I was literally just thinking to myself yesterday that I was glad these two hadn't been paired together for the semifinals. What a fool I was.
Propaganda
Toshiro Mifune (Rashomon, Seven Samurai, Grand Prix, Stray Dog)—i love and respect my boi tab hunter (rest in peace you beautiful, beautiful man ❤️), but after i watched like 12 of his movies in a row on tcm last year, i ALSO love and respect toshiro mifune, son of a literal actual hatamoto’s (a high-ranking samurai) daughter, also very possibly related to the best judokan EVER, AND, he’s the guy who SHOULD have been obi-wan kenobi. the fact that he’s ALSO hot as hell just adds to his appeal.
Sidney Poitier (Lilies of the Field, To Sir With Love)—an unbelievably beautiful man, a complete class act. Something about his eyes breaks my heart every time.
This is the final poll of the Hot & Vintage Men Tournament. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage man.
THIS POLL LASTS FOR 24 HOURS.
[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]
Toshiro Mifune propaganda:
"In addition, he spoke fluent mandarin and every time he was casted in foreign films, he said his lines in the language of the movie (although they ended up dubbing him. He wasn’t happy about it though).”
Submitted: this gifset
Also submitted: this video (yes, that one)
"Crucial Toshiro Mifune propaganda: THOSE LEGS"
"That is hella muscle. Go watch The Hidden Fortress, aka Star Wars A New Hope. His thighs deserve an award."
Sidney Poitier propaganda:
Not to be dramatic or anything but I think I've fucked myself over on some of these finals.
Almost all of them are projects and I think I've waited too long to start some of them. I guess we shall see.
I know that I've made this joke before, but the fact that the second Doctor's hat is almost always slightly off-screen always gives me big Doug Dimmadome vibes.
But to be fair, the actual length of his hat is also too funny for me to take seriously anyway.
Similarities between Columbo and Vimes:
Always finds the criminal(s)
Absolutely love and worship their wives
Cigar addicts
Always investigating/mingling with the rich, but doesn't fit in with that crowd.
Later has other, younger detectives following them around and introducing new ideas and techniques.
Short little guys.
Not to mention that Pratchett wrote something along the lines of "Being investigated by Vimes was like being nibbled to death by a duck." (I couldn't find the exact quote, but I know it exists somewhere.)
Which is a play on Peter Falk's quote about Columbo:
"Being chased by Columbo is like being nibbled to death by a duck."
This was fun. Thanks for bringing it up!
Vimes and Columbo have so much in common it's crazy. (They're both coppers and are completely devoted & worship their wives)
The more I watch Columbo, the more I'm convinced that he's a supernatural being and that the Columbo Dimension is a fate far worse than Hell.
Life would be so much more simple if we could all just stay home and watch Columbo.
In the original The Wolf Man movie with Lon Chaney Jr. as Larry Talbot, the character at the end of the film gets beaten to death by his father with a silver cane. This is because a werewolf can only be killed by silver in the hands of someone who loves them.
When Larry Talbot appears again in Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman, he now has a scar from where he was beaten. I don't remember if this scar carries through to the rest of his appearances in later media, but it shows that at least at the beginning, Universal Pictures cared about the continuity of their monster movie stories.
My point?
Don't have one.
JOSH KIRBY, TWOFLOWER DOESN'T LITERALLY HAVE FOUR EYES!!!! TERRY MEANS TO SAY THAT HE WEARS GLASSES!!!!! JOSH, DON'T DRAW HIM WITH TWO SETS OF EYES!!! JOOOOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alright, since I'm 80% sure Doctor Who starts tomorrow, I'm locking in my crazy guesses on who Mrs. Flood is for the season. This is based off of nothing but vibes.
1. The White Gaurdian
My reasoning? Eldritch being in white. We've seen last season that Davies is pulling from Classic Who a lot, so why not someone pretty important to some of the otherworldly aspects of old Doctor Who?
2. Kronos
I'm still really bitter about the whole Sutekh and Ruby's mom thing tbh. I convinced myself that there was evidence that Kronos was Ruby's parent (they're a God, they don't really have a gender.) And since Sutekh called himself the God of Death, it would be funny if Davies brought in another being from Classic Who that was more neutral in their title of God of Death. And as you can see above, their form while on this plane of existence is white.
Also, it's almost 100% a thing that Flood's the one that took the gold tooth that housed The Master. In The Time Monster, Kronos was about to torture the Master for all eternity if the Doctor hadn't pleaded with them to show mercy. So maybe there's still some hard feelings?
And yes, both of these rely heavily on the fact that Flood was wearing all white for about thirty seconds in the Season 1 finale.
I forgot my password and Tumblr sucks at resetting it, so I just had to make an entire new account.
Very sad.
Edit:
Also, I had privated my like page, so now I can't look up my old blog and like things I want to see again. Damn my own short sightedness. DAMN YOU TUMBLR!
I'll get u for this. -_-
Throwback to when I was taking a game design class and my friend @pokeblaze0238 let me make a small point and click game based off of her image.
I was really into researching mascot horror and how children's media can be twisted into really engaging horror stories.
Terrible jokes and ramblings and OH GOD, THE PAIN! THE UNENDURABLE AGONY! (howdy)
