I muted all OFMD words for almost a year as well because I was sick of everybody banging on about how good it was ๐ I get there eventually. Just physically cannot invest in anything when I'm being told to.
Me finally unmuting all the Buck and Eddie keywords now I'm actually watching the stupid show ๐ Stupid cute firefighters ๐ ๐
They are perfect ๐ญ๐ฅฐ
๐ซจ I want to see this overlay on all of Basil Rathbone's fights!
TL synchronicity
๐ซฅ
I miscounted XD Last day is tomorrow and the draw is on Wednesday!

I started over from the beginning (someone told me to start later but now I'm invested and wanna see it all) and just got to the bit where ๐ถ there goes my heart ๐ถ starts playing as they're speeding off with a transplant organ ๐
Easier to accept in action. But growing up obsessed with swashbucklers acted by ppl who had legit fight skills filmed by ppl who knew how to light a scene & leave it room to breathe vs modern quick cuts & impossible acrobatics only achievable by computer? No contest. Just do less of it! Please!!
I know I'm a tedious cinema luddite ๐ And cgi totally has its place (I love love love shitty disaster films and nothing delights me more than the stupidity of California tilting up and sliding into the sea in 2012). But it is very very rarely the superior choice for horror, please and thank you.
Just rewatched one of my great faves The Fly. NONE of that would land the same if it was animated digitally. I've got nothing against cgi per se, but overusing it for horror effects in particular dilutes everything to pointlessness. And animated explosions are never as cool as blowing up a real bus.
Going on a rewatching old horror & action films marathon makes me hate cgi more & more ๐ค I'd rather see the goofiest rubbery prosthetics or monster models every time. The stakes just vanish when I know it's not real. And ofc practical effects aren't "real" either, but disbelief suspension is easier.
*ahem*
*cough cough*

If not a squirrel house, why perfectly squirrel sized?! ๐๐ฅฐ
This is the very least of his crimes but still pisses me off years later: my dad saw a knitting pattern for a Bender toilet roll cover and thought it was hilarious so I made it for him, then he left it in his brother's van for some unknown reason and never bothered asking for it back. ???? ๐ ๐ก
If you want to say happy birthday to my kiddo (after she wasnโt let into the Rhys show on her birthday๐ญ) she would like you to toss some money at the trans youth emergency fund!!

I want a full documentary series just about your animal adventures ๐ฅฐ
When I have leftover pesto I mix it with cream cheese, it's so good on bagels ๐
I started watching 911, why did nobody tell me how goofy this was?? Eaten by a whale??? People suddenly in space???? Gigantic runaway pumpkin????? For some reason I had it in my head as this super serious procedural thing ๐
Yesss I miss that whole look so much ๐ญ Been watching a lot of oldies recently and the jump back to modern digital slop is so jarring.
That's so unfair โน๏ธ๐
Mum
Where do I get it from ๐ค
(But maybe avoid if nail trauma bothers you ๐ฑ)
Seriously, The Mummy is old school silly gory nasty fun with minimal cgi & it doesn't deserve the sneery critics' whingeing. I get the inappropriate giggles response when films stress me out & I haven't been so helpless about a horror in years. Watch it tipsy with mates for a genuinely great time.
๐ฐ Got cajoled to the cinema again tonight
๐ Panic mostly averted when my parents and I realised we were the only people there
๐
Film was so gushy and squishy and gross we were all howling, I nearly killed Pumpy, my mum retched once, and John kept threatening to leave
An excellent family outing.
Yeah! Not for maybe twenty years though, I need a rewatch ๐
But I mean congratulations on doing a second sock, I'm the worst for getting bored or distracted after one ๐
Noooo ๐ฉ
iamethanhawke OP โข 12y I'm kind of obsessed with Nic Cage. I just found out about r/onetruegod too. He's the only actor since Marlon Brando that's actually done anything new with the art of acting; he's successfully taken us away from an obsession with naturalism into a kind of presentation style of acting that l imagine was popular with the old troubadours. If I could erase his bottom half bad movies, and only keep his top half movies, he would blow everyone else out of the water. He's put a little too much water in his beer, but he is still one of the great actors of our time. And working with him was an absolute pleasure. In fact, one of my favorite scenes l've ever done is the last scene in LORD OF WAR.
Schrader also wrote Martin Scorsese's Bringing Out the Dead. You've been outspoken about your admiration for Nicolas Cage, which I appreciate. I think Nicolas Cage is one of the few people in the history of acting that has really changed [the form]. I mean, he's a true original-one of the greatest actors ever. His confidence and madness and dedicationโ you take his top 10 performances and I'd put 'em up against anybody. And they're revelatory! You know, [Konstantin] Stanislavski came up with this idea of naturalism and pursuing life as it is, moving away from a more performance-oriented Shakespearean style of singing roles. Brando and Lee Strasberg and the Group Theatre and all these people push it forward. Gene Hackman and De Niro and Meryl Streep-we've all been dutifully falling in line. Except for Nic Cage. He's doing something else!
Heart eyes for Ethan Hawke started when I was seven and only get sparklier as time goes on ๐๐ฅฐ
