to be honest there has never been a fictional character i’ve actually wanted to date. like. i want them to date each other. i don’t want myself as a person to be involved in this scenario whatsoever. what would i add to this narratively? what’s my thematic purpose in the narrative? immersion breaking.
still believe that one of the greatest bits of all time was on January 6th, 2021 when. well. you know. and twitter was understandably an echo chamber of panic and fear and Justin McElroy just tweeted a selfie with a filter that was like “have a delicious national spaghetti day” followed by 3 tweets that were like “fuck. i’m sorry. i don’t know how to delete scheduled posts” and as i type this two years later i’m laughing

The contradiction between what we were playing and reality is this: Oftentimes we worked until two or three in the morning. We’re not the only company still shooting, but, yeah, we’re late. Cars are going through the gate, the arm comes down. There’s a line of cars. Then when I get there, the gate comes down and security says to me, “Open your trunk.” I said, “No. Why? All these other cars just … Why? What do you think I have in this Volkswagon Rabbit? What’s in there, the Defiant?” What I’m trying to say is that the contradiction, or the paradox of it all, we can’t get away from. You see what I mean? I wish sometimes that were true; that the fact I played Sisko would make some kind of difference on the street. No, only on the screen. The contradictions are evident. They are inescapable in a way.”

i should try shitposting on here. hello tumblr. enjoy this homegrown organic shitpost
Saw this image, strongly felt that it should be a meme but didn't know what it should say, literally had a dream that same night and this strangely normal and straightforward thing is what it told me to write.
Louis de Pointe du Lac.
Alt Text: Two digital drawings of Louis from Interview With The Vampire. The first features Louis looking towards the viewer. He stands in front of an orange skyline. His features are obscured by shadow. The second Image is the same as the first but with a ‘glitch’. Pieces of the picture are out of place or distorted, as if there was an issue with the film the picture was captured on.

I love vague labels that make people go "but that's confusing" or "but that could mean anything" Good. Keep guessing lol
ohhhh my god the contacts in interview are god awful. everyone is wall-eyed!!! why does hollywood do this!!!!!
i'm fascinated by a possible deeper meaning of the goncharov meme where years of fatigue and resentment for shitty fandom-bait blockbusters, support for martin scorsese following the attempts of marvel bootlickers to turn him into a bogeyman after he criticized them very accurately one time, the gradual reclamation of "film bro" cinema on this website (an effort led in my anecdotes primarily by trans mascs who get #gender from robert de niro), and years worth of blueprints for discourse and bickering over reducing artistically deep media to ship-bait have coalesced into this exact moment where we are basically desperate to manifest a brand new early-career marty movie into existence like a tulpa

you know those little critical thinking questions that they had at the end of short stories in literature textbooks? we should start putting those in posts. i miss them,,,,,,
questions:
what call to action is the author arguing for?
why does this work lack capitalization? what might this tell you about the author? what might this tell you about the context this work is meant to be read in?
is the addition of the questions self referential? does that make this post humorous? how so? how would the post be different without the addition of the questions?
i absolutely do not want a fourth season of nbc hannibal but what i do want is for the existence of this current version of iwtv to drive bryan fuller into crowdfunding a 12 minute independent film in which hugh dancy and mads mikkelsen’s unnamed characters erotically murder each other in increasingly fantastical dream sequences until they are interrupted by a mysterious figure with a gun, whereupon we discover that they have been narrating these scenes to each other while having just some pretty average ‘fiftysomething guys who have been having kinky married sex for eight years now’ knifeplay time in their little villa full of murder trophies or whatever
