I don’t know what I was expecting, but opening the film on Brendan Fraser masturbating to gay porn that cause him to have heart spasms was-um- not one of them.

Just watched The Whale and now I still feel like I need to digest it. I've left my pop corn bag half full and at some points I almost feared that my phagophobia was about to struck full force again. So far, the most disturbing movie I've watched lately. Closed, claustrophobic, stuffed, maybe reiterative sometimes and yet so strangely hopeful? I didn't expect to find so much trust, and hope hidden under this gigantic self destruction feast. I mean, "I don't believe people are able not to care" is a pretty strong line to insert in the most climatic point of the movie, no?
The movie wants you to feel sympathetic for Liz's character but I hated her. I found her patronising, controlling and even malicious at times. That wheelchair was pretty clearly a way to prevent Charlie from moving all together and the way she tried to dictate if and how his daughter can visit was a giant red flag about her character, at least to me. The missionary kid started well and antithetic to the stifling presence of Liz's character but then the way he exited the movie was so.. pointless? Like, literally what was the point of his character, just some half baked personal story that served to show how Ellie's character can actually care? Because yeah, I can see the point in that but definitely could be developed differently.
The rest: Brendan Fraser deserved his oscar, both for the ferocity of his hatred towards his self, his apathy, and his delicate, unshakeable hope.

*at a grant nash BBQ*
buck: *staring off into space*
eddie: he's about to say something really funny or absolutely horrifying
tommy: what?
hen: just wait
buck: did you know these two orcas trained other orcas to kill sharks by taking out their liver and testicles?
eddie: yep horrifying
tommy: wait, really?
buck: yup, off the coast of africa there's these two orcas called port and starboard and they hunt sharks to eat their liver and testicles, they tag team them, one goes for their fins while the other takes out the liver, so far they've taken down five great whites, they even killed khaleesi, who was being tracked and traced for research purposes
tommy: oh my god really?
hen: *looks at tommy and smiles*
eddie: *whispers to hen* he's perfect for him
hen: *whispers back* i know!
buck: yeah! port and starboard have even started teaching other orcas to do the same! so far port and starboards record of how many sharks killed in a day is seventeen!
tommy: oh my god, that's insane baby, what else have port and starboard done?
buck: well they also hunt copper sharks and some fish, they even chased the great whites away from africa for seven weeks! but this isn't even the first time orcas have done something like this, in the early 1900's there was this orca called old tom who would help whalers hunt baleen whales, he even tugged the boats into the right position to get the whales, this happened in the port of eden new south whales in australia, you can actually go and see old tom's skeleton in eden killer whale meuseum, and on his teeth you can see marks from where he would pull the roaps! and old tom even has missing teeth because the whalers had this thing called "law of tounge" where they would strap the dead whales down so old tom and his pod could eat the lips and tongues, on the night where he lost his teeth logan, one of the davidson whaler friends tried to bring the whale in instead of pinning it down for old tom to eat, and old tom was pissed and tried to stop him, and he lost teeth, old tom died from starvation, when old tom died they thought he was 35, but the davidson family swore old tom helped three generations of their family with whaling, old tom was actually in his 90's when he died, they called old toms pod the killers of eden which-
tommy: would make an amazing true crime shark podcast name

I love how now Din knows he gets to keep Grogu—that he’s his son now—he’s officially in full dad mode: talking to him more, giving Mandalorian lessons, telling people his name, snuggling, etc. He’s letting himself be a father now. He’s letting himself love.

Egooooooo we will get the continuation of ch 7 this monthhhhhh (at the end of the month as usual🥹) (squeals like lilia subordinate but in a fan girl way)
me, emerging from Deadline Hell to this most excellent news:
I was NOT expecting it so soon! I think this may actually be the shortest time between story updates yet?! (at least since the early days...episodes 3 and 4 feel so long ago now...) give me the Silver backstory, I'M READY.
oh, and because I wasn't losing my mind enough already,
AHHH WELL GOOD THING I ONLY WASTED HALF MY KEYS BEFORE I GAVE UP ON CERBERUS ORTHO, I GUESS
(I am just going to be absolutely useless through all of June, I'm so sorry)

The tone shift between books is wild. You go from "Gideon's Gay Adventure" to "Harrows House of Existential Dread and Autolobotomy" to "It's Always Sunny in Nona-delphia"

Okay aside from that time Wild broke the Master Sword I think this is the scariest face I’ve ever seen Sky make. Dink you better leave his successors alone, he’s liable to go godslayer on you

What's your favorite DnDads Players vs. DM hostility. I'll go first mine's when the dm straight up wrote one of his pcs out of existence and made up a whole new guy that took his place and then called up the brother of the the player whose character got evaporated to play as a new member in the party.
