finally went to see the new star wars with my best friend today and idk man. maybe it’s because my expectations were really low but i didn’t find it to be /that/ bad
i mean it’s kind underwhelming, and some parts it just /drags/ while other parts are all over the place but overall it isn’t the giant hot pile of garbage i was lead to believe it was
AnonymousWhat was the film you were after?
I was looking for
L'une chante, l'autre pas
(One Sings, the Other Doesn’t) - I saw a feel stills of this film a couple of weeks and it made me curious enough to want to watch. Bit hard to find tho.
I think I may have found it early today but it’s a pretty heavy file, so I still have to try to see if it’s a working file ~~
I don’t usually read Star Trek comics, but I’ve spent a good chunk of tonight reading The Q Conflict. It’s a big crossover comic between TOS, TNG, DS9 and . The official summary is this:
When a dispute between godlike beings threatens the galaxy, it will take all of Starfleet’s best captains to stop them. James T. Kirk, Jean-Luc Picard, Kathryn Janeway, and Benjamin Sisko must go head-to-head in a competition rigged by the arrogant Q and his nigh-omnipotent cohorts.
I, of course, read this hoping for some Qcard moments. There ain’t many lmao but some comments below the cut (spoilers for the whole thing, as well as a few images)
Keep reading
I just realized the other day that we can post fanvids on the Archive and that I had never posted mine, so I posted my old fanvids on AO3 for personal archiving purposes.
Nothing new here, just all the ones I ever did compilled on a single place ~~
when I think about the most recent books in the Vampire Chronicles saga, they all are somehow bad for different reasons while still having its funny/endearing moments, but it’s with surprise that I realize that my favorite in this wild new canon is actually Prince Lestat and The Realms of Atlantis, the one that I was mostly skeptical of when I first read about
Prince Lestat makes me SO angry. It’s bad because I kind hate how it destabilizes the old rules of canon and seems to forget the errors of the past. I think it’s a horrible idea for the vampires to live under a monarchy. I think it’s even a more awful idea for Lestat to be this monarch because Lestat is a) still a relatively young vampire and b) Lestat is VERY instable and it just feels dumb to believe the old ass vampires would just obey him like that lmao. Prince Lestat is also bad because it introduce a fuckton of new characters and mostly of them are so bland that they just mix up in my head and quite frankly it would have more emotional impact if it had a narrative composed of most known vampires. But Prince Lestat does have some good in the fact that at least a little it tries to rebuild some of the relationships left on hold in previous books so ehh it’s the only good thing I can think of naming, really
Now Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis… it’s bad because the history of the aliens feels so detached from the rest of the book, the way it was written. It’s not a /bad/ history, but it feels like it shouldn’t belong in the book, like it should have it’s own book or something. The pace is weird. But PLROA is my favorite of the new ones because it has so much investment in the relationships and yes especially Lestat/Louis lmao they have some amazing couple-y moments and Louis was well written for the first time in AGES and it makes my heart warm to read their scenes together that I’m willing to overlook all the other things in the book that make me mad, lmao
Now Blood Communion was perhaps the most disappointing one. I thought a one-person-only narrative would have been better after two books overflowing with bland character povs, but nah. The most disappointing thing about this book is that Lestat feels utterly soulless and even the cute moments with Louis aren’t so cute because his emotional response is so cold. In fact the only thing I truly love in this book is the very emotional, very strong spat between Lestat and Armand, because somehow Armand is the only vampire who makes some kind of god damned sense in this book because otherwise I hate pretty much every choice Anne makes to this new vampire court and the pace of this book is utterly atrocious
Oh wait lmao, there’s another part of the book I love - one of the few L/L moments where Lestat doesn’t feel soulless is at the end, where him and Louis are dancing together. That was cute
me, halfway through Midsommar: oh this is just like the star trek: the next generation episode Half a Life, but bloodier
I forgot one of the reasons I hate Nemesis so much is because they had Deanna getting raped (again) by someone invading her thoughts while she was having an intimate moment with a man she loves and trusts (AGAIN)
