Unhealthy Obsessions

Proud TV addict. Yes, way past the denial stage.. accepted it wholeheartedly. I watch everything "good" basically. Let's blog it out!

Flirting with your wife on public social media may be a bad idea, mostly because everyone will misinterpret your inside jokes and sense of humour.

Here's my Nandini edit! For the Tamil folks out there, it's inspired by Thalaivar's anecdote: Nandini x Neelambari ✨🔥

Since the Ponniyin Selvan book was illustrated by Maniam, there are a wealth of images to rely on for the costumes of the movie. The book itself was a historical romance and there is some liberty and a bit of imagination in the illustrations. There is a definite 50s aesthetic in the illustrations, often mirrored in the movies of the time.

There are a large number of the illustrations on the web and loads of comparison posts too. Still I felt like digging into my old posts to see how the movie’s costumes compared.

Pic 3 (of Kundavai and Vaanathi) is from a blog, the author has translated Ponniyin Selvan. The excerpts give an idea of the novel for anyone interested.

As an aside, I am disappointed that they didn’t use the ketaki flower (pic 5 of Poonguzhali) since almost all the illustrations for the character feature it.

Ok seriously we’re not appreciating M'Baku enough?? Boy challenged T'challa, lost, accepted it and left. Then like 3 days later the king washed up on his shore and he’s like “aye I could use this to become king but nah let’s save the guy until he gets better” so now he has an unconscious, barely-clinging-to-life king in his living room, but he does everything to save him. Then the servants of that king show up, offer him the throne and the Black Panther serum which would pretty much make him invincible, and what does he do? Does he go “Mhm ok niiice” and accept it, thus becoming rightful king? Nope! He shows them the dying T'challa, who they bring back to life with the serum and leave. They ask for his army, but he doesn’t want to risk his people, but in the end realises they should stick together so he barges into the battle like the fucking Icon™ he is ok I just love M'Baku let’s give him the appreciation he deserves

[thequeenofuselessinformation]

M'baku is the personification of honour imo. You won’t find a defeated warrior with pride and honour like his that easy. Respecting his rival, the needs of his people and Wakanda itself??? Putting all that over his ego???? Someone raised that man right yo.

[wombatking]

At the same time, we can’t forget T’Challa’s role in all this. He had M’Baku at his mercy, and could have easily killed him or gone out of his way to humiliate him. Instead he treated him as a fellow warrior with honor, and assured him that he respected his leadership of his tribe. That very much planted the seeds of M’Baku’s respect for him, and wound up serving as his own salvation.

It’s the rarest of unicorns - two competing alpha males whose masculinity isn’t toxic.

leo dicaprio was nominated five times in twenty two years

amy adams was nominated five times in eight years. 

it took her less than half the time it took him to get the same number of nominations.

her performances are poignant, subtle, always beautifully delivered. 

the fact she wasn’t even nominated for arrival is an absolute atrocity.

this is the hill on which i die.
