Is this that Sufjan Stevens y'all are always telling me to listen to

[braindamageeclipse-blog]

Yes. Yes, it is.

K but in all honesty Tumblr sleeps on Ladyhawke so much

A) It was made in the 80s so every now and then (like in the beginning of the fucking movie) there’s really inappropriate synth/electric guitar music and slo mo shots and lens flares and it’s fucking delightful

B) It’s about a knight and a lady who fell in love but a creepy ass priest (of course) wanted her so I forget how he pulled it off but now she is a hawk by day and a lady by night (TITLE BUT WITH AN “E” ADDED IN THE END FOR NO REASON) and he’s a man by day and a wolf by night and they only see each other in their human forms for half a second when the sun is rising (or setting I guess) and it’s The Most Tragic Love Story Of Our Time

C) She’s stunning but not completely incompetent; he’s broody and badass and did I mention he turns into what amounts to a giant dog it’s like your boyfriend turns into Ghost what’s not to like

D) Yes Matthew Broderick is there and yes he doesn’t really fit the vibe but mostly he’s there to be you.  He’s there to be like “omg what a tragic love story I must help the otp” he’s there to be like “wow Michelle Pfeiffer’s face was carved by the gods and also she turns into a bird of prey how amazing” and he’s kind of a flop but you tolerate him, it’s the 80s, Ferris can stay

E) I forget exactly how the plot is resolved but let me assure you that it is as over the top and ridiculous as you’d expect, full of ominous church things

Watch it.  Live it.  LADYHAWKE.

Every word is truth.

[nofreetrees]

Can confirm, this movie is amazing. Also, as someone who watched it for the first time last year at the age of 27, I can safely say that it is immensely enjoyable even now. it’s ridiculous and I loved every second of it.

[spaceshipoftheseus]

THIS IS NOT EVEN TO MENTION THE GRUMPY SELF-LOATHING ALCOHOLIC HERMIT WHO BETRAYED THEM TO THE EVIL PRIEST ACCIDENTALLY AND HELPS THEM ACHIEVE VENGEANCE AS PENANCE

LADYHAWKE IS THE BEST

[nonelvis]

I was going to say, “I’m sorry, but discussions of this film can’t leave out the awesomeness that is Leo McKern … okay, fine, I was a giant nerd as a child who loved him in Rumpole of the Bailey, and a giant nerd I remain, I guess,” and then someone mentioned him. So thank you.

I have lost track of how many times I’ve seen this movie, including more than once in the theater. Everything about it, including the now lolariously 80s soundtrack, is fantastic.

[braindamageeclipse-blog]

I liked Leo McKern’s character immediately when he came up to the walls of the monastery and asked, “Bloody hell, it’s not Lent again, is it?...oh, thank God.” Also the original review is factual truth.

Larry David and Bernie Sanders are apparently ... distant cousins?

The comedian, who impersonated the senator on "SNL" during the 2016 election, said he learned about the connection while filming an episode of a PBS series.

“When are you going to have a baby? How can you not want a baby? Everyone wants a baby. Just because you’re almost 50 doesn’t mean you can’t still have a baby. [Female celebrity’s name here] is 55 and she just had a baby! I knew this one other lesbian this one time and she had a baby! Why aren’t you having a baby like that lesbian did? Lesbians can have babies, you know, I read that somewhere. Why don’t you adopt a baby? You could still adopt a baby. You can’t possibly be happy without a baby. You’re going to regret never having a baby. The thing is--MADISON, HUNTER, IF YOU DON’T GET OUT OF THAT POOL RIGHT NOW I’M GONNA BEAT YOUR ASSES BLACK AND BLUE!--you can’t understand true love and caring unless you’ve had a baby. Why don’t you have a baby? Everyone I know has a baby. Only bad selfish people don’t have babies. What, do you think you’re too good to have a baby? There’s nothing--OLIVIA, I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD PUT THAT DOWN RIGHT NOW!--like the utterly selfless devotion you feel toward a baby...”

Degrees of secondhand fandom:

I don’t watch/read/listen to it, but I follow the summaries on the wiki

I rarely pursue information about it, but I have enough incidental contact with the core fandom that I’ve picked it up via osmosis

I strive to avoid it, but I’ve been indoctrinated against my will by the fucking memes

I can cite the canon chapter and verse, but I have no recollection of how or why I acquired this knowledge, and that concerns me
