it actually makes me so soft that shane, despite not being into the ghost scene as much or even believing in them, is down to do whatever ryan asks him to do during ghost investigations because hey that’s his buddy.

on the other hand, ryan, despite being so annoyed at shane’s elaborate silly little stories (as we saw during the hot daga) , agrees to act out however shane asks him to during puppet history to add to the crazy lore because hey shane’s just being his creative goofy self and that’s his best friend of course he’d do what he’s asked to.

No. No one is immune to this scene in “Vincent and the Doctor.” It’s the most beautiful scene ever recorded in any medium. It’s flawless and I love it and I watch it every time it passes my dash.

Tony Curran is the actor who played Vincent so flawlessly, and Bill Nighy is the man praising him.

i have a hot take about vine and tik tok if you allow me

vine’s entire concept was “show don’t tell” while tik tok’s entire concept is “tell don’t show”

might risk sounding like an Old Fart but i want to elaborate what i mean:

sometimes i will see Tiktoks that are just people talking to a camera about a thing that happened to them and then at the end… won’t even show the thing they’re talking about. they’re just talking to a camera. that or the few staged jokes take waaaaaay too much time to get to the punchline, and the punchline isn’t even funny (and the acting is bad)

meanwhile on vine, you only had 7 seconds, and in 7 seconds you could have anything happen, and a dude said “back at it at krispy kreme” and did backflips and kicked out a sign in his final flip and the video just cut with no explanation, and it was the greatest vine on earth

Reasons why the Benoit Blanc movies work so well

  • They are about women of color with everyday jobs (nurse, teacher)
  • These women are treated terribly by rich assholes in completely pedestrian and everyday ways that women of color with everyday jobs are treated in real life
  • These women get extremely cathartic justice in the end
  • The movie does not star Benoit Blanc, he is merely the driving vehicle for the mystery
  • He is barely a character, he is a plot device.
  • All we learn about Benoit Blanc in the first movie is:
  • He is a famous detective
  • He was so famous he was on magazines
  • Literally everyone knows who he is because of previous mysteries he has solved
  • These previous mysteries are not explained or even given any details, all we know is that they happened and he got famous for them
  • He has a kind heart
  • He has a Southern accent that continually shifts back and forth across the Delta
  • This is neither explained nor commented on
  • All we learn about Benoit Blanc in the second movie is:
  • He lives with a partner (marital status unknown) who is
  • A: British
  • B: Done with his shit
  • C: Trying to learn how to make sourdough starter in the pandemic
  • He plays Among Us with celebrities
  • He is very bad at mystery games such as Among Us and Clue
  • That’s it. That’s all we learn about him.
  • This is fantastic because these new details provide zero additional context to the unexplained force of nature that is Benoit Blanc, he just strolls into someone else’s movie, tells them they are good people, and gives them closure against rich assholes.
  • It is not Benoit Blanc’s movie. It is a movie with Benoit Blanc in.
  • The movies are mysteries with lots of twists and turns but they never make the audience feel stupid. This is because
  • All of the twists are foreshadowed by scenery details, camera angles, and other things deliberately left in the shot.
  • This rewards both the keen-eyed and the additional rewatchers
  • All of these twists are extremely well hidden on the first viewing
  • This rewards those who enjoy trying to work it out and enjoying them as they come
  • The correct reaction to guessing twists before they happen is that they were very well foreshadowed, not that the writers weren’t good enough at tricking the viewers, like some writers who put in twists that are completely out of left field and unsupported by the previous text because they don’t want their audience to guess.
  • Ben Shapiro didn’t understand the second one, which is just a nice bonus.
  • The fucking. Cameos. Are delightful, not hackneyed.
  • The fucking cinnamon tography.
  • Every camera angle is a masterpiece. Every still frame is a painting.
