The Terminator (1984) Deleted Scene

this scene remains both george lucas levels of dubious dialogue and serious overarcting AND YET infinite kyle reese feels a little thing i've always liked from tscc was the aside from derek about how they killed a deer for food and kyle cried at the sight of it so they buried it and went hungry and it's just such a strong little detail that tells you so much about both of them but it's also 100% consistent with this kyle (the show was also consistent with other deleted scenes don't ya know!) anyway i've always liked that connection even though this scene was not needed on a few levels terminator stars and her feels about gun toting time travelers and the shapeshifting robots trying to kill us all kyle reese deleted scene t1

OTW Election: FairestCat has an analysis of reasons not to vote for Audrey R. that go a great deal deeper than "She ran for office as a Republican last year."

If I helped you get a membership, do keep in mind that you are under no obligation to vote the way I'm going to vote. I will not ask how anyone intends to vote even if I sent them ten of my personal dollars.

audrey r otw i'm not currently eligible to vote (behind on donations. sorry!) and haven't looked deeply into this myself but gopasaurus just don't vote for republicans fairestcat

whats the longest (singular) flight youve been on?

never been on a plane

less than 1 hour

1+ hour

2+ hours

5+ hours

8+ hours

10+ hours

12+ hours

14+ hours

15+ hours

singular meaning without stopping for any reason

feel free to add what the flight was!

boston to hong kong was 16 hours! a total time warp of a travel experience but totally worth it for the honeymoon and also that was in 2018 so hong kong was an easy and neat place to have long layovers in...possibly less so now. apparently the current longest flight in the world is nearly 19 hours from nyc to singapore so i guess that's what they did in 'crazy rich asians' a movie that did not feature any jetlag like i appreciate the super-duper first-class experience definitely helps you sleep better than our economy flights paid for almost entirely by points boyfriend had been accumulating since college but you can't buy your way out of time zones! when we got back from that trip i spent several days waking up at 3am and unable to stop from crashing around like 6pm during that range was a milestone birthday dinner for my father in law and despite a massive cup of coffee RIGHT before i was delirious by air travel still not a great experience no matter how you slice it but definitely something i've stopped taking for granted since covid poll

Tom Holland does Rihanna’s “Umbrella” on Lip Sync Battle

dxphni

I’m literally zendaya reacting like he didn’t have to go that hard and yet..

Must always reblog

Sometimes you just need to watch again. Instant serotonin.

I love that his only regret about this is him not having done the routine in heels.

blavikennbutcher

I wonder if this is what sealed the deal for Zendaya. Cause I get it.

When I WATCHED this one on tv, y'all!!!!! I loved watching LL’s reaction! I don’t think ANYONE was prepared for it, cuz I know I wasn’t.

And the young man does ballet!!!

sidepartskinnyjeans

The key thing is he NAILS the routine and does it seriously, it’s not a joke choice. He does it with passion.

Completely agree with the above comment. This is what makes it so much better than some of the other performances that people consider good. (I’m particularly thinking of Channing Tatum’s performance here.)

Tom Holland didn’t seem like he was dressing in women’s clothes and dancing like a woman as a lighthearted gag done for laughs. Even if that’s what he intended (I have no idea), once he was out there on that stage, he played it seriously. He went out there and delivered a serious performance. It was intense, and he injected his legitimate (not exaggerated for laughs) sex appeal into the performance.

wolfsmom1

He was brilliant.

phinarei

Literally every time I watch this I appreciate it more. More comments or more perspective or I just notice something else I didn’t before.

I will never not reblog this.

lentilswitheverything

imagine being the choreographer for the show

you’re used to dealing with people like chrissy teigan and serena williams, game for it sure but 0 dance training or experience and not really a performer (although i’ve still not figured out what it is chrissy teigan actually does so many I’m wrong about that? not important)

and then this guy comes up to you and says hey, i’m gonna be on the show. i went to stage school so i have literally no shame or performance anxiety, i’m a trained dancer in ballet tap and modern, i was billy elliot on the west end so you don’t have to worry about me not remembering the routine, and i’m in the best shape of my life because i’m spiderman right now, literally hit me with your absolutely worst i can take it

if i’d been them i’d have fucking burst into tears on the spot

oh man i definitely saw this when it first came out but it's been awhile and DAMN tom holland lip sync battle sometimes there are musicals where the choreography/performances are such that i'm a little stunned they can FIND that many people able to actually do the thing called for billy elliot was one of those. newsies was another. add in the water aspect of the performance here which also includes JUMPING and CONTROLLED FALLING and BALANCING ONE-HANDED in said water and just daaaaaaamn dancing

One of the things that made Captain America: The Winter Soldier so good was that it really went out of its way to establish character’s competence before they fought the big climax of the story, so you really feel the stakes. 

