High-Rise (2015)

High-Rise has things to say, but you’ve heard it all before. While some of it is interesting, nothing you see here will make you forget that the premise and story make no sense.

Set in a luxury tower block during the 1970s, Dr. Robert Laing (Tom Hiddleston) is settling into his new lodgings when the power begins cutting out. As the lower-class residents of the building turn on each other, the rich on the higher levels watch, not realizing the chaos below will eventually catch up to them.

Have you seen Lord of the Flies? If you haven’t, you should. After you do, you’ll recognize that this story is neither special nor interesting. You know way ahead of time everything that’s going to happen. Yes, we get it. It’s a symbolic story about capitalism putting everyone neatly in their place until something goes wrong and people devolve into savages once more. Couldn’t we at least get an interesting protagonist to accompany this familiar tale? Unless you’re easily distracted by Tom Hiddleston without any clothes on, you won't care about Laing, particularly not as he sits idly by, looking rather bored (I can’t blame him) while people go ballistic overnight. The characters are a major problem in this film for two reasons. First, there are way, way too many. Even with the nearly 2 hour running time, you’ll struggle to figure out who is dating who, which guy the pregnant lady is living with, what snooty aristocrat is trying to seduce Laing, and what purpose all of the other characters serve. Our lead is so bland you want to focus your attention on Charlotte (Sienna Miller), Richard (Luke Evans), or Helen (Elisabeth Moss), but so little time is spent fleshing them out you can't.

I understand if you appreciate the socio-political commentary being delivered. I personally became infuriated by the last few moments of the picture, where - to hammer his point firmly - director Ben Wheatley pulls down his pants and slaps you across the face without an ounce of subtlety. Even if you don't feel the same, are characters who act like human beings too much to ask for? People are getting murdered and raped, there’s no food, electricity, or water in the building… and yet they do everything but barricade themselves in. Hey idiots! Leave the building! Shockingly, the film doesn’t even attempt to try and patch up this colossal plot hole. You could’ve set the film in space, or on an island. Instead, we’re supposed to savor the message and throw all logic out the window. At least when Furious 7 asks me to leave my brain at the door it delivers spectacular action; stuff that earns my attention.

High-Rise isn’t all bad. The performances are fine and the ’70s aesthetics make it very stylish. It’s well shot. If you’ve never seen this story before I’m sure it’ll seem provocative and inspired. If only ”High-Rise” wasn’t so concerned with being philosophical maybe then it would’ve remembered to be good.

High-Rise alternates between being so in-your-face it becomes irritating and trying so hard to be subtle it becomes incomprehensible. The characters are impossible to relate to. The plot is ludicrous. It’s a shame. There is something to be said about the way structures alter behavior. What the picture wants to say about society could’ve made for a highly intellectual, thought-provoking film. Maybe next time. It's a struggle to make it through High-Rise and you're likely to despise it by the time it concludes. At least the film is well-made on a technical level. (On DVD, May 19, 2017)

amy and rory chilling at home in between trips, summer of 2012, watching the olympics. stadium’s suddenly empty and they’re both waiting for the sound of the tardis in the backyard any second now. oop, wait, crisis averted apparently, guess the doctor didn’t need to intervene after all lol, wasn’t that odd? oh dunk, some rando just grabbed the torch off the fallen torchbearer! ah well, this might as well happen, the opening ceremony is already so goddamn weird. haha that guy’s a little over dressed for a run-

wait

those pants. rory i know those pants. rory

#if they were separated during that point shh don’t worry about it #all i’m saying is the girl who waited and made countless drawings and dolls of the raggedy man will never forget his pinstriped pants #i’m fairly certain they knew the doctor could regenerate and maybe even seen his past faces #but they wouldn’t remember that nearly as well as amy would remember those exact pants #and the combination alien activity + no visit from Their doctor to go fix it #it’s not a huge jump to land on that conclusion #but i don’t think rory would be as fully convinced as amy #doctor who #i know this exact post was probably made 13 years ago but that’s never stopped me before #amy pond #rory williams

