POOR THINGS (2023) + Letterboxd Reviews

not romantic not platonic but a secret third thing [what would happen between earth and the moon if the earth stopped spinning as illustrated by xkcd randall munroe]

[hasgavlebockenburneddownyet]

Why do people like burning the goat? Is arson just that cool and sexy over in Sweden (and the world as a whole?)

Winter dark and sad lets do an arson about it :)

Did I watch this several times?

Yes.

Did I giggle every time?

Also yes.

[sensicalabsurdities]

This is a masterpiece. I don’t think you need to have even read or watched Pride and Prejudice to appreciate this, though of course if you actually know Pride and Prejudice this goes from funny to hysterical.

I thought y'all were doing the whole "two guys from an old TV show spent a lot of time in the same shot so we headcanon them as gay" thing with House MD. Like I expected to be disappointed but no, if anything the show is SIGNIFICANTLY more gay than I was led to believe. House and Wilson really are in a toxic quasi platonic quasi not relationship that hurts them both that they just cannot let go of without losing an integral part of themselves, meaning they are each the one "stable" point in each other's lives. They enable each other in incredibly fucked up ways. At first glance they seem like the stereotypical "straight laced meets bad boy" but no, one of them dates their dying patients and steals someone's spoon to run it through a cancer test to settle a bet and comes up with clever little manipulative plots to subtly torture the other one in the name of helping them and it is not House.

Also both of them just act a lot more gay than I anticipated. Like House talks a LOT about how pretty Chase is and seems to know the ins and outs of the gay scene really, really well. And Wilsons actions towards House just cannot be explained away platonically, like if that man does not desire House carnally what the actual fuck is he doing. He runs to House when he's getting divorced from his wife even though he could afford a hotel room and then House fucks with him while also trying to trick him into staying and he STILL DOESN'T LEAVE for like another couple of weeks like what kind of insane psychosexual old man yaoi is going on here.

They're both just so fucked up and such terrible people and it is so fascinating.

sorry for having great tits and correct opinions on everything. as if its my fault

**whispers in your ear** can i be a bitch for a second

[himejoshikomaeda]

being a dom is only cool if people like you. otherwise it's super embarrassing. if you're a sub you can be like "ahhh i wanna get fucked superrr hard >w<" and it's kind of endearing. if you're a dom and you say "i want to FUCK someone.. who will be mommys little KITTY today .." and no one actually wants to have sex with you, you may as well kill yourself. because there's no coming back from that

callback to the time I wrote literal pages of lore and worldbuilding, including a universe with a creation story, afterlife metaphysics, and a timeline featuring the rapture, a divine astral plane turf war, and the introduction of gods and magic to the modern mortal world

for a kink scene where I roleplayed as a sexy demon lady

I workshopped my character's name, voice and personality and wrote an entire universe to hold her. for a scene that lasted about an hour. if that's not DMing but for sex I don't know what is

[coralei]

your honor ive been murdered

[earnest-peer]

Good news: At that level of prep I don't think it's improv anymore.

Bad news: turned on by amateur theater

[callmebliss]

Good news: there are so many of us amateur theater nerds in the world

does anyone else think it’s crazy how we just casually reference “the pandemic” now. i catch someone in conversation saying “during the first quarantine…” and as comfortable as it feels to hear and say now, there’s still a twinge of like…. i cannot believe we’re using these words in real life in reference to real events. this isn’t a scifi movie this isn’t a young adult post apocalyptic novel we’re literally casually discussing a global pandemic that ravaged the entire world and it was REAL ?

Hey y'all why are writers always cold?

[run-remi-run]

...why?

[writing-in-the-grave]

They're always surrounded by drafts!

How many mystery writers does it take to change a lightbulb?

[run-remi-run]

Oh god.

How many?

[writing-in-the-grave]

Two! One to change the bulb, and the other to give it an unexpected twist at the end!

What do writers have for breakfast?

[run-remi-run]

Coffee?

Synonym buns!

Where do all the struggling writers live?

[run-remi-run]

How are you coming up with all these?

Where?

(I've heard a lot of them over the years.)

[run-remi-run]

Allergies. Next question.

[writing-in-the-grave]

you were close; A case of allegories

Why are writers always in great shape?

[run-remi-run]

Circular prose

[writing-in-the-grave]

Nope! It's because we're always running out of ideas!

Did you hear about the famous writer who turned out to be a fraud?

[run-remi-run]

I did not

[writing-in-the-grave]

His life had it's prose and cons...

Why is editing a better job than writing?

[run-remi-run]

It's more rewording?

[writing-in-the-grave]

Correct! I am out of jokes. :(

You are a supervillain who has just captured your rival’s child. Rather than being afraid, they’re begging you to let them stay.

[wingedcat13]

Frankly, you’d known those idiots had had a kid for years now. You’d pretended not to, because while you’d committed a lot of atrocities in your life, you weren’t willing to face the moral quandary of whether you would knowingly kill a child just to spite its parents.

They probably thought they were being clever though, what with the blaming you for an injury you knew damn well you’d never given keeping one of them out of commission for a few months, then references to what they would ‘leave behind’ or ‘could not follow’ when in the latest death trap. One of them had accidentally pulled a pacifier out of their utility belt once, and tried to pass it off as being prepared for any young children they came across while rescuing.

Idiots.

Still, you had standards. Standards that fell somewhere past war crimes and before common decency, but they were standards.
