Nerdy Stuff

The more simplistic way to say this: what doesn't kill you, makes you stranger.

Angry Maze is my spirit animal.

Here’s the thing about JUPITER ASCENDING, literally the greatest movie ever made. Is it “good,” or is it, more probably, garbage? I really don’t have the capacity to say. I’m not Saint Roger Ebert, olav hasholem, over here. I took one film class and it was about whether real stuff is, like, real, or is there even such a thing as, like, really real, man, you know?? (There isn’t. I got an A.) I’m not here to tell you if it is good. I am only a woman with eyes and ears and joy centers in my brain. Here is what I will tell you. Look at my icon. As daeontherun so rightly pointed out, my icon was both of our faces for the ENTIRE DURATION of this movie.

Do you need to know any more than that? Do you need to know any more than that you will be flooded with pure, innocent delight for two hours? Here is my feeling about this movie: it is your garbage. It is garbage for you. “Is this how straight dudes feel at the movies all the time????” I hissed at daeontherun SEVERAL times during this movie. “Like someone carefully noted down your early pubescent fantasies and then threw 100 MILLION DOLLARS at them?” 

I would describe this feeling as, like, a combination of arousal, joy, and fond knowing chagrin. “Oh you,” you find yourself thinking at Jupiter Ascending as shirtless Channing Tatum gruffly but torturedly checks his weaponry, while Sean Bean voiceover rumbles in his beautiful Northern growl about how tortured and loyal shirtless Channing Tatum is and how he needs his PACK. Ten seconds before this, Channing Tatum and Sean Bean were sexily punching each other while yelling about their emotions. “You know what I like, you crazy beautiful bastard,” you say to Jupiter Ascending, shaking your head fondly.  Mila Kunis wakes up in a beautiful dress, blinking slowly with her long gorgeous lashes. “Feel my skin,” naked Tuppence Middleton purrs at her [REDACTED 4 SPOILERS]’s clone, Mila Kunis, gently caressing her bare arm. Gugu Mbatha-Raw stands over Channing Tatum and sexily taunts him. There is a 20 minute Henson-evoking sequence about [REDACTED 4 SPOILERS BUT TRUST ME THAT IT’S AMAZING]. Eddie Redmayne flutters an elegant hand around while hoarsely gasping out sociopathic, vaguely incestuous promises in a fucking SEQUIN TITS OUT DRESSING GOWN with ARM WINGS in his EVIL SPACE CATHEDRAL THRONE ROOM!!!! “DO U LIKE DIS?” Jupiter Ascending asks, glancing shyly at you. “I MAKED IT.” “Of course I like it,” you say, overcome by joy and wonder, kissing Jupiter Ascending on the forehead. “I’ve never liked anything this much, and I love you more than anyone in the whole world.” I don’t want to be controversial, but if I had to choose between Jupiter Ascending and Citizen Kane I would immediately travel back in time, murder Orson Welles, and walk away whistling. I would cheerfully burn the entire Criterion Collection to the ground for this movie. Go see Jupiter Ascending. You’re welcome.

To be fair,most of the criterion collection is basically "how much weirder can we make a movie and still call it art"

Just my opinion. There it is.

Needed to hear it. And I don't mind being called "dear one"

Did they really kick Hawkgirl off and then source a Ciara song?

Story driven: how about Metro Last Light

I love that the idiot is like half-way running and then he sees Claire's murder face, Claire's I'm gon getchu sucka face, and puts it into high gear and she STILL catches him.

SUBTLE GUYS REAL SUBTLE

Lmao I can’t stand y'all

So I grew up in Tennessee and they actively taught us that slavery wasn’t the cause of the civil war. The teacher literally said that if we answered ‘slavery’ on a test to the question ‘what led to the civil war’ we wouldn’t receive credit.

She also refused to include Black History Month in the curriculum.

Now I live in Arizona and the Republican state legislature and voters actively passed a law banning teaching anything (history or literature) anything that might ‘create racial tension’ (i.e. Anything that made whites people look bad - the law was passed in an effort to destroy a Mexican American studies program because the only wanted white history taught. They literally fired teachers and locked up books).

Basically on Republican states they push teaching that racism never happened. There are also push by certain groups to include anti-Muslim propaganda in text books.

They absolutely do this in Texas for sure.

“States rights”

Texas provides, writes and publishes the textbooks for majority of American public schools so if they erasing it there it’s most likely being erase in the rest of America.

Very grateful the history/government teachers I had were jaded, sarcastic educators who taught whatever they wanted to. This is where it is so important for teachers to have some level of control over their classrooms and not be micromanaged by state school boards (most of whom have never actually taught classes in public school or college situations). I know they’ve limited this more and more for public school teachers, but cheers to anyone who has held on and covered necessary material whether it was in the state-approved curriculum or not.

Um...Virginia resident here. And where was the capital of the Confederacy? Richmond. Where the Civil War is still called the war of northern aggression.

That being said: I was taught "both" sides. *shrug*.

they played “i’ll stop the world and melt with you” in stranger things and my mom was like “i love that song” and i was like “me too!” and she was like “how TF do you know that song?!” and i didn’t have the heart to tell her it was from the cinematic masterpiece of our time, Sky High (2005).

I’m listening to it now so thanks it’ll be in my head the rest of the night

Just want you to know: I played myself. I sang it over and over and had forgotten all about it until...I read this post. Jeez.

Freedom Writers (2007)

This movie was so important

This is one of the only “white savior” movies that matter because they didnt silence the stories of the kids of color. They kept it real and in doing so kept it realatable.

this movie is superb

Sometimes I forget how young Tumblr, and generally speaking, it's users are.

Please see Michelle Pfeifer in "Dangerous Minds."

Sunday night cuddle buddy! It looks as though Greyson has forgiven me…. I trimmed his nails earlier & he is not a fan of that! 😸 But I spoiled him by giving him some treats afterwards! #GreysonTheCat #SNELovesPets

This is actually interesting as I trimmed Charlie girl's claws and she has still not forgiven me

Show everything: people getting beaten up on both sides. People who do this are criminals and terrible examples of human beings. Ultimately, isn't that what we all are? Human?

I'm sorry this is happening to anyone.

Just.Stop.
