the problems with our flag means death could have been mostly resolved if they’d just not gone with real people’s names and had invented some imaginary guys who had never owned slaves but “stede bonnet” was too good a name to resist? stede bonnet? stede bonnet? whatever.

One of the things I love about Leverage is it would have been so easy to fumble Maggie: make her the tragic woman whose entire character is "lost her son" or make her the uptight straight woman to the team's hijinks, the life that Nate could have had, and escaped.

Instead she feels fully rounded. Yes, she's ostensibly "normal", doesn't understand the world the way the team does, doesn't really understand them and reacts to situations with a faith in authority they don't have. She's arguably far too trusting.

BUT she also happily leaps in to help a con. She's smart and incisive. She has a big heart. But a wicked sense of humour (the whole button cam thing!)

She's not threatened by Sophie and Nate, recognising the romantic part of her and Nate's relationship is over, but happy to build a new relationship with them both. Reminds Sophie that even when Nate calls her his wife, she calls him her ex.

She's deeply, deeply scarred by her loss but it hasn't made her closed off or bitter.

I totally think we should find out she ended up with Sterling, mind.

lex luthor's hatred of superman is entirely based in selfishness and ego. superman has what lex wants, no, deserves, and it makes him mad. he can't understand that superman is genuinely good, is helping people for the sake of it, because he can't do that. so superman must be up to something, and what better reason to make everyone love you than to take over the world?

in superman (1987) #2 lex investigates the connection between clark kent and superman, hires scientists to create a program to find it out, gathers evidence, and when he asks the machine, it tells him the truth. superman is clark kent. and yet, lex can not believe it. it's broken, it didn't work, because no being as powerful as superman would ever choose to act human. and he thinks this because he would, could never do so. although he casts superman as different, alien, other, he can not imagine a world in which superman isn't exactly like him, and doesn't want exactly what he wants. that's why he hates superman, because he can't fathom that not everyone is like him.

the thing is that everyone does actually want the skill set that comes with a humanities degree but a) they refuse to acknowledge that actual WORK goes into acquiring those skills and b) they want to do it all without actually reading a book

“Lilo and Stitch” 2002

Deleted Scene

Lilo plays a trick on the tourists.

IF YOU LIVED HERE YOU’D UNDERSTAND

I desperately need to understand

WHY

WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY

Was this scene cut from the movie??!!

Fucking christ, do you know what this would have done? What this would have meant to SO MANY people??  The truth of this is devastating. And to think it almost found it’s way into a DISNEY film??

The inclusion of this scene alone would have made it the greatest animated feature the company ever produced. Easily. And if you think that’s hyperbolic clearly you don’t understand.

No, really, if anyone knows why this was cut PLEASE let me know. 

[snoozlebee]

oh man WHY WOULD they cut this, this is so great, holy MOLY

[coelasquid]

It was clearly something the crew was very reluctant to get rid of if it made it all the way to rough-clean (and in a few scenes clean!), fully inbetweened animation. That is like, thousands and thousands of dollars and weeks (months?!) of labour. Maybe a reluctant producer decided they would alienate their white middle-class American audiences by making them feel “too guilty” and pressed them to drop it? It’s unfortunate, it’s one of the most honest accounts of racism in a Disney movie (which is why it’s believable that someone got uncomfortable and made a case to get it chopped)

Designing entertainment by committee for maximum marketability is probably the most heartbreaking process in Hollywood.

I’ve been seeing this around my dash and think it deserves some more recognition!

God I fucking love being a monk at the Monastery of Lindisfarne on this fine morning of June 8th, 793. I love looking at all the gold and silver objects and alive monks that live here.
