I find it absolutely hilarious that after playing the popularised sexy man “James Bond” for what feels like a millennium, Daniel Craig has only now reached tumblr sexy man status by playing a funky southern gay detective with a hubby that bakes sour bread. If this is not the most on brand tumblr thing I don’t know what is

I love X/Pearl.. Ti West really made Mia Goth shoot by the same pond same barn in a different pair of overalls and said this is cinema

The blue eyeshadow lets you know that it's Cocaine Whore Times and not Wizard of Oz Spanish Flu Times

“Lord must have been generous to you. He never answers any of my prayers. I don’t know why. What did I do? What is wrong with me? Please just tell me so I can get better. I don’t wanna end up like Mama I wanna be dancing up on the screen like the pretty girls in the pictures. I want what they have so badly… to be perfect… to be loved by as many people as possible to make up for all my time spent suffering”.

seeing all the 14-17 y/o queer kids who don’t know what v for vendetta is…. u mean the blockbuster film written by two trans women about a masked vigilante who decides to singlehandedly take down a fascist alternate version of england set in the distant year of 2020… and his driving force was getting justice for a lesbian who he never met but whose diary he found, who was separated from her wife before being killed by said fascist gov…. and it stars natalie portman…. okay

the movie is great, with amazing acting:

and the original graphic novel is phenomenal:

I highly recommend them both

and they’ve never been more relevant

There’s strong subtext that V is a trans man and A)the lesbian from the diary or B)her wife.

frankly I prefer the movie over the comic, for three reasons:

1) lewis prothero as a rush limbaugh/glenn beck/bill o’reilly type is both more applicable and way funnier than a 1940s radio propagandist 

2) it has stephen fry as gordon detriech, and makes him explicitly gay and pretending to be attracted to evey as part of being closeted than actually attracted to evey and having sex with her while she hides in his home.

3) the movie came out in 2005; that is, only four years after 9/11, while the Iraq war was still in full swing, and while xenophobia and Islamophobia were not just acceptable, but tacitly encouraged by the administration at the time. which makes the following exchange even more poignant and sweet:

Evey: [seeing a book in a glass display case] What is that? Gordon: It’s a copy of the Qur’an, 14th century. Evey: [shocked] Are you a Muslim? Gordon: No, I’m in television. Evey: But why would you keep it? Gordon: I don’t have to be a Muslim to find the images beautiful or its poetry moving.

just… the easy acceptance of it. the idea that a religion that he doesn’t believe in and that has been explicitly outlawed in-universe is a source of beauty. I’m not Muslim, either, but that particular moment really stuck with me emotionally.

also Hugo Weaving is actually in the suit a lot of the time (James Purefoy is dubbed over, because he did six weeks of filming and there are 2 stunt guys–one for fighting and one for fire), which I always thought was very cool. The “V Speech” is exquisite. ALSO THEY ASKED NATALIE’S PERMISSION BEFORE THEY SHAVED HER HEAD, none of that “genuine reaction” bullshit.

i’m still mad none of them won an oscar, i don’t even LIKE stephen fry and he was absolutely genius
