Another thing about Monkey Man that's not really important to the story itself but is simply a testament to Dev Patel as a director is the fact that the entire movie was shot on a budget of $10mil, which sounds like a lot but is a pittance in hollywood for the sort of film he was trying to make.
It's frankly a wonder the film got made considering the fact that netflix dropped it in fear of repercussions from Modi's government but ten years ago John Wick came out as a film with half the artistic ambition and allegedly three times the budget. Monkey Man was so strapped for cash that they had to shoot some scenes of GoPros and iPhones but you wouldn't be able to tell just looking at it.
He knows 😂 screenshot from Walton Goggins Instagram story 😂
the best part is how this has turned into an interview bit because he knew what he was doing but also doesn’t know what to do with it✨
rise and fall
not to give a man credit but shout out to killatrav for pursuing his celeb crush who turned out to be an unhinged mess at the time and sticking around anyway to be her hype man
let’s boogie
I'm so glad that y'all are so into Monkey Man and the badass hijra priestess army, but friendly reminder that hijra are NOT trans women. Hijra are their own distinct gender; trans women are women. India has both :)
This is really...weird to post if you yourself are not a trans woman or hijra, op. Many (I would even say most) hijra are women. So many of us use the term hijra women instead of just hijra to emphasise this point. A lot of the hijra identity (and other trans identities in India like Jogta/Jogtini, Aravani etc.) is tied to the arts and religion in a way that the modern term "trans" does not fully encompass or represent, but that doesn't mean that these non-secular (i can't find a better word rn) trans people are not. Well. Trans. Hijra, Aravani and other transfeminine people and women have been active in LGBT and esp. trans activism at the grassroots within India for the longest time. I'm Indian and trans myself and I'm really so tired of this constant third-gendering (and thus misgendering) of trans Indians. (Not to say that many trans people don't view themselves within the third gender framework, but that that term has done more harm than good in the practical sense.)
Here's an excellent thread by an Indian trans women tearing apart the seminal anthropological text that has cemented the idea of Hijra "third gender"ness for its racism, orientalism, and transmisogyny.

Hijras are primarily considered "third gender" (which is similar to many other culturally embedded trans women in the global south being seen as a third gender) because western anthropologists and later Indian anthropologists uncritically accepted the degendering and marginalization trans women experience as ontological evidence of a third gender which was later taken up by state policies.
This has been done by ignoring hijras for decades who have self identified as women and using transmisogynistic talking points such as a lack of their wombs making it impossible for them to be women, their forced prostitution and begging because of their exclusion from the formal economy as "cultural practices", and their experiences detailing how despite their wishes and efforts society refuses to see them as women as evidence that they are not women. The vast majority of hijras are women; they exist as women, they take HRT, they get their legal names changed, etc. Calling them a third gender is structural transmisogyny.

this might be my favourite reaction to ttpd
People are bemused that other people are finding the Ghoul from Fallout 2024 sexy. 'But why??? He looks like a corpse! He has no nose!!!!!'
My friends. My friends. Clearly you have not encountered the fandom for The Phantom of the Opera.
At this hearing, I stand before my fellow members of The Tortured Poets Department with a summary of my findings.
