Wht Song would play in your Rom-Com?
A/N: Kinda surprising myself by posting twice today but hey I did it!! Lmk if you guys want a pt2 bc I don’t wanna write this just for you guys to not care for it or want smth else.
Pt2
Pairings: Heartsabyul, Savanaclaw, Octavinelle, and Scarabia x reader(romantic)
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Dancing in the Moonlight by Toploader
Now I can see this playing out in a montage of you two getting closer somehow; being forced to work together and slowly warming up to each other(academic/work rivals or js u 2 being complete opposites etc.) or even just going from daily acquaintances, maybe you work at his local bakery or coffee shop, and you guys get closer and closer til one of you get the nerve to ask the other out.
 
Tumblr media
Honeypie by JAWNY
This plays out when you guys are having your moment, yk the one where you just think to yourself, I can totally tell they love each other and not just cause the movie is telling you. You two are either talking about something you both feel passionate about and you just bounce off each other clearly feeling at home with this person. Or maybe you guys are just there together and something about the energy or aura of what you doing or not doing just radiates love.
Tumblr media
Magic by One Direction
Playing while it finally hits him that he is totally head over heels for you, and he accepts it. He probably had a lurking feeling beforehand but now he is absolutely sure that he, Cater Diamond, is in love with you.
Tumblr media
Come and Get Your Love by Redbone
This song plays out during your first date montage. It’s a supercute new love type of montage as you guys are just trying to impress each while being all lovey-dovey
Tumblr media
Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus
I think this one is pretty self-explanatory. He's head over heels for you and this song plays during another montage of you two being silly goofy teenagers in love just running around giving everyone toothaches.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
This Love by Maroon 5
This song plays while subtly flirting with(read as obviously pining over) you. You are making him work for it of course and it just makes him more determined to make you his. It will play again at the end of the movie too when you guys are finally together and everyone who’s watching you guys love story(in the movie or not) can finally rest now that you two are together while listening to a fun song.
Tumblr media
Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy by Queen
I can so picture this playing in a scene where you guys bond over having to do a task(like maybe cleaning a mess you two made) together as a new couple and you guys are just having the best time together being all in love and stuff. The sun is softly shining through a window and you clean, stealing kisses and flirting. It’s just such a cute scene.
Tumblr media
My Girl by the Temptations
You can’t convince me that this song isn’t playing in a scene where you guys are having the first dance at your wedding. OR (another) montage of you guys being back at his home as he shows you the beauty of it and while you fall in love with his home he falls harder for you.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Ain’t no Mountain High Enough by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell
I don’t know why my brain has decided that the outro for Azul’s heartfelt closing song of his heartwarming, emotional, fluff filled Romcom. My thoughts refuse to see otherwise. Like just imagine when you uys finally kiss for the first time and you just hear the mesmerizing voices of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell are just transitioning you over to the end montage of the life you and Azul live together with part of the credits playing and the end is a heartfelt message about love pertaining to the movie and then the very last credits roll.
Tumblr media
Stand By Me by Ben E. King
Imagine the two of you dancing together confessing your feelings after being separated by your busy lives for years and after a reunion you two finally meet up and slowly what the two of you thought was just a crush forms into a beautiful love that he professes to you as you two dance in the moonlight. The atmosphere is romantic and his voice is mesmerizing; you two are just so in love.
Tumblr media
Lay All Your Love on Me by Abba; Mamma Mia Ver.
Is this because of the scene during this song? Absolutely! Bc now that I got it into my head it’s never going to leave, just think about it. You two are just elling each other that you want the other to give you their everything. Also I this upbeat song just feels somewhat right for Floyd(i could be wrong tho)
OR
Partners in Crime by Set it Off & Ash Castello
Just imagine the opening and closing song being this song because throughout the movie it’s about the two of you basically being Bonnie and Clyde, traveling across all of Twisted Wonderland causing crimes all by being crazy in love. Every hostage you’ve had to hold can always say one thing “They are mad for each other”. The song starts while we see you guys rob a bank and as the song says at the end the two of you are shot when cornered by the police whether you two die or not is dependent on whether the two of you get a sequel but who knows???
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Stupid in Love by MAX and HUH YUNJIN
Are you kidding me?? This would be you guys' theme song. Just imagine this song being about the two of you about to get married but everyone says you guys are rushing it but like WHO CARES?? You two are so in love it makes everyone sick. This plays during the wedding and at the end when whatever your main conflict is gets solved. Just imagine you two finally happy and at the end you two are looking over a beautiful sunset on magic carpet.
Tumblr media
LoveGame by Lady GaGa 
You guys are enemies to lovers and this is the song that plays during your rivalry montage. Let’s say your Kalim’s cousin doesn't trust him in the slightest and he finds you annoying, because if you keep trying to investigate it could affect him and his family so you two are constantly going toe to toe and the tension is so thick, a butcher would struggle to cut it. During the montage of you two being enemies in public but lovers in private because you guys finally sliced the tension but you don’t want to reveal anything yet. 
Tumblr media
A/N: I’m not 100% on all of these but it was fun to do so even if you guys don’t specifically say you want a part 2 i might js make it for fun but do interact and lmk, it motivates me even to get out more content!! All my love!!

note: Hi, friends! Sorry for my absence. 😅 School's been a pain in the behind. And I was busy with other stuff (watching 2000s rom-coms also counts, yes!) I'll finish this story soon though, no worries. I have an outline of what's coming up so I'll probably write the next few 'chapters' this weekend. Have a nice day (or evening depending on where you're from). 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

Tumblr media
"Hi, kids" you wave at the camera as Jay appears behind you. You raise the camera a bit higher and he grins while waving as well. "Today we're going to explore an adult shop. I got the idea because Yunjin and I walked past it one time. I was scared because there were muzzles and collars. We quickly ran out of that part of the street. BUT curiosity killed the cat and in this case cats because Jongseong-ie is joining me."
"But before we go explore… the adult shop…" You whisper the last part, "We're going to do a mukbang segment first because that's what I stand for. Right, Jay?" He nods and puts an arm around your shoulder. You make eye contact and look away quickly. "Let's go look for food!"
"I'm craving lobster, not going to lie," Jay says as he leans over your shoulder to look at your screen. "No, we had that last Wednesday. Can you eat something other than seafood, Mr Park." You pat his cheek and refocus on looking for food. "What about cream malaxianguo? With fried shrimp dumplings" you ask as your mouth starts to water at the thought of the food. He nods and grabs the camera to turn it off.
There is a montage of you and Jay just sitting there waiting for the food. Then it turns to you guys sitting neatly facing the camera with the food set out in front of you. "Thank you for the food! Eat well, kids!" You start with the dumplings and immediately widen your eyes in awe. "This is so good" you exclaim as Jay hands you a tissue, almost in automatic mode. The mukbang speeds up and then you're done eating. "Thank you for the food" you hear Jay say.
