I think I found my new favorite rabbit hole. This voice actor does Shakespeare scenes in a southern accent and I need to see the whole damn play. Absolutely beautiful

if you're not from the us american south, there's some amazing nuances to this you may have missed. i can't really describe all of them, because i've lived here my whole life and a lot of the body language is sort of a native tongue thing. the body language is its own language, and i am not so great at teaching language. i do know i instinctively sucked on my lower teeth at the same time as he did, and when he scratched the side of his face, i was ready to take up fucking arms with him.

but y'all. the way he said "brutus is an honourable man" - each and every time it changed just a little. it was the full condemnation Shakespeare wanted it to be. it started off slightly mock sincere. barely trying to cover the sarcasm. by the end...it wasn't a threat, it was a promise.

christ, he's good.

the eliding of “you all” to “y’all” while still maintaining 2 syllables is a deliberate and brilliant act of violence. “bear with me” said exactly like i’ve heard it at every funeral. the choices of breaking and re-establishing of eye contact. the balance of rehearsed and improvised tone. A+++ get this man a hollywood contract.

Get this man a starring role as Marc Antony in a southern adaptation of this show PLEASE.

I hate you endless remakes and reboots I despise you endless sequels upon sequels I wretch in disgust at you series that have forgotten how to die!!!

franchises my BELOATHED, capitalism killing creativity and making 90% of everything a continuation of something memorable from a few decades ago so they can bank on the name of something recognisable for the sake of guaranteed profit rubs me in completely the wrong way and i hate it hate it hate it!

I’m forever thinking of that one post that was like “George Lucas took the flash gordon serials and kurosawa movies he grew up watching and made Star Wars, and we took the star wars movies we saw growing up and just made more Star Wars.”

anyway shoutouts to people who make new stories that stand on their own and know when to finish, shoutouts to indie creators that make things so unprofitable that a hollywood executive’s bank account would explode and he would die of a heart attack if he even laid eyes upon it for even a second, shoutouts to the unending expanse of the human imagination that stretches so far beyond the tiny slither of creation that was profitable in 90s america,

i’m aware that there are new and interesting movies and shows and stories coming out that *aren’t* based on existing IP’s but god if all the stuff based on things from years ago isn’t incredibly prevalent and everywhere all of the time.

shoutouts to the goonies 5, and jaws sixteen, and back to the future 2 part 1 act 6 intermission 2, and the twentieth remake of robocop, and a new remake of courage the cowardly dog made in flash, and lego star wars: wookie cookie cookin’ jabba’s farts unleashed, and the Avatar Cinematic Universe, coming to a cinema near you because capitalism has killed your favourite art and is parading around its corpse in a pale imitation of necromancy, hoping you’ll throw money at it.

Enough depressurized blobfish. I'm here to spread living blobfish propaganda.

Look at them. Gorgeous. Wonderful. Living comfortably at depths to over 1,200 meters in the ocean. Be nice to them.

The fact that the dead version is in kid's books and cartoons is the saddest part; they're endearing children to basically a different, fictionalized animal and telling them that's how it really looks. It was declared "world's ugliest animal" based on a busted up corpse :(

the group chat when i ask whos available to hang out next week

Neo and Trinity in THE MATRIX SAGA (1999-2021) Dir. The Wachowskis

*through gritted teeth* every day i choose to be kind *barely restraining myself from violence* i choose to have compassion *tamping down the vicious bloodlust inside me* i choose to care and to be kind and to love

anyone else remember being a child and seeing the very neat handwriting of other little girls and somehow knowing that you were a different genre of person than they were

literally no…i remember seeing bad handwriting & thinking “oh these other kids must be orphans or something”

fascinating to hear from the other genre, thanks for your contribution

when marilyn monroe said “i’ve never fooled anyone. i’ve let people fool themselves. they didn’t bother to find out who and what i was. instead they would invent a character for me. i wouldn’t argue with them. they were obviously loving somebody i wasn’t.”

you know what dad? maybe i don't wanna be the saviour of the broken, the beaten and the damned. it's a lot of pressure to put on me and honestly i've been feeling stressed recently because of it
