Hey! Just wanted to say that idea does sound good, I hope I was sounding like it wasn’t - I was more trying to help you out if you wanted to look up stuff right now that might be helpful ^^;. Actually, what about a tumblr blog like that? Then we could use the tumblr tagging system. We could have separate entries for each movie and trigger (so the spoilers are minimal, you only get for the things that pertain to your trigger, rather than a whole bunch like on those parental guidance sites). The language can be specific and easy to ctrl+F to find things you may be particularly interested in. Movies would be easier, but even for TV shows if you split up episodes and everything than people could skip episodes they might find triggery (I know there was a recent SPN episode that had Dean in a military uniform, and someone knew they were going to find that triggery for them, so they just read the episode summary online). The main page of the blog could have tag breakdowns so you can search by trigger, by movie, by season of tv show or look for a specific episode. I think tumblr blogs can have members too so it could be a bunch of people working on it. I think it would be something really good, I know a lot of people choose to miss seeing a lot of movies entirely because they’re worried about getting triggered.

 ??? Blog name: trigger-warning or something, since we’re warning about triggers but also trigger warning… anyway, puns.

This actually sounds wonderful.  I would start it if I had the patience and persistence to keep it up (I’m really bad with finishing things I start, even if it’s something that gets help from other people; I’m not a good manager). 

Instead, I’ll put the idea out there.

And no worries, I didn’t think you were being rude or anything like that, I probably sounded like I didn’t appreciate your help XD… I was tired and in a bad mood when I wrote the posts, so I apologize for that ♥

UGH, this point in the film broke my heart. 

.

.

.

THERE BE SPOILERS BELOW IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN THE FILM BY NOW.

.

.

.

The only time we see Arkin truly give up, truly stop fighting… and notably, it’s the fight for his own life, not someone else’s. 

He reaches a point, here, where he sees no way out.  He’s been at that point countless times, and gone around, done something else, FOUGHT… but Elena’s out, she’s past the fire, the Collector’s been taken care of (so they thought at the time), and there is no one left to save but himself.  Arkin has been through hell more than once already, but he falls to his knees after all he’s been through, after being attacked, rebroken, stabbed… and he looks up with this resignation that shoots straight through my chest and just keeps on going out the back.

THAT is what makes the turn around such a powerful moment.  THAT is what makes someone saving the savior so amazing, so beautiful.  It’s after that resigned fall, after he recognized that the last heroic moment was spent, that he was the one meant to do the rescuing because that’s what he had to do, it’s after that that the gift is returned.

I love this point in the film more than any other because for one it flips “damsel in distress” on its fucking head, showing a female who’d been kidnapped and chased actually being a fucking badass (that curtain rod was IN the fire, and made of METAL, guys, you can see her have to grip it twice to get past the heat… she’d have 2nd or 3rd degree burns on her fingers and palms from picking it up and grasping it, let alone gripping and fucking SWINGING at those tanks; adrenaline does a lot for you), actually saving someone ELSE, saving the MALE, the male LEAD, the male lead (arguably anti-)HERO. 

What it also does is display Arkin’s character in a way we hadn’t seen before, showing his limits, his depths, and giving him something he hadn’t had: someone fighting for HIM.  The look on his face when the first tank bursts, when he realizes that Elena is coming for him, that he’s going to get out because someone else is going to help him, someone finds him worthy of helping, of saving, of caring for…

No matter what else the movie did, this scene was gorgeous.

There’s honestly something magical about this movie (no, it’s not the pants)… I have watched it easily a dozen times, whenever i see it on though I don’t own it (yet)… and every time, it does not fail to move me.

…Who’s playing Johnny?  Are we still pretending him and Steve don’t look exactly alike, Marvel movie people?

Apparition 2012 

This movie actually wasn’t too bad… Interesting premise (I wasn’t paying full attention in the beginning, but I think that was okay).

Also, Sebastian Stan and Tom Felton both being adorable.  Sebastian, how do you look YOUNGER here than in Captain America?

Anyway, plenty of “odam!” moments, which I love in a horror/scary/thriller flick.  Just wait til the furniture fucks up. Awesome.

A loving family.

Loved this movie.

This movie always gave me so many feels as a kid.

my favorite <3

No guys, I need to stop and talk about something in this movie and how fucking revolutionary it was; something that I haven’t seen in a movie before or since.

This is a movie about a kid who leaves her birth family.

