I don't have a favorite flower but I have a favorite plant which is the Prickly Pear and the Prickly Pear has natural flowers which are simply called Prickly Pear Flowers. I am now Prickly Pear!
For people upset that Devil's Minion kinda got together off screen please remember this season is Lestats pov and he doesn't know everything that's happening, he even kinda says this in a scene with Daniel and Louis, especially if Armand is blocking his mind from him and taught Daniel to do the same. Their focus will probably come more in Season 4 cause thats when Daniel's turning is gonna be shown and then Devil Minion 70s-80s era will be dived into. Don't jump to negative conclusions.
You know when there's like, a straight show and everyone's like "it's full of queer subtext between the main straight dudes, and this character is obviously autistic and they really meant to say trans rights"? And then there's a queer show and all of a sudden it's "no but they weren't sensitive about this character's trauma and the queer sex scenes are too short and they're all problematic as fuck, i can't even watch"? And then our shit doesn't get renewed, and we hated on it the whole way for not embodying the perfection we'd never dream of demanding from the straight show?
Yeah, something like that
you’re hearing it more and more
Spotify Premium ad: “Imagine playing music without interruptions! Infinite skipping! Replay the song you want! And even do it offline? No ads! Whatever songs you want! For a small monthly payme-” Me: *nods, turns off Spotify and turns on my MP3 player and does all the things they offer, but for free and with songs they don’t even have*
For those of you who might not know how to do any of this:
To convert CD audio into mp3s, you just follow the steps here
To play mp3 files, you download an mp3 player like Winamp here and away you go
On mobile? There are plenty of free mp3 players for your phone available, too, so check them out
You don’t need to be tethered to an online streaming service for your music. Be free.
You can also rip audio files from youtube and find files all over the internet. It is far easier to come across great and lesser known music if you dont limit yourself to spotify.

Ruben won't dance with Mona, but he danced with Niall. I mean, he was high at the time, but it still counts

15. This is Spinal Tap
Logged May 10
I don't know why I didn't watch this sooner because I knew I would love it, and I did! I loved every second of it. It also blew my mind because I had no idea that the episode of The Nanny where Fran impersonates a woman named Bobbi came from this, or that this is where the song Stonehenge fucking came from. Supernatural plays that song in one of my favorite episodes, Simon Said, that I must have seen 100 times, so when they started singing it in Spinal Tap I felt like that gif of DiCaprio snapping and pointing his finger at the TV. I had encountered bits of this movie for years and never knew it, which in itself is incredible.
This is another one of those additions to the criterion that seems so random but I'm glad its there. I just loved this so much. If you don't like mockumentaries, I would still suggest you watch it, cause its a fantastic display of dry humor used right and is just silly. The guys are so dumb, and I could watch a whole series of them just doing nonsense. Especially Nigel. He reminded me of Ozzy lol Every scene of him, I just saw Ozzy.
Also David, Nigel and Jeanine should have had a threesome. Feels like someone they would honestly have done.

To me Ep 5 really shows how Ruben and Niall are really the only people who could match each other, go toe to toe in their own unique, fucked up way. They're terrible for each other and make each other worse, but they are very much built for each other. Niall sees Ruben's rage, he may be afraid of it, but he isn't as weary of it as everyone else. He treats the rage as something that's just a part of Ruben and therefore acceptable. He just wants Ruben to control it better and not direct it to him. Then Ruben sees that dark side in Niall that no one seems capable of noticing until its too late. He sees it and thinks nothing of it unless it's becoming a problem for him personally, and enjoys when it comes out to play all the same.
They're the worst kind of soulmates and all of Scotland will suffer.
Everyone joking that Ruben is always smelling Niall yet couldn't pick up his scent on the robe but what if he did recognize the scent and was just saying that to see what Niall would say- admit, defend Mona, suggest a fake name, etc? What if he figured it out but doesn't care cause it's fine if Niall had sex with Mona since he and Ruben are the same soul, or because Niall is also someone he "owns" so its just his two wives getting down and yeah that's fine, nothing wrong with that lol
If he doesn't know and finds out later and that is his reaction, it's honestly going to be so fucking funny.
As for poor Benji, Ruben already had an inkling that Mona was sleeping around so he was itching to do something anyway and Benji invoked the wrath of Naill himself when Mona admitted to having previous affairs, which Niall assumes included Benji, so he sets his rapid rottweiler on him.
Also does this episode imply that Niall LET Alby get beat up because we see that he is capable of calming Ruben down. That scene alone changed everything about Niall's reactions to Ruben's temper for me. Its def happened before too, he knew what to do and didn't seem shocked that he did so, like "wow I can't believed I stopped him," its clearly something he's done before and yet, he couldn't save Alby. Was he just not trying hard enough or were his attempts to pull Ruben away half assed as a way to "punish" Alby for trying to out him? Maybe he was going to let it go on for a minute before stopping Ruben but wasn't able to cause he got pushed against the cabinet and was knocked out. That scene makes me look at the Alby assault differently. Just theorizing. Haven't done this for a tv show in a long time, forgot how fun it is lol

