Deadfall (1993)
Tumblr media
Deadfall is a unique experience. Early on, the film lets you know it’s the equivalent of a plane colliding with another. There’s a lame voiceover that desperately tries to evoke the feel of a gritty film noir, but the dialogue is lame. Once the plot gets started, every development is choreographed so far ahead of time, you begin predicting what will happen next to keep yourself entertained. The problem is that you keep one finger on the ledge. You cling to hope. You think the movie is a “1”, so your predictions are at that level. In reality, the writing is at a “0” level. Combined with the mind-boggling direction and performances so insane they’re legendary, you’ve got a movie so bad it’s hilarious. Just thinking about the plot makes me laugh.
After con artist Joe Dolan (Michael Biehn) accidentally kills his father, Mike (James Coburn), during a scam, he’s distraught. Choosing to carry on the old man’s dying wish, he infiltrates his father’s twin's operation (James Coburn also plays Lou). When he meets beautiful Diane (Sarah Trigger), and her off-kilter boyfriend, Eddie (Nicolas Cage), he may have bitten off more than he can chew.
The reason to see Deadfall is Nicolas Cage – apparently doing a favor (or is it getting revenge?) on his brother, who directs. You thought he was nutty in Ghost Rider. That was nothing compared to The Wicker Man. The next level is the remarkable Vampire’s Kiss. Above even that is his portrayal of Eddie in Deadfall. It’s surreal. You keep watching thinking it’s an act, that the character can’t possibly be that loopy, but he is. It’s so scary it’s wonderful. It’s so terrible it’s awesome. No words can describe it, no gifs or memes can capture what it’s like to see this man throw all acting conventions out the window and go for broke. Even seasoned bad movie connoisseurs will be picking their jaws off the floor.
Cage alone makes this a 5-star “So Bad it’s Good Movie”. Even without him, there are plenty of tasty nuts in this log. The twists would be shocking if you didn’t see them coming. The ones you don’t are nonsensical and make this a picture you want to re-watch again to double-check that you didn’t miss something crucial. The sex scenes are so weird and oddly paced they become awkward and hilarious. When you think the madness is waning, here comes Charlie Sheen as… the devil? You scratch your head, thinking this trip to the madness must have finally peaked. Then, the movie apparently decides “You know what? I like gangster movies… but what I like even more is James Bond”. What were they thinking?
It’s only a matter of time before Deadfall becomes better known among bad movie enthusiasts. With Nicolas Cage’s insane performance and the other well-known stars found throughout, I’m shocked it isn’t already. My advice? Get yourself a copy of this film on DVD and show it to your friends without warning. Even better, make sure the DVD you buy comes with the slip-sleeve, whose design is so misleading that the reveal of the real cover (much more accurate) adds an extra layer to the enjoyment of Deadfall. (On DVD, August 27, 2017)

trigger warning // nazi history, misogyny
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Shiv's reaction to Mencken breaks my heart :(
"Kinder, Küche, Kirche" is a German phrase meaning "children, kitchen, church" that was used during the German Empire to define a woman's societal role. It now carries a derogatory connotation and represents an outdated view of women in contemporary Western society. During the Third Reich, the Nazi regime prioritized women's roles as mothers and homemakers, promoting policies and propaganda centered around "Kinder" (children) and "Küche" (kitchen). Women were encouraged to stay at home and focus on their household responsibilities. Employment discrimination against women was widespread, with certain professions reserved exclusively for men. After World War II, the phrase continued to be discussed in feminist and anti-feminist literature, often criticized for portraying women's roles as limited and restrictive.

“O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fire of hell, lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are in most need of Thy mercy. O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us…”
Father Paul is rocking back and forth, holding one of your hands with both of his own. He keeps repeating the prayer while Sarah tries everything she can to bring you back for the second time in an hour.
It doesn’t seem like an overdose. It doesn’t seem like an aneurysm or – or a heart attack. In fact, your heart is working at an incredible pace. And you’re burning up. And you’re bleeding. The nose is gushing a steady stream and blood is starting to trickle through the closed eyelids combined with tears and it’s coming out from your fingernails, covering the priest’s hands in thin rivulets.
Sarah has never seen this before.
And we're back!
Again!
To those of you who have held on this long - thank you. I know this fic has been slow to update, but I hope I'm crafting something that's high quality. I adore you, and you deserve that.
So, you know what this is all building to. Maybe not "how" just yet - but the inevitable is coming. *Of course* I mean a big fat confrontation between Sheriff Hassan and Monsignor "Liar Liar Pants On Fire"
This is where it all starts to get real, my loves. Hang on to your rosaries! From here on out, there's a dearth of sunshine and pop tarts till story's end.
Also, it should be noted that I have absolutely no medical training and your suspension of disbelief is going to have to kick in.
I'm a doctor but I'm not *that* kind of doctor.
Tagging some mutes and supporters new and old this time.
*mwah*

