Why waste our words When lips were made for extraordinary things

Rush Hour 2 (2001) dir. Brett Ratner

If I may once again dip my toe into the discourse surrounding Greek Mythology, a lot of people like to rewrite or reframe the story of Medusa, and that’s great! Highly encourage it. But, DON’T YOU DARE GO AND DEMONIZE MY BOY PERSEUS!

Perseus isn’t some vile misogynist who hunts down and murders Medusa for the hell of it. He’s a scared kid who’s trying to save his mom from a forced marriage (whom herself has been a victim of terrible abuse from her father) to a creepy evil king and gets duped by the Gods into cleaning up their mess for them. He’s not the villain, he’s just another pawn. So if I see one more motherfucker trying to make him out to be the “real monster” I will throw hands.

You know what would be way more interesting?! Medusa sees Perseus rolling up to her crib and freaks out cause ‘holy shit this is a fucking kid. a fucking toddler with a sword and shield.’ and they hash it out and then TEAM UP to kill the evil kind trying to force marry Perseus’ mother! Think of the dynamics that you could write! The interactions that could occur. I mean, one of ‘em is gonna have to wear a blindfold but hey, minor problems.

What I’m saying is, gimme a buddy cop movie where Perseus and Medusa team up to fight evil in Ancient Greece.

I’m just picturing Perseus as this fairly well built sixteen year old kid, who looks a little underfed, and he’s like ‘ma’am I’m so sorry, I have to bring your head back to save my mom’ and medusa is like ‘okay, start over. We can work with this’ and compare trauma over some watered wine.

Danae and Medusa can get married and Perseus can have TWO Badass Moms

Okay but consider: Perseus regretfully tells Medusa he has to bring back her head to save his mother from a forced marriage and Medusa cocks her head and says “did the bastard say the rest of me couldn’t be attached?” and long story short Perseus rocks up with a Lady-Gaga-esque entourage of men carrying this gigantic silver platter with a giant metal cloche on top of it and announces it to his mother’s tormentor as the head of Medusa, and dude lifts it up and Perseus finishes, “and also the rest of her” and fucker turns to stone.

Reminds me of this lol

Nine Inch Nails — SIN (1990) dir. Brett Turnbull

neurodivergent and queer people how are we feeling?

we are fully crying

i am once again asking you to watch the 2019 shakespeare in the park production of much ado about nothing

#signor bene D I C K

Your monthly reminder that you can watch this version for free right here (the original link is now behind a paywall, this will link to an internet archive page)

This was the best scene in the whole series

Scenes like this are great, because they go into religious horror without making the entire faith evil. Having a demon plainly state that the bishop is an arsehole and deserves hell is always a good plot, especially when the demon IS correct.

a demon telling you god is not real or god doesent care about humanity is easy to shrug off as demons lieing

but a demon telling you god is real, god is good and god hates your guts quite literally puts the fear of god in you, especially when your about to find out if hes right in about 20 seconds

(From Netflix’s Castlevania, which is excellent.)

I love this show and this scene but also it just makes me think of this

Alex + smiling into kisses

You telling me that Jack Black would not be 1000% down to be kidnapped by the muppets for a shenanigan, or possible a hijink?

Mr. The Frog still sends me more than “we all agreed a celebrity is not a people”

80s vampires are kind of the best sorry i don’t make the rules

I am a GUEST and I do not DESERVE to use the good normal cups, I may only use the worst cup you have

Counterpoint, I am a guest and I DESIRE to use the WORST possible cup I can find that you have hidden away

Babygirl I will find cups you didnt even know EXISTED in that miserable little cupboard of yours

Florence and the Machine at last night’s Spotify event in Brooklyn. As Florence began to sing Sky Full of Song a literal storm began to hit, she never faltered and embraced the storm.

Watching this was an ethereal experience

this queen literally summoned a storm during her performance when will your fave ever control the weather with such accuracy

Wow

I need a cooking show with these three as the judges. Please.

winning contestant: makes a molé enchilada that is somehow also a functioning bicycle and inexplicably utilizes saltine crackers and marshmallows as ingredients but it works

If you can somehow impress all of them, Gordon Ramsay appears as the final boss

This is WILD.

Studios loooove to film in cities like New Orleans where the studios receive massive tax breaks to film there. Do y'all think any of the actors see that? Nope.

i think about this one so fucking often i had to clip it

that was like watching someone very skillfully assembling a stained-glass window just to watch someone else dropkick it
