“rpf is fine” – tom hanks

I'm trying to take the high road but I'm like, dragging myself bleeding and sobbing along the high road while looking so so longingly at the low road

something hilarious about both mercedes and kind of everyone around him setting silverstone up to be a humiliation ritual for george (special merch in kimis colour, car isnt fixed and they lie through their teeth about it, kimi saying winning georges home race would be a statement, skysports acting like george has no fans here, everyone else being asked about georges performance in the presser for some reason, unexplainable lockup in qualifying that sends him into the pasta wall, netflix crew being on his dick to the point he has to send them away to get a moment of piece, slow puncture during the race that made me think it was all over AND that the people are framing as if he got bullied into a pit stop etc etc etc) and he still came out of it as a winner (brought his flintstone unreliable and slow rocketship home, first podium at silvo while his teammate starting from pole finished p16, had fun with his friends while looking good as always, casually pointed out the issue that took his team like five minutes and two pit stops to recognise etc etc etc and of course he closed the gap to 25 points)

Keep salting the wound I'm close

lord of the rings really was lightning in a bottle. it shouldn’t have worked but by god it did. peter jackson, who had no filmmaking education and was mostly known for making low budget splatter movies, had no business going out and changing the movie industry like that but he did. return of the king showed up at the oscars and became one of the most awarded movies of all time. to this day it holds the record for the highest clean sweep. hollywood will keep trying to recreate that magic with bigger budgets and high profile actors and they will keep failing. i look at the state of these blockbusters where everything is smoothed over by soulless cgi and actors are acting opposite tennis balls and they will never hold a candle to the pure heart and soul and craft of the lord of the rings. every single person involved in that project loved being part of it and it fucking shows. i’m so thankful the stars aligned the way they did for these movies to happen like that.

[girl in a low cut top voice] i just dont know what it is but everyone is being sooo nice to me today….[grows grave and guarded] they’re conspiring against my reign and they think me a fool
