Hamnet.

Project Hail Mary is wonderful bc it’s the kind of story that would normally be a sweeping romance - they were destined to find each other, they love each other to the point of saving their entire worlds - but its not a romance! Friendship can be the thing that propels you to save the world!

If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn’t be, and what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see? Alice in Wonderland (1951) dir. Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson, Hamilton Luske

god. it’s just. it’s dreams by the cranberries. it’s the montage of them all voting yes. it’s orla’s little smiley face in the box. it’s the live footage of the troubles. it’s erin’s speech. it’s the way that the last shot is of grandpa joe and anna jumping together out of the voting hall. it’s the sheer symbolism of youth and age being joyful and hopeful together. god.

@pscentral event 02: comedy ↳ DERRY GIRLS (2018-2022)

[insert-penname-here]

forget Bonds girls, I want to be a Blanc girl, where I buddy cop up with the silly southern man to solve a mystery and then accept the keys he hands me to burn my foes down while he goes into the other room for plausible deniability and sips whiskey

[birdieisnotwriting]

first and foremost a knives out movie is about women of color subverting and getting the better of the systems that have oppressed them. but after that it’s about benoit blanc making a food metaphor his whole personally for a week and then using said food metaphor to dunk on rich people and solve a murder

[ramenyul]

at its core the knives out trilogy is literally about helping people and being a good person. benoit is a side character in all of them because it's always centred around the main character's struggles with being Good and Kind even when they have every right not to be. kindness always wins. rian johnson the man that you are
