Drowning In Ship @rebeccasteventaylor - Tumblr Blog

I have to be shallow for a moment and mention for a moment how hot Simon is on The Undeclared War.

His character is all calm and confident and in charge and curious and intelligent and it’s just - so sexy

Next Simon watch is The Undeclared War - S2 has just landed and the promo is Simon heavy, so I think he must be in it more but I never finished S1 (too many teenage prodigies for me) so I shall finish that now and get more Simon being a spy (although not a Benji kind of spy.)

(And it does have a proper yuri ship too, so there’s that)

I get why they do it, but if I picked up a bow and it sounded like this, I’d be signing up for the shield wall instead!

I would like a gangster/crime movie where the women are NOT lap dancers.

Fuck it, I’ll write it myself

Ok, Terminal - it’s an interesting story, Alice in Wonderland by way of John Wick. It ought to be sending me crazy with delight. And the cinematography is gorgeous, and Simon gives an incredible performance and Margot Robbie just drips with star quality.

But - the other actors are flat, the story moves too slow, one final reveal is not built up enough but is also very obvious, the direction is very flat, the script needs editing, It just misses the mark.

There are some good moments. Simon is truly incredible in this role.

Interesting thought though - I can see the influence of this on Last Night in Soho.

Watching this evening is Simon Pegg themed, starting with a film I’m told is terrible film but Simon is excellent in it (thanks to @snovyda for the recommendation)

Forgot to mention the fucking movie…

John became a writer?

Oh…oh, that - that’s so special to me. I love that. It’s - it’s the most human thing he can do. He can finally use that gift for words.

Do you want to see my day of fun looks like? Course you do. Why wouldn’t you? No plans, just spontaneously doing whatever I feel is fun at the moment.

First step - well, I’ve sat in bed for half an hour with coffee and tumblr just waking up. Now off to the coffee shop to read an Ann Cleeves book. She writes very good crime and at the moment I’m working my way through the Vera Stanhope books for a second time. Vera is a large, awkward, difficult woman who is a police detective- she is so very fond of a few special people but otherwise is very alone, she lives out on the moors and people tend not to like her. I adore her

Next is the library - the next Vera Stanhope book has come in and so has my copy of the Silmarillion. I already own the Silmarillion of course, but it’s on my kindle and I have vision of me sitting under a tree, reading the physical book, so I got it from the library.

It’s a nice little library - small, but surprisingly well stocked. Got an excellent dvd collection too, and a beautiful garden to sit in and read (and also had a statue of a little dragon). Outside the library is a wooden carved cat that people leave offerings too (I don’t think that was meant to happen, people just do it)

Now for a lot walk down to the river, where I will pass a genuinely Gothick house. Yes, I mean with the k and the capital G.

This whole area has always been a goto spot for writers and artists and musicians. And a lot of their houses remain - it’s possible to visit Turner’s house, for example. In the Georgian era this area was a veritable literary salon - all these writers and intellectuals all lived within a short carriage ride of each other and they all built their homes to their designs and so on

Well one of them - I won’t say who, because I’m probably doxxing myself - built himself a Gothick castle - a very small one, with comfortable chairs - and it’s still standing, and you can go and visit it. I keep meaning to do one of their ghost tours. Anyway, my path to the river goes past that.

I’ll also be playing Pokemon Go the entire way, of course.

I’m at the park now - this used to be a stately home but that was all knocked down or fell down and now it’s a lovely park by the river. It’s covered in weeping willows and this was the first place in England to grow weeping willows.

There’s a tiny little bandstand - more of a quartetstand really - and a flood marker from a previous great flood (this park floods all the time but it is an exceptionally high marker) and people sailing and paddle boarding on the river.

The grass has turned yellow - we have a hosepipe ban and we’re expecting official drought conditions any day now - it’s already drought in wales

I’m sat here now, listening to podcasts (currently Sherlock & Co) and watching this view

Back home again, an afternoon nap as I listen to Threshold (the Malevolent sequel). It always seems easier to sleep in the afternoon - if I could arrange my day, I’d sleep less at night and catch up with afternoon naps

Look y'all, this reveal means so much to me. So many times in movies these days there are big reveals for the audience’s benefit that mean absolutely nothing in the context of the story or to the characters in it. I’m talking the Thanos cameo in the Avengers’ stinger, I’m talking Benedict CumberKhan in Star Trek, I’m talking about every hackneyed “This character is actually this other character” when in universe nobody knows nor cares about their true identity.

But here? This reveal? This is a Big Reveal for us, Peter B Parker, and Miles, all on different levels. We and Peter both know Doc Ock is a portly dude, not a woman. We know the name Octavius… Otto Octavius. But when she says her name is Olivia Octavius we’re clued in to the fact that Doctor Octopus is a woman in this universe. And she has Peter captive.

Miles, if he was paying attention in science class earlier in the movie, would have known her name was Olivia Octavius, but that doesn’t mean anything to him, why would it? Liv has apparently been very good about keeping her supervillainy a secret. She’s in educational videos shown in high-schools. So to Miles, the reveal here is this scientist lady, who he knew enough about to know was the head scientist at Alchemax, is a supervillain. He gets the reveal a second or two after Peter.

And the movie? It was dropping hints the entire time, confident in our expectations blinding is to the truth. Olivia’s name was partially visible when Miles got to science class. Her glasses are octagonal. The lights in her lab are octagonal. We know she’s working with the Kingpin. Why wouldn’t she be a supervillain? Because she’s hot? Hell, Peter even says he needs to reexamine his internal biases. Maybe he was telling us that we should too.

It’s a reveal for us, and for our heroes. It means something, both in-universe and out. And that makes it infinitely better than other similar reveals.
