happy 420 y’all let’s remember:

oh to be a random member of the Magnus institute oversight committee popping into the archives for a supervisory visit. at the staff meeting everyone keeps referring to Unknowing this Unknowing that but when you ask Unknowing What? they all look like they want to kill you. the guy with a last name that is Stoner or Sticker won’t stop clicking his pen very loudly everytime his boss opens his mouth. the martin assistant seems pretty normal and he makes you a cup of tea but you spill it all over your pants when the head archivist careens into you in the hallway. for some reason he looks like a feral alleycat who hasn’t slept in five months and acts like he’d rather swallow his tape recorder and digest it than turn it off when you ask. the two former policewomen seem competent but you think one of them was talking about burying a body when you walked into the room? later you spot a famous youtuber in the hallway and you think thank Christ finally a normal interaction but then you notice she is in fact carrying a butcher knife the size of a small dog. on your way out mr. bouchard addresses you by your first name which you did not tell him and then very politely threatens to frame you for tax evasion. you write the archives a glowing report.

Actual faith vs performative religion.

That made me tear up. That decision. A lifetime!

Those Sikhmen never shaved - not once! they grew into their bodies as their God intended. A huge daily ritual of care and grooming. Devotion.

Do you understand this sacrifice?

i do not want a “job” or to go to “college”, i want to live in the mountains with a pretty girl and a black cat and make stew for dinner and paint pictures of her in oil paints and sell wood carvings and potatoes at the market.

i don’t wanna reblog that gifset of kate winslet freezing her ass off in titanic but she actually got double pneumonia from filming those scenes without a wetsuit. and all bc james cameron wanted the fabric to be see through when wet. when’s the final straw when do we snap and kill every man

Didn’t they film this ish on a set though..? Couldn’t they have just… heated the water?

But then her nipples wouldn’t have been hard. Please be considerate of male heterosexuality and entitlement whenever you’re trying to rationally prevent a woman from getting an avoidable illness in her workplace. Thanks.

Uhh, not defending James Cameron here because he’s an absolute jackass and a monster of a director but….

He’s an absolute jackass and a monster of a director.

He didn’t do it to see her nipples. He did it because he wants everyone he works with to be a fucking method actor rather they want to or not because he’s obsessed with detail. You recall Leo Dicaprio was in that water too, right? You recall that a whole great bunch of men, women, and children who were extras were in that water too, right? Not to mention the water wasn’t just cold enough to make her sick but to cover her in bruises so extensive the make up team took pictures to document them. You realise he’s done shit like this to actors on several other films. Ed Harris punched James Cameron in the face on the set of The Abyss after he ran out of oxygen, gave the signal for it, Camera kept filming, and Harris nearly drowned. Cameron’s reason for it was that he wanted Harris’s panic to be “real”.

From wikipedia: “ Sam Worthington, who worked with Cameron on Avatar, stated on The Jay Leno Show that Cameron had very high expectations from everyone: he would use a nail gun to nail the film crew’s cell phones to a wall above an exit door in retaliation for unwanted ringing during production”

People who have worked with him have shown up on set wearing shirts saying “You can’t scare me; I work for James Cameron.”

Painting him as no more than an average heterosexual man just wanting to get a peek at some titties MASSIVELY UNDERSTATES what a horrid person he is to work with and how abusive he is. Don’t do that. Don’t portray this as average. Don’t normalise this.

There have been a few “get the real reaction” directors out there who’ve nearly killed or severely traumatized actors

hitchcock with tippi hedren - throwing live frightened birds at her when she expected mechanical ones. Her eye was narrowly missed & she broke down on set. Doctors ordered her a weeks rest. In their next film, he began sexually harassing her & when she refused & demanded to be released from her contract he tried guilttripping her about supporting her family & threatened to ruin her career. He began calling her a fat pig on set. He referred to her as property & paid her next to nothing until selling her contract.

Stanely kubrick traumatized shelley duvall during the shining (constant arguments about the script, acting technique & more) that she became physically ill for months & her hair began falling out. They redid take after take of scenes that required her to be in emotional turmoil - she recounts it as being in tears for 12hrs a day, 5-6 days a week, for 9 months. Unknown how much this attributed to it, she disappeared from public life in the 2000s before showing up on Dr Phil in serious need of professional mental heath care. (Even jack nicholson was stressed and frustrated over the constant & at times multiple times a day script changes, though idk if he was as affected & argued with the way duvall was)

Last Tango in Paris features a r*pe scene between marlon brando and maria Schneider involving a stick of butter and striking the actress across the face. Director bernardo bertolucci & brando told her about it right before filming as it wasnt in the script. Bertolucci in 2013 admitted he told her about the butter last minute because he wanted her to ‘feel, not act’ and wanted the humiliation, anger, and tears to be real. Schneider says the aftermath of the film made her ‘a little crazy’ and she had a breakdown which included drug abuse and a suicide attempt. The director claimed to feel guilty but didnt regret not telling her how the scene would play out becuae he believed humiliating her was the only way to get the reaction he wanted & also used her age (19) and inexperience (in acting & life) & withheld details to get a more authentic performance. He maintains that the r*pe itself was in the script, it was the butter that was decided last minute and sprung on her.

Tarantino genuinely strangled diane kreuger himself in Inglorious Basterds because he felt christoph waltz wouldnt be up to the task & he was never convinced by fake strangulation (because their faces dont turn the right color & veins dont pop out). Kreuger defended his actions saying he didnt abuse his power or force her to do anything she wasnt comfortable with. Uma Thurman was forced to drive a car in kill bill that was deemed unsafe and she crashed into a tree gaining injuries shes never fully recovered from. He’s also the one who spat on her and choked her with the chain. Regarding the crash, she says she believes he didnt have malicious intent & was remorseful - even giving her the full footage. Thurman released it claiming criminal negligence especially in the cover up of what happened.

I’m not trying to normlize Cameron, but show that there are many iconic movies & directors that have some really shitty behind the scenes (eapecially for women) for the sake of art & a real performance and none of it is okay. These are just the ones i remembered off the top of my head (and re-researched for specific details for this post)

when the finale first came out, i was a little weirded out by how quickly lup was able to forgive lucretia, and i thought a lot about that and why

but i was today years old when i realized something important:

lucretia may have enacted a secret plan to take care of the relics because she thought she could shoulder the burden on her own and didn’t need to involve her family

but she wasn’t the only one to do so

anonymousalchemist

#lup’s plan to hide the relics #and lucretia’s plan to make everyone forget about them? #would have been BEAUTIFUL hand in hand #giving them the extra time they needed to figure out wtf to do #without having to worry about the relics constantly killing people #i don’t know if it would have worked #the bonds they made in this world were especially important to defeating the hunger #and none of them felt okay making bonds here because of the relics #but the point still stands #if either of them had talked to anyone else #things would have gone down way differently

For the Librarians out there.

Libraries are important and this is a good time to remind your legislators that you want them to be there when we’re finished having a pandemic.

New rule for Hollywood directors: if you’re using a traditional folk song as part of your film’s soundtrack, you’re not allowed to skip the verses where it gets political. Sorry – your movie is about killing the English now!

I have been informed that I am racist against the English.
