enjoying 2012 les mis is like. yes i love parts of it. yes aspects of it are absolutely sinful and straight up bad. the acting is terrific. the singing is dogshit (please give jackman a glass of water) except when it verges on angelic (redmayne, barks, and seyfried). the casting is iconic (blagden served cunt for his .2 seconds of screentime and barks is legendary). who let tom hooper direct this (it was mackintosh (derogatory)). why did they cut parts of the songs only to ADD an entire new number. would i recommend watching it? absolutely. should it be your first exposure to les mis? absolutely NOT. was it mine? you know it babes! is it the most well known/popular/easiest version to find? again, yes, but i'm begging you on hands and knees to watch it live or find a bootleg or the 25th anniversary concert or ANYTHING else as an introduction or i promise that the version of the musical that burns itself into your memory will include ugly singing (i speak from experience)

I just finished Saw X and john literally looked like this throughout the entire movie

How am i supposed to hate that unhinged son of a bitch when he has the aura of a nice old dementia patient who's got no idea whats going on

just watched the phantom rouge movie for the first time in three years and i forgot how fucking funny the cgi is

reading lotr for the first time and today i got to the part where frodo sold bag end to the sackville-bagginses??????? i could never have predicted this. i was in class and i audibly gasped and closed the book. i was absorbed in the book and it shocked me back to reality. i can’t believe this.

watched the bad movie for my BOY and they let him say like 3 lines before killing him, but he was still clearly the most competent actor in the piece so like. who really won here?

I just now noticed that William is living under another fake name in this universe

everyone can make fun of me for unironically listening to the wonka soundtrack on repeat for the past week but as a musical fan it's been hell trying to escape the curse of lin manuel miranda's influence in every single musical movie for the past 6 years so. this is nice

mean girls 2024 is not bad like they make some questionable choices but I don't hate (all of) the reimagined songs and they chose to have fun with it which absolutely helps with the musical aspect of it

it also feels like the movie momentarily becomes a renee rapp fancam generator whenever she sings which is hilarious this is also how I feel about Aaron Taylor Johnson strutting around in Bullet Train

I have a big google doc thing where I keep track of media and stuff (putting everything in loosely ranked categories), which is mostly just for my own reference so I know what tv shows I've already seen before, etc. and I never really look back through it, typically just a quick "okay, watched two movie in the past 8 months, need to quickly slap them somewhere in the lists. okay. done. save document. exit". But today I was actually reading through some of the old notes and there are like... MULTIPLE places where my comment is basically "It would have been good if it were about elves" or "I wish there was a fantasy show made in this same style" or "It's well made, but I just keep thinking about how I would like it more if everyone was an elf or was in old 1700s costumes" or etc like...... lol.... Most biased media ranking system on earth blatantly made by someone with an extremely hyperspecific range of narrow interests. It'd be like if a food reviewer only had 5 foods they actually liked, so they'd just go to a pizza place and be like "eh, the pizza was okay, but I just think it would be better if it was cereal instead. :/ ...2 out of 10"

Y'all I'm not going to lie, all the gifsets kinda make me want to get into Percy Jackson??

to all the creatives striking in california right now: you're doing amazing sweeties 💖💖💖

i havent even watched legacy yet but that fucking kh world did some.. unexpected things to me

I am heavily contemplating on buying myself a dvd player soon and buying all the DVDs for a ton of movies and tv shows I grew up watching cuz I miss the magic of dvds

YOU ALL I WATCHED OPPENHEIMER

i’m halfway through m a estro and i’d say bra dley cooper told an ai to write a movie meant for the academy to rave over despite being hot garbage except i legitimately think ai would write a better movie
