I'm high af already and found myself writing Wenovan, Jairo, Willmore, and now I'm fucking writing Futurama (!!!??? What the fuck, how did I even get here???) fic...all in the span of an hour (ETA a few, bc I got distracted...again...and am still high)
What the fuck is wrong with me
Bender's Treasure (T, only because it gets really fkn nerdy, Bender, Leela, Farnsworth, Fry, and Zoidberg on a beach, humor, nerd humor, Futurama drabble it's real fkn short and probably the beginnings of yet another new thing in my pile of shiny things that I like to collect...hey, I'm Bender 🤯, I probably won't remember writing it tomorrow. Fun fact, I have a Kill All Humans tee with Bender on it.) This is dialogue only, no action! Word count, no idea.
"Alright, how much do ya think I can get for this piece of junk I found at the bottom of an abandoned city next to a pile of dookie?"
Professor Farnsworth: "Wa-was it human dookie, or canine dookie? There is a difference, you know."
Leela: "Oh my God, Bender! You're all rusted up! Well, mostly. Did you run out of Rust-Oleum?"
"Nah, I just got partial rust protection for my most sensitive parts, if you know what I mean."
Leela: "Your shoulders are sensitive?"
"Tandy says they're my best feature. She polishes them every chance she gets, eh hee hee hee."
Fry: "Who's Tandy?"
"She's a chatbot I met in a chatroom for uh...singles with similar interests."
Leela: "You met her at AA, didn't you."
"Maybe, but Tandy is handsy, and the sex won't rust my [bleep]. She's a little bit of a homebody, but that's all good 'cuz her joystick ports are unbelievably —"
Leela: Alright, enough about your robosexual conquests. What're you gonna do with that trident?
Zoidberg: May I hold the mystical golden trident?
"No! Keep your filthy claws off my trident. It's mine! Mine. It's a mydent."

I rewatched The Social Network for its 13th anniversary. One of my favorite films of all time, and one that convinced me of Armie's extraordinary acting skills. The film is a masterpiece on every level, one of the greatest biopics of the 21st century. In my opinion also David Fincher's magnum opus, together with Se7en, if one could have more than 1. With an inimitable performance of the KILLER soundtrack.
And Armie Hammer was in it!!!
A few review quotes about Armie's performance:
* Hammer and Garfield make the glue that hold it together.
* Although the stand out award I'd like to give to Mr. Armie Hammer. His role is just Tailor fit, literally as his jacket. From his statuesque as a rower all through out as a dapper at Harvard, he is just believable in that field. He is after after all the Winklevoss BrotherS.
* Armie hammer is a best combination of grace and conceit how he played wealthy twins.
* David Fincher's cool, stylish direction and great performances by Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield and Armie Hammer make The Social Network a worthwhile watch.
* Now that some of the dust has settled, there’s one name that keeps coming up as a comic scene-stealer and awards dark horse: Armie Hammer, who plays entitled twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. In the movie, a Winklevoss twin declares, “I’m six-foot-five, 220 pounds, and there’s two of me,” but since there’s only one of Hammer, that meant the actor was often acting opposite a body double whose face he’d be digitally grafted onto in postproduction (and when you consider the notorious amount of takes that an exacting director like David Fincher requires, Hammer’s nimble pair of performances is all the more impressive).
* My favorite description of the twins in the film comes from Alison Willmore's review, in which she writes, "Hammer is infinitely amusing in his dual role, exuding privilege and looking like something grown in a vat of J. Crew catalogs and Aryan race propaganda."
* No one could have played Sean Parker like Justin Timberlake, and Armie Hammer playing the Winklevoss twins is fantastic too.
* The quasi-pair of performances generated Hammer Oscar buzz at the time, and he has been a marquee mainstay ever since, appearing in films like J. Edgar (2011), The Lone Ranger (2013), The Birth of a Nation (2016), Call Me By Your Name (2017), Cars 3 (2017), Sorry to Bother You (2018), and On the Basis of Sex (2018).
* What makes Armie Hammer’s acting performance outstanding is his use of specific body language with each of the two characters.
The different way he moves, his vocal cadences , and facial expressions makes it so easy to believe that these were two different people on the screen.
When Armie played Cameron Winklevoss, he played him more uptight and more formal. The formality also came out in his dialogue. His diction was more precise.
When he played Tyler Winklevoss, he leaned back and was more laid back. His speech pattern was more fluid and he even used curse words as Tyler’s character.
I think that Armie’s performance was so great that I would easily see him being a contender for best supporting actor at the next Academy Awards ceremony.
