Many thoughts on Helga's design tbh
My name is Helga Sinclair. I’m acting on behalf of my employer, who has a most intriguing proposition for you. Are you interested?
ATLANTIS: THE LOST EMPIRE (2001)
Heck yea my Latin lesson is bitching! 😎😎😎
Not to be dramatic or anything but I would sell my spleen to look like a hobbit and live their silly lil life 💗
Is it really a hyperfixation if you don't do insane projects about it. This took a total of 3 days and a large expansion of my knowledge of embroidery!
Y'all I'm actually going insane over how effective the "was he slow" scene from Baby Driver is.
Hear me out.
The song that Baby makes isn't bad, I actually think it's enjoyable when he first makes it. Certain parts are a little odd, like using a recording of your boss but it's obvious when it comes to the composition that he kinda knows what he's doing.
The first scene where you interact with the song is the one in which he's actually creating it. He's having fun, creating his own beat and melody to go with it, and you begin to have a little fun too with the scene. It also feels like a very personal scene. The movie is showing you a side to Baby that most people haven't seen.
Which makes the "was he slow" scene that much worse.
When interacting with it the second time, Baby is incredibly upset and uncomfortable. He believes that his foster father has been killed in the process of getting the tapes, he has missed his opportunity to meet up with Deborah, and no one in the room trusts him. You can feel the tension in the room, and when it is disturbed by the song, the level of discomfort heightens. The team is laughing at him while his boss, who has been sampled for the song, who has kept him as a "lucky charm" since childhood, who can easily kill him or have him killed, simply looks on in disappointment.
What's insane about this scene to me is that the shame of this scene CONTINUES. For me, listening to the piece is still uncomfortable, no matter how long it's been since I've seen it.
Recently, years after the last time that I saw the movie, I was listening to the soundtrack while doing homework. The song came on. Instant pause. I thought I could push through it, after all it had been literal years.
I had to skip the song to be able to get any work done because it was STILL associating it with the second scene.
Well played, Mr. Wright.
Well played.

When I was younger, I hated my southern (USA) accent. I hated it because I was told that I sounded ignorant and because most people outside of Western movies didn't have thick southern accents and so it seemed like the people who said that the accent sounded uneducated or ignorant were correct. I began to cover it up to seem more "normal", and even got to a point where I would have to try to put the accent on if I wanted to have the southern sound. As I got older I realized that what people were saying was stupid and have felt stupid for wanting to change that part of me. Something worthy of note is that I will instinctively thicken my accent whenever comforting someone, getting angry, or talking to certain people. Upon further examination, so do most people who grew up in the South. I was curious as to why that was and decided to ask Google. The second that I began to search, I was met once again with "why do southern accents sound uneducated" and flat out "why do southern accents sound stupid". It's kind of sad for me to see people still do this to an accent that is so pretty and know that kids still will have to go through what I have.
I would have followed you to the ends of the earth. To the very fires of Mordor.
