Phil: I should– probably shouldn't say this, but like, I'm gonna say it anyways because it makes me– makes me happy like, thinking about it. I have like, a whole origin story of my character like, planned out. And I don't know when I'm gonna get to share it with everyone, I don't know when I'm gonna get to share that. But like, I think about it almost daily now. [Laughs] I think about it almost daily. It's a problem. It's a problem. I need to start writing it down, 'cuz it's just- it's just swirling in my head, and I keep listening to the same songs that I think would go really well with it. They are heavily copyrighted, unfortunately. [Laughs] So... I'm like this close to pulling the trigger and commissioning some artists and animatic like, makers to just do it.
Phil: [Reading chat] "Ask Wolfy, and they'll just make you Minecraft Jesus." That's true, Wolfy is all about just making various different like, Jesus religion-related animations at the minute. So... if I wanted to become Jesus, I go to Wolfy. "Hey Wolfy mate, so I know you're a big fan of these guys, these old guys from the Bible and stuff, but what about– what about– [Laughs] What about me? Wanna do– wanna do another one? [Laughs] Wanna do a Creature 2?" But just like, super- super biblical– [Laughs]
Phil: What a crazy ask. Crazy sentence, crazy ask, Jesus Christ.
I randomly decided on a whim the first day of the new year that I wanted to consume more stories that I haven't particularly read or watched yet, probably because I read and watched less new books/films last year than before. Thus I've been watching a "film" (loosely defined short or feature length or alternate form of media) every day and reading a book every week. We'll see if I can keep it up, but here's the point of this post: there are certain films I can't really find posts of on tumblr. This post is meant to amend that. For most films I'm sure I'll be reblogging gifs or quotes, but for the others, particularly short films, this post will be a record of that. I am keeping track of the 365 days of films/shorts I'm watching on Letterboxd, but tumblr has always sort of been my favorite for this stuff with gifs and whatnot, so I like to have it on here too. This post in particular is just meant to help complement for films I cannot find posts about on tumblr.
Every other film will be recorded under #watched: 2024 on this blog. Books, for that note, will be recorded under #read: 2024.

monkey man promo interviews r just like oh yeah dev patel broke multiple bones during the action scenes and he simply shoved a screw into his hand and moved on and the sets kept burning down and the cameras were malfunctioning and we spent half a year editing a segment in a scene and we were trapped in an island for months and the crew was marrying n divorcing each other in total soap opera fashion but whatever we made it because if there's a will there's a way <3
