I've been watching a lot of clips from Would I Lie To You and I've loved Rob's energy so I went to see what he's been in and he was in Blinded by the Light - a movie I've seen like 4 times

But much more importantly he was fucking Sugar Daddy Ken in Barbie???

Once again thinking about the writing in Iron Lung, specifically the fucking life jacket, I love that life jacket so much

The fuckinghshgshahahha life jacket

Okay so, in the movie, when Simon is going through the emergency supplies, he finds the life jacket, kinda stares at it for a second, and tosses it to the side. It's a quick, simple visual joke because given the context the fact that there is a life jacket it comical because what the fuck is that gonna accomplish, and the tossing it aside is just a simple way of communicating that that's both funny and effective

And then, when the electricity fails and Simon needs a light, the life jacket is actually useful for this purpose, it's the only source of light and while Simon may have been able to fix the power without it, the life jacket did save his life in the moment

And then, we get to the end of the movie, Simon is able to save the black box and all the data and float it to the top of the ocean because of the life jacket. People are able to get what is probably the literal most important information in the universe and gives humanity hope for the first time in ages because of Simon and the way he got the info to them was the life jacket that he tossed aside because it was completely useless

Like the life jacket goes from comically useless, to useful for Simon, to being the only way that the last hope for humanity can be reached

It's so well written sjjsbdjsjbajsmdkdjbsksj

Really insane found media

So, back when Dracula first released in 1931, it came with an epilogue where Edward Van Sloan (who played Van Helsing) basically reassured the audience that vampires exist. They apparently removed it out of fear it’d anger religious groups. After almost a century, it’s now available

Okay so I don't think Hunchback of Notre Dame should have a live action remake, mostly because I don't think hardly any movies should have a live action remake, and I've been of the opinion for quite a while that if Disney does make one for Hunchback of Notre Dame, they 1000% should only do it if they cast an actually physically disabled actor and don't use any prosthetics to give him any facial irregularities.

Using prosthetics on an able bodied conventionally attractive actor would not only just be incredibly disrespectful and removing an opportunity for an actor who actually has those traits, it would also just be the most blatant misunderstanding of the original movie possible.

However, recently, I was watching a recording of Gaten Matarazzo performing Pirelli's Miracle Elixir when he was in the Sweeney Todd revival on Broadway, and one of the comments was saying that he has the perfect voice to theoretically play a live action Quasimodo and I'm afraid I have to concede, he really would be perfect. He's an amazing actor, a talented singer with the perfect voice, he's actually physically disabled, and while he doesn't have any facial irregularities, one could argue that he did at some point, or at least had a similar experience due to missing some teeth for a long time.

Again, I don't want a live action (Disney) Hunchback of Notre Dame, but if they're gonna make it and not seek out unknown actors, Gaten Matarazzo would be an amazing choice

Spoiler free review of The Drama

It was very good and I wish that watching it hadn't been overshadowed by watching a woman get punched in the face and having to call the cops right after I left the theater

[stanning-elmo]

One of my favorite pieces of film trivia is the fact that for Spinal Tap, since it's almost entirely improv, Rob Reiner wanted every single person in the movie to be credited as a writer. The screen writer's guild ultimately stopped him from doing it but I love the idea of everyone including actors with two lines getting a writing credit because, technically, they did write their own lines

Kenya unbans groundbreaking lesbian film Rafiki in major victory for queer visibility

"This ruling encourages diverse, bold and authentic filmmaking. Rafiki walked so many stories could run.”

Kenya’s Court of Appeal has overturned its decision to ban Rafiki, the groundbreaking 2018 drama that depicts a lesbian romance between two Kenyan women.

The Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) banned the film in April 2018 due to its “homosexual theme and clear intent to promote lesbianism in Kenya contrary to the law”. The decision came after director Wanuri Kahiu declined to give in to demands to change the ending, which the board deemed too positive.

My other secret plan if I somehow ever win an Oscar would be to start by telling the audience exactly how much time they've given me and then my entire speech would be about how the Academy should give people more time to give speeches since celebrating and recognizing their talent and hard work is the entire point of the fucking show

[stanning-elmo]

My secret plan is if I'm ever Super Fucking Rich I'll buy every single ad space during The Oscars and then tell the network to just give the extra time to the winners so they can have longer speeches/so more people can talk. And if they say no then I'll have all the nominees record their speeches and play the footage from the winner during the ad breaks. Those speeches will be fucking heard mark my words
