so i just finished saltburn (2023)…it’s like joe goldberg but he’s in parasite (2019) lmao i’ve only watched barry keoghan in the one other movie—the killing of a sacred deer (2017); he kinda plays the same weird/outcast character and he does it so well. as always, a24 never fails to make my stomach churn ( ꩜ ᯅ ꩜;) ꩜⋆。๋࣭ ⭑
I was explaining the movie Saltburn to my mom as we left the golden corral and were on our way to dollar general yesterday.
I wanted to watch it with her because I thought that it would be funny, but I also figured I would warn her about the pretty shocking scenes that take place. You know cuz I knew nothing about this movie and was pretty shocked when I watched it. Lol.
She of course was weirded out by the bathtub scene and gagged at the Oliver and Venetia scene but then I get to the grave scene...
This woman straight up said, "Thats either a very hard peter, or very soft dirt. You gotta be really desperate to go digging holes with your junk. That's like that scene in American pie, this guy gets a pie that's cooling on a window seal because his friends tell him that "it feels like a woman," so then he.. sticks his thing in the pie.. and.. well..."
Let me tell you one thing, I am gen z, and have never watched the movie American pie, but this was about as shocking coming from my mother's mouth as watching Saltburn with no context of the movie. I hadn't watched the trailer or anything.
I straight-up thought this movie was just a queer love story. Boy was I wrong...
I just responded by saying "..he dug the hole with his hand..." And the car went silent for a minute.
Then my mom goes, "Have you ever watched American pie?"
And I said, "No and I probably won't now."
Then she chuckles and goes "Oh, I'm sorry."
What was I supposed to say to that? 🤣🤣🤣
Edit*
I completely forgot about the almost identical Peach scene from Call Me By Your Name. I could have been like "oh yeah I also watched a movie where a guy sticks his weiner in some fruit... But he was gay so..."
snippet from my dinluke cmbyn au because they're driving me insane!!
“Am I the only person who thinks Din might be a bit arrogant?”
“Yes.” Leia and Ahsoka speak at the same time, with exactly the same tone.
“But he–”
“He’s just shy.” Anakin cuts Han off before he can say anything else, and because of the sudden rudeness (that is always directed towards Han from Anakin’s side), he definitely earns Padme stepping on his foot under the table in a warning.
“Anakin is right. Din is just shy.” Padme says and when she looks over at Luke with a faint smile on her face and an unreliable look in her eyes. Luke feels like he’s been caught. “You’ll grow to like him.”
I already do, Luke thinks but instead he replies,
“What if I grow to hate him?”
The silence that falls around them lasts only for a minute before Padme shakes her head and softly says, “I truly doubt that.”
There was a point some years ago when a wave of the cmbyn age gap discourse and the giomis age gap discourse happened at the same time and I remember looking at both like this
