Guillermo del Toro directing Frankenstein is a gift to humanity on its own, but the possibility of Andrew Garfield finally bringing the queer yearning and fruitiness that has been missing from every adaptation of Frankenstein is the cherry on top of the cake
EDIT:
Star Wars 💫
Bringing you tired space dads barely coping with their magically precocious children since 1977
Persona A: monologues about identity and the nature of reality and if anything is real and what is god and is our existence purposeful if we’re pursuing a life that is not truly our own
Person B: *nods in dutch
This has definitely been pitched before, but petition for a remake of les miserables where everyone is a muppet except Javert
I just love how supportive and kind the show made Stede, from the first episode he’s trying to help his crew better themselves, paying them wages (something Stede bonnet did irl by the way). He cares about their emotional well being he is such a golden retriever of a man-
And then- when Ed comes into his life and Stede is instantly on board to teach him the ways of a gentleman and fucks up a whole ship of people who put him down, and the whole exchange where he’s just like let’s forget the whole murder thing, oh you killed ur dad? Bitch probably had it coming xoxo Stede
Even when he goes home and he’s slow to realise how good the life Mary has built for herself is, he goes on to Stan her paintings and her work and he even fangirls over her new boyfriend
I bet he sees Blackbeard going through his villain period next season and he’s just like ✨ yassssssss my love, stab them all, Lucius who? Hahaha ✨
Honestly at this point when Netflix cancels a show it’s an assurance of quality
I’m calling it now Poseidon is gonna be fucking Ryan Reynalds
Edit: well this aged like milk
Kaos being cancelled rlly sucks and I’m sad we don’t see the continuation of the story but lord in heaven how do you make Orpheus Chris Martin when hozier was right there yearning and trying to bury himself, ascending to a higher plane of existence, viewing all his past lives, realising he is in fact the reincarnation of Orpheus and meanwhile Chris Martin is probably out there making a salad without dressing
She was born to play Judy Poovey if you even care
What I love most about the finale is how it shows Louis finally on his own and content. Claudia calls him out for it multiple times, “who are you without me” who is Louis alone, because he never gets a chance to find out between his relationships to his family then lestat then Claudia then armand. Louis is always having to perform a role for those he loves and he has no idea who he is alone. The whole “yes maitre” roleplay with armand divorces him even further from who he is, forcing him back into the role of Louis the pimp.
But instead of going back to lestat Louis decides to be on his own, to fully be himself, and the redecorated apartment full of colour and pictures of Claudia and his brother is a beautiful expression of this.
The genre is platonic soulmates your honour
