i read the book years ago, but it's still very funny to me that one method genghis khan used in controlling his empire was to marry his daughters off as queens to vassal states and then go, "now since you're my son-in-law, you have to fight in my battles for me" and just put his son-in-law in a place to for SURE get killed, thus leaving his daughter as the ruler of her new land.

like ig unfortunate if you actually liked your husband, but pretty W circumstances if you didn't. husband's a dick? just wait like one or two sons and then papa will handle that for you.

enjoy your new queendom, baby girl <3.

"modern" spinning wheels are either funky Leonard of Quirm designs that cost like $2,000 or they look like they belong on a shelf at Ikea

[scribefindegil]

finally decided to sit down and watch the incredibles again. there will be no commentary because i’m gonna be too busy watching it

[autumnhobbit]

okay i just gotta say

having been married for 3 years now (almost), i really love how bob & helen argue. when i was a kid it just came off to me that everyone in this movie was being super mean for no reason but when you watch it as an adult it’s different. i really appreciate that even when bob is frustrated/angry he basically never lashes out at helen or the kids, his problem is he’s withdrawn and existantialling. i also really appreciate that when they do fight they’re actually more expressing their frustration than attacking each other. it’s only later when things get real that helen (understandably) gets really angry.

[autumnhobbit]

also edna’s advice is actually really good, helen’s just melting down over the idea of losing her husband (which is sweet and helps us understand her character) but edna tells her to confront it immediately, hold bob to account by leaning into his concern (all his heroics being forgotten) and reminding him that she’s a super, too. direct action is a blessing in communication.

[autumnhobbit]

i love how the movie communicates bob’s competency, like he’s actually handling all the twists and turns of the situation rapidly deteriorating very well, the only thing that throws him off is when his family gets involved. we also see helen’s competency in the plane scene and how she immediately knows something’s up when no one responds on the radio

[autumnhobbit]

syndrome is such a fucking good villain, saying ‘i seem to recall you prefer to work alone’ and laughing at him when he believes he’s murdered the guy’s wife and kids???? holy fuck

as previously mentioned bob breaking down and sobbing alone in the containment room shaped my personality

[autumnhobbit]

ah the good old days of 2004 when having a voluptuous mom ass was a bad thing. good riddance, we don’t miss you.

also the it’s a neat little parallel to bob’s body image struggles, they really went to great lengths to showcase that these people are equals & soulmates

[autumnhobbit]

the kids are really well-written too, they feel very authentically their age and they both have motivations, the writing does a great job of showing how the gravity of the situation sinks in for them and forces them to rise to meet it. dash especially fascinates me in this movie because he’s just the right balance between immature and starting, just starting to get that life is a big deal and stakes are real and you’ve got to care about what you’re doing and try to do the right thing in every situation. the way the kids instinctively protect each other even though all we’ve seen of them so far in the movie is antagonism is just *clenches fist* so good

The Incredibles is incredible on every level

[ave-aria]

I appreciate the "there will be no commentary because i’m gonna be too busy watching it" followed by 8 of the truest takes on the movie, respect.

Honestly, I think my favorite thing that I picked up on while watching Knives Out: Wake Up Dead Man is the fact that Monsignor Wicks is 100% making up the fact that he’s a Monsignor.

If you don’t know, in the Catholic Church, “Monsignor” is an honorary title bestowed upon a priest by the pope (usually from a recommendation from their bishop) for above and beyond service and work to the church. So if that archbishop in the beginning warned Fr. Jud about Wicks there’s not a snowball’s chance in hell he recommended him to the Pope. And there’s no way the Pope would bestow that upon a guy like Wicks on his own.

This means that “Monsignor” Wicks absolutely 100% bold face lies about having that title to make himself look better. Also, fun fact, “monsignor” is generally understood to mean “my lord” and Wicks certainly acts like he’s their lord to worship rather than The Lord. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
