so little / time to bear the heart so vast the desert

Burning (2018) — dir. Lee Chang-Dong
A rich and deeply thought film, mired in ambiguities, questions not quite answered in the half-light—but on another level it's very much about picking up your crush from the airport and she gets off the plane with Steven Yeun. Devastating. (spoilers under the cut, more movie thoughts on letterboxd)
“In the dawn of the language, the word ‘worm’ had a somewhat different meaning from that in use to-day. It was an adaptation of the Anglo-Saxon ‘wyrm,’ meaning a dragon or snake; or from the Gothic ‘waurms,’ a serpent;”
The Lair of the White Worm directed by Ken Russell based on the 1911 novel by Bram Stoker
it's rotten work. especially to me especially if it's you. I'll fucking do it but christ alive.
tumblr just went "based on your likes!" and showed me the most recent post i liked. which i guess technically i cannot fault
anyway if you wanna read a really good piece that goes in depth on why movies are the way they are today this piece by will tavlin describes the history of celluloid and digital film production and how studios and corporations have very deliberately brought us to this point.
some excerpts for the paywall
pdf of the article for you all
this piece is not without merit, besides the vague attribution of all these problems to ~cultural forces~ and the worthless suggestions of "making an encounter with great cinema an essential part of a liberal arts education" (??? does he think this doesn't happen?) and selling cheaper tickets for everything that isn't spiderman, but the whiplash of OP saying "this is so smart" to seeing the author is Ross fucking Douthat has completely pulverised me lmao
Lol my large and handsome pig didn’t find Anything of interest in your yard
I’ll never understand why anthropomorphic animal cartoons like Robin Hood and Zootopia will go to the trouble of creating character designs that are meant to be understood as “attractive” or even “sexy” to the human audience but explicitly avoid showing interspecies romances between anthropomorphic animals. Why is THAT weird but, like, trying to make rabbits recognizably sexy-coded to humans isn’t?
Sometimes, sure, but why was Maid Marian a fox in Robin Hood? There wasn’t anything particularly “foxlike” about her personality, and it would make more sense for her to be a lion. They made her a fox only because Robin was a fox and making her something else would be “weird”, but I don’t think the wolf cop or the chicken maid or the lion prince were actually meant to represent race.
The best inter species couple is Kermit and Miss Piggy as the Cratchits in A Muppet Christmas Carol, because all their sons are frogs and all their daughters are pigs, as God clearly intended.
there are only two genders: frog and pig
I’ve pointed out to my friends that the fact that Kermit and Miss Piggy’s kids are like that means either
1) they reproduce asexually and the children are clones of each parent OR
2) Kermit and Miss Piggy are members of the same sexually dimorphic species, hence the split between their male and female children
yes I have spent too long running about potential muppet biology
oh god
Third option, when they want kids they get some fabric and make one, and hope a Hand inhabits it
Do you think there’s a ritual for inviting An Inhabiting Hand to possess the empty husk of your muppet baby?
Just wanted to show u guys that in Muppets Most Wanted, Piggy fantasizes about her and Kermit having babies and this is what they look like
So do with that what you will
Recall that in The Great Muppet Caper, Kermit and Fozzie are brothers. And this was their dad (right):
Thank you for specifying, which one of the two individuals in the picture was the dad haha
I, for one, think Shrek handled interspecies coupling the best. By this I am of course talking about the Dronkeys.
In season 3 of BoJack Horseman, we learn Diane (middle) has been impregnated by Mr. Peanutbutter (left). The fetuses are confirmed to be puppies.
This is the worst addition to this post
I am reminded of Treasure Planet.
In which Captain Amelia (left), an extra terrestrial anthropomorphic cat, had hybrid babies with Doctor Doppler (middle), an extra terrestrial anthropomorphic dog, whom also gave birth to the babies
I always thought that in muppet movies like muppet Christmas Carol the characters are played by the muppets (so kermit is acting and playing the role of Bob rather than being him) so the kids in that film would just be other acting muppets right?
Or is that just something my brain made up?

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
anyone in this thread smoke weed
In Leo the Lion (2005) a lion and elephant have the most cursed hybrid children and I think yall should see them
(also Matt Mercer voices the villain, Maximus Elefante and I think that’s very important)
i hate all of these posts that are like "i lvoe you sugar i love you flowers i love you sunshine..." or just like lists like "the beach at night, the smell of woodsmoke, hot dumplings..." or the artificial emoting of "ok but when taylor swift said 'la la blah la' and when she said 'eeble greeble' and when she said...." none of which ever conclude in anything its like. you have become psychically deconstructed by the internet. your brains have become a thin gruel of affect. you have forgotten about sentence structure. i am a hater forever die die die. if you want to make me feel anything you are going to have to work for it.
