I wish people would stop saying “It’s July. Well done for wasting half a year.” Did you make someone smile in the past six months? Did you stroke a cat or throw a stick for a dog? Did you learn a new fact or teach someone a new joke? Did you laugh, cry, scream or sing in the past six months? Because if so, congratulations for not wasting your time at all.
Who contains the right level of pre-mixed internal vitriol combined with a deep and obsessive love for MAD MAX FURY ROAD that can pre-write the post Academy Awards night review, eviscerating the voters for overlooking MMFR in the voting?
We know it’s going to happen. None of the characters are dying of a terminal disease in MMFR while simultaneously heavily emoting and talking constantly about how they feel about it as it’s happening in front of our eyes.
Most of the older voters will not have seen the film and, those that did, will have missed 90% of what has been so awesomely illuminated here in these Tumblr posts. (Can we provide mandatory cliff notes?)
Like Hollywood obituaries, which often get written months in advance of any aging star’s death, I think the drafting of this outraged-post can be started now.
I just wanted to mention it, because someone here is going to watch the awards being handed out to some very obviously pretentious middle of the road films and their heads WILL…
OMG ROFLMAO aaa ha ha ha ha haaa! Damn Mister Chris, okay, I’ll start preparing my rant in advance :D
MEANWHILE? GET PRINTING ON THOSE MANDATORY CLIFF’S NOTES. bonehandledknife‘S FILM THEORY POSTS WILL BE VITAL - PRINT THEM ALLL!
LMAO UM WHAT BUT ALSO SURE GO AHEAD WITH THE PRINTING.
I don’t think I have the pre-mixed internal vitrol necessary though for the post-Academy awards review. Mostly I’m just rolling about in a ball of yay over this film. I *have* seen a larger cross-section of people love this film than I expected and hope that when the ‘voting’ DVDs arrive for the voters that they actually sit down and fucking watch the movie.
Because if they can understand film/visual language at all, that’s about all it should take.
But I suppose that’s being optimistic about people.
I know I’m not the only one to look at this scene and think to myself, “I wonder who’s job it is to to roto Theron’s spit?”
Moreover, how many takes did that take??
One thing I was thinking about during this is that there’s more spitting in faces or at objects (the chastity belt) than you see in films normally. Made me wonder if in this world spitting at someone is like the ultimate insult because water is so scarce. As if to say that they hate them so much it’s worth losing this bit of water to insult them.
I wish tumblr actually gave a shit about Greece right now. Everyone’s happy to reblog posts of pictures of Santorini and the Greek islands and to read books based of Greek mythology and quote Greek philosophers and live in countries built on the ideas and inventions that GREEKS CREATED but I am yet to see one post about the Greek crisis and it just seems like no one cares what’s going on. People do not have any money whatsoever, all banks are closed and accounts are frozen. ATMs are only giving 60 euro a day to people and they are soon going to run out of money. Unemployment is at 28% if I’m correct. 272.7% increase in depression. People are committing suicide because of the living standards. There has been electricity and hot water cuts in parts of Greece. Pensioners can’t get their pensions. The Greek PEOPLE are being blamed because apparently they are ‘too lazy’ but no ones blaming anyone else when it’s not the people of Greece’s fault. they’re being bullied and pressured by more powerful countries, the eu and imf to vote yes on the referendum meaning higher taxes and spending cuts putting the people of greece in even more poverty. not to mention that Greece already has a corrupt government to deal with. And no one seems to care that whatever the outcome is with Greece effects other countries such as Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Italy who are also in a very fragile state. I have family in Greece right now and my yiayia (grandmother) has informed us that she is currently living off her last 20 euros because she’s on the island Lesvos in a village and can’t access any of her money in her bank accounts. It’s disgusting that people are making jokes of this situation when the people of Greece are suffering as much as they are, and I don’t think they realize what an effect Greece collapsing will have on them and the rest of the world! All I’m asking is for the people of tumblr to open their eyes to a major issue in the world right now because even if it’s not effecting you directly, it’s effecting millions of people. Greece needs help and even if it can get something as little as more recognition and acknowledgment of how bad the problem is, maybe just maybe things can get better
There’s a bailout fund for greek people here: https://www.indiegogo.com/greek-bailout-fund.html. If you can afford it, please donate. So far €1,713,912 has been raised.
“If it fails, you get your money back. If it works, you’re a part of history.” - Marina Diamandis
The page says that if everyone in the EU gave 3 euros, it would pay for the bailout. I am Canadian, so 4 euros is about 5 dollars and 80 cents for me. There could be serious repercussions if we cannot help Greece, but beyond that this is about helping the people of Greece return to their normal lives and reestablish their country.Those who have the privelege to donate truly should consider doing so. This will literally cost you less than chicken nuggets.
