    Musical Mondays-Week 4-Beauty and the Beast

    No, I wanted to come up with a silly, Eddie Izzard-like name. Something as un-beast like as possible. I was originally going to say "Kenneth" but with all the Branagh talk yesterday, I didn't want to sound un-creative. And now you all know how the sausage gets made! Also, yes. "Champ" was amazing. Delightfully condescending! Bravo!

    Hey, how was I supposed to know that was coming up?

    When the mob attacks the castle, he is holding her upside down while roughly pulling out her feathers as he cackles insanely. It's extremely upsetting.

    What The Fuck is LeFou doing to that feather duster?

    Musical Mondays-Week 4-Beauty and the Beast

    Lumiere and the Feather Duster are making out...were they always attracted to inanimate objects or was this a fetish that developed over time? Once they're human again, do they retain this kink?
  6. "Tommy can you hear me? Oh, good! You can. Because we really need to talk..."

    Sabastian. Is it weird that I would love to have a LeFou in my life?

    Musical Mondays-Week 4-Beauty and the Beast

    Kind of live Tweeting this... But how, in ten short years, did the nearby village forget about the King, Queen, and Prince that used to rule them? Belle's father is like, "Where the fuck did this castle come from?"
  9. Watched it this morning, and you're right, this is the version to watch. Funny story about it though, since I was watching so early in the morning, I had to put closed captioning on. It which was like reading the ravings of a Dadaist poet suffering from syphilis. Here's a brief excerpt: ..."little rest of the software is a piece for since these arms of mine at seven years pistol now some nine months wasted they've used their dearest action in the tented field little of this great world can I speak more than pertains to pizza broil..." But seriously, all I ever want to talk about is "pizza broil."

    I know this was brought up in Taylor Anne's Buzzfeed article, but not only is the Bookseller running his story in a town full of illiterates, but he is also just giving away merchandise to his only customer! This guy is minutes away from getting tossed into Debtor's Prison... BTW--I haven't had a chance to rewatch this yet, but plan to do so soon. I do love it though!
  11. I had the same thought actually. As long as there are no objections, I'll go ahead and make a thread in a little bit. I think enough people have seen it recently to get the ball rolling, and the rest of us can catch up when we can. Sound good everyone?
  12. Last night, I literally set a reminder up for December 1, 2017. Unless you all want to get this going sooner... I'm game, but I figured between keeping up with HDTGM and Musical Mondays, asking for another movie thing would be too much. In the meantime, everyone should totally go out and watch Some Like it Hot.

    So I Married An Axe Murderer (1993)

    I mean, you're not wrong, and if this were a more earnest Rom-Com, I'd be right there with you. But the movie revels in its absurdity, and because of that, it makes it almost bulletproof. Two grown men go to Alcatraz to talk about their love life because that's an absolutely bizarre thing to do--and if I really wanted to get pretentious, because it represents Charlie's feelings of being "trapped" when he's in a committed relationship. Also "beat poetry song?" Really?

    So I Married An Axe Murderer (1993)

    I still like it. All you're doing is making me want to watch it again.
  15. Oh, this is the best! Sitting here watching Voltron with my boys (who should be asleep) while discussing the Bard with you all here (and Letterboxd) Oh, and we love you too, Quasar!
  16. Oh, I wasn't kidding about liking him in it. That is absolutely one of my favorite movies.
  17. Here's the big question, though... Keanu Reeves as Don John: good casting or the best casting?

    A Dog's Purpose (2017)

    Of course! That's why every time I eat a burger I find a puppy to kick afterward--just so these uppity animals know who's boss. I love living in a binary world!
  19. Well, fuck. I guess I know what I'm watching at 5AM tomorrow. Thanks a lot, Cakebug! Get tupped, bro. P.S. I know you're right. Blame my Literature background for trying to find five different meanings behind every comma.
  20. I get what you're saying. However, from my limited perspective, when I hear one character taunt another by saying "what you know, you know" there is the automatic implication that there are things that they don't know, and by extension, things the audience doesn't know. Iago is cursing them, and us (...maybe just me), with uncertainty. Of course, there are things they will never know so why rub it in their face? What do they care? They solved a murder and caught a murderer. It sucks O and D are dead, but as far as the authorities are concerned, they got their man. They could give a damn about his motivations. He's dead regardless. If everything is as it seems, then justice has been served. And if justice has been served, doesn't that make those lines completely meaningless? However, you're the expert, and I will 100% defer to you.
  21. I mean, yeah...that's what the text says, but that's never felt legitimate to me--especially the line about Emilia--which is completely off base. Why would he just assume that? Iago tells us a lot of things, but I think that most of the time he's lying to us/himself. In my humble (non-expert) opinion, the line you quoted also disavows the idea that it was just for a promotion. If that were the case, or if it were as simple as that, he'd just say so. Why not just say, "I didn't like that he got promoted over me. Fuck that guy?" It's too simple. Too boring, And Iago is anything but simple and boring. Instead, in my mind, the final lines of that play set up a mystery that can never and will never be solved. A play that will never be performed. Killing Othello is great for him and all, but his vow of silence is how he "wins." Words--spoken or unspoken--are powerful. And by keeping his lips sealed, he retains a power that even death can't wrest from him. At least, that's how I feel about it. I'm probably dead wrong.
  22. Thank you for reminding me of how much I love Iago as a villain. I did a paper on him in college. I love that slimy bastard. Do you have any theories behind his motivations? Racism? Jealousy? Or is he just an agent of chaos?