MYSTERY MAN

starring itoshi rin!

synopsis: you decide to go watch rin's football practice for the first time, much to his delight. his teammates struggle to figure out who you are and what you've done to their usually very grumpy rin.

requested by @checkoutmyflow! i hope i did your rq justice ^^

notes: first time completing a request! sorry for the wait >.< ALSO this is gn!reader :)

admittedly, you weren't much of a football fan, even though your boyfriend was a professional college player. you didn't really understand the sport, as you hadn't played it since second grade gym class, but for some reason, you had decided that today, on this sunny tuesday afternoon, you were going to drop by rin's practice alongside a football-for-dummies book to watch and hopefully learn a little about the sport he was so enamored with.

it would appear that they were in the middle of a practice match, as his teammates and him were wearing different colored pennies, and there was someone keeping score on a whiteboard.

you sat down on the bleachers quietly, not wanting to distract anyone from the game. your eyes scanned the field quickly, almost instantly finding rin's unique dark green hair. you tried your best to keep up with what was happening, quickly flipping through your book whenever someone did something cool to try and find it, but it proved to be quite difficult, and you found yourself very confused at the sport's intricacies.

despite your lack of understanding, the one thing you could observe and comprehend was how alive rin looked whilst playing. he was sweating, shit-talking, and scrambling around the field non-stop, clearly very tired, but his eyes had a certain glimmer to them that you didn't get to see often, and he moved around the field with immaculate grace and precision. you watched as he skillfully maneuvered around the field and how he seemed to be able to calculate exactly where his opponent would go. you didn't have to understand the sport to know that this field was a place where itoshi rin shined like no other.

rin took hold of the ball and began dashing across the field with it, his shiny hair blowing behind him. his eyes began darting around the field, his brain taking in and calculating every factor necessary to victory.

his brain certainly didn't expect to see you, his lovely s/o who knows nothing about football, sitting on the bleachers.

your eyes made contact for a brief moment before rin tripped over his own feet and flew forward, making literally everybody on the field stop what they were doing.

a brief moment of silence washed over the field before laughter soon took its place, his teammates jogging over to him asking if he was ok, and what the hell just happened as they howled in mirth.

he grumbled some excuse with red cheeks as he looked away, clearly very mortified. his coach decided to call a break, seeing as everyone had already stopped playing, and he grabbed his water before practically sprinting over to you.

"y/n," he breathed as he came to a stop in front of you, puffing a little from fatigue. "you're here."

you giggled. "hi, rin. i thought i should come watch one of your practices. i want to get to know all the aspects of your life, after all."

he leaned in closer to you to brush his hand against yours as you two chatted a bit. anyone could see the way his eyes softened as you spoke and how his shoulders relaxed at your every move. anyone even being his pretty-damn-stupid team.

in the distance, bachira, isagi, chigiri, nagi, and reo murmured amongst themselves, wondering about who you were - the mystery person mr. im-better-than-you-and-grumpy-all-the-time rin looked so happy to see.

"his sibling, maybe?"

"nah, i'm pretty sure sae is his only sibling."

"oh! what about his parent, then?"

"dude, do you have eyes? way too hot to be a parent."

"his lover, maybe?"

there were a solid 5 seconds of silence before they burst out into laughter once more.

"get out. itoshi rin, an s/o? no way in hell, dude."

"i doubt he could even keep anyone for more than a month. they'd get tired of his attitude real quick and leave just as fast."

"rin-chan probably isn't capable of loving anyone, after all."

despite their adamant denial of your relationship with rin, they could all notice rin's demeanor. he looked happier, more at ease, gentler, kinder, and overall, he looked like a normal person. who were you, and what had you done to their rin?

coach blew his whistle, and they watched as you gestured for him to get back with his team. they then watched with their jaws on the floor as he, itoshi rin, POUTED and SWEETLY PLANTED A KISS on your forehead before jogging off.

they all exchanged looks of pure shock as rin jogged back to them.

they all gave him a shocked look as he raised a brow.

"...what?"
