Y'all...
The new set of audiobooks for Discworld just dropped, including Richard Coyle's narration for Going Postal, Making Money, and Raising Steam.
Can you guess what I'm doing right now?
Whenever I've had a rough day or I'm feeling a little low, I hum the M*A*S*H theme song to myself.
Then I curl myself up into a little ball because that almost always makes it worse.
Hawkeye’s so silly I want to make out with him and then put him through unimaginable horrors!
We were robbed of these two having more scenes in Knight Terrors together.
I know Wesley has been through a lot and met all kinds of people, but for some reason when he mentioned knowing Batman through either time travel or alternate dimensions, I can only imagine him having met a Burt Ward type of Robin.
So instead getting "Holy dreamscape Batman!", he gets:
13-16 year old with big sword.
”what’s your favorite TOS ship?”
obviously it’s the spirk one
“that’s such a basic bitch answer-“
ALRIGHT YOU WANT A REAL ANSWER JOEY??? ALRIGHT

I dont care if I wrote this paper two semesters ago.
It fucking slaps.
It's one of the best things I've ever written in my life and I'm going to attach it on anything that wants a writing sample from me.
Patrick Troughton (Jason and the Argonauts)—He's really good as a man beknighted by harpies whose immediate first reaction to being beknighted by harpies is to stuff as much bread down his shirt as possible. I won't mention his other roles (though im thinking about them. hard) and i just want to say everything about him is just a little guy, a tiny little little man, a man here for hopes and dreams and frivolity (but dont fuckin cross him you will get yoinked!!!!)
Giulietta Masina (La Strada, Fortunella, Nights of Cabiria)—To me, she is the DEFINITION of scrungly little guy, always, but especially in La Strada. She is hilarious, adorable and heartbreaking all in one. She was born in a wet cardboard box all alone. She is the slapstick clown woman of my dreams. She gets called an "ugly artichoke" TWICE in that film (not true, very brutal, but quite funny - she's the wife of the director too, might I add). Her face is so brilliant, no one ever emoted like she did. She is Pierrot Hot, simple as. Gif of the exact moment I fell in love with her upon first seeing this film, if you wanna include it: [link]
This is round 2 of the contest. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. If you're confused on what a scrungle is, or any of the rules of the contest, click here. Reminder that this is a movie bracket, not a TV bracket, so no TV-related propaganda will be accepted.
[additional submitted propaganda + scrungly videos under the cut]
Giulietta:
She's Italian, isn't that enough? No? Fine. She also won two Cannes film awards and is best known for her character in La Strada, in which she played a young woman who fell in love with her captor and witnessed the cruelty of humanity, but still never really lost her child-like spirit.
Masina has a wonderful impish, scrungly quality to her that made her perfect for her iconic Sad Clown type roles. She got tons of comparisons to Chaplin (who despite being handsome, certainly *played* scrungles) and goddamn if they aren’t true. Like yes, she’s obviously beautiful when glammed up, but even in promotional photos, Masina always has this weirdo quality to her. I could see her playing a strange little goblin sidekick to Columbo as he solves a murder in Italy. Even in Nights of Cabiria, where she’s ostensibly playing an object of desire, Masina carries herself with a gait usually reserved for old crones and character actors, (which only makes her yearning for happiness more tragic!).
Patrick:
Pov: You're Otto Chriek and the Ankh-Morpork Times is writing a puff piece on the Patrician. You need a photo for the occasion, and you've just told Vetinari to pose in any way he feels like.
Me reading Darwin's On the Origins of Species in a desperate attempt to study for my Midterm that's tomorrow:
"Ha. He said cock."
Terrible jokes and ramblings and OH GOD, THE PAIN! THE UNENDURABLE AGONY! (howdy)
