Babe wake up new Vulgate chapter just dropped

Lost manuscript of Merlin and King Arthur legend read for the first time after centuries hidden inside another book

For centuries, an intriguing sequel to the tale of Merlin has sat unseen within the bindings of an Elizabethan register. Cutting-edge techni

Bravo also to Robert Eggers for probably the least bad depiction of Transylvania in Western vampire cinematic history:

1. Having actual Romanian actors doing the dialogue in Romanian. You'd think this is a low bar to clear but nope.

2. High quality costume design that looks pretty accurate to 19th century Romanian and Roma peasantry, even down to specific braided hairstyles from the Transylvanian region.

3. Depiction of Roma people but refrains from having them as some typical Hollywood exoticizing role like a magical fortune teller etc. They're in like half a scene, just chilling and playing music in front of an inn.

4. Use of the word "strigoi" which are actual spirits in Romanian folklore, unlike the term "vampire" which didn't exist in Romania.

5. Sorry to the Nosferatu moustache haters, but a Romanian nobleman would have had that exact facial hair.

6. Depiction of religion (nuns, churches) that actually looks like Eastern Orthodoxy and not some vaguely spooky goth Christianity.

Okay, it's a little hard to see because I took a screenshot of a dark, grainy bootleg recording, but I really loved the attention to detail of this elderly woman's attire from the scene inside the inn.

Just look at that braided hairstyle, which you can also see in this 1930's photograph of a woman from the Hunedora county in Transylvania.

I saw Nosferatu a couple days ago😋

[kazz-brekker]

in dracula there is a cowboy and the female lead lives. in nosferatu there is no cowboy and the female lead dies. ergo, the existence of a cowboy is highly important for the survival of the female lead in a gothic vampire story.

Lucius to a bunch of men who were torn from their (likely massacred) families and homelands and rendered mere entertainment for their coloniser: Up until now you fought for nothing worthy, we must now fight for my the empire!!

Gladiators: wasn't your entire family murdered by Rome?

Lucius (for some reason): don't worry about it

[anragaire]

I adored the pause between Tom saying 'Now let the song begin' and the rest of the song. It was just a little thing, but it's lovely how it reads as Tom saying 'right, now let Gandalf's part of Ilúvatar's song begin', and what a kind and appropriate way for it to begin – enmeshed in all things hobbity, earthy and good.
