I know how alone you feel… alone in all that cold blackness… but I'm there in the dark with you.
The Abyss (1989) dir. James Cameron
#the abyss#omg hiiii the abyss hello!!#recently i was thinking of the conversation where she describes him lighting the second candle like a huge dork#and what he says to her#and dealt myself massive emotional damage in the middle of a work day#good times

Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
#i say this having seen both eastern promises and LOTR on the big screen in the past 2 weeks#and noting that in EP he’s either a) in an armani suit or b) naked#but honestly#this is the ultimate mortensen look#unshaven wearing women’s jewellery and facing almost certain death#LOTR

trust between two people who could easily kill one another (especially when it would be the more sensible option in the scenario) drives me insane. you could kill me. you SHOULD kill me. but you won’t. and i won’t. and i’m going to go a step further and trust you to hold my life in your hands. as i hold yours. wild sick twisted etc

#MiniatureMonday #TinyTuesday
Olympic stamps / [edited by Kazimir Rapoša ; text by Tomaž Zajc ; translated by Martin Cregeen].
In honor of the upcoming summer Olympics, we here at Special Collections and Archives thought it would be fun to take a look back at previous Olympics through the miniature book Olympic Stamps! This book contains Olympic stamps dating all the way back to the 1800s.
Spanning many countries, including Finland, Mexico, and of course Greece. These stamps perfectly encapsulate their hosted summer or winter Olympics.
So take a look at these awesome stamps and get excited for the upcoming events (and hopefully a new, amazing stamp)!

#on a recent rewatch of LOTR i really noticed how unhinged a performance karl urban is putting in as eomer#but like as an expression of rohirrim ideals#i mean there’s definitely a sibling resemblance re: eowyn’s laser focus on dying in battle#like that did not come out of nowhere#eomer is ‘i will escalate any situation and i will do it with my whole body’#‘ill kick your ass i’ll kick my own ass i don’t even care’#like he cries big and he loves a poem and i’m 100% sure he sings#bc these are the ideal expressions of citizenry in edoras#but also there’s this skywalker-esque absolute batshit feral child quality about him#like i have this image of 15 year old eomer#and he’d absolutely be doing the horseboy equivalent of wamp rat targeting in beggars canyon on a horse with no saddle or tack of any kind#frankly terrifying tbh#photography#cristobal hara

Denzel Washington being an absolute whore in MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING (1993)
#you know i don’t think i’d need a second one for working days i’d be OK to accept the costly version as-is tbh#like i would manage is what i’m saying#although i’m in awe of the elegance and efficiency of beatrice backing away from him in a way that allows them both to save face#absolute A+ ‘thank you but no thank you’ work from her#the prince is a hard character to play Likeable these days bc he does take claudio’s part in a microsecond which is not a great look#so a lot rides on that party conversation with beatrice where they have a nice little comfortable flirt to everyone’s mutual satisfaction#and thompson and washington absolutely nail it#much ado about nothing#shakespeare tag#branagh always knows how to dress his men you have to give him that

Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia in 'Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope' (1977), wearing jewellery by Finnish designer Björn Weckström for Lapponia.
The 'Planetoid Valleys' necklace and 'Darina´s Bracelet' were originally parts of Lapponia's 1969 'Space Silver' collection.
George Lucas had seen Weckström's striking silver pieces and wanted to feature them in 'Star Wars'. Costume designer John Mollo bought the necklace and bracelet from Lapponia's London store in 1976, just before filming started.
The 'Space Silver' collection is still in production, and can be ordered from Kalevala, the company which took over the Lapponia brand.
Necklace, €2.965 | Bracelet, €825

The brain is wider than the sky, for put them side by side, the one the other will contain with ease, and you beside. The brain is deeper than the sea, for hold them blue to blue, the one the other will absorb, as sponges buckets do.
1899 (2022)
Episode I: The Ship, dir. Baran bo Odar
#longest standalone twilight zone ep of all time#being that it’s 8 hours long#rod should have come out at the like ‘was that messed up or what? ok take it easy gang till next time’#1899
