The 145 films we watched this year. Can you figure out the odds one out?
(pink is Inès, green is Gabrielle, white is watched by both)
Again, thanks to @hotvintagepoll for all the great movie recs. Your blog literally made me fall back in love with Old Hollywood which then helped me get back into my passion for cinema and I'm so thankful that my cinema year was so rich (and Toshiro-full) thanks to you and your community ❤️
Got some Mikey and Klunk for you today
Every mikey needs a Klunk. Very Important tmnt requirement.
i wasnt supposed to post this one here but i dont have anything else rn 🫂
and my plan was to do the whole airplane scene but my wrist still hurts so have this instead 🧍♂️
Have you noticed that every streaming service has Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles episodes listed in a different order?
For instance, Netflix has Flushed, But Never Forgotten/Lair Games listed BEFORE Many Unhappy Returns, which chronologically doesn't make sense... Well, that's because the show originally aired in the wrong order...
How do we know the correct order?
Easy. Production Codes.
But Good News Everyone...
(I've listed them below JIC the page is not accessible in your country)
(Added image descriptions for anyone that needs them)
I accidentally stumbled onto this corrected list while looking up more info about the show, so I thought I would share it here! 😌
❤️🧡💙💜

Dudes healthcare is so fake. My ADHD meds are $940 without insurance. But they gave me a website of "coupons" which straight up looks like a scam website, and I got it today for $60! Just a coupon from a random website and it was $900 cheaper. America, I am confusion!! America explain!!
the updated turtle hands woohoo, hope these look better :]
As a child my options were:
archeologist, detective, writer, ballerina, teacher, pirate, superhero (plant powers), cat (just straight up become a cat), and ninja. I had to narrow it down a bit when I got older.
if we lived in a world where u had to do the career u were first interested in as a child what would u be doing, id be a firefighter
Spoke to a gen z person the other night and apparently the young folks don't know about the very legal sites from which you can access public domain media (including Dracula, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and other Victorian gothic horror stories)?
Like this young person didn't even know about goddamn Gutenberg which is a SHAME. I linked to it and they went "aw yiss time to do a theft" and I was like "I mean yo ho ho and all that, sure, but. you know gutenberg is entirely legal, right?"
Anyway I'm gonna put this in a few Choice Tags (sorry dracula fans I DID mention it though so it's fair game) and then put some Cool Links in a reblog so this post will still show UP in said tags lmao.
You wanna know what’s pretty messed up?
So there’s a mini, joke chapter at the end of Fullmetal Alchemist Volume 3 called “Flame vs. Fullmetal” –if you’ve watched FMA 03, you’ll remember they adopted aspects of this into the semi-joke episode, episode 13—Anyway, the premise is that people have started musing about the timeless question, “Who would win in a fight?” between Ed and Roy. And for the hell of it, Ed and Roy agree to an all-out alchemist battle to settle the matter.
Fast forward through the battle a bit, Ed’s lured Roy out with a decoy and seizes the opportunity to jump the Colonel from the smoke.
In classic Roy fashion though–
–he’s prepared. “You sliced up my right glove but psyche I’ve got a second one that does the exact same thing.”
And Ed’s toast. Rip Ed.
This whole sequence is pure humor, all jokes and snark and the satisfaction of watching Ed and Roy try to beat the shit out of each other. But something about it seemed…familiar. Something that finally clicked.
In this silly little sequence, Ed chose disarmament of his enemy over victory. He chose securing his position of power by using his automail weapon to slice through his enemy’s transmutation circle rather than actual violence. And his foolish trust in passively subduing a powerful opponent is what gets him well and truly burned.
And then, well there’s his fight against Kimblee. Chapter 76
Ed spent a long chunk of the lead-up to this battle arguing that he does not want to kill Kimblee. He gets into a fight with the Briggs soldiers about this, and they never quite convince him that Kimblee is better off murdered.
So when it comes down to a fight between the two of them, Ed chooses mercy. He chooses Kimblee’s life. He separated Kimblee from his philosopher’s stone, and slices out the transmutation circle on Kimblee’s palm.
And just when he’s let his guard down, convinced he’s passively won–
–Kimblee, rather than Roy this time, pulls out his trump card.
It’s…nigh identical. Ed sees an opening, uses it to disarm, then is taken by complete surprise that his opponent has a second transmutation circle…a second philosopher’s stone.
In Flame vs Fullmetal, Ed is just sort of…comically blown away. His weakness was exposed and his pride suffered for it. Against Kimblee. Well–
–he does not get away in tact.
And it hits as such a…dark piece of continuity. A trueness to this being Ed’s weakness, and a stark, cold, harsh reality in the fact that there are bigger, scarier things out there than Mustang, yet things just as manipulative, powerful, tactful. Things which will kill Ed at a moment’s notice, that do not deserve his mercy.
Ed lives, but he sacrifices his own life-force for it. He surrenders years off the end of his life to pull through. This is an unforgiving consequence shown to naivete. And the parallel exposed in a joke chapter from volume 3 is just…
…well, chilling.