Not a kid who find that they have a secret lineage or something that allows them to find their ‘true family’ - this is a movie about a kid whose true birth family is made up of bad people. So she gets out. And that is played as the right thing to do. She isn’t punished for it or made to feel bad about ‘abandoning her family’. There isn’t an underlying ‘but they’re your family and you have to love them’ or ‘they’re your family and they love you even if they don’t show it well or do hurtful things’ message of the kind that I see OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER in media. Matilda gets out and livess happily ever after because of it.

We need a million more movies like this to counter the metric shit ton of movies that directly counter this message.

matilda was and will always be a superhero to me

We need a million more movies like this to counter the metric shit ton of movies that directly counter this message.

First of all, YES. YES, YES, YES.

Second of all… Pointsthe phrase “metric shit ton.”

SO looking forward to this film… even though the creep factor is sky-high.

Seeing The Dark Knight Rises for the 13th Time…

It’s not even about the plot anymore.

It’s about the OTB feels.

AND ALSO OT5 FEELS, THANKS TO GIRLFRIEND’S FIC.

 


As of This Afternoon…

…when I go to see The Dark Knight Rises again with Girlfriend and family…

…I will have spent 27.5 hours of my life watching this movie.

And it hasn’t even come out on DVD yet.

#What is my life?

#I regret nothing

 


Quotes From Tonight:

  • Girlfriend: There was a serious lack of Tom Hardy in that movie. Just sayin. Serious plot hole, there.
  • Me: ...Not plot HOLE... that's when it doesn't make sense because something's missing--
  • Girlfriend: EXACTLY.
  • :
  • Me: C'mon, it was just lying there, waiting to be taken...
  • Bestie: ...Like Liam Neeson's wife?...
  • :
  • Girlfriend: Well, if this can't be the dystopia of my choosing--
  • Me: ...it can at least be BETTER.
  • Girlfriend: Yes. If you all can't just fucking die off for me, the least you can do is get along!
  • :
  • Trailer for "Zero Dark Thirty": "When did you last see Osama Bin Laden?"
  • 45 Seconds Later in the Same Trailer: "When did you last see Osama Bin Laden?"
  • Me, to Girlfriend: WHERE'S BIN LADEN!?! WHERE IS HE?!? YOU'D NEVER PUT HIM IN AN ORDINARY BUNKER!! WHERE IS HE!?!

Posting for: “Gary Oldman? Yeah, Guy Pearce, Tom Hardy, Jessica Chastain… Shia LaBeouf.”

Reblogging for that, as well…

Also, while I think this is a fair shake at the film’s core, I disagree (as is perfectly fine to do on my side as well as the reviewers, just MHO) on the point that Jack Bondurant wanted to “BE” Forrest.

The way I took their characters from the interactions, the tensions, and the way they displayed themselves was that they were nothing alike and really couldn’t ever be alike.  Jack even states that he’s “not like [Forrest] and Howard, I ain’t never been” in body, in fighting, in the way they are feared.  I don’t think Jack wants the fear that his holder brothers inspire.  I think he wants respect, to be his own man, to be strong and revered… but that really isn’t wanting to BE Forrest, you know?  If anything, I think he wants to be Floyd Banner.

Maybe we’re seeing different things because I haven’t seen those ‘western’ films (can this actually be called a western when it’s set in the South?  what’s the definition on that? It doesn’t even have the characteristics of a western that I’m familiar with…), but I just didn’t take Labeouf’s character as wanting to become his older brother.

Did you guys see it that way?…

This is hilarious — edited for TV movie lines… :oD

“I have had it with these monkey-fighting snakes on this Monday to Friday plane!”

I love watching heavily-bleeped or edited for language movies on TV and watching/listening to see what they’ve changed the expletives over to… sometimes, it’s BEYOND priceless.  Like these.

face-down-asgard-up:

However you feel about Anne, bravo to her for this take down.

Watch interviews with her and with ScarJo about their comic book films. Watch how they always get questions about their bodies and clothing and diets and blah blah blah fucking blah. Watch as the male cast members do not get the same treatment.

Because apparently all we care about when it comes to actresses are their bodies and not, ya know, their acting.

A-Fucking-Men.

I love that she took it to that level instead of just blowing it off, as well.

A couple of the boys of the Avengers cast got training questions, but that was just the sideline for them.  For Scarjo, that seemed to be all anyone wanted to know… that and what being the “only woman” on set was.

BY THE WAY… COLBIE SMULDERS WAS IN THAT MOVIE, TOO.  BUT YOU KNOW, SCARJO WAS THE ONLY FEMALE.

GOD.
