at least tumblr hot takes are written by an overwhelming majority of just weird nerds and teens who don’t hang out with other gays… on twitter you can stumble upon any unbelievably bad opinion and discover it was written by an nbc showrunner who married the ceo of a startup that converts rental properties into oil wells. like at least nobody here has money or influence

I can’t stop laughing at Carrie being told “NO” by Mark. Also, Harrison Always Knows Best.

This is from a documentary called “From Star Wars to Jedi” released in 1983. Thanks @wookieekisses because I found that bit thanks to your post!

[patethenovice]

They’re figuring out the beats of the scene –while Harrison is tied up–.

[who-talks-first]

So what Mark said about them basically having to make everything up themselves (with Harrison as impromptu leader) is true.

The original films were only good by accident and thats why none of the prequels or sequels worked

[kalinara]

This clip is great for so many reasons, but my favorite is how Mark Hamill immediately shifts into Luke-voice for his part.  It’s like someone flipped a switch!

being evil and being mean are different. being mean is hurting people and doing bad stuff but being evil is just sometimes wearing a gay little labcoat and making gay little poisons

The sign of high quality is the fact the book was banned by the government. Trash literature NEVER EVER had any troubles with the law.

[cuntybearjamboree]

FARENHEIT 451 IS ON THE BANNED BOOKS LIST??? IT’S LITERALLY ABOUT THE SOCIETAL DANGERS OF BANNING/OUTLAWING/BURNING BOOKS ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

[dancing-coyote]

That’s the reason it’s on the bloody list.

BECAUSE IT’S ABOUT HOW BANNING AND BURNING BOOKS IS WRONG.

So this was in the Boston globe, and if I hadn’t read it myself I would have thought it was an Onion article. The lady wants walls again because now when she is working in the kitchen, her husband is in full view sitting watching TV and doing nothing. When they had walls, she was basically less aware of how ignored she was while being a hard-working woman and housewife. They don’t need walls, they need a marriage counselor.

[feenyxblue]

Okay, but also: the walls are there for a reason.

In particular, the kitchen walls are there so that you can leave the kitchen messy when entertaining guests or having a meal (to the point that some open floor concept homes have a second, secret kitchen called a mess kitchen). The walls of the kitchen confine smells to the kitchen area, so your sofa doesn’t smell of bacon. Mess spreads from room to room.

Noise too, travels in an open floor concept. You’re confined to a bedroom or outside to make phone calls, listen to podcasts, etc. etc. without disturbing the rest of the household. The minute someone needs to cook? The entire house becomes unusable.

Open floor concepts have higher heating (cuz drafty) and cooling (kitchen) costs. They also require ALL of your decor to match if that’s a thing that’s important to you.

The noise and mess spreading in particular seem to me they could exacerbate marital problems. Do they need counseling? Oh yeah. Does the house make for a less hospitable home, that puts stress on a marriage? Yes.

‘a series of unfortunate events’ isn’t even remotely unrealistic because adults really are Like That

[princesshamlet-deactivated20210]

i don’t mean to be a huge dick and slather my personal experiences all over everything, but ‘a series of unfortunate events’ truly will validate so many abused kids out there 

the baudelaire children confide in mr. poe that they’re being hurt by count olaf, and mr. poe goes and tells count olaf they said so, and olaf then punishes the children for daring to speak out. that’s real. olaf hits klaus so hard he falls over. that’s real. violet tells mr. poe about the literal abuse olaf subjects them to, and mr. poe dismisses her as a girl griping about chores. that’s real. in this book, children are trod on, disbelieved, laughed at, scorned, punished. that’s real. 

i don’t consider myself an abused child, but i was hit growing up. not often and not hard enough to bruise, but enough that i still, as a nineteen year old college student, flinch and cringe and cry and can’t stand up for myself against anyone; even to this day, i can’t, because i’m still convinced that if i contradict i’ll be screamed at or physically hurt. this stuff lingers. one day i was pushed so hard i fell against my bedframe and got a bloody nose! eventually i got too large to slap, but one day my mom pushed my sister. and then i did something i’d never done before: i decided to tell “a trusted adult.”

this adult essentially told me “if you’re not getting hit so hard you’re being bruised, you’re fine.” and guess what? i never told another adult until one day years later it burst out of me and i absolutely broke down sobbing in the car to my aunt and grandmother. for 20 minutes i couldn’t even stand up.

this is what adults do. ‘a series of unfortunate events’ knows this. it chronicles this. and it is completely fucking unique in the fact that it is on the kids’ side. that, to me, is fucking revolutionary. it takes the harm adults dole out to children daily and says This Is Undeserved and This Is Wrong and This Is Evil. revisiting it as an adult, i see myself echoed in it, and that is so piercing it almost hurts. 

[queerhumanbeing]

I remember watching the movie and I absolutely loved it, I feel so connected to the children and my mom hated it, she once told me “I don’t like how they portray the adults like they’re dumb” bc she was literally forced to watch the kids side and how everyone ignore them. I told her that was reality and children couldn’t help to see adults at dumbs bc they ignore them thinking they know better.

She didn’t like that very much
