MY SKIN HAS TURNED TO PORCELAIN, TO IVORY, TO STEEL. Happy Birthday @obsidios!

The Backstreet Boys performing I Want It That Way together from each of their homes is exactly what I needed today.

How did they get finer as the years progressed?

I will reblog this again as an antidote to that “Imagine” bullshit.

More fun, more positive, more genuine, and everyone is clearly having a good time.

This is the good shit.

It's essentially just musical bros trying to cheer people by being goofballs

I love it

And in just a few frames, Kevin’s kids clearly were 1000% on board...and even fucking knew all the lyrics...

Unlike some of the Late Night Jimmy shit you see, the kids seem like the corporate suits said “go on sit there and smile nice. We need ratings dammit. RATINGS.

I love that this is done with tongue planted very firmly in cheek. Brian is very clearly wearing his PJ’s, Kevin and Aaron have their kids in there, they’re all pantomiming the guitar part... This isn’t a group of celebrities seeking attention; this is, “Hey, remember when we were famous? GOD that was so long ago. But it still makes you smile just like it did back then, doesn’t it? So, have some goofy nostalgia at our expense.”

This, I can get behind.

It’s telling that since their glory days when they made obscene money, you haven’t seen any scandals with them. No TMZ “UH OH!” spots.

They kinda came and went and that’s it.

They’re just a bunch of goofy dudes thinking how to cheer people up and then going for it.

Also props to I'm assuming Nick's wife who is just killing it with the cinematography

remember, ladies, before you say or do anything, to ask yourself: is this something that would get me diagnosed with female hysteria and locked in the attic by my relatives in the 19th and early 20th century? and if the answer is yes, proceed

The Hunger Games, Actual Teen style!

On the left, 15-year-old Josh Hutcherson.

On the right, 16-year-old Jennifer Lawrence.

Think how much creepier it would be to see them killing other kids when they look so squishy-cheeked and little.

“Think how much creepier it would be to see them killing other kids when they look so squishy-cheeked and little.”

THAT’S THE POINT SUZANNE COLLINS WAS TRYING TO MAKE

lumos-of-my-life

Think about these cute squishy kids being forced into a romance in order to survive

And the threat of these cute squishy kids being forced into prostitution after the games are over.

my-graceless-heart

REBLOGGING THIS AGAIN WITH A REMINDER THAT FINNICK WAS 14 WHEN HE WAS REAPED/WON THE GAMES AND WAS FORCED INTO PROSTITUTION SOON AFTERWARD

venusdryad

wait the kids were forced into prostitution after they won???

a-terf

Some of the Victors were, especially if they were attractive to lots of rich people during the games. How do you think you pay off the parachute things people send you to help you win the game? Those books were so fucked up

That’s why I feel like actual teens should have been cast in the movie. It would have hammered in the message of the books so much more.

And if they had cast actual teenages, I’m sure they wouldn’t have focus so much on romance in the films. They would have focus on the horror of the hunger games, like they damn well should have.