okay but a fic following tommy in jackson as he watches sarah’s look-alike grow up and have her baby. maybe he develops his own relationship with this girl and her kid, and it helps him deal with losing sarah??????? perhaps????? stay with me!
like we see how hard it was for joel to see her just once in 1x06. assuming tommy’s been in jackson for years, which i do, he has probably watched this young woman grow into an adult, getting struck with that pain of distant familiarity every single time he sees her. i imagine it would lowkey torture him until he truly confronts his grief over sarah and the life she could’ve lived
and imagine when she—im gonna name her kiara bc i hate when characters don’t have names—gets pregnant. tommy has to watch as kiara’s belly gets bigger and bigger, watch as the jackson community frets over her hand and foot because jackson takes extra special care of it’s pregnant residents, watch from the sidelines as kiara gets a future that sarah will never have while looking just like her
but THEN maybe he gets to know her a little bit???? maybe kiara knows he does housework and eventually asks maria if anyone can help fix-up and baby-proof her little two-bedroom house to prepare for the little one. maria knows tommy would be the perfect man for the job, but she also knows that he keeps careful distance from kiara on purpose
she sees the way his shoulders tense and his easy expression drops every time she’s in his line of sight. she saw how one time, when kiara had come over to talk to maria while she was sitting with him, tommy could barely handle looking at her up close: he ended up staring at his plate and clearing it—even the squash medley, which she knows he fucking hates—until he had reason to leave the hall completely.
but there truly is no one else she would rather help kiara; the only other person that does housework as good as tommy is fuckin jacob, and jacob is seth’s best friend, which means he’s a lowkey bigoted asshole that will only do “favors” for maria if he gets something in return. she, frankly, doesn’t want him anywhere near kiara. so maria still talks to tommy about it, and because he’s the most selfless loving man she’s ever met, he agrees. they talk about backup plans and what tommy should do if he gets too triggered—they’ve been working at distress tolerance and detecting when his mind is going fuzzy, so he knows to get straight to their home and wait for maria when it happens. privately, maria talks to kiara and tells her that tommy is still dealing with some stuff that triggers him and might need breaks once in ahwile; she knows to go get maria immediately if this happens
so tommy helps kiara out, and along the way they get to talking and being more friendly with each other. kiara reveals that she’s extremely nervous to be a mom, that she’s doing it alone (the asshole that was with her split jackson when he foundnout because men still be menning in their apocalypse). she tells tommy that she’s never been more scared to do anything in her whole life, and she lived alone as a young girl in FEDRA-run QZ
and suddenly, tommy realizes he has had almost this exact conversation before. with joel. he remembers standing by and watching joel freak out over baby-proofing their place, raving and ranting: how am i supposed to do this, tommy? we have too many fucking cabinets—look at all of these fucking cabinets! aye, im gonna ruin her. and tommy had been speechless in the face of all that fear. he knows how scared they both were, and he knows what he would’ve wanted to hear then, too. with the gift of time and wisdom, he finally knows what to say
so he comforts kiara, and by some miracle, it actually works. he tells her about joel raising sarah alone, and how terrifying it all seemed, right up until she actually got to them: he tells her how all that terror turned into love the moment he held that little ray of sunshine in his arms. he tells her about how sarah used to be what he and joel called a boo-boo magnet, constantly falling over and knocking into shit, always having bumps, scrapes, and bruises as a result. most importantly, he told kiara, she was always just fine: as long as she felt loved, sarah was always just fine. kiara’s baby would be just fine, too
and this convo changes kiara’s whole perspective, her whole vibe. tommy see’s the difference in her now, when he spots her in the dining hall or walking across town with a hand on her belly, tense with excitement instead of anxiety. he feels the difference in himself, too: he’s no longer struck with the abstract pain of remembrance as he sees her, now. he just feels honest friendship, true familiarity, and a rush of fond protectiveness for her that reminds him of the way he felt for sarah. it doesn’t hurt, or at least not the same way. it feels good, knowing kiara as kiara, not as the ghost of his niece. it feels right
she always makes sure to stop and talk to him when they cross paths, asking him about his work around town (or teasing him about he and maria, because at this point they’re trying to keep it lowkey but. kiara knows. talia knows. half of jackson suspects it and kiara wants the inside scoop okay so SPILL tommy just tell me!!!!!). somehow, tommy has developed a good relationship with the girl he thought he’d never have the guts to speak to
when kiara is on her last couple weeks of pregnancy, mostly bedridden and definitely ready to give birth, she asks tommy to stop by once every few days to have lunch or dinner with her. it always suprises him, but he always goes. they talk mostly about raising children: how different it seems to be post-2003, how scared kiara still is even despite her new confidence, how tumultuous sarah’s first few months were. he realizes, later, that he hasn’t talked about sarah this much to anyone but maria since she’s passed. he finds their conversations ease the ache in him more than avoiding kiara ever could’ve
when kiara has the baby, tommy accidentally becomes a quasi-godfather-uncle-grandparent without even having been asked. it’s clear that, from their time together, kiara is very fond of him—judging from the way her baby, kelsey, always settles down and stares at him in wonder whenever he’s around, it’s clear she likes him too. when kelsey becomes old enough to smile, she’s never ever around tommy without grinning and giggling, enamored by his silly face and silly voice and silly mustache, which she’s always trying to pull off. when kelsey becomes old enough to walk, kiara can’t bring her anywhere near tommy without the toddler trying her best to baby-sprint over to him. more than once, she’s fallen smack-down onto her face and gotten right back up, arms outstretched to tommy as she continues determinedly to toddle over. when kelsey becomes old enough to speak, she’s constantly calling for him and babbling to him when kiara finally brings her over. kelsey can’t even really pronounce her t’s until she’s three, so for awhile she calls tommy “mommy,” and kiara thinks it’s hilarious. she’s called mama anyway, so it doesn’t really matter to her that her baby calls this semi-random grown man mommy. everytime, it makes tommy want to simultaneously laugh and cry
by the time joel shows up, kelsey is six and not-so-obsessed with tommy anymore. her and kiara still join him and maria for dinner at least once a month, and kelsey has distant memories of calling tommy mommy, then uncle mommy, then finally naming him tim-tam-tommy when she turned four, the nickname for him that still stuck. he thinks about warning joel about her, when they talk in the bar, because he sure as hell could’ve used a goddamn warning—but the conversation goes left, so they never get there.
when joel sees kiara and kelsey for the first time, it’s hits him as hard as it once did tommy
tagging @ameerawrites because i feel like u always indulge in tommy trauma brainrot with me and @clickergossip bc this idea started on tommy day :)

