Unbelievable Places On Earth That Look Like They’re From Another Planet

‘you should’ve told him to back off.’

the filming of an iconic scene

I simply cannot get over how straight Evans is when he runs, and how little he leans forward.  

That’s why he had to do almost all of his own running. They were like, “Chris, you’ll be running today. Tomorrow, we’ll film your double doing flips but today you get to run and run and if you don’t like it, learn to run like other people.”

I understand they also had a tough time finding a stunt man who could double for him because he doesn’t move like most actors.  It’s probably better now that they’ve sent him for martial arts training, but evidently the first Cap movie was rough until they started choreographing the fight scenes to a musical beat.

I didn’t know they did that. That is the best thing I’ve heard today.

I know a lot of blogs dedicated to bones or pelts or fossils or even feathers but shells always seem to be overlooked. So few shell posts show up on my dash.

Q: I really appreciate the fact that you have non-American actors speaking their native languages, instead of making it seem like everyone in the world speaks English like it usually is in most Hollywood movies. Why is Hollywood so allergic to subtitles? — Interview in Today Online with Guillermo del Toro, 11/07/2013

BAAAHHHH WHY IS HE SO GREAT

Tia Baheri: “Your Ability to Can Even: A Defense of Internet Linguistics“ | The Toast

Totally worth reading the whole article, especially the part on Tumblr and gender.

(via i-come-by-it-honestly)

Internet linguistics is super fascinating to me. 

(via mumblingsage)

This whole article is absolutely fascinating. As someone who is older than the average tumblr user, and someone who can be a bit of a grammar freak, it took me a long time to get used to the Tumblrisms, but now I find them incredibly useful.

“it took me a long time to get used to the Tumblrisms, but now I find them incredibly useful.” Same. All the internet speak that people my age usually malign, I find flexible and expressive and important. 

Some people especially don’t like the term “feels” but I find it really helpful. “Feels” are not “emotions”. Emotions are specific, partitioned states. Feels are the simultaneous experience of all emotions (including emotions that would usually be framed as neutralizing one another if occurring simultaneously—happy/sad—but which often amplify each other instead) that are presently occurring as an immediate or on-going reaction to an inciting incident (image, movie, etc.). “All my feels” is a way to express both the totality and the immensity of those emotions being experienced.

Following that, “right in the feels” is how to express that a secondary inciting incident has occurred which, like one molecule in motion intersecting with another molecule in motion, has effected an impact and a temporary or permanent change in state/velocity/trajectory of the total-state of emotions affecting the speaker and, if the impact is strong enough, may permanently alter the composition of the feels in question.

How damn cool is it to be able to sum up both the initial concept and the experience—with a gif (a tiny movie that, like a hologram, contains the whole of the original as well as the subcultural context around that movie and that scene and that character), no less?

In my last year of university, I took a postmodern theory class that hinged on the relationship of text and image as a fundamental binary along the lines of male and female, logic and emotion, etc., in which text was valorised over image. One of the things I love about tumblr is the way images and gifs invade the communicative territory of text, and the perscriptivist notion of grammar is completely abandoned.

I guess if Eon won’t cast him, he’s just gonna go out there and be James Bond on his own.
