Leading off from my previous post, have a compilation I made of him being my favourite dramatic lil' guy

#hes so silly #i think we should bring back silly Octavius in fanfic #hes just so sarcastic and mean (in the best way possible) in fanfics now #and i miss this stupid little guy #i mean he is the exact same level of idiot as Jed is #in a /pos way #(not hating on stern octavius he's pretty cool too)#night at the museum #natm octavius #jedtavius #natm

“i can make that” yes, now. it’s opened a new style of expression for you. it’s shown you that that expression is worthy of consideration. it is a door that has opened and you can now walk through it. why are you mad at it for doing its job.

#I think a Jackson pollock exhibition with ms paint drawings by children who simply filled in the background and went ham by the spray paint #without prompting from the teacher or with no exposure to pollock would go so hard personally.#anyway ‘I can make that’ is a very valid response to abstract art and it should be encouraged rather than scorned because #it leads to sincere engagement rather than disdain for the thing you know?#and ‘why is this in a museum but I’m not’ is also a reasonable question worth exploring.

Broke: why are the pyramids still in Egypt? Because they don't fit in the British Museum

Woke: why are the pyramids still in Egypt? Because the Metropolitan Museum of Art couldn't fucking traffick them like they did 1000s of other artefacts

#when we talk about barking up the wrong tree sometimes we do actually mean the fucking MET #MET gala this MET gala that - this year's theme should be "Looting Through Antiquity: Notes on Trafficking #*gooit de knuppel in het hoenderhok* as we say in Dutch #one museum IS breaking the UNESCO 1970s agreement and it is not the BM

Monarchies are only fun in fiction. But overthrowing a monarchy in real life could be very fun

#uk politics #king charles news #bbc #england #english politics #we should have stolen all our stuff back from the museum when they werent looking #princess diana #kate middleton #camilla #charles #king #queen #down with the monarchy #i was secretly hoping King Arthur would come back at that moment #could you imagine #uk #politics #uk police #scotland

every day i think about tim drake being an international art thief wanted by interpol in the rr comics and i think about the sheer volume of comedy that could potentially have

#tim drake #Alvin Draper #red robin 2009 #So much crackfic potential #His first appearance was breaking into dick graysons apartment and now hes breaking into museums god bless #fic ideas #Interpol wants him💀💀#This is not the first time hes been wanted by the government #Tim Drake has committed such large volume of crimes in his comics preboot/pre flashpoint era #I love he<3 #Him and cass should commit some crimes together. For fun.

okay but another thing I like about my favorite movie is the masterful melding of practical effects and CGI

it was made in 2014! they could have CGI'd way more! but instead they BUILT THIS ENTIRE JACOBEAN MANSION INTERIOR ON A SOUNDSTAGE?!

(that shot is from a deleted scene where Thomas was supposed to see one of the ghosts. no, it's never clear which one, at least in the version that got filmed and edited)

the utilities all worked. every single piece of furniture, drapery, wallpaper, artwork...that was all real and physically present in the space

the ghosts were real people in costumes, augmented with CGI afterwards for transparency and such:

(Doug Jones or Javier Botet- I forget which one -in costume as the ghost of Margaret McDermott. who died of massive head trauma, hence the greenscreen skull section)

(Tom Hiddleston in his ghost makeup/costume)

I just. hnnnnng. I love it so much in so many ways, and the fact that so much wasn't CGI- or wasn't JUST CGI at least -makes it feel so much more real, IMO

#crimson peak #gif #but I will forever be pouring one out for the Allerdale Hall set. which was destroyed after filming #should have brought it back to Universal Studios and made it a walk-through museum of the Universal Horror franchise. and yet.