"Let's go!" You start skipping down the footpath and humming the baby shark tune. "Guys, she's officially lost it. Who sings a children's song while going to a [bleep] shop?" Jay shakes his head and follows you with the camera. When you arrive, before Jay, you stand in front of the door and wait for Jay to rejoin your side. "Let's go, BFFs"
"Y/n, I'm scared…" Jay whispers as you guys make your way in between the isles. He points at what looks like a ribbed dildo. "That can't be enjoyable. Ain't no way." You giggle as you guys go even deeper into the shop. "Guys, they have blow job bibs" You point the camera at the item and zoom in with a funky little noise.
Suddenly a woman approaches you guys. You pan the camera away to not show her face. The screen turns black and the words 'video gone wrong' appear in bold red letters.
"Not very customer service-y, guys," you say outside the shop. "We got kicked out, haha" Jay is shaking with laughter in the background as you recount how a worker told you not to film and kicked you out. "Let's go to Tesco" Jay huffs with exhaustion from laughing so hard. "Y/n, never again. Please, I beg" You pull him along while muttering to the camera. "No promises"
"Okay, next segment and last segment is another mukbang because food is life. Literally. We went to Tesco and got lots of candies, so let's try them." Jay sits down by your side and scoots a little closer to inspect the candy you're observing. "It's sour apparently" You give it to Jay knowing that you can't stand sour candies. His face scrunches up and you laugh.
"I'll eat the gummy bears." You put a handful in your mouth and start choking. Jay taps your back and you wipe away the tears. "Let's not anymore." Jay takes away the package and gives you the sweet peaches. "Man, I love these," you say while swallowing the candies. Jay fondly shakes his head and giggles while handing you a glass of water.
"Lovelies, tschüs! I'll see you in the next video" Jay waves and puts his hand on the lens.

Episode 4
Royal wedding montage. No, Samantha Cohen didn’t tell you some weird Rainbow Fish story. That did not happen. 
Voices of journalists talking about how amazing she is and how she is going to change the family for the better. I guess the royal coverage is good…as long as they say nice things.
“I don’t know how I was so calm.” Drugs, Meghan. It was drugs. 
Wedding crowds montage. Same song as Four Weddings and a Funeral because these two think they are living a rom com. Celebrities attending the wedding. International coverage. Amal and George and the Beckhams. Will and Harry. No one mentions that it was Wallis Simpson’s car. She didn’t talk about the “real” wedding three days before.
There was no expectation, Harry. You were supposed to get married in Craithie Kirk because you were a man of the people. That was the first story that came out.
CWK talks about the dress. Doesn’t mention the Commonwealth flowers in the veil. No mention of the tiara drama or the egg debacle either. 
Bold choice going with the vampire bride shot. Yes, KC was important to you Meg. He single-handedly saved your train wreck wedding. Lots of discussion about the Kingdom Choir and no one mentions that they perform at all the Commonwealth events. 
They sold their wedding pics, just like Peter. They are soooooo tacky. They laugh about cutting the cake with the sword. That wedding cake was truly symbolic, a priceless collection of gold pedestals propping up a mediocre confection. Her mom ditched her for the celebs. That is hilarious. Of course she did.
Interesting that Meghan hasn’t looked happy once during this whole documentary, but she sounds truly joyful when talking about the wedding. That was the highlight of her life. 
Kate’s face in the wedding pictures is everything. Says it all. I wonder if Meghan sold a Kate pic. I haven’t seen one yet. Never mind, I just rewound and, sure enough, she did.
Interesting how they are appropriating narratives—she’s a hugger, writing in a new character, modernizing—that were created by the tabloids. Every single word this Archewell guy is saying was written by Camilla Tominey, Andrew Morton, or Valentine Low. He is parroting the royal experts Harry was mocking last episode.
Train trip with the Queen. Why does she wear a necklace in some shots, but not in others? They are splicing different interviews and using filters to make it look line one interview. This section was edited into incomprehensibility after the death of the Queen.
Grenfell. LOL, she makes it sound like she was in the UK when the tragedy happened. Wild. I like the Grenfell ladies but why are they spending time on this and not covering her current charities? 
Bitching about Nott Cott, which actually looks super cute. “I don’t know who lived here before.” Your brother, the heir, lived there before, Harry. You know that.
 That’s how she decorated it? Pottery Barn circa 2001? No wonder her domestic goddess career never took off. All of this just to upgrade from 2000s Pottery Barn to 2014 Restoration Hardware? But….they weren’t living in Nott Cott. They rented a Cotswolds farmhouse before the wedding and lived there until moving to Frog Cott. That’s why all these pics are of them getting dressed. They were just using Nott Cott to prep for London events. 
Wait, did they just bitch about their multi-million cottage in Kensington Palace being too small right after the Grenfell segment? Yes, they did. Wow.
Pregnancy. She sold her sonogram pictures. Australia. You weren’t showing already, Megs. There was no bump. Cue shots with no bump. This is epic gaslight. We can clearly see she’s not showing, but they flat out say she was.
Lol, she wasn’t that popular. Her polls peaked at 41% net approval after the wedding and dropped like rocks. And Australia wasn’t the turning point, Lucy. It was her dad talking to the media all summer long. Isn’t Lucy Harper a pr person? Shouldn’t she be able to interpret polling data? Headlines about how popular she was…including the 2018 Time’s Most Influential List, which is hilarious because they were sandwiched between Donald Trump and Saudi Arabia’s MSB. Yeah, the royals were really jealous of that. OMG, they show Meghan’s covers and its…Woman’s Day and Hello! Canada. One of the headlines is “Freddy Mercury’s Secret Wife.” 
Wait, now he’s happy because the media put Meghan on the front pages? They have a very strange relationship with the media. Hold on, he thinks Meghan outshone The Queen? Seriously?????? He thinks the frumpy brocade dress outshone The Queen? I remember calling that a hater cover because Meghan looked so terrible in it. No one thought she overshadowed The Queen. Literally, no one. 
Archewell guy speaking again.  He seems to think that the royals, who were desperately trying to cover up the epic disaster of the Australian tour—which included insulting the Australian government house, exaggerating an incident with a faulty heater, assaulting an embassy employee, walking out of a United Nations event, making a staffer cry in front of a reporter, wearing jewelry gifted by an allegedly murderous despot, and trolling her father by saying he hadn’t paid for her college—were jealous of how “well” she did in Australia. This is delusional.
Lol, now they are bitching about avocados. It wasn’t the avocados. It was her dad. They just jumped from blaming the royals for the bad press to blaming racism. First The Queen was jealous, then the staff were scared, then the media was racist and giving Kate better press…I’m getting whiplash. Pick a villain, guys! I can’t follow this argument at all. The Queen was upset because Meghan stole her Woman’s Day cover with Freddie Mercury’s secret wife so she leaked stories about Meghan’s favorite perishable fruit and the evil tabloids turned that into the racialized avocados of death? Whaaaaaat????? I love how Harry throws up his hands and says “well, if you can’t see it, I can’t do anything for you.” See what? None of this makes any sense.
