Me at 3 am trying to get back to sleep

Me RIGHT NOW goddammit shuuuut uuuuuup

what's the first movie you remember seeing in theaters? don't try and be all edgy and cool and say like tetsuo: the iron man. be honest.

Go!!

It’s entirely possible that I give a different answer to this every time. I keep thinking of movies I saw as a child in the mid-70s like Benji (74) or Escape From Witch Mountain (75) that I know I saw because I loved them. And of course lots of Disney stuff.

But I have a clear, sitting-in-the-theater memory of seeing Star Wars (1977) so I’m going to go with that. I remember being blown away. Ah to see something like that brand new again, lol.

The Thomas Crown Affair (1999) (currently on Tubi) is one of the only movies that actually feels like a romance novel.

--Rene Russo and Pierce Brosnan at their peak late 90s, "you're bi, actually" hotness

--Rene Russo is a grown-ass woman who's totally age appropriate for Pierce and has a ridiculous job "insurance investigator" like sure but you're investigating art crime so

--Pierce is a billionaire; I don't know how he did that; he steals incredibly famous masterpieces for fun and because he's bored, as we learn through his Faye Dunaway therapy sessions

--he genuinely just likes her from the jump, she likes him from the jump, they understandably wanna fuck hard, so even though she's investigating him for art crime and he knows this, they do, after a dance in which Rene Russo wears one of the greatest movie dresses ever, a completely sheer black gown that drapes over her body better than any dress ever, probably

--and they do a ridiculous dance in public and he goes "do you wanna dance or do you wanna DANCE" and they have what looks to be actually fun sex all over his fancy house, including the stairs, and there is much frolicking

--he also takes her to an island and they sail, I don't know how Rene is doing her job, does it matter, this is a Harlequin Presents x Blaze in that it has the billionaire jetsetting aspects of a Presents and the sex and insanity of a Blaze

--they spend what feels like half the movie naked, at one point they're just talking comfortably about his blatant crimes while he likes naked on his stomach and Rene Russo lies on his back, intimacy like this does not exist in cinema anymore

--Rene Russo looks completely glorious throughout this movie; Piece is full Pierce; it is everything

--there is so much CASUAL AFFECTION we live in a cold DEAD society today

#the fact that they are both over 45 in this film is PIVOTAL to the outright sexiness of their joint and individual vibes #like over 45 IRL as actors as well as the characters clearly being People Who Are Not 30 #and the love scenes are not even graphic - it’s all very out of focus and american anyway! #but their dynamic: unmistakably hot #you know what it is? ​it’s the fact that they laugh #it absolutely sells it: these people WANT to be here #anyway thomas crown 99 > thomas crown 68 #it just is a much more enjoyable film about two adults who are both smarter than everyone else in the room AND #are also capable of being just extremely juvenile beyond anyone else in the room #they’ve both been waiting for a friend to ‘yes and?’ their bits for their entire life #and they finally meet someone who can and will enthusiastically ‘yes and?’ them #and it’s someone on the opposite side of a heist #ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS #and poor normie dennis leary has to deal with both of them and he suffers #every day he has to deal with their bizarre rich person mating dance and he suffers

Holy shit this is one of my favorite films of all time, so glad to see love for it here.

Yes to all the above. The chemistry is insane, it is a rare instance where the male and female leads are the SAME AGE, mid-forties, and they look like it—which is to say they look like beautiful, well-taken-care-of, in-great-shape fortysomethings, not like freeze dried, botoxed, lifted, steroided, dehydrated fortysomethings.

Also the clothes are impeccable. Rene Russo is so fucking chic, 24 years later. You will change your entire aesthetic after watching this movie.

This stuffed bird was sealed in the frozen barrows of Pazyryk, Siberia, for more than two millennia, where a unique microclimate enabled it to be preserved. The permafrost ice lense formation that sits just beneath the barrows provides an insulating layer, preventing the soil from heating during the summer and allowing it to quickly freeze during the winter; these conditions produce a separate microclimate within the stone walls of the barrows themselves, thereby aiding in preservation.

This is just one of the many well-preserved artifacts that have been found at Pazyryk. These artifacts are attributed to the Scythian/Altaic cultures.

society really lost the war when dressing nice / slutty = “gay” “metrosexual” “is he 💅🏻”. we had decades of men wearing crop tops and short shorts without blinking an eye and now it’s ye ole pilgrim standards and talk of scandal if they show their knees

they were FASHIONISTAS!!! and we SHAMED them!!!

MANNY JACINTO as Logan Santos in I Want You Back (2022)

EVERY time, I’m astonished to discover that the smoking hot guy is Manny Jacinto. What are you?

I got my Covid booster today and now I’m shivering under the covers with my post booster malaise. This blows. EVERY time.

Night falls, the biorhythm cycles back, I’m shivering in my bed again. Feh.

thanks guys

these aus are the best ones in the whole world and I will not be denied

💯

There’s nothing funnier than American Trad Caths revealing that they’re just Presbyterians that think Baroque looks cool

Oh my fucking god all this is too fucking funny. Lucking forward to having an anti-pope in Houston, Texas. Instead of the pointy hat maybe he can wear a white cowboy hat.

I need people to stop being so funny because I can’t keep re blogging this shit

When you regress into doctrine so hard you loop around to the other side and reinvent Protestantism. Pinned-posting your 95 theses on your Twitter wall. Get the welcome potluck together, Lutherans!
