Un été à la goulette (1996)  Férid Boughedir

Some amazing goods to be found at the shelves in Samos shops 🤩

Just radically changed my hair, and I fucking love it. But then, looking at it more, I realized it looked familiar.

It's this, just shorter. It might be that length by my New York trip 😅

Had a very good day, good news kept coming, time to go to bed with a smile-

Oh

HELP WHAT IS THIS

Éric Rohmer’s “Le Rayon Vert” (The Green Ray) March 9, 1986.

Some people will see you eat something moderately resembling something healthy and go "omg why are you dieting?? You're so thin!!!"

i havent made any posts abt it but now that the big part is basically over ive gotta tell you im absolutely fucking fascinated with this whole submarine situation

Summer...

The biggest offender of the ROP show : it doesn't do any justice to Ar-Pharazon/Sauron. And Ar-Pharazon isn't DILF enough

Anon, you are so right. Well, I don't think it's the biggest offense, but it is a major offense! It didn't help that imo Halbrand is a black hole of charisma, store-brand Viggo. I don't think they even interacted :(

I quite liked Pharazon's look but not for him; it would have worked well for an OC advisor or maybe Amandil. But Pharazon himself should be smoking hot and look much younger: prime of life, not entering old age. I'd love him to resemble Elrond (and thus Luthien).

Mediterraneo

Gabriele Salvadores

please nake the comparison im curioud

Ok ok so the movie is called bryce de nice and the main guy bryce from nice really loves surfing and can not surf to save his life and is maybe a bit scared of water and a little pathetic and so a connection was made

I adored the Mario movie, probably the best Fillm ILMNT has ever made, but I didn’t like how Mario had to earn his dads and relatives love and respect by being cool, he deserved love and respect just for being a good person.

I didn't want to respond to this because it gets into spoiler territory but I did reblog a spoiler post about the same subject yesterday so

Well I do not see it like that at all. Mario's family already loved him and were proud of him, you see it how happy they are to see them walk in and the fact they ALL watched their commercial. But they are Mediterranean. As a Meditteranean myself, it is seen as motivating and encouraging to criticize your independant choices, and as just teasing to roast you. Especially men towards men since it is a little machist way of thinking therefore they need to "tough up" but it is encouraging their own way

Mario being in his 20's was raised in an American environment while his father and uncles have an accent suggesting they might have grown more with their Italian origins so he takes it badly as well as of course being low at the moment (as a Corsican who often fo through it I HATE it too, and I suspect if you are neurodivergent like I suspect I am you will too because it can be very stressing out, but you know that they don't mean it and it is in a way their way to encourage you thinking it will boost you up and to hide their own worries) while as you see they are all shocked that he is upset since it was not their goal. Mediterranean people are family oriented, and thus internally panic when the family safety choice isn't chosen (Luigi and Mario leaving their steady job for making their own). But when you do succeed, it is not out of hypocrisy that they then tell you they are proud and happy for you, because NOW they are relieved to see it worked after all. Plus, as the post I reblogged yesterday precises, see how Mario's dad wouldn't have mentionned it if he was not asked, meaning he was willing to keep his worries for himself and not ruin the mood, but then got carried away. And that himself didn't mean it to come off as hard since he wss surprised in the end with his "what ?"

Mario and Luigi did not earn their love and respect. They always loved them and the roasting is seen as harmless in Mediterranean society (in Corsica we call it macagna and can sound VERY MEAN OUT OF CONTEXT but is not a reflect of what the person thinks and they may be ready to punch someone else who says it) and the father's words were obviously meant to sound harsher than what he meant because he is worried about what future awaits for them after leaving a steady job, but just see how happy they are to have them for dinner. Plus, we saw they were dressed like that as babies, wouldn't you laugh and make fun if your nephew dressed up in their adult-sized toddler gears as their work uniform, and white gloves for a dirty (literally) work at that ?

In the end of the movie, seeing they almost lost them (when the Piranha plant eats them before their eyes, and after all they must have been missing for like 2 days), the dad no longer cares for the stoic and harsh Mediterranean paterfamilias way. He is too relieved to see they live and is also genuinely impressed (he saw them kick a fucking dragon by themselves !!!) So of COURSE he finally opens up and says he is proud. But he always felt it

And before anyone tells me "well then it's hypocrite to hate Encanto then since you justify it as Mediterranean family dynamic, Encanto is about Latino family dynamic", well no because it was handled much better in other movies like Coco or The Book of Life and because no matter the society it is NOT okay ro have a scapegoat and play favorites just because your life sucked and someone has to pay and you don't hesitate to publicly humiliate, encourage the others to be just as mean or neglecting and one fucking feels the need to banish himself so that you don't have to feel as bad as he had been made to feel for all his life by such a "loving family"

gooooood morningggg <3
