It is to no one surprise that my favourite Pedro's movie is Prospect, not only for the overall story and vibes, but for Pedro's astonishing performance. This scene, for instance:

<< what do you need her for? >>

Ezra is taken by surprise by the Sater offer.

No doubt he is shocked, maybe his mind is playing games with him, the dust is setting in his veins and is slowly killing him.

But most of all, he is angry, protective, more hostile. A room of three men asked for a little girl, they wanted to buy her, like an object.

He is a diplomatic person, he talks his way out of situations, he is collected and calculative; but here, no, here he drops the act.

Seconds before he was flashing a nervous smile, chuckling a little, even cracking a joke, but now his voice is low, defensive, cold.

<< what do you need her for? >>

He is not asking because he is contemplating the offer. He asks because he wants them to say it, wants to hear it with his own ears.

It's absurd, it's wrong: he is challenging them to say the disgusting nature of their plan.

If only Cee had listened to his tone more carefully, she could have realised the true nature of his question, but she didn't trust him and reading behind the lines was out of discussion. She was too used to her father being so volative, she can't comprehend certain habits and things left unsaid.

Pedro NAILED the role, the quirkness of the character, the misery, the pain, and the gentle touch of his soul.

thinking about how in the first 5 minutes of velvet they were just like. oh yeah oscar wilde is an alien btw. and it was just?? never brought up again todd haynes i want to study ur brain under a microscope

Just watched Haunted Mansion and i'm going to make it everyone's problem

Just me rambling but dear god, I just watched Haunted Mansion(2023) and can I just say I loved it? Cause I did, it's so fucking good, and such a refreshing movie, especially coming from disney, the acting coulnd't have been better and the way they handled things.

Like the deal with grieving in such a natural way, like the scene where Ben talks to the rest about his dead wife and Bruce cracks that small joke, it was so good, because unlike in other movies coughMCUcough, the joke isn't intended to make us forget of the grieving or to undermine it, it just felt like when you are speaking of somehing hard and that is affecting you to your friends, and one makes a small joke, but it isn't meant to undermine your grief, but instead to try a lift the mood, just a bit, to give you some lightness in such a dark moment, and it felt so fucking natural.

Like I did not expect anything from this movie, like honestly I just thought it was going to be a letdown, kind of like hocus pocus 2, but it served, it went beyond everything, I did not expect to come out with a beautiful found family, and I love it.

Because in so many movies where they try to make some found family, there is genuinly no chemisty between any of the characters, and so many times it feels like they don't like eachother, but Haunted Mansion delivered.

I've only had my found family composed of a mother who will go above and beyond for anyone she cares about, a child who dresses like a grandpa, a grumpy genious, a sassy psychic, a "priest" and an actual stubborn grandpa for five minutes and if anything happened to them I will kill everyone and then myself.

I love this movie so fucking much, have I said that already?

For anyone who appreciates stop motion and stranger childrens movies, please watch this classic called Skrotnisse och hans vänner! (this upload has eng subs btw) It is perhaps the most swedish childrens movie ever made lol, bc i can't imagine a kids movie like this being made in any other country. It has no children in it, is dialog heavy, dark, uncomfortable and ‘‘ugly‘‘ looking. There is almost no music, is darkly lit and contains some frankly terrifying scenes and concepts in it.

The plot centers around brilliant scientis Bertil Enstöring, a recluse old man who does not feel that he belongs anywhere. So, after the villan (who is also an evil capitalist, very typical for older swedish childrens media) drives him from his little isolated lake house he goes on a journey to finds somewhere where he belongs. Only, he dosent. There is nowhere on earth where he wants to stay. Throughout its runtime, Bertil dosent grow less strange, dosent learn to appreciate and love the company of men or the world around him. He dosent want to go back home or to be with his one and only friend. He just gives up on finding a place on earth completely, and moves to a lonely planet where he can be alone forever. He never sees his friend again. And his friend never finds out if Bertil ever found what he was looking for.

At the end of the movie, Kalle, the son of Bertils friend Skrotnisse, asks his father about Bertil, after seeing him take a rocket up into space, never to return. It captures the gloomy, yet hopeful? spirit of the movie so well.

Kalle - Do you think he found a place? Where he feels at home?

Skrotnisse - Who knows. We will probarbly never see him again.

Kalle - Somehow...everything feels so melancholy...

Skortnisse - Come now. Lets watch TV.

In sweden, there is something called det svenska vemodet (The Swedish melancholy). It's a concept in literary circles, and refers to the overall melancholic feel that Swedish society can have. Some call it a national trait, lol. There is a bit of a difference in opinion as to whether or not this concept is just an old sterotype, but as far as swedish poetry, literature and lyrics go, it's quite prominent. With all that said, I cant help but feel that this movie captures some of that angst. Bertil will spend the rest of his life a hermit, alone. And yet, there is something so powerful about that. He dosent cave to what society deems as healty or normal. He wants to be alone, and so he choses to be alone. His friends never find real closure, and still, they move on in life. They adress the melancholy, then sit in front of the TV and laugh. They continue on as they have before. Its not exacly happy, but its life. I dont expect anyone to watch the movie after reading this post, but I hope that someone out there will know how much I love it. And why I love it. And I wish I could contact the people behind it and thank them. Because over the years Bertil has become very important to me. I just want them to know how much I love this movie.

forgot the Very good vanity fair interview with David Lowery about the green knight is very unfortunately called green knight ending explained

Scream VI has like the perfect comedy/horror/heartfelt balance. I’m giggling I’m blushing I’m tearing up I’m hiding my eyes. Truly a lil something for every occasion