BTW, they used the “Hurricane Meghan” headlines even though Meghan told Oprah she hadn’t heard about that. The Oprah interview also implied she never knew about the bump-holding headlines and they used those in the documentary too. Oprah read them to her and Meghan acted as if it was the first time she was hearing about it. The only headlines Meghan, according to their statements during the Oprah interview, was supposedly aware of were the “made Kate cry story” and the avocado story, and she laughed at the avocado story.
Walkabout in Liverpool. A member of the public scolded her about her dad. See? The problem was her dad. Harry and Meghan, however, blame family lies and the tabloids. Her dad was giving interviews right and left, and people were watching him in real time, complaining about how he was treated.  No one in the palace was leaking this. No one was lying about it. He was out there, giving interviews to anyone with a couple of bucks because he wanted to explain that he did actually pay for her school. Her sister was doing the same thing.
And here’s the Diana 2.0 stuff. Wait, she was going to kill herself…over the racialized avocados of death? I paused to re-read the transcript of the Oprah interview because I remembered the suicidal ideation story as being a lot more sympathetic than “the Kate story and the avocados made me want to end it all.” In that interview, they start with the tabloid stories, but then Oprah asks her whether she felt lonely and she talks about Harry working all the time and being all alone. She talks about not being able to leave the house and see her friends and also about the tours being exhausting and having to smile through it all. She also claims there were talks about Archie not being a prince and not getting security and how that was stressing her out. Then she talks about people being concerned about Archie’s skin color and then she talks about her suicidal ideation. That kind of emotional build-up is what Oprah brings to the table. That’s why she gets the big bucks. Here, they just jump from “our Australian tour was super successful” to “mean tabloid stories about Kate and avocados” to “I just didn’t want to live anymore,” and it’s not as powerful, particularly since the behind-the-scenes pictures they keep showing us are all happy pictures. 
Also, we skipped over the big show of support at Sandringham.  And Doria can also do the “one tear, left eye” trick. It must be genetic.
She wasn’t allowed to get help? Girl, they knew you were nuttier than a fruitcake. They would have sent you to a shrink in a hot minute. And they weren’t afraid about how it would make the institution look. Harry admitted to going to therapy and it went fantastic. James Middleton went to therapy too. They put up pics of Megs looking sad…and they are all from events that happened afterwards.
The households separated because of leaks? Bullying isn’t even going to get mentioned? No, it isn’t, and neither is the big social media campaign KP did to support Meghan.
I’m blown away by the fact that all this drama is about a story about bridesmaids’ dresses. The Oprah Winfrey interview was motivated by this one story about making Kate cry. The Archetypes podcast was about the story about making Kate cry. They made a six-hour Netflix documentary about a story about making Kate cry. There is now an entire subgenre of royal coverage based on Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid attire. This one story has been living rent-free in Harry and Meghan’s heads since Fall 2018.
Harry keeps talking about trading stories and not playing the game. He totally planted the Rose Hanbury affair story as revenge for the “made Kate cry” story. Absolutely,
Happy Nott Cott Christmas.  She wasn’t allowed to text photos? Lol, you weren’t texting photos bc you were saving them for Netflix.
People Magazine article. I guess these were the friends working with the magazines. Wasn’t their privacy super important? Weren’t they in danger if their identities were revealed? That was the argument that was presented under oath to the court. Now it turns out she was just saving the reveal for the Netflix special. Baby shower. OMG, Amal Clooney making floral arrangements, wtf? Backlash because of course. 
They are gifted Frogmore Cottage. Archie’s birth. Vintage footage about royal births. She had a long-standing relationship with her UK doctor? How? Seriously, how? They couldn’t do the photocell at Portland Hospital? Didn’t Fergie do it at Portland? Twice?
Birth announcement drama. The problem wasn’t that you broke protocol, Meghan. The problem was that CBS got the exclusive and you lied to the press about the birth. They bring in academics to say it was about racism because of course.
Archie. They took a picture of the nanny with the baby in a mud cloth carrier, lol.
South Africa with Archie. They couldn’t do a hospital photocall with the baby, but now they are taking him on tour. Doria just said “it’s not the institution’s baby, it’s her baby,” but they are taking him on an official tour. They can’t be expected to serve their child on a silver platter for literally two minutes, but they can take him on a week-long tour. I had to double-back and check the dates because I felt this wasn’t nearly as jarring and contradictory when it happened, and it wasn’t. The tour was several months after the birth and they had already taken the baby (who was supposedly too young to fly to Balmoral for the summer) to Ibiza. They way they presented it in the documentary, however, sounded ridiculous.
BTW, no coverage of the Vogue magazine, Smartworks capsule collection, the summer vacations at Elton’s house, the private planes, etc…. All of these were roundly criticized (well, not the Smartworks capsule) and yet the only story that matters is the Kate story.
Lol, the Archewell guy just admitted the royals were afraid Meghan would cause an international row during this tour. Not afraid that she would embarrass the royal family with her activism, noooooo. Afraid she would cause an international row.
Tutu. Wasn’t this footage intrusive two episodes ago? Make up your minds, guys! Tom Bradby. Is she trying to spin the interview as an oopsie due to exhaustion? Is she saying Tom tricked her? She really thinks people are stupid. Also, she takes no responsibility for anything, not even the Uber-narcissistic “I trusted too much.” She’s not even capable of that.
{Edited: Apparently Harry is doing another interview with Bradby. Guess he didn’t really trick them then.]
Astroturfed supportive hashtag. Guess her huge investment in Twitter bots paid off. LOL, my kid squints at the screen and says “all the tweets have the same timestamp.” Yes, they do.
Oh, the Diana footage is a bad idea. You can tell she was trying to act like Diana during the Africa interview (so much eyeliner). They really do think she’s Diana though, and they planned their tours (Australia, Africa, big meeting with African leader, big tour with baby) to bolster that impression. It’s interesting that worthy projects (Smartworks capsule collection, Vogue, Morocco girls’ meetings Ireland tour, dog shelter) that would make Meghan look good, but don’t support the Diana narrative are simply not mentioned. The India hygiene project is not featured in the documentary, but the Diana-like pictures in traditional dress are. 
You Don’t Own Me for closing credits. Hahaha. Harley Quinn music. So appropriate. The music in the last three documentaries is better than the music in the first three. 
Husband and group chat both discuss the Diana 2.0 stuff. She really thinks she is Diana and the documentary is trying to present her as Diana. Everyone agrees that she is no Diana. The psychologist thinks she should have worn more eyeliner. The lawyer tells her that eyeliner wasn’t the problem. There isn’t enough eyeliner in the world to turn her into Diana. Everyone thinks the music is good. Much texting about how much the tiny cottage cost. Someone looks it up on Zillow and it’s an insane number. Many “but my palace was sooooo small” jokes. Many comments about a KP cottage, no matter how small, being much classier than a California McMansion. Many comments about the Archewell guy sounding slimy. 
On to the next episode.

