Imagining a Succession spin off and it’s a sitcom of Tom and Greg living together and getting into various shenanigans and the working title is Executive Level Funny Business
seriously what is there not to like about pacific rim we have idris elba aka the coolest man alive we have autistic gay scientists we have mako mori we have giant robots running on the power of love fighting giant monsters we have very cool visuals and excellent nerdy sci fi stuff we have an entire fucking ocean
one thing I love about Pacific Rim is that it has insanely great exposition. it gives you all the background information you need in the first few minutes of the movie.
"Giant monsters started appearing!" (~30 seconds of monsters destroying stuff)
"So we built giant robots to fight them!" (~30 seconds of giant robots fighting monsters)
screen goes black, caption appears: "FIFTEEN YEARS LATER"
you just don't get workmanship like that in other, lesser, movies.
people being shocked charlie day is the lead in a romantic comedy like “he can do romance???” he sure can bud lemme tell you about a little number called pacific rim
Newt Geiszler is such a fucking good character because on paper a “tatted up gay xenobiologist” sounds like the coolest guy ever until you remember he spends the entire movie bleeding out on the floor, getting chased by giant monsters, threatened by Ron Perlman, AND is played by Charlie Day.
THEY DIDN’T EVEN, FOR A SINGLE SECOND, CONSIDER THAT THEY WEREN’T DRIFT COMPATIBLE. IT WASN’T EVEN A FUCKING QUESTION.
Hey, sorry about your boyfriend, he’s being controlled by a kaiju monster now. Yeah, the kaiju you explored his body and mind with. It taught him how to dress slutty too. They totally cut you out of the polycule. Sorry.
someone in the makeup department for pacific rim did a great job adding the bloody nose and making his eye look irritated and perfecting the whole scruffy look. and then decided he needs to be in Lip Smacker Pink Lemonade Ultimate Kissable Lip Balm. and i applaud them for that choice.
the fact that newt and hermann canonically exchanged "passionate and fascinating" letters for four years before they met in person. the fact that, upon meeting face to face, they instantly disliked each other, and yet they were so obsessed with each other that they didn't just simply break things off, but actively antagonized each other just to have an excuse to stay in contact. the fact that they saw the kscience department get downsized and budget cut to hell until all that remained were two neurotic men with a literal line of tape dividing their lab. the fact that they began corresponding after the first kaiju attack, and they saw this all the way through to its end together. the fact that all they had was each other. the fact that they were drift compatible.
what’s funniest about the pacific rim scientists is like. when newt geiszler says he’s a scientist he means an old-timey 1910s entomologist wearing khaki shorts and a comically oversized pair of binoculars traipsing through the jungle capturing endangered species of butterfly and murmuring “egads!! fascinating…..” and scribbling it in his journal. when hermann gottlieb is being a scientist it’s literally the fucking manhattan project. tortured chainsmoking physicist. pawn of a war. repressed homosexual all his life. gets executed for being a communist. And they have to do each other’s peer review
i am literally never not thinking about my nerm school of rock au [ID: Two screencap redraws from the movie School of Rock, but of Newt and Hermann from Pacific Rim. Newt is in the drivers seat of a sticker covered van, talking to a flustered, flushed Hermann who's gesturing wildly at himself. The outside is autumn and brown, making the scene warmly lit.
Newt: People are intimidated by you... you're a little high strung.
Hermann: The other teachers hate me. (Newt: What? Pff no--!) No, they do, they hate me. Look, I wasn't always like this- I used to be fun! But you can't be a principal and be fun! There parents have no sense of humor- one thing goes wrong and they will come down on me like a nucelear bomb! /END ID]
fellas is it gay to antagonize your lab partner by randomly dipping him (twitter) [ID: Newt from Pacific Rim is dramatically dipping a very flustered Hermann, who's gripping Newt's shirt in panic. He's yelling "Newton!" Newt says "Oh, relax. My dad made me take ballroom, I know what I'm doing, dude." Hermann continues, "You do not have the upper body strength to support-" "The eight of your massive ego? I understand your concern, frankly." /END ID]
he left for an hour to get them bagels and came back to this
Does your boyfriend re-animate the dead , is trans and evil? That's not ur boyfriend that's Herbert West
