Alice in Wonderland dir. Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson, Hamilton Luske | 1951
Latest thing crawling through my mind on The English.
When Cornelia tells Eli 'there's a man trying to forget my son up on Powder River and I'm going there to remind him'. Um, so does this mean Cornelia and David corresponded at some point, because how else would he know they had a son at all or know to hire men to detain/kill her?
If so, I can only imagine Cornelia sending David some eccentric flowery-ass letter, telling him in polite fashion that she's sailing over to end him once and for all, it's all she dreams of, avenging the life he stole from her, the stars are aligning, she’s a Scorpio and revenge is her creed, and her voice is going to be the last thing he hears-
And David would write back: "That sounds absolutely thrilling, I'm a mad fan of that, it's the wildest thing you've ever said, fuckin’ arousing, that is, please do try, you bloody trollop, you know my address. I'm positively gagging for it. Cheers, luv. Yours truly, the Biggest D in the West.”

I love this man.
Have I mentioned how much I love the Halliwell brothers?
Eyk: I love her even though she's crazy!
Daniel: I love her BECAUSE she's crazy!!
Elliot (face buried in his hand): Dads, not again...
I love how in The English David Melmont’s first scene makes him look like some random sidekick to a sad rich boy, but then he just starts Villain Monologuing outrageously and I and literally everyone on screen just sit there like, oh, he’s bad, he’s got precisely no chill, what pit did he crawl out of, where’s he been this whole time, and why can no one can shut him up-
I like "old" films and puzzles :)
