If anything I say or reblog pisses you off, you either: A.) Misunderstood what I said B.) Lack the proper context to understand what I said/reblogged or C.) Are an idiot Those are the only three options.

- Thor and his magic patu: notes on a very Māori Marvel movie

[dorkmatter]

So I've had a few co-workers recommend The Magicians to me. A cursory glance at the series has shown me that the SPN fandom moved there.

Hard pass.

Happy Birthday Tim Curry!!!

Today, April 19th, marks the 71st birthday of the one, the only, TIM CURRY!

The Rocky Horror fandom knows him best as the deliciously demented Dr. Frank-n-Furter, of course…

But Mr. Curry’s body of work goes far beyond that. Over nearly five decades(!) of acting, he has portrayed the Bard of Avon, Will Shakespeare…

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in the original Broadway run of Amadeus…

Miss Hannigan’s dashing but dastardly brother Rooster in Annie…

The Pirate King in the 1982 West End production of The Pirates of Penzance…

The demonic Darkness of Legend…

The butler, Wadsworth, from that board-game-come-to-life Clue…

The Grand Wizard in the film-length meme that is The Worst Witch (and yes, Tim, we all want to see your *ahem* “tambourine”)…

Steven King’s carnivorous clown Pennywise, causing generations of horror fans to develop coulrophobia (Beep Beep, Richie!)…

Ferngully’s Hexxus, whose slimy, seductive song “Toxic Love” gave 90′s kids of all genders very confusing feelings for an animated smog-monster…

The smarmy, sycophantic Concierge in Home Alone 2…

The conniving Cardinal Richelieu, the Three Musketeers’ powerful foe…

The entire creepy-ass Brackett family in the Tales from the Crypt episode “Death of Some Salesmen”…

Ariel’s oddly muscular antagonist, the Evil Manta, from The Little Mermaid TV series…

The Pebble and the Penguin’s devious Drake (once again, why on earth is a penguin that buff?)…

The infamous Long John Silver, complete with Muppet crew (and a smouldering past romance with Miss Piggy)…

King Chicken in the strange, crass adult cartoon Duckman…

The patriarch of that beloved creepy, kooky family, Gomez Addams…

The bumbling wildlife expert (and father of 1,000 smashing memes) Nigel Thornberry…

Ben Ravencroft, a horror writer with a mysterious past in Scooby-Doo and the Witch’s Ghost…

The greedy Ebenezer Scrooge in Madison Square Garden’s 2001 Christmas Carol (as well as a number of other Christmas Carol projects, including voicing an animated Scrooge in 1997, recording an audiobook, and even participating in a Sesame Street version!)…

King Arthur in the original run of Monty Python’s Broadway blockbuster Spamalot…

Prince, Garfield’s royal doppelgänger… 

Chancellor Palpatine in Star Wars: The Clone Wars…

The ominous Auntie Whispers in Over the Garden Wall…

…and did the Time Warp again in 2016 as the Criminologist in FOX’s totally unnecessary remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

And that’s just a tiny selection of roles from his huge body of work! (I should know: I spent literal hours combing his résumé for this post.) Mr. Curry is a true jack-of-all-trades talent—from stage and screen, to audiobooks and voice work for animated features and video games; he even released several albums as a solo musician!

For almost half a century, Timothy James Curry has inspired the weirdos, the queer kids, the theater geeks, and the freaks of the world. His life shows them—shows us—that being ourselves will pay off in the long run, no matter how much we are told that we have to “learn to fit in” and “be normal, for god’s sake.”

Mr. Curry, you are a motherfucking hero, and for that, we honour you. Here’s hoping you are healthy and happy, today and for many birthdays yet to come.

So everyone join me in a rousing chorus of a song even the virgins will know!

[ariassong]

This is a really comprehensive list, but I’m just gonna add this one gem from Comand and Conquer Red Alert 3

[dorkmatter]

How the fuck is he seventy-one? What happened to the last thirty years? How was he forty-eight when I learned the time warp twenty three years ago?