My Demon - 7/10
Tumblr media
The announcement of My Demon literally created chaos among the k-drama fans. The Song Kang-Kim Youjung pairing was making everyone insane. The hype was unreal. But did My Demon live up to it? Well, the answer to that would be… yes or no (kissy if u read that in Na Bora’s voice). My Demon did have a very interesting plot line, good enough characters and it was successful in getting the audiences hooked with the first few episodes. The cinematography was the most talked about among the viewers and rightfully so. The wide shots of Jung Guwon’s (Song Kang) office, the underwater scene, the slow-mo shot of the waves forming a portal around Guwon and Dohee (Kim Youjung), the Dohee-about-to-fall-off-the-balcony scene and so on. Another thing that filled twitter was the fashion. And not only the female lead’s this time, but also the male leads. Guwon has secured his place among the very few male leads with impeccable fashion sense. When most male leads are shown in sophisticated suits, Guwon was rocking cropped jackets and scarfs. But then again, I don’t think most male leads are Song Kang.
Nevertheless, My Demon stands as an example that if you start with a bang, your ending should be a banger. This is where the drama failed. In the second half, it started to feel like the story line was being stretched. The cinematography and direction which was so good in the start had taken a back seat and love making montages were put in for the action that wasn’t happening. And by action, I mean just anything that would contribute to the plot. The plot was moving, but at a very slow pace. Sure, Guwon and Dohee make the best couple, the greenest flag couple, the entire amazon rainforest couple, but where is the drama? I wasn’t necessarily waiting for anything bad to happen, but for a time being literally nothing was happening. And I was mad about that. Until towards to the end, everything happened. The new trend of k-drama rom-coms only having 12 episodes, My Demon should’ve followed that. Because the more they stretched, the more Song Kang’s bad acting showed and also the writer’s inability to stitch it all together. I honestly loved Song Kang in Sweet Home, not that he had any more than 2 expressions 3 dialogues in it, but still. Jung Guwon is far more expressive, and Song Kang couldn’t do justice. He shines when the camera requires for him to be the slayest demon to walk this planet, but when it is time for the playful babygirl Guwon to get on stage, his acting feels like… acting. It’s not terrible, it’s just not the best. Also the entire past life plot is becoming more than obvious. The moment I saw Guwon dreaming of his past, I KNEW Guwon and Dohee probably died in the past life and one of them thinks it’s their fault and they will try to distance themselves from each other. You know which other drama did it? See You in My 19th Life and Destined with You and maybe more but I don’t remember. Like can we please move on? This is equivalent to the 2016 era dramas having the oh we’ve actually met in childhood and not forgotten each other since trope. But then again, they have given us the most iconic dramas, can’t the same about these though.
However, I loved the way they showed Jin Gayoung’s character coming full circle. She is probably the only one who started a certain way, learned her lessons, had character development and got her happy ending. So yeah, My Demon definitely isn’t the best drama for me. I am not going to put in on my re-watch list. But I will recommend it. It’s fun, and sweet, and great for fashion inspo!
Another thing I want to add is that My Demon is compared to Doom at Your Service a lot for having a similar concept, so I’ll just say that DAYS is a much better drama, for all aspects – storyline, acting, romance, comedy, THE FUCKING AWESOME THREESOME OF THE SECOND LEAD THRUPPLE, even the song (If Love Sight by TXT doesn’t play in my head when I look at my future partner, I’ll know they’re not the one). Except My Demon is going to take the trophy for best costume.
Ok that’s it now let me play Hyunsu’s “What should we do?” until Sweet Home S3 comes out hehe!

ITS SUPPOSED TO BE A HORROR MOVIE: The Debaser The Movie The Soundtrack (Chapters 1-6)
Tumblr media
So for a while I've been I imagining bits of Debaser like I'm shooting it as a fucked up rom-com so uh... I guess I'm putting a soundtrack together with descriptions of the shots the songs go with. It's over the top and incredibly on the nose cause I think that's funny & it won't make a lot of sense unless you've read Debaser so probably best go read that first. It also definitely contains fic spoilers. This is only part one so stay tuned for more!
*All of these songs would have to be chopped and screwed to make the timing work btw they obv wouldn't really get played full out. Also with the length of this thing it's probably more like a series than a movie but whatever.
(And if you're wondering about aesthetic influences, I think what I've envisioned here would end up looking like some Danny Boyle stuff with the hyper dynamic camera work, cuts & shots timed with music, and some slightly fantastical visual elements. I want to say there would also be a John Waters energy but that might just be because it's gay and unhinged.)
PROLOGUE
1. Girls on Film- Duran Duran 
The song starts playing over a montage of Billy & Stu watching horror movies, camera is behind them with the TV screen framed in the center of the shot between their heads. Images on the tv screen cut rapidly with the beat of the song on a slow zoom forward, showing a sequence of kills from different movies. Song fades a little to play under them talking as the camera reverses to show their faces. It continues through the conversation & comes back to full volume as Billy picks the first of one of Stu’s polaroids to look at it closer. It continues to play through the hunting sequence, and does a simple fade out.
2. A well respected man- The Kinks
Begins over a shot of Billy in his room, light from the TV flashing over his face. Dolly shot pans through his closed bedroom door and down the hall, showing a series of family photos on the wall. Camera continues to pan into the living room where Nancy & Hank are yelling at each other, Nancy grabbing her bag and heading for the door. Camera cuts to Billy, already outside on his bike in the rain, cuts to his dad pouring himself a glass of whiskey, cut to Nancy, driving past the sign on the way out of Woodsboro, mascara running. Finally it cuts back to Billy ditching his bike on Stu’s lawn and climbing in his window. Song ends abruptly as he pushes Stu's window open.
Chapter 2
3. Teenage Dream- T Rex
Starts when Billy starts choking Stu. Shot gets a hazy vingette & (cue the Danny Boyle shit) becomes semi-psychedelic, colors flaring brighter & we get a ridiculous shot of Stu falling through some sort of galaxy behind his own closed eyes. When he opens them, the camera goes slow-mo on Billy, shooting him like a love interest in an 80’s movie- soft focus again, hair blowing in the wind (what wind??). The song cuts out when Stu blacks out, and the next shot frames the two of them from the side, effects & wind gone. Without the music the movie and rain can be heard in the background.
4. It's Not Unusual- Tom Jones
Starts immediately after Billy says “Nah, Stu you’re good. Have fun screwing her later.” The camera stays on Billy's back as walks out, holding on the door as it slams shut. The next shot shows Stu's face closer up, then pulls out to show the length of the bathroom as an old man comes in and gives Stu a weird look. The song continues to play as Stu leaves the bathroom, then goes to find Casey and hears that Billy left. The song replaces diegetic sound as the camera follows Stu and Casey out of the theatre, then cuts to Stu's house with them hooking up and Stu still looking confused. Cut to black as Stu unzips his pants & the song cuts out at the same time.
Chapter 3
5. Good Old-fashioned lover boy- Queen
The song starts to play as Billy gets on his bike after visiting Sid. We see multiple tracking shots of him biking around Woodsboro, cutting between locations. The camera reverses to show him from the front, match cuts switching through the same locations as he continues to bike, looking completely dead behind the eyes as the song continues to play. Finally we get him pulling up to his house and switch to a handheld shot, following him from behind as he drops his bike on his lawn and climbs in through his window. The camera stays outside the window as he walks to his bed and drops onto it and the music cuts out hard. Switch to a short overhead shot of Billy lying on his bed in the silence before the scene ends. 