Fury escaped a whole set of police cars and weaponized teams and being shot at from all sides, but then comes the Winter Soldier and bam just like that he’s down. Steve took out a set of pirates and Batroc at the start of the movie, then an entire elevator full of STRIKE agents, brought down a plane with his bare hands, but then bam the Winter Soldier slams into him like nothing else before. 

And with Winter Soldier we see him take out Fury twice, go toe to toe with Steve, hurl Natasha around, yank a guy from a car, jump from a bridge, he’s restrained in a room filled with people with huge guns and he slams a guy halfway across the room, and then Pierce goes ahead and slaps him, because he can.

I remember watching that movie in theatres back in 2014 (2015?) when it first came out, and gasping in shock when Pierce slaps the Winter Soldier across the face. This guy has super-serum, and Pierce is an old man. The Winter Soldier could have killed Pierce with his pinky finger. I was expecting him to react violently to being slapped, and for Pierce to end up as a red smear on the nearest wall.

When the Soldier just accepted his punishment, I was deeply creeped out. That’s when it really hit me that he is a victim. He’s been brainwashed so thoroughly Pierce has zero hesitation in getting violent with him. Pierce KNOWS he’s the one in control, and the Soldier would never dare to fight back.

Pierce can hit him with impunity, and the Soldier being a supersoldier is irrelevant. Yeah, he’s physically extraordinarily strong, but he’s not a person, he’s a tool. Pierce expects unquestioning obedience from him, and he always gets it. The Soldier’s mind is not his own, and he’s been enslaved.

P.S. Now I’m nostalgic for the days when Marvel used to make movies that didn’t suck. Yeah, there were some turkeys back in the day, but there were also some movies that were really GOOD. In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, they convinced Robert fucking Redford to appear in a superhero movie, and he was amazing. Pierce wasn’t your average supervillain.

He was much scarier than that, because he was just a charming, genial, unscrupulous human being who had accumulated far too much power. He had no superpowers at all, but he was a terrifying villain because he didn’t NEED superpowers. He had his brain and his position, and he had a bureaucracy to ensure his decisions get implemented. Plus, the Winter Soldier programmed to carry out Pierce’s every order and treat him like he was God. Pierce didn’t need to get his hands dirty.

Also, that movie is an interesting outlier compared with other MCU movies. Captain America: The Winter Soldier is barely a superhero movie. Yes, it features 2 characters with superserum, and it has plenty of action scenes. But at its core, it’s really a spy thriller.

this movie fucked me up it fucked me up good it's been nearly a decade and YES i've mostly moved on but it really was such a good movie and this is very good meta competence porn at its finest catws marvel mcu

BARBIE (2023) dir. Greta Gerwig

barbie i missed the proper barbenheimer celebration completely on account of moving and all that jazz thoroughly spoiled for this by tumblr and no complaints because every new element i learn about is more delightful than the last and i'm still really looking forward to seeing it once we have reduced the boxes enough that a babysitter can navigate the house however there's just no way any single line from the film is going to be funnier than this fascism

Here's the truth: if this website collapses too, I will never know when a show has finally come out, because I won't suddenly see new gifs from it.

this also goes for movies good lord but the things this site and the people on it have brought into my life from lbd to tog. also nimona. selfie. pitch. snowpiercer. a million other things i'm forgetting right this second but am still grateful for. best blue hellsite i love you awesome nerds

hi tumblr i forgot to post about it but i have a lil website that selects a new album every day for you to listen to!

albums are selected out of submissions made by other people, and everyone gets the same album everyday. its just something i made so i can get more organic, left-field, weird recommendations that an algorithm would never suggest

so please, if you have the time, please submit your favorite weird music here. there's like over 400 (!!!!) albums submitted so far, but more is always better :D

you can also go through the history to find some albums that have been highlighted on previous days

i just like this music i submitted an album called 'shift' by an australian band called fruit that i saw once in like sixth grade with my mom several of their songs live in my head rent-free to this day because we got a couple of their cds it was good music! although evidently the most memorable ('gossip queen') must've been on a demo ep or something because at least according to spotify it actually lives on a different album that came out well after that show would've been anyway fun idea thank you op

So anyway watch Leverage.

john rogers twitter leverage still the best the episode in s2 of the reboot where they go to the borderline kkk affiliated summer camp retreat bacchanal for rich old men i spent the entire episode feeling like i was watching a bad parody and wondering what to think about the one or two black dudes mixed in among the mostly-white crowd AND THEN IT TURNS OUT FUCKING CLARENCE THOMAS GOES TO THAT THING IN FUCKING REAL LIFE the 'solutions' on that show are always idealized and simplified. obviously. but it's frankly terrifying how little they make up when it comes to the problems
