HAPPY OF THE END (2024) EP4
Sex is great and all, but have you ever watched a scene with so much tension that your soul left your body?
Like Togawa's thumb in Nozue's mouth?
Or Teh smelling Oh-aew?
Perhaps Ritsu giving Masumi some water?
Maybe Mangkorn commanding Yai to kneel and not speak?
Possibly Vegas sniffing Pete while forcing Pete to talk to his grandmother?
When Tan leaned into Bun and asked him this?
Did Li Cheng licking Mu Ren's lips finally do it?
Or is your soul intact and still very much tethered to your body?
Palestinian activists get their message across on Londons iconic Tower Bridge landmark- one of the cities most historic buildings. We need a ceasefire now.
LOVE IN THE BIG CITY. For Dazed Korea (2024).
First Kill knows exactly what it is an who its for. Its doesn't waste a minute trying to please anyone outside of its intended audience. It plays the classics but its not afraid to shake things up and tell the story it wants to tell. And I really admire that. I would rather watch something made with a budget of thumb tacks and paperclips that has the courage to be itself than a million dollar block buster with no heart. That's my favorite thing about it.
I loved the Vegas and Pete scene in the temple because it truly shows how both Vegas and Pete function but also how the power structure between them truly comes into play.
Vegas and Pete both know that the other person is not there innocently and not coming into this conversation innocently. Vegas knows Pete is there to spy on him and Pete knows that Vegas is always up to no good, always wearing a fake heart on his sleeve.
And the entire scene is both of them not talking about that. Not touching on that. But nudging. Little pokes. Almost entirely from Pete but each response from Vegas is the same nudge in return.
They both know that they are not who they seem. They are both wearing masks for the world. They are both not who they are for the sake of the people around them.
And they see it in each other.
But the power structure, Vegas being able to order Pete around, Pete being unable to say no, Pete getting dragged along with them, Vegas showing him his own calmness in the face of the world...
Pete knows this isn't Vegas. And Vegas knows that too.
They both know that the other person knows but both of them are pretending they don't.
They both act like they're wearing their hearts of their sleeves while their true emotions lies behind a mask and their hearts are hidden. Vegas chained his up and Pete's is protected with a smile.

If supernatural shows can depict someone's body being shredded to bits, and their souls being destroyed for ever and ever, and still find a stupid loophole to bring them back, then Big and Chan, whose deaths were never verbally confirmed on the show, and whose bodies haven't been shown, can still make a comeback, if there's a second season.
