So, I had another one of my crazy-ass dreams...

So, I have to tell you about this dream I had the other night, because OMG.

Basically, I had another one of my "Raven had pizza way too close to bedtime again and OD'd on lactose" induced dreams, of which are always bizarre and vivid. The dream was really oddly "animated". Think like, a really awesome blend of Young Justice and the Speed Racer movie (which was fuckng amazing and people are dumb for not thinking so. The way it was filmed and the effects were fantastic and a great way to make a live action movie feel animated. I loved it.), so obviously it was absolutely fabulous.

So, as usual in these dreams, I was being chased by assassins. Today's assassins, were played by Bob Barker (from The Price is Right) and David Hasslehoff (from Baywatch). Bob was wearing his usual suit with a thin little microphone glued to his hand, and David was in his Baywatch garb with his little floatie device and everything. 

As we were running, they were attacking me, as one would expect. Bob Barker's weapon of choice was to toss uncastrated cats at me. They would cling to my shoulders and cough hairballs on me before getting bored and jumping off, making room for a new cat. I kept yelling that I always get my pets spayed and neutered, but no sympathy was won. 

[For you youngin’s, Bob Barker always ended the Price is Right with the encouragement to spay or neuter your cats because he was sad at how many cats get euthanized because of over-population and castrating them curbs that]

David Hasslehoff was tossing tubes of Blue Lizard sunscreen at me. Some of the bottles would burst open and blind me with the lotion, the rest would increase the concussion. Other times, actual blue lizards were flung. They would sit on my shoulders or on top of my head and smack me in the face with their tails until the tails fell off and the lizards turned green and ran away. Yeah, I don't know either...

I was saved by Batman. Batman was played by both Adam West and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Adam was in his usual suit and the Rock was wearing the BTAS era suit style. You know how in dreams, it can be like you are watching a movie? It was like that and every time that Batman was off screen for a half second, it would switch between Adam and the Rock, even mid-sentence. It was weird but hilarious. Of course, Batman needs his Robin. Tonight, the part of the Boy Wonder was played by Ryan Reynolds, in the old school costume with the booty short speedo and elf boots and everything. Yes, he did work them just as much as you expect, and yes, he and the Rock as the new Batman and Robin is the newest thing I never knew I wanted so desperately.

So, they put me into "protective custody", which basically means they took me to the Batcave and left me under the "watchful" eyes of the robot dinosaur and Michael Jackson (who was wearing an insanely awesome costume that was a combination of a Peter Pan outfit and his jacket from Beat It). Michael, was an awful bodyguard, spending his time moonwalking on the ceiling while the dinosaur gnawed on a giant bone, so obviously, I was kidnapped. I was brought to an amusement park and locked in a house of mirrors. While I never found out the "why", the "who" that put the hit out on me was Two-Face. Now, Two-Face's body wasn't built enough to be the one and not skinny enough to be the other, so I'm not sure who it belonged to, but the faces were played by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Neil Patrick Harris. (I have no idea who my brain hired as the casting agent for this dream, but I think they really went overboard)

At this point, things got fuzzy. There was a Scooby-Doo style chase through the amusement park to a mash up of Beck and The Beastie Boys. I'm pretty sure some other things happened. Somehow, I got rescued by the Flash, who was played by William Shatner, who immediately insisted I repay his heroism by marrying him. He used the same punctuated speaking style as he did in Star Trek and only spoke in puns. After rescuing me, he continued to badger me with marriage proposals... or is it marriage proPUNsals? Ha! I made a funny. Anyway, more things happen that I can't remember, but Shatner starts getting really really demandy with the proposals and I'm rescued from him by Aquaman. He pulls me into the ocean, that magically appeared in the center of a random lake, and because I'm not Atlantean or part fish, I drown, because Bill Gates (Aquaman) isn't nearly as smart in my dreams as he claims to be in real life.

So, there you go. Crazy dream, yeah? Though I seriously need Tim Burton to team up with the people who made Speed Racer so they can cast the Rock and Ryan Reynolds in the next Batman film. It would be so freaking amazing. I need it to happen!

people grow old? like, that’s a thing that happens? leave my guy alone.

This man deserves everything let him he happy

Ok… This is what happened to Fraser

-His wife ditched him and asked for 900k a year,

-He was sexually assaulted which he said kicked him into a deep depression

-He stated that the stunts from the 3rd Mummy movie completely destroyed his body and he was in and out of the hospital for 7 years even having to get surgery to repair his vocal cords.

-He apparently blamed himself for all this which only worsened his depression.

This man has literally been through hell this past decade so please lets cut him some slack and wish him the best

All this but also that picture on the right is a really bad paparazzi photo compared with a professional quality movie promo still. No one looks good when some random person snaps you on the street, regardless of who you are.

Compare with this image from the GQ article last February:

Proper lighting, professional setting, good angles etc.

The dude is 49 and has had a rough couple of decades, but he’s still lovely to look at, and I’ll fight anyone who says otherwise.

Plus, now he’s in Doom Patrol, which makes me happy af.

And let’s not forget he was probably slightly to severely dehydrated to look that buff in he first photo. And I’m so pleased he got work again he seems like a good sort, and from the stealth pilot in Titans, Doom Patrol looks like it should be good.

It shouldn’t even matter what he’s been through. Body shaming of ANYONE is wrong.

ALL OF THIS

The last time I saw this it was only at the first ‘cut him some slack’ part and it just progressively gets better each time.

We support this Brendan Fraser in this home

We love Brendan Fraser in this home

I love him and I will fight anyone who doesn’t believe he’s amazing.

This is my favorite celebrity headline of today

John Mulaney voice: It was even weirder, though, when I went out for the night with some money, black out, and wake up with more money, because that means that I earned money. That means that I traded goods and/or services. Which is scary.

Back in the old days, Kenneth Branagh actually involved Tom in the process of creating Loki. He asked Tom for all the aspects that he’d wish to explore. Tom kept a scrapbook where he wrote down all his ideas. The actors of Thor met to discuss the dynamics between the characters. That’s when Tom and Rene Russo came up with the backstory of Frigga being the one who taught Loki magic, and decided that they would share a tic. After filming Thor, Tom met Joss Whedon and they spent a whole afternoon discussing Loki, and what happened to him after his suicide attempt.

And now, actors have no idea what’s going on when they’re filming and reciting their lines. It’s no wonder the films feel so soulless. It looks like Marvel completely missed the fact that Loki became so popular because the guy who played him always knew what the character was feeling and how he would be moving.

Friendly reminder that Joss Whedon sent Tom Hiddleston the entire Avengers script and Tom read the entire thing and loved it so much that he sent a gushing email back to Joss, thanking him for writing Loki as such an emotionally complex, layered character. 

Just compare that level of artistic integrity and caring about the characters and the plot to the most recent shit show of the actors not even knowing what fucking movie they’re filming.

Funny thing - if your actor doesn’t know what movie they’re filming or the role they have in the plot, then their agent can’t properly negotiate for the pay they deserve for their work.

This is a rampant issue with voice acting too.

the appeal of pride and prejudice isn’t “mysterious brooding gentleman sweeps average smart girl off her feet”. It’s “hot rich man argues with woman for months, eventually tells her she was right” like winning arguments against hot people is the greatest victory
