Also I just watched project hail mary and i really need a "Rocky hate Mark" gif. Who makes gif? I will pay any sum.

My hot take is that i would full throatedly support a labyrinth remake if Sophie Thatcher was going to play the goblin king. I will not be defending this position

Listen obviously the current streaming set up is ridiculous, but sometimes im really happy for 8 year old me who dreamed of some day having unfettered access to hbo because one my friends could finally share it with me

[rabbits-of-negative-euphoria]

if they're gonna remake The Princess Bride, it should open with a kid sick in bed scrolling on his phone. his grandpa arrives with a gift--it's a DVD player with a disc already inside. grandpa hooks it up to the TV and presses play. and we all just watch the original 1987 film again.

Easily worth the 18 bucks

Heretic is a great movie about that guy who might be technically right but hes such an asshole about it you want to kick his teeth in

[quinnspinkcamera]

when people are like "i didn't come here to make friends" i'm like thats sooooo unrelatable. i am always on the look out for some girl friends. I would be in that hunger games cornucopia like "your ex boyfriend did WHAT."

i just checked my status effects for the first time in a while how long have i been Doomed for

[iidolomantis]

checked under the sink a bit ago and saw i’ve got an angel infestation. annoying bastards. it explains all the weird dreams and salt pillars and how my neighbor’s dog kept barking in latin the other day, i guess. i’ll have to pick up some more glue traps tomorrow. i’m just hoping my cat doesn’t manage to catch any of them before the traps do; last time, i found a bunch of halos and chewed-up wings, and it was a whole thing with the vet. eight hundred bucks and a vision of the heat death of the universe later, and they tell me not to worry, it happens all the time, and to bring her back if she still has more than two eyes after a week. what a fucking scam.

1) any stretching is better than no stretching

2) any vegetable is better than no vegetable

3) statistically you will never be the worst person at anything, there is always someone in the world who is worse at stuff than you are

[headspace-hotel]

4) if you actually are the worst person in the entire world, the scientific curiosity of this fact alone would make it worthwhile to continue

This is what hozier meant when he says he falls a little bit in love everyday with someone new

I once watched a girl in the produce aisle pick up a bushel of bananas that were precariously perched on the edge and move them farther back and under her breath she said “there you go sweeties - that will be more comfortable” before shuffling off and… I think about her often.

« Silent lovers » is such a sweet way to put it.

I was driving on the highway and passed a dude absolutely JAMMING alone in his car, doing those little half dance moves you do when you’re stuck sitting down in a small space, bellowing unheard lyrics at the top of his lungs, and my instant reaction was to think “I love you.” And then to pray he had a good day, or whatever, because those fleeting moments of connection are so incredible.

The Australian Ballet is doing Alice in Wonderland again and on one hand I’ve seen it before, and on the other, their Queen of Hearts has my favourite costume in anything every

[the-bear-woman]

It’s just this and her court pushes her around the stage on wheels and every act it gets taller until she towers over everyone

[the-bear-woman]

Also in act 3 (I think) it swings open at the front and her husband is sitting inside reading a newspaper

[the-bear-woman]

I saw this again on Tuesday so here are some things I’d forgotten about:

This is the only Alice adaptation I’ve ever seen that doesn’t cut the caucus race

The mad hatter wears taps throughout and it’s so jarring and surprising it’s perfect

The executioner shadows almost everyone who dances with the Queen

Lewis Carroll is a character in the ballet and becomes the white rabbit who leads Alice into wonderland which is bad and wrong because Carroll is the dodo but does work very well

They started dropping rose petals from the ceiling onto the audience when Alice looked through the door to the garden and it was utterly magic

The Cheshire Cat is made of about 10 different puppets that dance around the stage

Which reminds me Alice is styled after Alice Liddell rather than the John Tenniel illustrations

I don’t think the king of hearts actually dances he just wanders around looking confused

[paraphernaliawagon]

here’s a video

[paraphernaliawagon]

more. (btw this is a parody/reference to the very famous “rose adagio” from sleeping beauty)

[paraphernaliawagon]

the Caterpillar is pretty neat too

(all of these videos are from the Royal Ballet’s productions in 2014 and 2017)

[catrinecat]

Finally an adaptation that makes feel like I’m going to have stroke, it’s perfect

[themummersfolly]

This looks fucking bonkers, I love it.