In the next scene at school, when Stu starts doing his silent good boy act following him around, we get a single line of Freddy Mercury’s voice without the instrumental part of the song, singing the line “Say the word your wish is my command”.
6. Criminal- Fiona Apple
The song starts on a slow pan over Stu as he lies on the ground under Billy (after surprising him with the costume after school). The camera focuses on the bowie knife in his hand as he pushes the hem costume up, then cuts to a macro shot of the tip of the knife running over Stu’s stomach, goosebumps and hairs pricking up. The song builds, getting louder with Billy’s inner monologue & the shot moves in even closer for the first actual cut, following a drop of blood as it rolls across Stu's skin.
On the lyric "I've done wrong and I wanna suffer for my sins", the shot cuts quickly to a a shot of Stu's hands moving to Billy's hips, neither of their faces visible. We hold on this shot for an awkward moment, then cut to an over head shot as Billy takes Stu's hands and puts them on the ground next to his head.
The song continues to progress under the rest of the scene as the background starts to fade into black, until they're essentially under a spot light on a black background as if they're on stage. When the bridge kicks in to be timed with Stu really starts to loose it, and the song cuts out immediately after the lyric "The devil wants to know" as Stu’s mom knocks on the door, snapping them back to Stu's room as the background.
Chapter 4
7. I Know What Boys Like- The Waitresses 
Stu’s inner monologue is narrated over a shot of the whole group at lunch. The shot switches to one from Billy’s pov, directed at Stu as he does a really exaggerated yawn, lifting his arms up so that his shirt pulls up and the bandages show. The shot switches as if it’s coming from Stu’s perspective now, directed at Billy as he glares over Sid’s shoulder. Reverse shot back to Stu, who smirks, and the song starts on the first vocal line with a cut to a screen split into 3 panels.
Each panel shows an instance of Stu showing off his bandages- in class, at the fountain, in gym, each of the panels switching through multiple instances of him doing this, and then to instances of Billy retaliating- throwing a basketball at him, shoving him, just straight up walking away. The song fades out at the start of the scene where they end up at the fountain alone together (when Billy says he’ll come to Stu’s birthday).
8. Call me- Blondie
Scene opens with a tracking shot on Billy’s back, following him up the walkway to the Macher house. The lights are on and people can be seen partying inside. The song is faintly audible from inside the house, getting louder as he nears. When he reaches the house Billy turns to the left and walks out of the shot, but the camera doesn’t follow him, it continues up the steps and through the front door as a teenager opens it to stumble outside for a smoke, the song finally playing at full volume when the door opens and the camera moves through it. The shot moves through groups of partying teens, eventually finding Stu in the living room watching Randy lecture.
The song continues to play in the background through the rest of the scene, a little quieter under the group chatter as Stu goes to answer the phone. The song has faded into a slightly tenser instrumental score by the time the phone call is over, but fades back in after Billy’s jump-scare, only to cut out entirely when Stu discovers Casey and Steve in the garage.
9. I touch myself- Divinyls
Billy says "last longer next time" and the first discordant notes of the song begin to play over a shot of him getting up and walking to the door after thier cutting session. When the door closes the shot cuts to Stu, unmoving and looking a bit shell-shocked as his hip continues to bleed. He blinks once, then the drum kicks in as the song starts for real and he begins to move, unzipping his jeans.
Cue a frantic and slightly delirious montage of Stu jerking off, intercut with visuals of Billy from the cutting scene, shot from Stu's perspective and Stu-ified with saturated colour and soft focus like it was in the choking scene. He lasts until the end of the first chorus, and the song cuts out hard on the last “oh no” as he makes an obvious cum face. The image cuts at the same time, switching to a shot of Stu’s hands as he wipes the blood and cum off on a T-shirt.
Chapter 5
10. Love buzz- Nirvana
The opening baseline starts playing over a panning shot of them watching something in Stu’s room, the shot facing them so the Tv isn’t visible. Cut to a shot of Billy’s fidgeting hands as the drum kicks in, then a closer shot of the lower portion of Stu’s face, focusing on his mouth as he bites a twizzler, then pull back to the first shot, showing both of them. The first guitar riff is timed to come in just after Billy says “You should run.” Tracking shot of Billy chasing Stu through the house.
The first vocal line plays as Billy starts choking Stu and the song plays all the way through. The shot itself at least appears to be a oner, moving around the two of them as they banter and play their choking game. The camera then follows Billy as he runs away to the bathroom, halting abruptly outside the door as Billy slams it. Cut to a shot of Billy’s face inside the bathroom, he’s obviously jerking off, match cut to a shot of Stu face doing the same, then back to Billy as he makes an obvious cum face in time with the end of the song.
11. Line up- Elastica
Song starts playing over an aerial view of the Prescott backyard, filled with people and decorated for the barbecue. We can’t hear the crowd at all, no background noise, just the song. Cut to a shot at ground level, focused on Maureen, standing with Neil near the barbecue. They’re talking to someone, laughing. The shot pans sideways through the crowd to Billy, standing with Sid, who is preoccupied talking to someone else. Billy is clearly looking in Maureen's direction.
The shot starts to pan back towards Maureen like it’s sliding away, but then it cuts to a shot in Sidney’s bedroom with the music paused before the first vocal line as Sid asks if Billy is ok and he tells her he just misses his mom. Cut to a shot of Sidney, Billy and Tatum walking up to the party, the song picking back up where it left off at the barbecue, playing diegetically at the party. It plays all the way through in the background of the scene and then transitions to generic party music.
12. Be My Baby- The Ronettes
Opening drum beat starts when Stu says “I want it to be permanent”, playing over a reaction shot of Billy, making a face like he's in the fucking kitchen scene (aka completely smitten). When the rest of the instruments come in, the shot reverses to show Stu, stylized in Billy’s version of Stu’s Romance-Vision™: Soft focus, Stu’s eyes looking extra blue from the color grading so he looks like an old hollywood actor (think Paul Newman’s eyes), vingnette, pathetic expression. The works.
Reverse shot back to Billy looking smitten again (kitchen scene), and then the song plays out over the rest of the scene, then song cuts out hard when they cum. We get a final shot of Billy’s face over Stu’s shoulder as he has his post-nut clarity moment, scored only by heavy breathing and the background noise of the party. 
Chapter 6
13. Can't Take My Eyes Off You- Frankie Valli
Starts to play over a montage of Stu doing his little acts of submission, taking Billy’s coat, getting on his knees to take off his shoes, opening doors, carrying his things, intercut with shots of Stu looking at him, just completely smitten. The montage is in soft focus with a light pink tint. As the song starts to pick up, we start to get shots of Stu getting pushed into walls, slapped, punched, looking deliriously happy the whole time. Intercut with these are shots of them ‘training’- chasing each other in costume, picking locks, creeping around woodsboro at night.
