The real problem with books-turned-movies isn’t “omg they didn’t include every single word in the book” it’s “omg they completely overlooked the main theme, threw out any significant allegories, took away all the emotional pull, an turned it into a boring action movie with a love triangle in it”
the hunger games is a really good example bc on the base textual level of stuff like what happens and the order of events they got it mostly right but they also
whitewashed half or more of the cast
removed multiple canonical disabilities in main characters
marketed it as a love triangle
basically did literally everything the villains of the book did which made it super fucking obvious
tumblr sucked yet its the only thing people like us could ever have posted on. tumblr was a deep sea geothermal vent and we are all pallid, desperate crabs snapping at the dark toxcic nutrients spweing from its hole, and bringing us into the harsh light of the instagram influencersphere would kill us instantly.
Hey is the build a bear employee supposed to force us to jump up and down or are we getting hazed
as a build-a-bear employee it is my honor to happily inform you that we get to make everyone do whatever the fuck we want during a heart ceremony. jump to get that heart beating. rub that heart to your knees so your furry friend always needs you. rub it to your toes so it’s totally awesome! shake it up so it’s got enough energy to hang out with you all day! close your eyes, make a wish, and give it a kiss you helpless motherfucker
Okay listen not build a bear but when I worked at disney my favorite part of my day was working at dispatch where I told people where to stand and then had a solid three minutes to fuck with the line.
Here’s the thing; when people are happy they’ll do whatever the fuck you ask them to, especially when they’re with their kids. Which is how everyday I got grown men and women to embarrass the shit out of themselves.
I worked at mission space which as the name implies takes you into “space”. So with each new group of recruits I would teach them new ways to introduce themselves to the aliens once they landed on mars.
Sometimes people would try to not go along with this and that just gave me the opportunity to embarrass them further. On a particular day I had a family toward the back of my line that I couldn’t fully see other than the fact that there was a very tall man pointedly avoiding looking at me. Now I need to preface I was aware they were filming the Steve Harvey show at epcot that day, I was not aware of the guests that would be on the show and I did not imagine they would bring their families onto my ride.
This is how I ended up shouting at one of my acting idols, Terry Crews in a ridiculous alien voice with my hands held up to my head as some sort of limp antennae “excuse me sir, this is very serious, I need you to put up your antennae or you’ll offend the aliens”
The point being when you try to embarrass people, make sure sergeant Terrence Jeffords isn’t in your fucking line.
I’ve just discovered my new favorite painter, Vittorio Reggianini - those smarter than myself probably already know of him as an Italian painter from the 1800s who made satin look even satiny-er than satin. I just cannot get over how much he loved painting women who were NOT. HAVING. A. MAN’S. SHIT.
But there was one hottie that everyone seemed to like, and I can’t blame them…
Vittorio knows what the ladies like.
I’m pretty sure that the women in the background of the third picture are looking at a “lewd” painting. They were sometimes kept by upper class homes in the 1800s. They were kept hidden behind a curtain and only viewed for *ahem* “recreational purposes”. So basically, those ladies are looking at porn while their friend blithely humours Bouffant McShinypants.
This dude was an art god at 2 things:
1. Satin
1. Ladies leaning on a chair making a “can you believe this shit?” face
and I’m here to admire both
This looks like the same group of ladies who are constantly chilling laughing at men I love it
