (one scene of a heart attack, one pretty graphic scene that I can’t spoil)
I watched Meet Joe Black recently. This has been nagging at me since then.
I know we're all picturing Susan moving on with her life with the coffee shop man, yet all I can think of is the moments in their marriage when she wakes up before him, turning over to stare at his face, and thinking of Death/Joe. I picture her imagining it's him when it isn't, and she gets so ashamed afterward. I think of Joe checking in on her, on the same day they met yearly. It could be an old man 'accidentally' bumping into her on the street, apologizing with a coffee, or a patient she encounters who seems to be out of place. I picture her spending nights up late, wondering where he could possibly be and hoping there's a day they reunite. Her even getting suicidal because of it, eventually causing him to have to take the coffee shop man's body again and convince her it isn't worth it. They spend hours talking, holding each other, she is somewhere in her 40s and he... well... just old. When he leaves, she feels empty. I think of the day she dies, and he is there to collect her, and what their reunion could be. I believe he would want her to stay with him. I believe she would be resentful of him, but eventually warming up and falling in love again (sorry coffee shop man, we just love Joe better).
Starting my new drag art series strong with the fabulous Joe Black!
This drag portrait series is inspired by the illustrious "Art of Drag" by Jake Hall, one of my favourite reads which I brought to my job interview at the library (an interview I ended up acing!)
Recently started experimenting with Krita as an art program and I really really love it
