All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) | dir. Edward Berger

[showmethesneer]

One thing i loved about this All Quiet On The Western Front adaptation is how they focus on food.

There's a scene from the book that i will never forget about how the rats crawled on their faces while they slept to get to the bread stored under their pillows. That imagery has been with me since i read it back in high school. And i know starvation and food rationing is a common aspect to focus on in war movies, but i really love how this film handled it.

Whenever we see soldiers eating in this film, they are huddled together, eating quickly, messily. They are grateful for the smallest morsel. They steal food. They risk their lives for food.

Whenever we see the wealthy, the politicians, the older men who are not in the trenches eating, there is tons of space between them. They eat elegant dishes. They are in no rush. They sit alone in the fancy dining car of the train with all their courses laid out. They sit the entire length of a great dining table apart while chatting casually about their upbringings. They complain about their perfectly good croissants not being freshly made that day. This meal is not life or death for them. It's not snatching a hurried bite under the worst conditions imaginable, with another blood-stained, mud-covered soldier by their side; it's a leisure activity with no sense of community. No impending doom.

The danger is in a particular location... it increases towards a center... the center of danger is here... of a particular size and shape, and below us.

The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours.

The danger is to the body, and it can kill.

The form of the danger is an emanation of energy.

The danger is unleashed only if you substantially disturb this place physically. This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.

I have mixed thoughts on sex work. I love sex, but I hate work!

[kybercrystalgems]

“Yeah, we hate seeing you work too!”

how does this post keep getting better

[probablyqueerrpgideas]

[tronmike82]

But that’s not as funny :(

[probablyqueerrpgideas]

idk my dude. “I just wanted to cheer up this peasant and give them hope for a better tomorrow, but instead they overthrew the local nobles and now we’ve got to teach a bunch of peasants how to govern a kingdom”

is at least twice as funny as

“this person has sex” especially if your DM is uncomfortable with role playing seduction and such

Frank Oz and Jim Henson ad-lib as Fozzie and Kermit in this test footage for the first Muppet movie, and honestly it’s pure gold.

[evanelleonyx]

This is a professional shitpost roleplay.

[annabellioncourt]

I’m crying becuase this is something I’ve never seen before, something original of that era of the Muppets with both Oz and Henson working on one of my favorite movies, but also becuase this is the funniest thing I have seen in mONTHS.

*missing the charging port on my phone* don’t think about it don’t think about it don’t think about it

[mortimermcmirestinks]

my two favourite things about this

everyone knows what this is

the scene was an adaptation of a scene from the original novel where instead of a charging port on a phone, it’s a winding key in a pocketwatch. I like to imagine people having this exact same kind of thought when they missed the watch keyhole 100 years ago

Oh fuck yes Twitter is bringing back the 1970’s Maoist approach to gayness

[oysters-aint-for-me]

ok but hear me out- what if we just let them fix the economy and then stay gay

[moveslikebucky]

[thecrowssideblog]

Once they fix the economy let's tell them it was the global warming that made us gay.