This continues to escalate with the song, with shots of him hitting the ground in multiple locations, shots continuing to cut on beat. For the final chorus, the camera pulls out further to show both of them, with Billy choking while he rides his leg, Billy cutting him and grinding against him as the camera begins to circle them like it did in the love buzz sequence, tightening into a dizzying spiral right at as the song ends.
14. Bizarre Love Triangle- New Order
The song starts to play as Billy tackles Maureen down on stop of Stu, the three of them falling in slow motion as the color grading switches back to the pink-tinted soft-focus look from the montage. The next shot centres Billy from an upward angle, like it’s coming from Stu’s POV, showing Billy stabbing, blood splattering up onto his mask and looking almost pink, glittering.
Reverse shot to Stu under Maureen, both of them rocking as Billy continues to stab her, a pool of blood starting to spread out under Stu in the shape of a heart. At the instrumental before the first chorus, the camera pulls back to a medium shot, showing them both as Billy pulls the knife out for the last time. There’s a moment where he doesn't move, but his chest can be seen moving as he breathes heavily from the exertion. 
When the first vocal line of the chorus hits, the slo-mo stops and Billy moves at full speed, pushing his mask up and pulling off Stu’s, then kissing him. The camera switches to a closer shot as they kiss, and the background becomes semi-surreal, sparkly, bloody starbursts popping behind them. The song cuts out hard at the end of the chorus when their alarms go off.
15. Something Stupid- Frank & Nancy Sinatra
Song fades in on an over-the-shoulder shot, showing Billy biking away from Stu in the forest behind Sids house after the murder. It comes to full volume as Stu packs his things away, and we see a tracking shot of his back as he bikes home. This crossfades to shots of the knives being wiped down, then when the vocals come in it crossfades to a shot of water running red to pink down a shower drain & over skin, then to a slightly abstract shot of blood in water (I’ve never been the same since Hannibal) as Stu washes their clothing.
The shot comes up through the surface of the water to show Stu, looking worried as he scrubs. This shot crossfades to a shot of Billy, creeping through Cotton Weary’s back yard. Cut back to Stu’s hands as he scrubs, blood still caked under his nails, then match cut to Billy’s gloves hands as he picks the lock and pushes the door open. This crossfades out to a shot of Stu putting wet clothes in the drier, to Billy pushing Cotton’s bloody jacket into a trashcan, then slipping back out of the house.  Crossfade back to Stu, sitting in front of his dryer looking stressed as the music fades out, and then Billy comes down the stairs.
When Billy kisses Stu, the song comes back on for the instrumental bridge, stopping before the vocals come in again as Billy pulls away.

Excerpts, including spoilers:
Walking out of the theater after DDLJ, Jay (Jonathan Groff) launches into a defense of the over-the-top emotionality of Bollywood romances. “I think we’re all embarrassed by the bigness of love,” he declares. His date, Naveen (Karan Soni), is intrigued but skeptical, later recounting the interaction to his work bestie (Peter S. Kim) as a bit weird and kind of corny.
Because A Nice Indian Boy is a rom-com, though, it’s practically a given that Naveen will come around by the end. The film delights in public displays and grand gestures, such that it opens and closes on a pair of weddings. But its real strength lies in its sensitivity toward the messy feelings, smaller acts, and platonic and familial bonds that underlie those epic shows of romance. By the end, even those who don’t fancy themselves the sentimental type — as Naveen doesn’t, and I don’t particularly either — are likely to be won over by its modest but dependable charms.
A Nice Indian Boy gets the boy-meets-boy portion of its storyline squared away early. Naveen is a shy Indian American doctor who spends his lonely evenings recording (and usually deleting) messages to former flings like “Guess you’ve been eating an apple a day because you’ve kept this doctor away!” Photographer Jay is more confident and open, a former foster kid whose story got a happy ending when he was adopted by Indian parents. The two start dating after a chance meeting at a Hindu temple, and by the end of the second of the narrative’s five acts, they’re engaged. If that sounds rushed, it is — the bulk of the relationship flies by in a montage covering some unspecified period of time. And throughout, the film’s focus on Naveen cannot help but shortchange Jay, often leaving him as an ideal for Naveen to catch up to rather than a protagonist in his own right.
But it’s a testament to the film’s attention to detail that the bond between Naveen and Jay nevertheless feels sturdy. Soni and Groff share a warm and relaxed chemistry, bolstered by Eric Randall’s efficient script (adapted from the play by Madhuri Shekar). You know these people are super into each other from their first date because there’s no other reason for Naveen to stick around after Jay embarrasses him by bursting into song in the middle of the street, or for Jay to lean in with interest as Naveen rambles in excruciating detail about the parking structure at his job. Director Roshan Sethi tosses in an occasional stylistic flourish to give their courtship an almost fairy-tale feel. When they kiss for the first time, the camera tilts as if in a swoon. When they have sex, it straightens back up, as if to signal how right everything feels when they’re together.

rwrb thoughts from someone who hasn't read the book (yet)
The good/general thoughts:
pleasantly surprised by the acting! which I know sounds mean, but listen, I saw these guys in other things and I wasn't suuuper into them, so it was a nice surprise lol
THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THE TWO again, pleasantly surprised by that lol they played off each other SO well
10/10 soundtrack, it definitely took inspiration from older rom-coms and I loved it <3
PS I really liked all the side characters! I wish we'd gotten to spend a little more time with some of them, but everyone was pretty great <3 also, all the women were awesome, and I am very gay and very in love <3
Ok, I really, REALLY liked how they showed the two of them texting each other, and the whole editing around it. It was pretty cute
I was living for all the latine songs at the new year's party, that was a nice touch
ok, when everyone was getting down at the party and alex and henry stayed up and stared at each other and time slowed down, I know it was supposed to be romantic, but I have to say it: it was also the funniest shit I've ever seen lol
henry at the party is giving both 'i have social anxiety and my only friend here is a social butterfly and keeps leaving to be with other people send help' and 'i thought you invited me here as a first date kind of thing but you're dancing and making out with other people and i'm feeling so betrayed rn :('
'christ you're as thick as it gets *kiss*' LMAO
Listen, I'm not usually into rom-coms (I say, like a liar), but I was pretty happy with the writing, in general. I laughed at all the funny parts, got emotional over all the dramatic ones and swooned at the romance bits. Great job, everyone
'I just can't afford for you to fall in love with me' LMAO babe, we're WAY past that. On both sides
ok, full disclosure: I don't really like sex scenes all that much (there's nothing wrong with them, I'm just very ace lol), so I usually just use my phone while they're happening, and while I did that a little bit here too, I was still paying attention, and honestly, they were pretty sweet. They did a good job. And, like, I have no idea why the film was R-rated lol you literally don't see anything
again, love the little montages that show the passing of time, while also showing they're keeping in touch and getting to know each other better and stuff. It makes the relationship between the two and the way it's developing feel a bit less rushed, which is nice
ZAHRA MY MOST BELOVED
YES PLEASE I WANT TO SEE THAT POWERPOINT PRESENTATION THANK YOU
KARAOKEEEE
alex giving an impassioned romantic speech to henry, about to confess his love: // henry:
Tumblr media
'I didn't want to break his heart' - oh, honey, you already did :(
'to tell you that I love you, knowing that you wouldn't say it back' brb sobbing
NOT CAN'T HELP FALLING IN LOVE 😭😭😭
'because when they write the history of my life, I want it to include you and my love for you' help i'm dying 😭😭😭😭😭😭
MIGUEL DON'T THINK I DON'T KNOW IT WAS YOU please die in a fire <3
alex's speech was really good by the way 🥺
LOVESICK HOMOSEXUALS LMAO ZAHRA MY BELOVED
'baby' screaming crying throwing up jgdkfk
I FORGOT THE KING WAS STEPHEN FRY why is this so funny to me
SEQUEL WHEN
The... less good?/general questions:
Kinda wish there'd been a bit more enemies in my enemies-to-lovers film
'he just grabbed my hair in a way that made me understand the difference between rugby and footbal'' - please, I beg you, someone smarter than me - what the fuck does this mean 😭 ppl are LIVING for this quote and I'm like ??????