14. Blue Velvet
Logged April 29
I've been diving into Lynch lately. I went from hardly seeing any of his work to starting this year with Twin Peaks, Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive, and Blue Velvet. Gotta say, I'm loving how weird as fuck his work is. I know he's famous for being surreal, but it's one thing hearing about it and another thing to actually see it. So far, Lost Highway is my favorite. Gave me chills.
Blue Velvet, though, didn't connect with me the way I think it connects with a lot of other people. I enjoyed it, really liked it actually, but given what I heard about it beforehand, I think I was just a bit underwhelmed. It's so beloved and considered to be the top Lynch film by a vast majority, but I don't know, I think I found it to be too straightforward compared to his other work that I've seen. It's the theme of uglyness underneath a polished surface in heavy abundance. That's something Lynch seems to love playing with. It's all over Twin Peaks. The exploration of corruption where no one expects it or evil that everyone pretends to not see. However, I wasn't fully on board with the way he shows this contrast here. Basically, I found every part of the "ordinary" world to be kinda dull. Love Laura Dern, but her little love story with Kyle MacLachlan kept pulling me out of the narrative cause I just did not care. I understand the reason for her to be here, that she needs to be a high contrast to the world of Frank Booth and Jeff's darker relationship with Dorothy, but I just wasn't a fan of that half. On the other hand, just like Jeffrey getting sucked into that darker world, unable to resist it, I was captivated by everything happening in the underbelly of this quiet, white picket fence slice of suburbia. Frank's main introduction to the audience, "Shut up! It's daddy, you shithead, where's my bourbon?" will never leave me. He certainly lived up to the reputation of being one of cinema's most twisted characters for me.

Niall and Ruben are basically Tobias Beecher and Chris Keller from OZ
They even gave Niall a trauma induced rat slut era. He's literally Tobias lol and anyone who watched OZ can tell you that as pathetic Tobias acted, he was demented when you let him loose 😂 he's Niall. No debate.

*Spoilers*
Just so confused about the preview for next week cause it has Ruben making Niall spy on his wife and then before Ruben seemingly beats someone up/kills someone?? you hear Ruben shout at Niall "she told you fucking everything" or something like that.
Like what?? What did she tell him? Fucking what? Who is he beating up? What does this mean? When does Niall's book drama get crammed in here? There's too much going on! This is like an Agatha Christie violent gay soap opera

13. Come and See
Logged April 26
There is a way to encapsulate this film perfectly, and it comes from the biblical passage that gives it its name. "And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard a voice of the fourth beast say Come and See. And I looked, and behold a pale horse; and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed him." -Revelations 6:7-8
It's a hellscape filled with death, it feels like you've walked into Dante's Inferno and all you can do is watch. I'm not going to be able to put my feelings about this film into words the way I want because I can't properly describe the feeling it creates. You just feel heavy. It's hard to watch and hard to get through, and it makes you feel heavier the longer it goes, all the way until the end where you're close to feeling empty despite the heavy weight crushing you down. If you want to compare it to any other film, the only one that comes close is Apocalypse Now, but I don't think even that captures the human cruelty, soullessness, and pointlessness in the way that Come and See does.
It's strangely beautiful. So many shots, paired with continuous long takes that just follow people around, are picturesque like a haunting painting that you don't want to look at but can't help staring at. It's impactful because it shows the ground, the people, instead of the actual war, and often lingers on the aftermath of a massacre rather than showing the action or glorifying it. It strips everything a viewer might think is "cool" about war and shows only the somber cruelty.
