It was (sorta) fun while it lasted.
Actually, it wasn’t all that fun. Plus, I always felt like there was the very real possibility that in the end, stupidity would win out. As it will.
Can’t believe it lasted this long. Still in disbelief that it worked at all.
NOT TO FREAK YOU ALL OUT BUT THIS FREAKS ME OUT A LITTLE.

I finished Mockingjay today and it occurred to me that one of the things that I like best about the whole series as a work of YA fiction is that there is pretty much no gender essentialism to speak of. Men and women fight and hold positions of power equally, take on community roles relatively indiscriminately, and, most importantly, emotional intelligence is portrayed as being a...

and we bumped into a bunch of people she knew, including one dude who then looked at me and went “oh hey! I haven’t seen you since high school!”
and I was like “um I have 100% NO recollection of you at all” except instead I just responded like a regular person
honestly I am always surprised when this sort of thing happens, because I am such a weirdo that I just...

Basically:
I hear ya on them points, lady. For me, the character of the Indian and the Race Related Stuff surrounding him probably the most complex thing to pick at in The Fall, because everything else is a big bundle of fetishization and reduction of other cultures, and this one is like, “Okay, director, you are from India, and you’re making a play on assumptions...

cptfunk asked: I totally agree with you on the general race fail in The Fall, but I just wanted to say that I kind of assumed that the reason that there's the mix-up between how the Indian character is described and how he's portrayed is because we're seeing Roy's words translated through Alexandria's imagination. And he's describing the Hollywood-stereotyped Native American...

slightly replied to your post: slightly replied to your photo: the fall……
damn. I bought the DVD because it was cheap and I’d heard good things so I guess I’ll still watch it for the good things, but. Damn!

oh man this is the first I’ve heard about racism and I was worried from the cover that there would be racism. But I assumed there wasn’t because nobody had mentioned it. WHY DO I EVER TRUST THE INTERNET?

Lee Pace consistently makes me feel all the feelings.
I’m trying to decide if I want to re/watch pushing daisies next, or see melancholia.
aka this movie has put me in a place where I can’t decide whether I want joy or sadness in my life

Normally I’d be all EVERYTHING EVER IS GOING TO KILL US EVENTUALLY about things, but dudes, Mad Cow Disease is a really horrible way to die. I mean, not that everything isn’t going to kill us eventually, but I’d rather not die of slow brain degeneration if given the option.