LMAO CAN YOU FUCKING IMAGINE HAVING THE MONEY TO EAT LIKE THIS THO

[girl-sim-deactivated20230806-de]

The average price for chicken breast is around $3.20/lb

One pound of rice is maybe a dollar

Fresh broccoli is typically 2 bucks per pound

You can buy a 5-pound bag of russet potatoes for 3 dollars (about 60 cents/lb)

12 count eggs are around a dollar

You’re looking at maybe $10 without tax for more than one lunch meal, you could probably get at least 3 meals out of the list above (about $3.33 for each meal). That’s far from expensive.

[indyart]

Meat is the most expensive part of these meals and can be exchanged for cheaper meats.

[libertybill]

[mexicanjesuschrist-deactivated2]

Its cheaper when you buy from grocery stores

You guys just don’t know how to: take advantage of sales and coupons, spend according to a budget, and meal plan.

The meals shown above are nothing special, there are no expenive Super Foods. Theyre all just balanced meals, they all have fruit, vegetables, protein, grains, and some bit of fats

[amynchan]

I’ve been doing this for a few weeks now and it’s a lot easier on my budget than even thinking about going out to eat.  And they’re more filling, too.

[dorkmatter]

Glad you all have the time to make these. Yes it's cheaper, people know this. What you don't consider, has that the people who are strapped for cash, are also strapped for time. There's a reason people buy fast food. Yes you can make meals that are cheaper but it takes time. Time that people who work two jobs, or are single parents, or are disabled... we can't make these meals. We don't have time to do the bare minimum.

I work at a grocery store in a lower income neighborhood. Homemade carrot cake? Lol. Baked french toast muffins? And I'm going to grill some corn in February? This is a farce. Yes it costs less money in a vacuum, but this is just insulting.

[dorkmatter]

Thor 4

I'll take another TW film. Thor as a celebrity with Asgardians moving to Norway as New Asgard? That could be fun as long as he has an offworld threat.

And since Hulk's solo movie distribution rights are STILL in question, if Hulk survives Endgame and isn't Professor Hulk (or maybe if he is) bring in Grey Hulk somehow?

Fuck i am screaming and crying and feeling pretty g-d old right about now. :)

[dorkmatter]

Not sure if I'm mad because I'm old enough to get all of these, or because I needed half of these twenty years ago. =(

@emberfallen

[dorkmatter]

Genius.

[dorkmatter]

Hey, guys, try to be like Inigo Montoya. When someone tells you no, accept it and move on. Also if anyone kills your father, devote your life to getting revenge. But mostly the first thing.

[dorkmatter]

Just waiting for Endgame to come out so we can see the MCU slate for Phase 4 and finding out that Thor will get a fourth movie. He's been built up over his last two appearances, really embracing his godlike might. It would be a shame to abandon all the goodwill that's been built up. And hrs so much younger than his co-stars. He'd be the only original Avenger to get a fourth movie, and in Phase 4 no less. The marketing writes itself..

Prepare yourself for THFOUR!

I’M DEAD

[prokopetz]

Fun fact: if you know your feline body language, you’ll notice that the lynx is deferring to the housecat. As far as these two are concerned, the housecat is the higher-ranking cat.

[thecarvingwitch]

OH MY GOSH

[icarus-in-fl1ght-deactivated202]

It’s because the cat is that lynx’s mom

[softfairies]

[dorkmatter]

Lynx: "My mother might be small, but she's still my momma."

Cat: "Look at my big, strong boy." /begins mothering

[dorkmatter]

/sigh

Bill Cosby, Kevin Spacey, Liam Neeson, Vic Mignogna...

This is a scattered and incomplete list off the top of my head...

...and yet people ask me why I'm a misanthrope.

People, on the whole are awful. Hell, I'M awful. But it still sucks to be disappointed.