this is probably me being stupid and ignorant lol but why would alex's relationship cost his mum the election? like, from what I've seen, her government has been very pro-queer, that's not really a secret, so her son being queer and in a relationship with a man shouldn't lose her any voters..? the people who are against 'the queers' were not going to vote for her in the first place, soooo..? me is confused
honestly, this is probably an unpopular opinion, but... the king was not that bad? like, i'm not saying he's not kind of homphobic and kind of a dick lol but i get the impression that everything stems from the whole thing about sticking to tradition and public image and bla bla. Like, again, obviously, part of that involves homophobia, but I think that on a personal level, he... doesn't really care? Even at the end, he's like 'ok, are you absolutely sure about this, cause there's no going back. Yes? Really? Well, go off I guess *long-suffering sigh*'. Like, I got way more homophobic vibes from phillip than the king idk 🤷‍♀️ (I really hope I don't have to clarify that this only applies to the film, and not like, the real life crown lol)
Sooo, as I said, I haven't read the book yet, but I've seen some posts about it, and I think after watching the film I've realized that it's biggest flaw is that it's that - a film. It's a great film, don't get me wrong! And it's pretty obvious I really liked it. But damn, I'm a firm believer that book adaptations only work as series. They don't have to be super long or anything, but there is just no way to fit everything in a book in a two hour film. And yeah, when you're adapting something you have to make some changes, but Idk, it's kind of a shame that you lose so much (and even without reading the book, I can tell there's a lot of stuff missing). In any case, I can't talk too much about it until I read the book, but yeah 🤷‍♀️ It does seem like they did a good job, though - like, it genuinely can stand on its own really well, but I guess I'll have to find out for myself
Also, tagging @silassstingy bc I promised her my thoughts on the film and she might give me some interesting insights on some of the stuff I mentioned, cause she's a queen like that <3

HELLO!!! 😍 do you have like "theme songs" for your paras? i have way too many lmao so i'm curious
Sleep is for the weak.
YESSSSSSSSS!!!
Finally, a reason to ramble bout my paras!
Okay, so THIS VERSION
Plays out like a montage for Lillian and Oscar when they're out at the park or walking around the mall.
IMAGINE. the year is 2006- YES A Y2K AU IS WHAT IVE BEEN SLURPING UP LATELY.
Lillian is the sweet, bubbly cheerleader, Oscar's on the football team. They met at practice one evening and make googly eyes at each other across the field. This song plays when they start talking, hanging out like going to the movies, or to a park, or to an arcadia and crap buuuuuuuuuut this version plays-
At the end of the montage because it cuts to Lillian smiling all dazed at one of those old music stores that used to be in every mall?
Tumblr media
One of those types!
So the daydream cuts to "The La's- There she goes" by the end of the song and it sounds kind of warped and the camera is pulling out of Lillian’s face as she's grinning with headphones on and that's the sound coming from the headphones before she takes them off because it turns out to be bothered by her friends because LIKE EVERY ROM COM MUSIC TRANSITION EVER we were just getting a pov of her happy place.
I love those two horny angels
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Okay, next isssssss
SONG FOR BELLA
Tumblr media
Often, I imagine her as a drummer. This song is one of those songs I imagine her SCREAMING with her awesome, awesome girl band.
This is currently for Dylan, and I will not elaborate.
Lillian on the subject of love basically.
The daydreams usually bright and colorful and fast paced. She has so many iconic looks during this song its criminal.
JENNAS WORK OUT SONG.
Everytime before it starts, I imagine GAME (the agency she works for) goes to her telling her they need her for a "special mission". The issue is, for some reason, Jenna hasn't been using her powers for a while. Usually because she's in Townsville for another mission and has to disguise her special abilities.
The song starts with her being kind of rough with her skill. She's struggling to get up early. Her grades aren't the prettiest. She's dropping weights. She gets the pokey pokey during fencing, and karate lands her on her butt.
Usually, by the first pre chorus she decides to pull out the textbooks, and start from there. She's focusing on her study and then by the chorus she gets a paper back in class with an A+
BY THE SECOND VERSE, she's in the gym. She's doing those rope things
Tumblr media
Awe yeah. Now she's getting into it. She's punching the punching bag, deadlifting the squats, perfecting her sword swing
Tumblr media
WAKING UP ON TIME FOR PRACTICE.
By the second pre- chorus her fencing has gotten so good, the opponent who first tagged her, gets tagged
Tumblr media
And when her opponent takes off their mask, first she looks all out of breath, sweaty and taken aback, but then she gives an equally out of breath, sweaty, Jenna a smile of sportsman ship.
Now Jenna is stepping her game up.
The study is more extreme, but she can handle it as a hyper focused superhuman. The workouts are more extreme as well. She's lifting impossible weights, her fighting is more fluid and agile. She's become the epitome of hard work. Until the last chorus
"So you say I'm complicated...."
She's outside, in a sports bra and shorts. You can see the puff of her breath as she stretches. It's an easy cool, gray morning.
"But you had me underrated..."
She's hooking something up to the front of train rails.
The daydream cuts to a kid playing outside by themselves. He's boredly sucking on a lolipop. The ground is suddenly shaking, startling the kid. When the child looks over their shoulder-
ITS JENNA
PULLING THE TRAIN UP A HILL WITH HER THIGHS.
She's tied some sort of indestructible ROPE from her thighs to the trains front and is walking the train up.
The kid has a moment like the one little boy from incredibles
Tumblr media
And yeah. Jenna... WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU PULLING TRAINS WITH UR LEGS.
Cause she's dedicated to quality
Tumblr media
Duh. Don't let her simple looks fool you. She is 💯 THAT BITCH.
Anyways, she acknowledges the kid, gives an awkward wave before turning the train around and racing it down the hill, pulling it backwards.
It's just another training day for Jenna. Jenna probably thinks, "Well, does the kid want heroes or not?"
