simu liu being cast as shang-chi is so surreal

can you imagine finding out that the guy in the stock photo cover of your accounting book is the new marvel hero??

Okay but now I want a comic book superhero who to pay the bills does stock photo shoots. And then they get captured by a member of their rogue’s gallery who unmakes them a la that issue with Green Lantern in the Golden Age.

“I know them!” exclaims one of the henchmen. “They’re an account at Benedictine University!”

if you are a believer in listening to minority groups talk about their experiences and problems then you better include disabled people in that because when we talk nobody seems to listen

Side Note To Fan Fic Authors

Here’s the thing.

I read a lot of scripts. A lot. From professionals to aspiring writers to complete newbies. Features and pilots. Specs and treatments.

And 8 times out of 10 the fan fic that I’ve read over the last, oh, 15 years is leagues better than this stuff. It’s more inspired. It’s more compelling. It’s genre bending and creative and heartfelt. It’s well-paced and intense and funny and sexy and meaningful. It’s smart and thoughtful and good. It’s novel-quality. Better than, sometimes.

Rare is the script I don’t want to put down, but how often have we stayed up until 3am to get to the last chapter of a 100k fic? And it’s not even a fan fic author’s day job. This is what they do on the side. In their spare time. For free.

So my point is, fan fic authors, you’re good. You’re good writers and great storytellers. I know it doesn’t always feel like it, especially if you’re one of the authors who’s not a BNF and doesn’t get the notes/hits that a few do. And because some people still view fic as “not real writing.” You guys know the shit that gets made into movies. You’re better than that. So be better than that. If writing is what you think want to do, then just know you’re already doing it. You’ve already started.

And you’re more talented than you might think.

I like to imagine little ghosts are cheering for you when you feel the most down. They must know what it feels like to be sad and alone, and they hope their ghostly encouragement can reach you! ♡

amazing double dance by hao ruoqi ( in blue)and wang xuerou(in red)

words-and-wonders

OH MY GOD OH MY GOOOOD A FEW THINGS ABOUT THIS:

the facial expressions

the effortless sensuality

I AM SO GAY

the inexplicable moment in which the dynamic between the two shifted like they changed bodies

did china allow this to be shown? china?

DID I MENTION THE GAY

what is the lore of this? I figured that it was a malevolent spirit shifting from one body to another

the part with the leg. you know which one I mean

seriously are they actresses cause this level of portrayal is more astounding than any Hollywood actress has ever amounted to

the end with the smile and the head grab and the beating heart

O H M Y G O D

For those wondering, the dance is based on a soul-switching scene from the movie Painted Skin II: The Resurrection and the music is Su Yunying’s Moment.

Princess Mononoke ‘もののけ姫’ 1997 · dir. Hayao Miyazaki

At the 1998 Grammy Awards, Pavarotti was too ill to sing Nessun Dorma. Aretha Franklin filled in on 20 minutes notice. This is the result.

kcsplace

Not only was the performance done on 20 minutes notice, she had no rehearsal and simply heard Pavarotti’s rehearsal once on a goddamn tape player and just listened, nodded and said she could do it. the most famous opera song in the world, on one of the biggest nights for music in the world, no rehearsal, and she just went out and did it.

that’s talent

WHERE IS THE REST I NEED IT.

hrefnasenna

More backstory: she’d performed Nessun Dorma at another event two days before, but got asked to take Pavarotti’s slot and basically instantly accepted— WHICH HAPPENED AFTER THE SHOW HAD ALREADY STARTED. (The producer didn’t hear he wasn’t coming until about 1:50 before he was supposed to be onstage.) She got a recording of Pavarotti practicing, and got to sit with his conductor and rehearse until it was time for her performance (the originally scheduled one) and for a bit of time afterwards. She didn’t know that there was a 30-strong backing choir or 50-piece orchestra till she saw it on her way down. What a queen.

here’s a working link for the performance, as the other one doesn’t work for me

I’m gonna tell ya if you watched that little moment and it fucking blew you away you have got to listen to the whole song. it’s short, take the time and listen. her range is amazing. you can hear the absolute power and control in her voice. and you can see her face and you know she knows she fucking nailed it.

anyway, I listened to it twice and burst into tears both times
