Details pt 2

Had to create another post because it was going to be LONG if I didn’t, and I do want you guys to get all this. Because I know at least a few of you besides myself will like this :) or find it interesting/ good for fic writing.

The Ghosts know Finney’s name before their own. They appear to know him better then themselves (some of them, I’ll get to it later)

Something connecting all of the boys is a tendency to repeat the same thing over and over. “You already said that” “Y e a h? Well…” it’s sad. It’s telling. That they’re drifting further and further from what they used to be, who they used to be. Their memories are fading fast, their names, even their clothes as they are greyed and scrubbed of most detail. Whenever they call finney they are pulling together the small parts of themselves that they have left and it never lasts for long…

Them knowing finney more then themselves is cemented when Billy doesn’t even know who Bruce is. Despite Bruce being one of them. Being there. Constantly. Like him or any of the others. I think they just started refering to each other by the details they can recall. (“I don’t remember it. It’s not who I am now” further playing into them becoming something else all together. A memory. A feeling. A whisper.)

Paper Boy and Vance both have the strength to effect the living world. Both displayed this by using the bottles as a tool or a show of emotion. (Vance may have less control over this but more power. He’s one anger outburst away from becoming a full blown poltergeist).

While I’m not excusing Mr. Blake’s behavior in the slightest, it appears all his recent behavior started after the death of his wife. He likely picked up drinking and his behavior only deteriorated from there. It’s clear that Gwen is a spitting image of her mother (appearance, behavior, belief) he’s letting his guilt, grief , drinking and fear guide all of his actions. It’s clear his love for his kids and not wanting to see Gwen die in such a way as well- however the way he goes about it is … less than stellar.

Someone asked before but it’s Coke and Almonds on the coffee table. Like- so many almonds. It also kills me that the detectives are so frazzled they see it and just leave.

The fact the grabber is able to tell the difference between Finney sleeping and fake sleeping. Has he watched him multiple times? One of his many moods is very pouty and child like it’s-

So Griffin is weird to me. He’s strong enough to physically APPEAR to Finney but not enough to make the phone ring? He’s visible for a solid minute. Enough for the blood to make a sound and to point at the phone itself. He’s also the only one Able to do this! (All the boys can appear, except the only time we see them all do so is a brief flash infront of Gwen). So essentially. Griffin, Billy and Vance are the strongest when it comes to interaction in the physical world. Despite appearing thought, Griffin appears to be pretty weak.

“Nobody did… you spend so many years invisible then every kid in the state knows your name.” He needs a hug.

Technically Finney was rude to Vance first. *Phone rings* “No. fuck you”.

The use of the song Fox on the run for Vance is actually quite brilliant and creepy (post to come later)

Ellison grab and go (reference to Sinster? Another Ethan Hawke movie and his character name)

Finney’s survival at multiple points in the movie would not be possible without that pen

Getting long, look out for part 3!

Succession 1.1 "Celebration"

Kendall Roy: I wasn't about to get into a fucking big dick competition, okay? Logan Roy: I hear you bent for him. Kendall Roy: Wha… I what? Logan Roy: I hear you bent for him, and he fucked you. Kendall Roy: Well, no, actually. Logan Roy: You know, I know that you've read a lot of books about business management and this and that, but you know what? Kendall Roy: What? Logan Roy: Sometimes, it is a big dick competition.

#kendall being the only roy child to read business management books because he was essentially groomed for this role #and he doesn't know anything else because that's been his life's focus since he was a child #and stilll... nothing Kendall did would have ever been good enough #kendall roy #logan roy #succession #season 1 #succession 1.1 #1.1 #logankendall #logan x kendall #celebration #succession celebration #1st rewatch #screencaps #succession 1x1

Details p3

This is the last one! All of these got to be a little long.. but I hope they’re as helpful/enjoyable as they are to me.

I translated Robins bit and he calls the Grabber a Son of a bitch in Spanish. (Icon)

Something I love is how often the Boys say “Us/we” how they’ve basically formed a collective? They barely know themselves or each other but they are connected.

Love how Robin stays behind in the corner a few seconds longer after his call ends.

Funny but not funny is that Finney is such a pain in the ass that the grabber just wants to be done with him/forget everything else.

The phone breathes twice. The first time is after Finney is fully down there and it alerts him that the grabbers watching him. The second time is write before the grabber comes for the kill.

“Looks like you’ll find those naughty boys after all”

Sampson is like most dogs in movies, just happy to be there.

Grabber Is impeding on Micheal Myers brand. (Mask off, can’t function)

The bodies being wheeled out behind the scene of Mr. Blake and the kids

Either you forget what Finney’s hair looks like clean or he got a haircut before going back to school.

Details pt 1

So I have a notebook I write in whenever I see a new movie at home (in this case rewatching after I saw it in theaters) so here’s a collection of little details and such. Some of it is just lines I like etc. I’m not going to go after the common info but share some of the stuff I don’t see talked about a bunch! After this they’ll be some bigger posts, theories and some general musings/headcannon material.Here we go:

Bruce’s baseball team is The North Denver Optometrists(I laughed way harder than I should have), and Finney’s is “Front Ranger” which is? It sounds more like a sport company then a team? But this is also a Rec league and their names are likely because of the local businesses who sponsor them.

Mr.Blake works at Rocky Flats Nuclear (we see his uniform)

Intro is sometime in July when Bruce is taken. After the title sequence, it is October 13th

The school they go to is named Northwest Middle

Never realized Robin has Cheech and Chong on his Muscle Tee (he is an icon)

“The Grabber” Is the name all the local kids would refer to the killer as. It spread so much that the local news picked it up and started using it as the official name. (“Everybody calls him that, even the newspapers started using it”)

I like that they stay true to thr 70s with no backpacks except I don’t see any of those belt book strap things either? Everyone just Carry’s them or uses a small bag. Finney has a duffel bag.

Someone mentioned this before me but seeing the black van go by the school implies that The Grabber has a stalking period, where he follows a kid. Learns their patterns etc. (All except Robin were grabbed on their way home from school)

Gwen stays at Stacy’s every Friday. They must have some sort of agreement and I have to wonder if Stacy’s mom knows the reason she’d stay away from home so much?

When Robin is grabbed it’s November. There’s a time jump from the opening and bathroom scene to the main act of the movie.

The grabber not only Plays with Finney’s hair but carasses his face. It’s very soft and tender and there are tears in his eyes as he does this. It makes it so much creepier with how soft he’s being…and how touchy… yikes.

“I won’t make you do anything you won’t…like.” Similar to when he was playing with his hair. There are tears in his eyes, this soft break in his voice and it’s so creepy? It’s - someone said it before me but I think the Grabber wants them to want him? Like he has this twisted need to be warned/desired and it’s so interesting? But super creepy because- well little boys - but I think there’s a lot to unpack?

Added to the other. The “I just wanted to look at you. I’ll go” is the same whimpy voice, tears in his eyes situation? Like he appears genuinely hurt when Finney is rightfully creeped the fuck out and worried he’ll do something. (Someone said this before me but the grabber waits for them to incite it by playing the game)

This is getting long. Look out for part 2 !
