Ok, people who adapt classic literature (or any literature) to cinema PLEASE repeat after me:
I will not omit half of the book on behalf of the love story I think will give me more public
Because Emily Brontë did not write Wuthering Heights to be disrespected by you eliminating literally 200/400 pages of the book because you think that half was unimportant. I'm not exaggerating
And Charlotte Brontë also did not write a beautiful story focusing on the spiritual growth of the protagonist who also happens to be a woman so you could erase the whole Moor House part (another 200 pages) which is so important for the story of Jane Eyre
And so mamy other examples. Just stop deciding that a part of a story is unimportant just because it's not romantic because you're just making yourselves look like buffoons
Something deeply painful is the fact that seasons, especially fall, dont feel the same. Not because of individual maturity but because climate change has impacted the weather patterns so so so much that we cant even experience the same annual shifts that our ancestors have for centuries
I feel displaced, i yearn for the spring, summer, fall, and winter that i can barely remember experiencing
I saw the handprint through my streaming tears (i was sobbing my eyes out like a baby) and i cried so much harder. That handprint was the turning point for so much in the show. It was a turning point for Sam and Dean's relationship. It was a turning point for the forces and lore of the world. It was a turning point with Castiel showing up. It was the beginning of their relationship.... And it being there when Cas was sacrificing himself? Even if it wasn't burned into Deans skin? It hurt worse than if my heart was ripped out of my body and burned in front of me.
Ok, I’ll admit it: the hand print got me.
Have seen a lot of people say they've never heard of Malevolent in the last couple of days, so here's my pitch. Malevolent is a show in which a small British man gouges someone's eyes out with his bare fucking hands while the Eldritch entity that lives in his head pleads with him to get control of himself.

i think what’s on a person’s nightstand is very telling so reblog this and put in the tags the things you have on your nightstand
what does horror mean to you guys? Like, is it an artistic expression, maybe a type of comfort, etc etc. Love your podcasts!!! 🫶
I guess I see it much like any genre - as a kind of licence, based on audience expectation and audience trust, to take them to certain places.
For me the only difference with horror, and what really excites me about it, is that it's a particularly flexible licence, with fewer hard requirements, and the driver is given more scope to go to stranger, bleaker, and darker destinations in pursuit of something interesting.
So we can debate whether elevated horror or torture porn or soft Halloween spookadoodles or whatever counts as 'real' horror (or indeed whether The Silt Verses should be called contemporary dark fantasy instead), or like Stephen King in On Writing, we can try and impose some kind of hierarchy of the audience's emotional responses, but horror resists these attempts to clearly classify it: humanity's collective understanding of the genre remains broad and mutable enough to include existential terror, cosy ghost stories, transgressive body horror, bleak and violent nihilism, and goofy Lovecraftian kitsch.
I love some of this stuff as great art and hate some of it as trash (and love some of it as trash as well), but the joy of horror lies in the fact that it's such a big, anarchic, permissive playground.
Horror is the sign on the door that simply promises, 'Bad things are going to happen.'
feeling very normal about atsushi wearing rashomon. very normal
Among other things, Howl’s Moving Castle provides AMAZING representation for the girlies who take too long in the bathroom. Like, what do you mean 30 minutes is a long shower? Mr. Howl Jenkins Pendragon spends a MINIMUM of 2 hours a day in the bathroom getting ready. You can’t rush beauty fr
Eddie’s not weak, nor is he a twig.
Exhibit 1: he was able to YANK both Dustin and Mike out of their seats as if they were fucking hand bags.
Exhibit 2: he’s able to climb up a rope with NO support which uses SO MUCH core strength like bro I could never—
Exhibit 3: he’s in a band, he’s gonna do some heavy lifting and shit
Exhibit 4: when he tried to provoke Jason in that cafeteria scene, Jason fully just backs down
Exhibit 5: MANZ LITERALLY THREW STEVE AGAINST THE WALL
So allow me to present: Steve Harrington who knows full well that Eddie is able to completely and utterly manhandle him and absolutely living and thriving for it.
Thank you for your attention.
please bring back 2014 indie pop (i could care less that a few of these songs were pre or post the 2014 era if the song fits it fits)
