right so reportedly we got the karaoke scene in the movie because ryan gosling overheard sandra hüller singing to herself in some downtime on set and approached the directors to say "if we have her here and don't ask her to sing in the movie then we're insane," so the scene was hastily planned and recorded during the last day they had with that set; stratt grew up singing in an east german youth choir because hüller did, too. a fun meta textual wrinkle this adds is that gosling is also a singer but grace doesn't take a turn with the mic, so you can read the scene not just as stratt saying "I am a full human being, I just can't be for this project, you get to see it for two minutes before I turn it off again" but additionally "you could be doing this exact same thing but you aren't even willing to give us two minutes." his doomed work friend the trained choral singer, his fated bestie the being who communicates only through song, his world-saving probes named for the most famous musicians ever, his choir-based soundtrack underpinning all his actions, and his unwillingness to sing himself.

"ryan gosling can sing?" yeah mate! he had a band, la la land was a musical, he had that song in the barbie movie, and I think there was a lot of singing involved in being a mouseketeer but idk I'm ten years too young to have ever seen any of that. I'm quite partial to this clip from lars and the real girl because that is some very good control and support for someone lying on their back with their legs propped up. if you haven't seen the movie then don't even worry about the life sized doll btw she's great she works as a hairdresser.

#she doesn't work as a hairdresser she works in retail #but yeah rygos is a singer and they should let him sing more often #but its a very interesting choice to not have him sing in phm and i hella respect it

in the United Kingdom, people eat a street food known as the ‘tesco meal deal’, often made up of a sandwich, a side, and a beverage. it is renowned for being a cheap and easy option for many. however the more adventurous palate can opt for the ‘greggs sausage roll’ for a truly local flavour…

#whether the greggs sausage roll is the adventurous option or not depends on the meal deal #for example my go to is sushi pork pies dr pepper #so in that instance the sausage roll is the easy way out

sometimes i have strong opinions but they're also so inane that halfway through writing a post i'll be like "yeah, this is Absolutely not worth the energy it's taking" and delete everything. but then the opinion is still in my head. and i still want to share it. so within five minutes i go "you know, i bet i can phrase it more succinctly this time" and anyway. you all see where this is going. sometimes i do this four times in a row before i give up on the specific inane opinion and instead write a vague post about the concept of opinions as if that'll satisfy the urge to post the entirety of my inner monologue online. may or may not be relevant to what you're reading right now. and now all our lives have been enriched. you're welcome
