I decided to mess around and use the Barbie generator thing on a few Florence Pugh pics for fun, but noticed the auto-generated Barbie descriptions were really cool, so for the next 24 hours (or until I remember to delete this) anyone who wants to can download these, use them and keep them for themselves.
Enjoy!

Macbeth, William Shakespeare / Henry IV , William Shakespeare
Collateral (2004) dir. Michael Mann
On the homophone pair ‘deer’ and ‘dear’ in Shakespeare’s works, the line in Macbeth denotes those that were dear to someone. Also seen in Henry IV.
In Collateral the function the usage of homophones assumes is adapted when Max makes out the bloodied windshield from the hit to be the blood of a deer; the original meaning being extracted just before with Vincent – in a similar vein – noting about his quarry, “they’re somebody’s friends…”
In addition, prior to the cops pulling them over, Vincent muses: “Probably married. Maybe that one's got kids. Probably his wife's pregnant…” assessing the potential familial relations of the (“deer”) persons he threatens will be added to the quarry of murdered “deer” ones filling the trunk space.
