First you procrastinate on the task because it is not a big enough deal to get done urgently. Then you procrastinate on the task because it has become such a big deal that doing it is overwhelming. You would think that this implies a middle point where it is just big enough of a deal to get done easily, however the inherent perversity of the universe's causal geometry prevents this

I think we were all too harsh on Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World’s End in 2007. Any movie that has a pirate officiate a wedding while helming a ship and fighting off undead sailors and saying shit like “Dearly Beloved, we be gathered here today… TO NAIL YER GIZZARDS TO THE MAST, YE POXY CUR!” with an epic musical score playing is probably at least a 8/10 for that alone

wild day. let's put on some punisher to relax before sleeping.

#the punisher #this is. indeed. a mood

absolutely obsessed with silver’s character. you meet him in season one and his whole thing is that he’s just a little guy. except he’s not and he’s already manipulating his way into the crew and flint’s mind. by season four you know how powerful he can be and looking back is so crazy because like. how much of it was true? for almost two seasons you’re led to believe he’s not as ruthless as flint but he literally murders a guy in his first scene. i am insane about him

TITANIC (1997) dir. James Cameron

#titanic

[wanderdreamer]

The one part of Titanic I will absolutely never recover from is at the very end:

Jack, the person she loved most is the one waiting for her up the stairs at the clock. As you get closer to Jack, the other people Rose was more familiar with and/or cared for her are the ones standing nearest to him, with Jack’s third class friends she met and danced with being toward the bottom of the stairs and Fabrizio is even leaning on the rail with his foot on the first step (hon. mention to Mr. Murdoch who saw Jack and Rose cavorting on deck and smiled and laughed about it).

But you know who the only other character is that’s not only fully on the staircase, but several steps up from everyone else?

Mr. Andrews 🥺

He was the only one of Rose’s first-class peers to show her respect, value her intelligence, and show genuine concern about her making it off the Titanic alive.

And it both warms my heart and tears me apart that next to Jack, he was clearly the next closest person she held dear. And I know everyone smiles and greets her as she walks by but Thomas Andrews just looks so fucking proud of her. He’s so proud that she made it out and lived her life.

So I think it’s safe to say that in return, Thomas Andrews was the one who cared for Rose the most, aside from Jack.

When she walks in and people start noticing her, you can see Fabrizio speaking to Mr. Andrews before spotting Rose and gesturing toward her, and UGH they both just look so happy to see her.

So I know the end is up for interpretation on whether it’s a dream or she died. But personally I choose to believe she passed peacefully in her sleep and was finally reunited with the people she cared about most, who had been patiently waiting for the last 84 years for her to rejoin them.

Excuse me while I go cry now 🥹

For the record.

The reason why Jack does not survive, regardless of wether he could fit or not, is that Jack represents the victims of the Titanic and everything that was lost.

While Rose represents the survivors who somehow made it and got to tell the tale.

In the end, all the survivors of the Titanic lost something that day, which they could never recover. May it be friends, family, lovers or the life they had before, it's something that sunk with the Titanic and they would never recover.

It's the irony that a cold, useless piece of rock survives, but the bright, warm soul full of potential perishes.

Me, being tired of people trying to explain that Rose didn't really love Jack, that she only loved an idea of ​​him, that it was all superficial and hormonal...

Like, I'm the first to not believe in love at first sight in reality, but in fiction it's different.

Rose and Jack are symbolically coded as soulmates by the story, even before they meet.

That's why they fall so quickly in love with each other when they finally meet.

Rose and Jack notably share a love for the art world. Something that Rose is the only one around her and that no one understands. Jack is a literal artist. They even like the same artists !

Rose is someone who is locked away and yearns for freedom. Jack is literally a free spirit.

Rose rejects the inherently misogynist and patriarchal society, just like Jack.

Rose has a fire burning inside her and immense strength, just like Jack, but he is the only one who allows her to finally express all of that.

There is also the simple fact that they are able to understand each other very quickly. For example, Jack understanding that Rose would never jump. Or, the fact that Rose already knew that Jack was innocent for stealing the necklace, as she told him when she went to find him. For what ? Because as Jack told her as he was being taken away, she knows him. The fact that Jack trusts her completely, even when things seem very bad ? (hello the ax ?!) And so does she ?

Or also, the rather funny fact that they talk at the same time when they are annoyed with the guy who is lecturing them about a door when the boat is sinking.

All this to say that I'm tired of people trying to rationalize fictional romances. Especially when they are as well constructed as Rose & Jack.

I'm already tearing my hair out at those who say that we shouldn't see Jane Eyre or Wuthering Heights as romances...

#titanic #yeah my rewatch of it did coincide with the 112th anniversary of the actual event #it happens

James and Lizzie here look like they're childhood best friends who still share the same sense of humour from when they were ten years old (and I love that for them)
