WONDER BAR (1934) | dir. Lloyd Bacon

“The other [scene that stands out above the rest] involved a handsome man, asking a dancing couple if he could cut in. The female partner, expecting his attention, agrees, only to see him dance with her male partner. Jolson then flaps his wrist and says, “Boys will be boys. Woo!”. This scene almost caused the Production Code to reject the film, and was featured in the opening scenes of the documentary film The Celluloid Closet (1996).”

Here is the actual clip, and let me tell you, Jolson’s delivery does not disappoint:

The remake reboot prequel sequel industrial complex is killing me but the good thing is I don't have to watch any of that. I can just think "that sounds boring or otherwise doesn't interest me in any way" and do something other than watch it

"They're making a willy wonka origin story with timothee chalamet," you might say to me. "They're doing a live action the last airbender again, didn't you love avatar?" I don't find it necessary. This is nothing to me

Y’ALL. We have one of those cling film covers in our bathroom window for privacy and in the afternoon when the sun hits it just right, it makes rainbows, right? And today my wife sends me the best pic she’s ever taken:

I hate hate hate hate how dog friendly everything is in the city now. Barring medical necessity, there is no reason to bring your dog to a restaurant, there is no reason to bring your dog to the grocery store, there is no reason to bring your dog to the nail salon. Dogs do not need to go everywhere you go why am I being forced to be around dogs all the time

There are are a fuckton of people with dog allergies (both mild and severe] who would love to exist out in public without having to worry about the constant presence of dogs in a place that does not require or need for them to be there.

There are plenty of outdoor places and actual pet friendly establishments you could take your dog to, but OP is specifically referring to basically every establishment that is not or doesn't specify that they are a "pet friendly" establishment that doesn't bother kicking people's dogs out when the dog owners break those rules and come in anyways.

On top of that, most dog owners (AND I SAID MOST. NOT ALL LMAO) are idiots that anthropomorphize their dogs, or don't train or tend to their dogs needs and so we get really anxious and aggressive dogs and people/dog unfriendly dogs that end up freaking their shit in public.

It's a health and safety hazard for everyone else involved. As well as a general common courtesy thing. It's like bringing your crying baby to a movie theater or screaming toddler to a fine dining restaurant.

This obviously excludes service dogs because they are properly trained and have an important job to do.

This isn't some kind of fandom discourse that has otherwise no basis in our current reality that people are just "getting mad about". This is shit that can and does affect the well-being of real people. You just sound like an inconsiderate dickhead. :/

Also I'm an insurance underwriter and dog bites are one of the most common types of claims in personal lines, I'm not running out of things to get mad about this is literally my field of expertise

y'all are making my blood pressure spike during my fun time so I am gonna do this one time and one time only. some notes.

  1. a "safe space" is a space that is set aside for a community to be amongst like-minded peers with shared experiences and have discussions about the things that affect them away from another group who might harm them. it is not and cannot be a public forum that invites public discussion. that's not what a safe space is.
  2. being a dick on anon only makes you a dick. that's it. there's no other explanation or reasoning. that is across. the. board.
  3. the size of a person's following does not make them more or less of a person than you and it absolutely does not ever make you morally correct for being a complete asshole to them.
  4. you don't know who 95% of people are behind the screen. you don't know their work, their experience, their emotional space, their relationships, whatever. you are seeing the tiniest slice of their life. you don't get to make broad assumptions based on that small slice.
  5. if someone would like to charge money for absolutely anything they want to charge money for, so long as it is not illegal or objectively shitty, it's not your business unless you would like to partake in the thing. that is really all there is to it.
  6. I like to think the content of my character and my actions speak for me, but you can make up whatever narrative you like. I guess. I am really only here to have a good time and be as silly as I feel like. this is my fun time. I plan to keep it that way. I am not here for the whatever vs whatever fan wars and mostly I like to pretend they don't exist. I am not interested.

that's all. there's nothing more to it than that.

7. saying you're holding someone accountable doesn't excuse bullying. it doesn't excuse witch hunts.

Anonymous asked:

Can you please elaborate on the Stephen Colbert RPF thing. This is a judgment free zone I’m just deathly curious

Ah yes well you see Stephen Colbert used to play a parody of a Fox News pundit on a show called The Colbert Report (American news satire program popular in the late 00s/early 10s). The character was explicitly a closeted gay man who was driven to conservatism due to his own insecurity/internalized homophobia. He had a homoerotic relationship with Jon Stewart whom he pretended to hate but had several romantic moments with.

When their shows ended they wrote a soft epilogue for their fictionalized selves where they retire to a cabin in the woods together and it’s implied they’re married now. The most beautiful self-written rpf of all time.

It was a beautiful slow burn self-written rpf that unfolded over, like, 10 years they worked together? It started as a joke but ended up being a genuine canon part of the fictionalized Stephen Colbert? I’m not joking.

We’ve literally lost such a fundamental part of our culture the day someone comes into my ask to be like “what would Stephen Colbert rpf even conceivably be about?”

Love being fun and silly with strangers… Today at the farmers market the hummus guy saw my bag and was like “We’re filling that up right??” and I was like Twist my arm!! and we both hooted. Then at the end he was like “By the way the baklava is only half sliced so make sure to slice before serving… that is, if you’re going to share!!” and I was like “Oh I wouldn’t count on that!! 😉😉” and we shared another hearty laugh. I love playing in this space with you

Please do things to strengthen your attention span. It stresses me out so much when people just accept their small attention spans and cater to them without any acknowledgment that they are making it worse by doing that.

There is a reason attention spans are worse now and it didn’t just happen by chance. Media and the internet designed it that way and we went with it because it was easier.

Some of us with ADHD and brain fog need to meet ourselves where we’re at and exercise our attention span by watching a two minute video instead of a one minute video. Some of us need to sit down and read a novel with our phones turned off.

Wherever you’re at, just realize that not doing things that feel hard will keep making your attention span worse.

this is a poll for a movie that doesn't exist.

It is vintage times. The powers that be have decided to again remake the classic vampire novella Dracula for the screen. in an amazing show of inter-studio solidarity, Hollywood’s most elite hotties are up for the starring roles. the producers know whoever they cast will greatly impact the genre, quality, and tone of the finished film, so they are turning to their wisest voices for guidance.

you are the new casting director for this star-studded epic. choose your players wisely.
