i've seen some debate over the last couple years as to whether or not Adam from Saw is right or left handed. ofc you can hc him whatever you want, but if you're worried about we see in the movie, in the first 5 minutes, he:
grabs the chain when he gets up off the floor when he first gets out of the tub with his left hand (to be fair, its the one closest to it)
briefly shields his eyes when the lights come on with his right hand
grabs chain with both hands (which ever one is further up the chain switches between shots)
braces himself on the floor when he sits with his right hand
pushes on the bottom of the cuff with his right hand (does this every time we see him trying to push the cuff off- worth noting, this may be because the cuff is on his left leg so this may be more about the angle rather than using his presumably stronger hand for leverage)
grabs the part of the chain wrapped around the pipe with his right hand
puts his right hand on the floor to support his weight when he sits again
puts his weight on his right hand when he gets up from sitting position to show off his tummy
holds his shirt up with his left hand while he checks his body/gestures while he talks with his right hand
I think this is enough to make the case that he's right handed, but here's the next 5 minutes if you have my same brand of neurodivergence:
reaches forward and touches the pipe w rh (to be fair, given the way he's standing here, his rh is his downstage hand, so this could be more about blocking here)
holds envelope with lh and pulls the tape out with rh
tries to use the key with his rh
reaches into envelope and pulls out the tape again w rh
sets the tape down and supports his weight with his lh as he gets on the floor
reaches for the tape player w rh
tries to throw his shirt for the tape w rh
holds shirt in lh while he feels around/gestures w rh
reaches in the tub for the plunger w rh
ties plunger onto his shirt with and uses his rh to try to get the tape recorder
holds tape recorder w lh, puts tape in w rh
holds tape recorder w rh as he listens to it (which in this instance might be more of a blocking thing like with the pipe more than a dominant hand thing, though at 11:07 when he plays Lawrence's tape, he still holds it up with his rh which is not his downstage hand in this position)
I think the point has been made here, but let's skip ahead to a couple other memorable parts in the movie:
Adam reaches into the toilet bowl and digs around w his rh
reaches into the toilet tank and lifts out the bag with his (non poop covered) lh
he pulls the saws out of the bag with his non poopy lh but uses, breaks, and throws the hacksaw with his rh
Adam is resting his weight on his rh when it cuts back to the bathroom after Amanda's trap and gestures w his lh, but i think this is more about the blocking and camera position here
he reaches forward to pick up the mirror shard and threaten Lawrence with his rh which is not his downstage hand here
picks up and throws stuff at the mirror with his rh
picks up Lawrence's wallet with his lh, which is the one closer to it (the one he uses to hold it and dig for the picture of Alison and Dina switches between shots)
Adam does smoke with his lh in the bathroom, but he picks up and uses the lighter with his rh, and as a right handed stoner, I most definitely light my shit with my right hand and hold a joint/pipe/bong with my left (he also reaches/gestures for the cigarette with his rh when he's asking Lawrence to give him one, which is his downstage hand)
Adam is smoking with his rh when he's walking up the stairs to his apartment, shuts the front door with his rh, is carrying and throws his keys on the table with his rh, has the camera hanging around his shoulders so that the camera is hanging on his right hip next to his rh
beats up Billy in his apartment w a baseball bat w his rh
approaches his closet door with the camera in his rh and the bat in his left, also opens the door with his left
holds the camera up to his right eye to take pictures of Lawrence ("BUT THAT'S HIS EYE" you say- well typically people are right or left eye dominate in the same way that they are right or left hand dominant and usually that dominance is on the same side, so unless he's a right handed left eye dominant freak like me, he is likely right eye dominant and therefore also likely to be right handed)
that said, he does appear to be holding the camera to his left eye when he watches Lawrence go into the motel room
he does throw the stack of photos at Lawrence with his lh
he takes the money from Tapp w his lh
picks up and throws things at Lawrence with his rh after he gets electrocuted when he's begging him to get up
he punches Zep in the face w his lh while pinning him down w his right arm, after getting shot in the right shoulder
not surprisingly, he uses his lh for most things (reaching for Lawrence, searching Zep's body for a key, holding and listening to the tape recorder) after he gets shot in his right shoulder
he does dive for, grab, and take aim and John with Zep's gun with his rh (and Adam died for it)
So while Adam does use his left hand for plenty of things that don't always seem related to blocking, given that he uses his right for more fine movements like loading the tape recorder, using the lighter, and it's his throwing arm, I'm inclined to say that his right hand is dominant
As far as whether or not Leigh Whannell is right or left handed, that remains to be seen, ("but Johnny," you say, "didn't you have him sign a shirt literally in front of you and then sign your own fucking leg and get it tattooed on?" yes I did and i didn't want to stare at him while he did it so i chatted with staff/people in Bradley Whitford's line while he did), but unless he's crazy ambidextrous, which he very well might be, I would say he's probably right handed as well (is Specs right handed?)