I can't romance Karlach and I am legitimately devastated.
I guess this is what I get for playing a new game for once. A UI I have to mod all to hell to make it payable and a bug for the ONE romanceable character I was really excited about.

So I’m playing Persona 5, and I have started referring to Makoto Nijima as “Komaru Makoto” because she has Komaru’s VA and she is the third video game Makoto I have encountered. (I just finished the second palace so no spoilers 🙏)
To differentiate me and my friend, instead of using their last names, have also come up with nicknames for Makoto Naegi (Good Boy Makoto) and Makoto Kagutsuchi (Maskoto). Another alternative for Nijima is “Girl Makoto”.

I don’t usually like posting before and afters but I stopped binge drinking and lost 15 pounds 😄 proud of myself and just feeling some type of way!!!!
Well rounded health is so important yet so difficult to achieve, at least for me. Drinking less made me happier and my clothes fitting nicely makes it even better. I can still have a beer or cocktail here and there, I just finally learned how to… stop.
Here’s to another year of having self control while still being able to enjoy myself ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Sarah: So it’s really true then?
Tumblr media
Nyla: (sighs) Yeah. My mom called me this morning. Apparently Jackson’s mom called her all hysterical and in tears
Sarah: Are we sure he didn’t just run away?
Nyla: You know what he’s like. The only thing Jackson loves more than himself is his dad’s money.
Tumblr media
Sarah: And the police?
Nyla: They’re doing everything they can, his parents have even hired a P.I but so far... nothing
Sarah: Wow...
Tumblr media
Sarah: Are you sure you don’t want one? I have two more in the bag
Nyla: Nah, not hungry
Sarah: Okay...
Tumblr media
Sarah: Anyway. I’m not saying he deserved it but...
Nyla: He really was a son of a b***. But I wouldn’t have wished this on him
Tumblr media
Sarah: Yeah...
Tumblr media
Olivier: Something smells like burgers
Sarah: You can have one of my spares. I’ve kind of lost my appetite a little anyway.
Olivier: Thanks
Tumblr media
Olivier: Want some?
Nyla: Not hungry, thanks
Olivier: Okay
Tumblr media
Olivier: So who’s a son of a b***?
Sarah: ...Jackson
Olivier: And what did he do now?
Tumblr media
Sarah: You didn’t tell him?
Nyla: ...
Olivier: What happened?
Tumblr media
Sarah: A few days ago, Jackson went missing
Olivier: What?
Sarah: Actually, the police are treating it as a kidnapping since no one’s heard from him since. Not his friends or even his family. 
Tumblr media
Olivier: Oh gosh, I wonder if Jackie knows...
Nyla: It’s for the best she never finds out. She’s such a softie she’ll lose her mind and find some way to blame herself.
Olivier: Yeah, you’re right

Episode 2!!!
David is a dick!!!
Like this guy is so frustrating and such a prick I hate him! I love that Sarah is telling him to shut up and is sticking up for Nick.
Along with Tao’s mum she’s my favourite mum in the series.
Charlie telling different people that he’ll eat later or he’s already eaten 😭 I’m nervous for when his eating disorder storyline starts being more prominent because I feel it was well done in the books so I’m nervous to see how it’s shown in the show. They’ve adapted some of the storylines really well though so I’m hopeful that it’s portrayed in a good way (that sounds weird I mean that they do a good job portraying it lol)
Tao is feeling left out and like he’s losing Elle while Elle is feeling a similar way I just want them to talk to each other please 😭
I just need Ben to go away! I understand why Imogen doesn’t believe Nick because she’s known Ben a really long time, Nick won’t say why he’s a bad person and Ben is really manipulative I hope it’s cleared up soon because I don’t want her to get hurt.
