feels weird that the monarchy just. Carries on. once the queen died there should be no more like what the fuck do u mean charles is king now the fuck he’s not. get him out of there. cut the fucking cameras
so, here’s the thing. tumblr/apple can ban as many words as they want and it will never achieve their goal of “cleaning up” this site because this wretched nonsense poetry is somehow now the single dirtiest thing I have ever read in my life and honestly thank god.
Ok so the thing about reading like books which are “predictable” is that I, a story enjoyer, go completely bonkers about it bc its like Enrichment in my Enclosure. A scene parallels another earlier scene between different characters thus serving to highlight the differences in their views and priorities???? A line makes me think “hmmm I bet that’s gonna be relevant later” ends up being relevant later????? I am a tiger chewing ice cubes out of a pumpkin. I’m so so happy. Please foreshadow more things. Throw the completely anticipateable plot beats at me like catnip mousies!!!!!
YEAH!!!!!!
When I see a rifle on the wall, I want to see that rifle being fired! I’m literally on the sidelines shouting “Chekov! The gun! Get the gun, Chekov!”
iron man! transformers! king kong, star trek, the silence of the lambs! dozens of shameless war propaganda films barely disguising themselves as sci-fi or horror that were obvious enough even without this list! there aren’t any real surprises here but its worth a read
David L. Robb wrote a book called Operation Hollywood: How the Pentagon Shapes and Censors Movies. This Film is Not Yet Rated featured a little bit of an interview with him:
“The military and the film studios have colluded for more than 50 years. Anytime filmmakers want military assets - ships or tanks or planes - they have to give the Pentagon five copies of their script. And, if there’s anything in the script that’s negative, the Pentagon wants them to take it out. And so they negotiate, and take out any war crimes or foul language, or drinking. Anything that would make the military look bad. And than, after the agreement is made, the military sends a minder onto the set, when the film is being shot, to make sure it’s shot just the way they agreed. And then, once the film is completed, it has to be shown to the Pentagon, admirals and generals, before it’s shown to the public. Dozens of films have not been made because they couldn’t get military assistance. So, people have no idea what they’re not seeing.”
[ID: a screencap from that ‘70s show showing one of the characters counting on his fingers as he says: “the three true branches of the government are military, corporate, and hollywood”. /end ID.]