Wrapping up vacation and here’s how the Saw characters travel. Saw vacation AU? These freaks have never been relaxed in their entire lives. Well…
Amanda: Throws a bunch of shit in a duffle. Never checks a bag ‘cause she never had the means to. Forgets shit like her toothbrush. Lynn is like, how do you forget a toothbrush? First time she’s on a plane, she panics. She’s more of a road trip girl. Likes to take a long walk around a place to learn its character.
Lawrence: You know when you see someone at the airport and they look so put together? Casual, but coordinated. Unflustered. Everything in stride until someone cuts him off at the hotel check-in desk and he’s like, “excuse me?” You know the luggage is beautiful and bespoke.
Adam: Adam is enjoying the benefits of dating an older gentleman with money. He follows Lawrence around the resort and lets him pay for everything. Wears a shirt open by the pool with Ray-Bans Lawrence got him for his birthday and sips a fruity drink while he gets sunburned to all hell. He did forget to pack a toothbrush too, and Lawrence has to slather him with aloe—but, no matter. He’s living!
Strahm: Good at air travel because of work, but melts down over delays. Likes a schedule, at least knowing what he’s doing each day. Gets up hella early. Uses packing cubes and calls the hotel to make sure they give him an ironing board, but thinks room service is “tacky.” He’ll be hiking and rock climbing and hanging out in nature, but never ever ever ever camping. You think that hair can sleep in a tent?
Perez: She’s never traveling with Peter again after he’s forced to retire early, I’ll tell you that much.
Hoffman: Since he spent his youth working and caring for his sister, the entire world is new to him. He sees every location, every form of transportation, with wonder. Packs light, but has everything he needs in one bag. Tries to learn the basics of the language of the place he’s visiting—he’s a little better at it than Strahm. Sleeps late on vacation because he never gets to; for about 30 minutes each morning, Strahm considers dumping him over it.
John: Points out the engineering marvels everywhere, from infrastructure and architecture to roller coaster.
i wish we were able to talk about women's rights without someone mentioning how much they do or don't want to have sex with them. i don't care if you're a lesbian Stop finding worth in women purely from their perceived attractiveness
"I think women should not be expected to shave for societal respect / to avoid discrimination" "yeah🤤 i love bush" ok well that's not what we're talking about is it.
i hate how many posts about trans women deserving respect always devolve into "I love girldick" or "trans rights but I don't want to date a trans person" because that's entirely unrelated to the topic at hand. you should not respond to feminism with "YESSS I loveeee you because I see you as nothing but a sex object" you people sound like other men I get stuck talking with that end up saying "free the nipple so I can see boobies in public" and thinking they're feminists. why can't we just respect women regardless of your attraction to them or not. why does it need to be brought up in every conversation regarding their rights
Guys, did you know you can criticize purity culture without being acephobic? You can also criticize puritanism without belittling or blaming people who simply don't like explicit erotic content. Not everyone who doesn't like porn has been brainwashed by purity culture.
Getting super sick at the amount of people that just randomly put completely wanton digs at asexual people for no fucking reason at all.
Hey, hey guys, listen to me. Someone not feeling sexual attraction isn't the same as purity culture. Someone not being into sex isn't the same as purity culture. They are not "upholding" purity culture by doing that, you are just making a false equivalence.
