Superman desperately scanning the street during a fight to find the most morally acceptable car to throw at his opponent, knowing that not everybody has insurance, and loss of transportation can ruin a life -
A wave of incredible relief washes over him as he spots the hard geometric lines and silver paintless sheen of a Cybertruck.
there should be more queer spaces centered around drinking, casual sex, smoking cigarettes, drugs, all that stuff

I've seen a lot of criticism towards the birth scene in 28 years and I find it odd because obviously that scene meant something and no one wanted to actually think about it further than "that was weird"
like for one it shows Isla's character perfectly, she is, for one, a mother and she knows what it's like to deal with pregnancy so her first thought was empathy towards the infected woman, the scene quite brilliantly shows her fearlessness and caring nature in one by having her reach out to her, and shows her quick thinking despite her illness often getting in the way with her almost instinctively knowing what to do to help the infected woman, to me it's on par with the scene of Isla waking up in the night to stop the infected from hurting Spike
on the other side of it you have the infected, the scene shows that, at the end of the day, the infected are actually still people, they're just sick, we see the infected woman in pain, she's alone and vulnerable and struggling, and we see her accept help, and when she gives birth baby Isla is healthy and free of infection, showing that inside the infected are just like everyone else
during the first half of the movie the infected are likened to animals, they are called "it" by Jamie, who also regales the town with highly embellished stories of Spike's kills, they are shot through bushes and with night vision as if they're the subjects of an animal planet documentary, but once Spike goes out on his own we see them in a new light, and this scene in particular is one of the times where the movie highlights the fact that they are still human
if you wanted to go a step further you could even relate the birth scene to the greater themes of the film as a whole, the pregnant infected is isolated from the rest of her group when she needs them most, much like how the UK is isolated from the rest of the world when they need it most, Erik, a character from the outside world, is the only one in the group who doesn't want to help
obviously if you applied real world logic to the scene and the baby it wouldn't make sense but that's not the point of it, you're meant to suspend your disbelief and look past the logistics of it to find the deeper meaning behind it, that's what storytelling is all about
What if your BOYFRIEND was getting DEPORTED and had to move back to CANADA so you decide to MARRY him but then you chicken out so your FRIEND says that SHE will marry him and then he decides to platonically marry your gay FRIEND instead and then you tell them to KISS but you immediately realize they are in LOVE and then the POWER goes OUT because your OTHER friend didn’t PAY the dumb ELECTRICAL BILL
why do people hate subtitles. I kinda need those chat
cannot get louis and stack meeting out of my mind now. stack just nodding when louis uses the ‘he french’ defense. bobbing his head in absolute agreement. they would make each other so much worse i actually have been losing my mind over it
crucially of course is the fact that louis is not saying this out of stupidity because he is deeply intelligent. and so is stack. but louis is at all times in incredibly deep denial. just absolutely buried in Cope. and stack operates at all times from the exact same place so i really think they would deeply get each other. however they could not stand to be in the same room for more than 2 hours before it devolves into business talk which devolves into violent arguing and cussing and swearing to never see each other again which they hold to for about 60 years out of stubbornness. mary and lestat of course are reenacting tom and jerry or wile e coyote and the road runner. just absolute cartoonish hatred on both sides
call my meat a dead horse the way i hmm save as draft
i want a penis but also i would get a boner from a stiff breeze. i would get hard from biting a particularly crisp apple
Gonna start posting about friends like it’s supernatural
