Hello there! Nice to meet you! 👋 I'm a huge fan of your gifs! I love your Michael Jackson gifs, they keep reminding me of the fact that he is the one true King of Pop, and they help me remember my childhood of listening to "Bad" and "Billie Jean" and "Workin' Day and Night" on blast on my Walkman in the 90s! (I'm a very early 90s baby 😅)
I can't speak for all of those anons, but I personally discovered "The Knights of the Quest" purely by accident. On YouTube, around the 15th anniversary of Heath Ledger's passing in 2023 (RIP), I was searching for "A Knight's Tale", a movie that Heath did in 2001 (the same year when "The Knights of the Quest" was released, coincidentally enough), and somehow I ended up seeing "The Knights of the Quest" among the search results, specifically the video that was uploaded in 2018 by the user called TVMovies. I saw Edward Furlong and Marco Leonardi in the video's thumbnail, and it took me a few seconds to realize that that was John Connor from "Terminator 2" and the teenaged Salvatore from "Cinema Paradiso"!
I have noticed that, in a few of his interviews since that video was uploaded in 2018, Furlong has occasionally been asked, or spoken, about "The Knights of the Quest", like in the Michael Rosenbaum podcast and Knockin' Doorz Down podcast, and the movie was implicitly mentioned in the Filling Time with Andy Roy podcast, and F. Murray Abraham was name-dropped in the Michael Biehn podcast specifically as Furlong's co-star in the movie. I'm totally just guessing here, but maybe those anons, and anyone outside of YouTube and Tumblr, discovered the movie the same way I did and that's why people are curious about the movie, curious enough to ask Furlong questions about it! We should salute the user TVMovies for uploading the movie onto YouTube and showing us Furlong's last major production before, sadly, the "Terminator 3" stuff happened.
And true, he does look emaciated and gaunt in the movie, but considering he admitted (in the Michael Rosenbaum podcast) that he got introduced to heroin while filming the movie in Italy in 2000, that's, unfortunately, probably one of the reasons why he looked that way. Sigh. Screw drugs, man. (Then again, he was always naturally skinny in his youth, but I know that his substance abuse at that time didn't help)
Finally, I saw an anon ask you about making gifs for a bunch of movies (in early May? Around that time?), and I do hope that you will get around to making gifs for all of those movies! But, take your time as well! No need to rush! ☺️
hello, hello, hello! nice to meet you too! thank you for loving my michael jackson and [edward furlong] gifs! i just created one from behind the scenes of “the way you make me feel.” i apologize for the very late reply and i hope that the new michael gifset makes up for it!
michael jackson is the undisputed king of pop—the one and only. the irreplaceable. always imitated and never duplicated. like you, i’ve worn out my walkman, discman and ipod with his discography. yeah, feeling like a fossil now lol. even now; whenever i make michael gifs, his songs are the only ones that i listen to. i miss him so much and making gifsets of him tends to make my days better. the crazy thing about being a gifmaker is that sometimes, it feels stressful as hell but i find it surprisingly serene in a way? it’s weird i know, but it gives me some comfort for some reason. love michael, forever and ever sobssss. may he rest in peace.
as i was reading your message, my mind was going “is this about michael or edward?”. and it’s about both and i’m shocked!!! i didn’t do the math for this, but having fans for both michael and edward is very rare in my opinion! so, a big welcome to my blog! welcome! welcome!
woahhhhh, i didn’t realize that the influx of anonymous requests regarding the “knights of the quest” gifsets comes from edward’s podcast interviews! like, i wouldn’t have guessed it at all! i actually assume that they were european fans or something because that movie is distributed in italy. in my eyes, i don't see edward as a skinny person due to his round cheeks and chin. overall, he just looks so freaking adorable plus his many dimples ughhh even more freaking cute??? i mean; even in his younger days, you can see his cute belly protruding out lollll. but yeah; i would have predicted the same that his first drug use was during the set of that foreign film because boy looked absolutely like a living corpse, to be honest. devastatingly handsome, but lawdddddd where has all his meat gone to?
ahhh yes, it was “new anon” that requested for edward's gifsets in early may! technically, i just follow the new anon’s request by the sequencing, so the next edward gifset will be from “detroit rock city.” i haven’t made up my mind on what to gif yet because there are so much gold in that film; but hopefully, the gifs will be out in a few days.
if anyone noticed, i usually alternate my gifsets between michael jackson and edward furlong. i’m also an extremely slow gifmaker, as ummmm ... anyone can tell. there’s no bone in me that could even hurry but don’t worry, i’ll get to making all the gif requests eventually! thank you so much for your ask again, silalcarin. have a great weekend!
