Yknow Catching Fire (book and movie) is fantastic... but one scene from the movie (it has been a while since I reread the book so maybe this scene is in it, I can’t remember) is brilliant...
Brilliant bc it showcases Katniss’s core, just as much as any of the time she’s explicitly talked about her family being the reason she needs to keep going... and it’s when she gets picked up by the D13 hovercraft at the end of the movie, she’s just discovered Haymitch, Plutarch and Finnick, and they’re telling her all about the revolution and all she can ask is about Peeta...
Meanwhile, Plutarch, who maybe had a read on Katniss’s personality but maybe not how stubborn and one-minded she can be, thinks for a hot second that Katniss would be prepared to be mission-focused and understand the decisions they’ve made and is all “you’ve been our mission from the start. You’re The Mockingjay and this is the revolution” and it’s hilarious that he had the brief idea she would at all care about that...
Haymitch obviously knows her better, knows they’re gonna be hard pressed to convince Katniss of anything when they actively abandoned Peeta, and he is also not there as the counter-voice of reason...and also knows, despite briefly trying to divert with the “good news” that they know where he is, that they can’t keep trying to hide that Peeta’s in the Capitol...
She’s briefly surprised by the District 13 mention but otherwise only asks “where’s Peeta?” And I deeply enjoy that...
RELATIVITY: A Time Travel Thriller For The YouTube Generation
Spectacular tales of time travel, such as H.G. Wells’ classic novel THE TIME MACHINE, the long-running BBC series DOCTOR WHO, and the BACK TO THE FUTURE trilogy (just to name a few) have thrilled audiences for decades. The new, non-linear sci-fi series RELATIVITY is a special entry into that p... http://snobbyrobot.com/2017/03/20/relativity-a-time-travel-thriller-for-the-youtube-generation/
You know, I really liked Mr and Mrs Holmes back when they were ordinary caring parents, with Mrs Holmes being the brilliant mathematician. I’m not really happy that they’ve been turned into parents who didn’t seek help for their daughter even after she cut herself open to see how “muscles worked”, couldn’t figure out pain, and spent all night making Sherlock scream in terror. Seriously, anyone with even basic common sense would know that someone with those kinds of issues needs to be in a hospital getting professional help immediately!
Then there was a CHILD who was MISSING and, based on her stupid little song, clearly in MORTAL DANGER. And they didn’t even call the POLICE?! Hello??? You just hear them talking vaguely disappointed and sadly that they just can’t get her to say anything. Like she’s hidden a box of cookies or something. It’s a farking CHILD! NOBODY IS THAT FARKING CALM AND RESIGNED WHEN A CHILD IS MISSING AND PRESUMED IN DANGER!
What. The. Actual. Fuck. Mofitss? You made them into these horrible negligent intellectually stupid parents who literally are incapable of basic common sense decisions or even raising their voice when a child is in life threatening danger. Which is the complete opposite of what you showed in His Last Vow. Character continuity. How does it work?
Me maintaining character continuity within my own au
Me writing whatever comes to mind with complete disregard for what I've previously written
Y'know what I realised bothered me a lot about the Hobbit? The lack of continuity in dwarvish reactions.
Even in the first five minutes, I was thinking "WTF?!" because none of them seemed to care that oh, btw, several of our relatives may have just been burned alive in Laketown, lol. They say "Oh, those poor souls", but one of them has potentially lost his nephews to the flames. One of them has lost a brother! WTF? Where is the big emotion there?
To say nothing of the changing their mind about cheering on Thorin's mad plan and then going "DUDE THE HELL!?!?!?" for no apparent change in reason shortly thereafter. Seriously, "the other dwarves are fighting three armies and it took me several hours to realise they are outnumbered and dying on our behalf because Thorin can't pull his head out of his arse". Quick, go! Go and save funny BillyCOnnelly!Dwarf and his piggy steed!
And why oh why did the directors make it a thing that the dwarves randomly swarm in straight lines for dramatic moments. Dramatic moment or farewell or observation of a character being so damned majestic his hair billows without wind? He will inevitably turn to find a line of dwarves looking at him. HOW DID THEY SNEAK UP ON HIM? THEY WEAR ARMOUR AND METAL BOOTS! IS HE DEAF? DOES HE NOT HEAR THE CLATTER OF METAL-CLAD FEET?
On why you can't write part of a smart show
Because during the other part, you'll be pissing off all of the intelligent people you attracted in the first place, who will inevitably be critical of character inconsistency, gaps in plot lines, and cliche stereotypes that would have never made sense
