honestly, rogue one's got all the things you could want in a film:

a female lead who is an actual character and is neither hyper-sexualized, nor reduced to being a romantic object for any of the men around her

found family!!

some of the saddest most pethetic bbygrl poor little meow meow men in the galaxy

a mildly erotic tentacle scene

mads mikkelson?

an incredibly sarcastic but still painfully genuine robot

a sassy man in an even sassier cape

and an extremely tragic but still very hopeful ending

"You’re impulsive, dangerous, and the last thing we need right now."

By existing as a citizen in and paying taxes to the imperial core, we automatically hold complicity in imperialist oppression because we are literally footing the bill for it. That is just the basic nature of being born to privilege in systems of oppression in general. We can be disadvantaged and marginalized in every single other consideration and we still have to understand and cope with this, and ensure we leverage it as effectively as possible.

Voting abstinence/sabotage does not absolve us of our responsibility to do everything in our power to lessen harm, but it DOES show that when our personal morals aren't satisfied, we retreat into (imperialist, this time) privilege to 'wash our hands' of the situation and declare it's not our fault and it's not our problem.

The Last Jedi Sucks

Not at all sorry. I've been seeing far too many TLJ fans saying "it's the best Star Wars movie" (with the sanest ones compromising and saying it's the "best since Empire Strikes Back") and even more TLJ apologists saying "it's the best Disney Star Wars movie."

I'll not stand for either slander.

The Last Jedi sucks. The villains are incompetent caricatures, the heroes survive on dumb luck in spite of sheer stupidity, and the mythology of Star Wars is broken down by a filmmaker who admits he does shit just to stir the pot. The opening space battle is ridiculous, The Slow Speed Chase is asinine, the gambling planet is a painfully dull aesop, the hyperspace ram is so bloody stupid Disney had to come up with three different explanations on how it worked only for them to all be contradicted by the next movie, and the ground battle is the most painful bad retelling of the Battle of Hoth that it strains reason; and that's just plot A. Plot B consists of the character assassination of a classic sci-fi hero under the pretend guise of "character development" when all they've really done is make him a jaded bastard for the worst reasons, then we will dangle a heel turn for the trilogy Heroine (the one time this movie mightve redeemed itself) only for that to be nothing more than bait after staging an excessively (yet somehow poorly) choreographed fight scene that people nut themselves over. At the end the "good guys" are in such poor shape that there's barely more than a dozen of them left, yet Leia says "we have all that we need," for what? A Basketball team? This isn't the end of Empire where we still see there is a Rebel fleet and they still have hope. This is 12 people on a bucket of a light freighter.

Oh and they killed Luke by having him teleconference too hard across space. Fucking hell.

I had someone say to me, "I'm so sorry we apparently didn't watch the same movie." Yeah, probably because I was watching it and you were daydreaming a better movie.

Also the best Disney Star Wars movie is Rogue One.

As important as explicit gay rep is, nothing will ever be funnier to me than an entire fandom collectively deciding a relationship between two characters is gay without even a shred of subtext

Okay but this Jack clip is giving Jake vibes (?)

Even a bit of the low accent is similar…

Poe and Rey being cuties 🥰

Yes the fuck please

I know a lot is going on in the world right now but this kind of loss of art is breaking my heart in two.

The Valentino’s Costume Group in Hollywood has lost everything after the death of their co-founder, the pandemic, strikes, etc. and is now being forced to do a very quick liquidation sale before having to send all of their years of hard work to be turned into rags. (Yes this is a real thing)

These people have crafted thousands of costumes over 20 years to rent to everyone and anyone who needed one. They’re sex worker and queer friendly. They’re also being accused of being “fast fashion” while being one of the few places in this world actively working against fast fashion with their work. They don’t want to have to turn their hard work into rags. It’s the only option for them with the enormous amount of costumes/fabrics they have to remove from the building very quickly.

So, Californians and anyone willing to travel to Hollywood: YOU can save a costume! (or two?) YOU can save someone’s art from being destroyed! YOU can own pieces of Hollywood! YOU can save so much sewing supplies and fabrics!

Where: 5535 CAHUENGA BLVD, N. HOLLYWOOD

Phone: 818-427-5248

Special hours for Influencers: May 20-30th 9:30am-4:30pm MON-SUN

What: Vintage, designer, menswear, historical, specialty, children’s, shoes, jewelry, vintage hats, show packages, racks, fabric, etc!

Important note: Please be kind and patient with the folks managing this sale. There’s maybe 2-3 people working at the most, and they all just suffered the death of someone close to them and the loss of their dream.

Please, please signal boost this. Their hard work should not go to waste and this terrible loss is already hard enough on them.

CUTENESS OVERLOAD!!!❤❤❤
