THE PRINCESS BRIDE (1987) dir. Rob Reiner | HOLES (2003) dir. Andrew Davis

One of the best moments of my childhood.

BITCH

ZERO HAD ZERO FUCKS

I can’t even tell you how excited I was that they turned this book into a movie and it was good

I literally have absolutely no complaints with the movie at all. Once, my friend and I did comparisons from the book and the movie, and we found the only major difference was the fact that Stanley wasn’t heavy set when he arrived at the camp in the movie. The majority of the script is raw quotations from the book. This is my favorite book to movie adaptation and it did everything Percy Jackson, Inkheart, and The Golden Compass didn’t.

yesss this was such a good book and film

And the only reason Stanely wasn’t heavy set was because in the book he loses tons of weight and eventually ends up being almost thin. The director said he didn’t want to force an adolescent boy to lose weight on such a quick filming schedule, and L’bouf’s audition was so spot on, that they decided to go with a thinner Stanely from the beginning

A crash course on non-disney films and studios (sequels not included; list is not exhaustive)

This should be standard knowledge for movielovers

It is a pet peeve of mine when people refer to any animated film as Disney. And by “pet peeve” I mean it makes me want to punch them in the face.

Gosh, the Sulllivan Bluth ones were my childhood…

I’m not even supposed to be here today!

I love this movie

I have no clue what movie this is but I want to see it.

it’s from night at the museum 2

the night at the museum films continue to be criminally underrated (aka blown off bc they’re “just comedies for kids”, they are actually Really Really Good Films

Honestly.  Accurate POCs playing POCs (including an Egyptian Pharaoh, Hun warriors and a Native American girl), Robin Williams as Teddy Roosevelt, THIS SCENE and just being awesome in general

there’s a host of crazy shit that goes on, including a fucking t rex that plays fetch with one of its own ribs

long story short; they’re fab

You forgot the tiny gay cowboy and Roman soldier

All of the Night at the Museum movies are wonderful, creative, appeals to all ages, and has a plethora of powerfully positive messages like those listed above. Film major and Shojo approved.

So, yeah, I blew myself up. Best guess…I forgot to account for the excess oxygen… that I’ve been exhaling when I did my calculations. Because I’m stupid. Yeah, I’m gonna get back to work here… just as soon as my ears stop ringing.

This movie was so hilarious

Asked by ANON: Favorite 80s Fantasy Films

The 80s was truly the best decade for cheesy 80s fantasy films. If you haven’t seen all of these, you’re missing out. In order of pictures:

“About Ray”

Tumblr is having an absolute shit fit over this movie. Why? Because the actor portraying the trans male lead is a cis woman. 

You know what? I don’t give a shit. It isn’t perfect. I’ll fucking taking it though. It doesn’t end with his death, he isn’t cornered into submission about his identity at all what so ever (he’s a strong character), and most of all: he’s a fucking trans guy. 

I have only known one trans male character. Adam Torres.

You know what happened to him? Well, he’s fucking dead. I suppose it isn’t a coincidence that he was also played by a cis woman, Jordan Todosey. Despite this discrepancy, he was my favorite character. This character introduced me to the possibility of, you know, being trans. Even though the actor was a cis woman, I still related tremendously. It was almost like the actor’s actual gender did not effect her ability to act and do the role some justice.

I can almost appreciate the fact that Adam died only because it was meant to send a message: this kind of fatality (texting & driving) can happen to anyone. No one is immune. But as far as I know, this was their first and only trans character… so it was kind of a cheap shot. Maybe they were just too tired of Adam being happy.

I have never, ever seen a movie or show with a trans male character that was important or visible. I would love it if trans actors got to play trans characters in the future. I have no problem with that, I hope that this is the stepping stone to make that a reality. 

Boycotting the movie sends the entirely wrong message. It doesn’t say “I have serious criticisms of this film; these problems must be worked on for future productions.” it says, “Don’t ever make a movie about a trans male character or your ship will sink at box office.”

It says, “Your movie failed because it had a trans character.”

Boycotting the movie doesn’t tell anyone in Hollywood anything about the movie, or what could have been done to make it better. It’s just, “People are not willing to invest money to see trans male characters, let’s not do this again.”

And about the whole “[x] is a [x] born in [x] body”/’[x] trapped in [x] body” being transphobic: most trans people relate to that narrative. Those phrases have nuances for each trans person that finds themselves fitting into that narrative. It is obviously transphobic for cis people to describe us this way because it shows a disregard for our safety (since it will undoubtedly trigger dysphoria), but if the main character who’s a fucking trans person is written so they relate to that there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s not necessarily inaccurate.

If you boycott this movie, this is where it ends. We will be stuck with “Boys Don’t Cry” and “About Ray” for the rest of our lives. I don’t know about you, but I will see this movie no matter what any asshole on tumblr says because I can see myself on the big screen for the very first time in my life. I will drag my family to see it, I will take my friends for a second screening, I will buy a copy for myself to watch whenever I feel like I’d be better off dead instead of being trans. This is a fucking nitpick, that is something we haven’t earned the right to do yet.

In love with this video

I actually cried from happiness watching this. HUMANS! MOVIES! THE INTERNET! DANCING!