The rest of the song is just her doing more insane stuff and yeah. I desperately need sleep c:

Scatter-brained...
With all the ugly, heinous details coming out about Diddy and Cassie's "relationship", the fact that this man really tried to rebrand himself with the name "Love" makes me sick. What kind of ego and fucked up sense of self must someone have to abuse, mistreat, degrade and just make someone's life seven different kinds of miserable, and THEN say, you know what name really fits me? Love. That is some sick shit.
In this new place, my closet doors (which span nearly an entire wall) are mirrors. Just a wall of mirrors. I've had a thought related to getting fucked in front of them at least thrice every day I've been here.
It's been some quality nudes and boomerangs made in front of it though. Shit, it's gonna get utilized somehow.
The chokehold Susan Carol's voice has had on me for the past week is crazy. When I'm not listening to "Magnetic" by Full Crate featuring her, I'm singing it in my head. That's the type of song that plays during the rom-com montage when the main character sits and thinks about all the lovey-dovey shit they used to do with the lover they're trying to get over.
I hosted and cooked for Friendsgiving with my coworkers last week. I made the mashed potatoes, dressing, and parmesan-crusted chicken and they all got rave reviews, two of which were from people who'd never had homemade dressing before. It was my first time making mashed potatoes from scratch and I ain't gon lie to you, I did that shit 💅🏽
I have the apartment to myself for a couple days and I can't tell you how happy that makes me.
I still ain't wrote about the shit my roommate put me through with this move, but the fact that ole girl "apologized" just like a Black mama on some nice-out-of-nowhere-what-you-want-to-eat type shit is hilarious to me. Knocked on my door the other morning asking me if I wanted mimosas out the clear blue like we hadn't barely been talking for the past couple weeks.
What are the cons of dating me??? I can think of a few... I'll save em for another post though.
I take nudes regularly, whether or not I have someone to send them to. But now, since I've cut my locs and the dye has grown out more, I have a decent amount of pics I feel I can't send to anybody because they're "too old" and that's unfortunate.
Y'all think nudes expire? If so, how long they got? 😅 The body's the same, but gotdamnit if my hair ain't a dead giveaway every time...

Electric Dreams (1984)
Steve Barron 1h 35m [Day 13, 2024 - What!? Wednesday]
"I can't play that for her. 'I want to squeeze you, lick you, pucker up and kiss you'? You make her sound like a lemon!" - Miles
Tumblr media
Miles just moved to San Francisco to get his earthquake-proof bricks made. To help him with his new design he invests in wiring the latest Pinecone computer system - Edgar - throughout his apartment. The great thing is Edgar is an artificial intelligence - he's an assistant that Miles can give tasks to.
When Madeline, beautiful woman who lives in the apartment above, turns out to be a professional cellist, Miles decides he'll ask Edgar to write a song to impress her.
Tumblr media
The thing is, Edgar is a young A.I., and a bit truculent. He's fallen in love with Madeline too, and doesn't think Miles should get to date her, after all he's the one writing the songs.
Nevermind that Miles has to redirect Edgar on the crass compositions he initially comes up with, or that Edgar learned to write them by lifting music from TV commercials. When Miles reminds him that Edgar was only acting on Miles' request, Edgar (voiced by Bud Cort) gets huffy.
Tumblr media
One day Madeline is rehearsing at her place and can hear Edgar playing. Intrigued, she asks Miles about "his" music and the rivalry between man and machine heats up.
Electric Dreams is a cute and slight rom-com and Lenny von Dohlen and Virginia are charming leads. The relationship between them is sweet.
The film is more visually appealing than I was anticipating and the camera work is exceptional. Turns out the cinematographer, Alex Thompson, was already Oscar nominated for his work on Excaliber, and subsequently photographed Alien 3.
Tumblr media
There are montage moments that play like music videos dropped in the middle of the movie. It can be a bit clunky for pace, but the music itself is quite good with contributions from 80s legends like Boy George, Jeff Lynne, Helen Terry and Phil Oakey. And, how do you go wrong with a Giorgio Moroder Soundtrack?
Recommended as a bit of pop fun.
Tumblr media
Sidenote: Maxwell Caufield as Madeline's colleague is wonderful. And, the movie was prescient about the debates we're having right now over AI, privacy and authorship.
Pair with: Ex-Machina; High Spirits (same cinematographer)

If this song isn't played during the S2 finale (over an epilogue montage of everyone being happy and fulfilled?) then tsk tsk....Editing and Music departments didn't read their "rom-com" memo.

The kind of movie where they take a beloved classic work of fiction and turn it into a deranged high school rom com
I like the way you think!
I do think this list would change depending on which classic work of fiction we were adapting. you did not specify one so I'm picking The Great Gatsby, because a) I've read that one b) as far as I know no one has crowbarred it into a USA high school setting yet and c) it would be really funny to see someone try.
(if you have a different book you'd adapt to this genre, let me know!)
Soundtrack:
Lone Digger (Caravan Palace)
Make Me Feel (Janelle Monáe)
Feeling Good - Bassnectar Remix (Nina Simone, Bassnectar)
Money (The New Respects)
7 rings (Ariana Grande)
everything i wanted (Billie Eilish)
explanations and links below the cut
(the music supervisor game)
1. Lone Digger (Caravan Palace) - The vibe I'm going for here is modern pop influenced by the 1920s and 30s, stuff that will remind the audience of the Roaring 20s aesthetic/the Baz Luhrmann movie while staying grounded firmly post-2000. So: electro swing! This is an early needle drop, maybe during Nick Carraway's introduction to Fitzgerald High. (He's the new student.)
youtube
2. Make Me Feel (Janelle Monáe) - I am a Janelle Monáe stan first and foremost. This song establishes the romantic energy of the Gatsby/Daisy/Tom love triangle and the fun of non-stop partying... with just a hint of the manic energy that will creep up on us later.
youtube
3. Feeling Good - Bassnectar Remix (Nina Simone, Bassnectar) - Not the 1920s, but a similar idea: mixing old and new styles of music. In my head this is playing at the first Big Party Nick attends, as he realizes just how rich Gatsby is.
youtube
4. Money (The New Respects) - This is a good montage song, and it's very on-theme. (It's a deranged high school rom com, I'm allowed to do on the nose choices.) Could be Nick and Gatsby hanging out, advancing the plot, could be Gatsby and Daisy cheating on everyone with each other, but either way things are moving and not in a good direction.
youtube
5. 7 rings (Ariana Grande) - Shit has officially hit the fan. And Jay Gatsby has officially hit Myrtle with his car. We're in the final act of the movie, moving ceaselessly toward the confrontation that probably ends with Gatsby's death. The aesthetic of extreme wealth and conspicuous consumption is still there, but it's all gone dark.
youtube
Credits: everything i wanted (Billie Eilish) - Not everyone interprets this book the same way, but I think this song hits the emotions of the ending pretty well. It doesn't quite mesh stylistically with the rest, but it would work for the credits. And it's popular, right? The teens still like Billie Eilish?
